Chapter Two

The Slumber of Aether

During the fall of the world, several criminal organization rose to the prominence; such as Team Rocket, Team Galactic; the competing teams Aqua and Magma, Team Plasma was probably the worse as they intended over the years to eradicate humanity and turn Earth into a Pokémon paradise. Before all of them, The Aether Foundation was the prime one, the catalyst that turned the world into what it become.

The war that divided the planet and decimated humanity was the product of the Foundation, the Foundation as it was known became the organization that inspired every single one of the delinquent groups and even so much of the founders such as Giovanni from Team Rocket, had their starts.

Those days, the Foundation started to develop a sanctuary in the seas of the Alolan Archipelago, it was an artificial island that would shelter Pokémon's from around the world. A glory that would mimic Noah's Ark and would protect the Pokémon against humanity. It was a crazy idea, but also it was the way they sold to the people for over the decades to position their branding and corporation as a pacifist and charitable entity.

It was a well-executed plan, perfect to sell it to the public and the public bought it. People started to trust Aether Fondation with their precious friends over the decades and started to volunteer and work within the shadows of the organization. The Foundation grew economically and become a powerhouse around the globe, generating jobs and giving critical care to the growing population of the "newly" discovered species.

Nobody suspected about the activities of the Foundation, but their secret project was experimentation on Pokémon and humans, as well later to develop an interdimensional portal to study how far and beyond the Pokémon "virus" expanded across the multiverse. It was such a grandiose idea, the exploration of regions far beyond Earth, but also on a long term it became their biggest mistake.

The base of the Foundation was executed and planned by Lusamine father, she couldn't remember his name, in fact she could barely remember some pieces of her childhood. Much of everything surrounding her formative years were in mist; she always remembered seeing her father and mother experimenting on the beta project of the interdimensional portal which would end with her husband Mohn, 35 years later.

Some of her memories weren't even hers, some of her memories and intention were preset by the people she called family.
