hacked Aether Foundation email

from: Lusamine

My groundbreaking research of ultra beasts and wormholes has been revolutionary, to say the least. I don't say that to brag, but only to proclaim truth. I've spent years in the lab, away from my children, so I could come out with something useful. Something extraordinary to not only the scientific community, but the world. Something so incredibility astounding, it could launch us into the next stage of evolution. That way, I could build something so great, my children wouldn't need to worry about their future like I did when I was their age. They could enjoy the massive success I have obtained and live off of the earnings of my work, possibly even carrying it on should that be their desire. While I have achieved my goal, for the most part, and my intentions were as genuine as I described, something went wrong. My team of researchers captured millions of Pokemon from across the civilized part of the world, from many different regions, in order to run experiments and studies. The goal behind this was simple: if we were to release the ultra beasts into the world and use them in our favor, we have to know how they were different from other Pokemon in our world. It turns out, the differences are staggering. I cannot go into detail in this document since we are still analyzing the data. However, one thing was clear to us: the ultra beasts, if utilized properly, would allow the Aether Foundation to gain ultimate power and control over the civilized regions of the planet, in turn allowing us to lead the world into the next phase of evolution with our research, like I mentioned earlier. During our tests, one of the wild Pokemon we obtained seemed to contradict our theories. Without explaining too much, this wild Pokemon essentially became an anomaly. This was infuriating. I was so certain our grasp of the ultra beasts would be an unstoppable force. That was true, until this Froakie rejected what we thought we understood about the ultra beasts and Pokemon of our world. My colleagues urged me to kill this Froakie. That made sense, considering it was only one out of a million failed experiments. I struggled with the notion of taking an innocent life, but I eventually decided that was the only way. The day I made this decision, the Froakie escaped...

"Colress, you've been staring at that screen for quite sometime. Is everything alright?" Mr. Ketchum asked, sitting across from a silent Colress.

"Oh, my apologies. I got lost in... some brilliant fiction! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a genius!" Colress responded as he closed his lap top. "So, have we arrived at the power plant yet?"

"Not yet." Mr. Ketchum replied, gazing out of the window of the van.

"I must say, the prospect of capturing an ultra beast is exciting. Are we certain it will be here?

"Mr. Ketchum nodded. Our undercover team seems to think so. UB-03 Lightning becoming attracted to this place makes sense once you consider it is believed to be akin to an electric-type and the legendary electric-type, Zapdos, has been spotted here. Maybe it wants to be near those it sees as similar to it.."

"Or maybe it's asserting dominance..." Colress pondered.

Upon arriving to the scene, the driver of the van slammed on the brakes so it would not get too close to what was happening; a showdown between Zapdos and UB-03. The two vigorously fought on the grounds of the power plant. Mr. Ketchum and Colress watched in amazement. Zapdos attempted to drill it's beak into UB-03's skin several times, but the mysterious beast used its lanky, flexible body to dodge. Both pokemon fired off powerful Thunderbolt attacks that forcefully collided.

"Unbelievable," Colress said in awe as he observed the impressive collision.

Zapdos swiftly flew around UB-03 like a buzzard, avoiding UB-03's Thunderbolt attempts that instead shot through the clouds in the sky. Zapdos dove down toward the beast with relentless speed; the massive thunder bird pokemon slammed into the beast with all of its force behind its Drill Peck attack. Miraculously, UB-03 violently grabbed Zapdos by the throat and slung the legendary pokemon into the walls of the power plant.

"I can't believe it. Xurkitree defeated Zapdos," Colress said in disbelief.

"This is where we act.." Mr. Ketchum said as he grabbed a pokeball and opened the van door on his side.

Meanwhile, back in Alola on Aether Paradise...

Lusamine stared out of the window of her office, losing herself in thought after watching a broadcast from the Kanto region, in which Officer Jenny addressed the media. She informed them that 4 trainers did not survive the SS Anne accident, and among those trainers was Ash Ketchum.

*flashback*

"Ash seems to be getting along with Gladion and Lillie," Mr. Ketchum said to Lusamine as they watched through the kitchen window the three children played in the back yard.

Lusamine smiled and nodded. "Delia is fine with you bringing Ash over here to visit with your ex-girlfriend and your other children?"

Before Mr. Ketchum could respond, Ash, Gladion and Lillie all stormed in the kitchen./p

"Daddy! Daddy! Is it true Ms. Lusamine is the champion of Alola?" the young Ash asked.

"It is. She just recently defeated Dr. Kukui in the championship."

"That's so cool! I want to battle her one day when I become big and strong!" the young boy enthused.

"Lusamone chuckled. "That sounds splendid, Ash. I look forward to accepting your challenge..." she replied.

*End flashback*

Just then, Wicke, Lusamine's assistant, entered Lusamine's office.

"Madame President! I'm sure you are aware of the broadcast from Kanto this morning?" she eagerly inquired.

Lusamine continued to gaze out of her window as the sunlight lit up her somewhat pale skin. "Tell me something, Wicke.." Wicke became attentive.

"Is immersing ourselves into our work like this worth losing ourselves along the way?" Lusamine pondered.

"Madame, our work isn't just work. It's necessary for humans and pokemon to survive."

"You know he had a dream?" Lusamine said, ignoring Wicke's previous statement.

"I'm sorry? I don't understand?"

"Ash. He had a dream. I took that dream away from him..

"Nonsense! Giovanni and Team Rocket are responsible for the SS Anne sinking!"/p

"I gave the orders.."

"Madame! Please! You have Team Rocket and Team Skull at your fingertips! It is not your fault they are doing our dirty work, merely survival of the fittest! Your hands are clean, I assure you!" Wicke insisted.

The Aether Foundation President and Alola Champion did not appear phased by Wicke's point of view.

"This just in! We are now receiving reports on the SS Anne accident! Yes... I'm... I'm being told the 4 trainers pronounced dead may still be alive!" a news reporter spoke from the television in the background. Lusamine stood up became glued to the screen.

"Our reporter on the scene is now telling us that Ms. Ketchum, Ash Ketchum's mother, has received a text message from her son explaining that he and the others were able to escape the ship and are now on a remote island! That is astounding! Yes, this is a breaking story! The four trainers pronounced dead are now believed to be alive and stranded at sea!"/p

Lusamine quietly turned the tv off and approached the door. "Madame, is everything..." Wicke tried to speak but wasn't sure what to say.

"I'm going to our headquarters in the Kanto region.

Wicke became silent for a moment. "Are you sure that is a good idea?"/p

"I don't need others doing the job for me. I've built this empire from nothing. I defeated every respectable trainer in the Alola region and every champion from other regions who dared to stand against me. I've come too far to turn around now. The boy and his Froakie will get the battle with the champion they want," she said with malice in her voice as she exited the room and left Wicke speechless.
