THE ESTATE OF NIBIRU-MUL PRESENTS
AETHER: PARADISE OR PRISON?
CHAPTER 1: PROLOGUE
It had been a while since Hilbert had gone on his adventure with his friends Hilda, Bianca, and Cheren. Hilbert was growing up, and was feeling bored about . He also expressed a wish to travel. Hilda, his cousin and closest friend, decided to accompany him. The two of them were going to stay in Alola for several months. Hilbert went looking for a job so he could support himself.
Eventually, Hilbert found the Aether Paradise. He took a liking to the concept - a paradise for Pokemon to live in. He arrived by boat to Aether Paradise, where he was received by Lusamine, the president of the Aether Foundation. He dressed in a suit to go to his interview.
"Greetings. My name is Lusamine, and I am the president of Aether Foundation. At Aether Paradise, we promise a safe space for all Pokemon, where they can be loved and protected from wretched thieves like Team Skull. I am like a mother to all Pokemon and shower them with my affection. What brings you to
"I would like to work here," said Hilbert. "I'm planning on staying here for several months to help raise money for my family. I love taking care of Pokemon and helping people out. I may be young, but I've had lots of experience as a Trainer. I've worked at Pokemon shelters and taken care of Pokemon at my grandparents' farm. Do you think I'm the right man for the job?"
"Well," said Lusamine, "I've looked at your credentials, and I admit, you seem to be quite fit for this job. I think you're just the kind of person my company needs."
Lusamine reached out her hand and shook Hilbert's hand. The two of them discussed Hilbert's living arrangements.
After about an hour, Hilbert left the office and talked to Hilda.
"I got the job!" he said.
"Congratulations!" said Hilda.
"She even gave me a room in the Aether Paradise," said Hilbert, "and I get to have free food at the cafeteria."
"That sounds great!" said Hilda. "I've got a job too. I'm going to be helping the Alolan branch of the International Police - they work with the Aether Foundation, so we'll see each other often."
"Cool," said Hilbert. "I'm also going to be starting tomorrow. Right now, I'm going to be going to my suite to unpack my things."
Hilbert did some exploring. He became acquainted with several other members of the Aether Foundation. They gave Hilbert his uniform. He then went to take a look around the conservation area. There were plenty of Pokemon, and all of them seemed very happy.
"This seems like a nice place," said Hilbert. "The Pokemon are happy, and the employees are happy. I'm going to be having the time of my life here."
That night, Hilbert e-mailed his parents and told them the good news. His parents wished him luck. He poured himself a glass of milk and added some chocolate powder to make himself some chocolate milk. He then took out some bread, peanut butter, and strawberry jam to make himself a sandwich. Hilbert always liked to go to bed on a full stomach. After drinking his milk and eating his sandwich, Hilbert felt tired.
"Now it's time for me to hit the hay," said Hilbert. "Tomorrow's going to be a big day."
Hilbert stripped down to a T-shirt and a pair of boxers, and then he climbed into bed. He relaxed there until he went to sleep. Hilbert was in for a great adventure...
