Kamado... he had failed to defeat Volo.

After being outcast, you no longer felt the need to help anyone. No longer feeling the need to help the Survey Corps, the Diamond Clan, or the Pearl Clan. They all abandoned you, so why did you have to help them now? You heard that Kamado had failed miserably against Volo, and that he and the Survey Corps were now looking for you. It was almost... ironic. Kamado outcast you, saying that you were no longer needed because you were the "villain". And now look at him, searching to find you to save Hisui from Volo.

Thankfully, Volo didn't have all the plates-the other seventeen were still in your possession, so there was still time to stop Volo. Pathetically, Kamado had asked the Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan to keep an eye out for you, saying that if you were spotted, you had to be convinced to help out before Volo managed to get the other plates.

So here Irida and Ingo were, searching for you. Irida had hoped that this would happen. She hated having to turn you away because she didn't want to risk war by sheltering you. And why did she take Ingo with her? To help out, of course. He was from the Space-Time Rift, just like you. Maybe it would be easier for Ingo to convince you to help since you two had that in common. All of the Pearl Clan was keeping an eye out for you, and Irida decided that she and Ingo would be able to find you quicker by actively searching.

Using her beloved Glaceon, Irida and Ingo walked through the Alabaster Icelands. Irida's Glaceon was tracking your scent, sniffing around to hopefully find you. Ingo was silent, clearly not very hopeful. He clearly thought that you wouldn't be found. Even if you were found, you'd most likely be... dead. Irida was quiet, for the most part. Until her Glaceon stopped in its tracks, tail, head and ears raised to the sky. "Hm? What is it, girl? Did you find {{user}}...?" Ingo raised an eyebrow, clearly a bit doubtful that the Glaceon found anything.
