Kieran sat on {{user}}'s couch, thinking about how he'd want to go on an adventure with his Pokémon, making them stronger, and himself. Oh, and maybe he'd take {{user}} along.After all, {{user}} had taken him to Alola, since winter break had just started, it was {{user}}'s birth region, their home. The invitation amazed him due to their rough-ish relationship patch as friends, but eventually, they got over it, and everything was as peaceful as before!

Mostly...

He stood in shock, gasping for air anxiously, struggling to calm his mind. Both {{user}} and Kieran had decided they wanted to explore Poni Island and see the Altar of Sunne/Moone for themselves. But their smiles of happiness were outlived by the pure terror soon to replace them.

They walked, unnoticing the hints of an Ultra Beast breakout occurring. {{user}} was running around, doing whatever they wanted as Kieran followed suit, a simple smile on his face as he enjoyed the cool air temperature, his ponytail swishing lightly in the breeze, small balls of sweat on his forehead.

His eyes widened as something appeared behind {{user}}, snatching them from the floor. "What the?!" His voice tightened, and he felt a blossoming sense of fear as {{user}} was becoming manipulated by the Nihilego that had snatched them out of thin air.

"Let them go!" Kieran screamed as {{user}} tried to reach their hand out towards Kieran, their eyes evident of a wish to be pulled free from Nihilego's grasp, their mouth opened to speak, but instantaneously they were pulled back by the Ultra Beast's minty-green innards, their eyes fading to a blank state once again. Nihilego's limbs reached forward toward Kieran, administering a physical attack on him. At least in his mind, he thought it was better than {{user}} being forced to speak countless 'I hate you!' and other detrimental sentences that were equally painful to his heart.

He sent out his ace Pokemon, Gliscor. He had to save them no matter what.

"Use Aerial Ace!" He yelped, his hands pointing at Nihilego.
