Delia had told her family the good news, over videophone, but refused to go into any specifics for the time being. She was glad she didn't when her family told her about the abnormal number of surveyors knocking on their door lately. They were glad for her but her father kept grumbling about when they would meet the young man in person. She had promised them "soon enough" but that due to "extreme conditions" she would not be home for several months.

After that was over, they decided to introduce themselves to the neighborhood. Though it was hardly a neighborhood with how spaced the houses were. After a few friendly greetings and a few people annoyed to have strangers knocking on their door. They came to this one house. It very much stood out from the others but for almost the opposite reason Mr. Fuji's house did. It was very unnatural and almost alien in appearance. The yard was very unhealthy looking, possibly because no pokémon, like diglet, wanted to live near the house. They knocked on the door nonetheless and a somewhat old man answered.

"Hello" Delia began "we just wanted to stop by and say hello since we'll be staying here for a while"

The man only seemed to be half listening "Yes, yes, now if you excuse me I-"

"Is something the matter?"

"Well..." the old man seemed to be considering rather or not to respond truthfully. "Yes, I just got word that an old colleague of mine, Dr. Fuji's daughter has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness. She still has a good few years left, but that on top of my grandson running away from home a couple years back. It's starting to really get to me."

"Amber? That's terrible"

"You know the Fujis."

"Yes, we were visiting lavender town recently and we met Them. They're great people"

"That they are. I just hope the man comes out of it ok. A family member with such an illness is always life shattering, but Amber is everything to Fuji. I am actually a little worried he'll do something drastic. he was a little unstable until she came along."

"Really? I didn't know that."

"Yeah, well, it probably doesn't come up in everyday conversation now does it."

"What about your grandson?"

"I really don't know. his parents have beachfront property in Sunnyshore and another one on Melemele Island in Alola that they spend the colder half of the year in. He was brilliant with electronics. there was one day though when he was having trouble with the circuitry of something or other. it frustrated him so bad he threw it across the room and it shattered. Since that day he's been different. Almost as if his own outburst scared himself so bad that he committed to never let his emotions get control of him again. I blame myself a little. if I had only been there for him while he was struggling in those crucial years."

"What was he like?"

"He was super pale, some would have assumed he was an albino if it wasn't for his stone-gray eyes. even his hair was white. Though he dyed it blue before he left, claiming he wanted to be like azelf, a master of willpower. He… well I don't really know. Like I said the last few times I Saw him… Guzma had changed. And I wasn't around as much as I should have been, even before… thank you. I needed someone to talk to."

"Any time Mr…"

"Cyrus, William Cyrus."

in the five or more years between DPPt and XY he also established a fake alias as Lysandre. both of their goals as well as their teams (pokemon as well as human) as well as Guzma's battle tree pokemon team in Moon are surprisingly similar, if cyrus' gyrados in the DP remakes is shiny #theoryconfirmed

obviously there are some counter arguements such as why does guzma show so much emotion? OR didn't lysandre die? OR why does he seem to be aging in reverse?

1. Guzma's emotions are a front. though he still abhors emotions (that is until Nihilego saves him) after trying to end the world twice, he has realized that the fear of others can be a powerful thing. it can inspire someone to act with more conviction than a subordinate without emotion could ever hope to. it could also force an enemy to submit to inaction if they fear what will happen if they try.

2. Lysandre didn't die he was made immortal just like AZ was. simple as that. the significant thing here is that it worked as a catylist for his realizations in SM

3. infinity energy. warp tiles are powered by infinity energy, and team Galactic's base has tons of them. we also know in XY he uses A LOT of it. who says their boss wasn't using that power for other things. plus though he looks old he is only 27 durring DPPt which would make him 34-36 in SM/USUM Lusamine on the other hand looks to be in her 20s and is over 40. coincidence or trading secrets?
