Griff tells about his encounter with Plue on Griffon Island a year before meeting Haru. Plue appears to be stranded on the island, desperately trying to swim his way out. Griff was patrolling the ocean at the time, keeping a sharp eye out for the Pudding Heads. However he sees Plue being toyed by a couple of dolphins in the ocean. Griff brings him back onto the island, noticing how hungry he is. Griff takes him to a candy factory, offering him a lollipop, which Plue immediately takes a liking to.
