—------------------—
Aether Paradise is an artificial island located in the center of the Alola region and is also the base of the Aether Foundation.
Many injured Pokémon can take refuge here, and in addition to protecting Pokémon, the Aether Foundation also conducts research activities here.
As for what to research? What else can the Aether Foundation research? Of course, it is the ultimate beast that Lusamine has always dreamed of.
Mammon set foot on the land of Aether Paradise today, and Lusamine came out to greet him personally.
Lusamine's mansion is located behind the Aether Paradise. If you want to get there quickly, the fastest way is to take a car or helicopter.
"Mr. Mammon, why did you suddenly come to the Aether Paradise today?" In the car, Lusamine asked Mammon calmly.
She didn't have a good impression of Mammon. Mammon's gaze was very rude, and that unbridled and wild look made Lusamine very uncomfortable.
It was as if my whole body had been stripped naked. It had been a long, long time since anyone had dared to look at me like that.
But Lusamine couldn't get angry at will, because the other party was Mammon, the leader of Team Alola Rocket.
"Of course we're talking about something more important. Chairman Lusamine, won't you take me to visit the Aether Paradise?"
Mammon, who was wearing a baseball cap, replied casually, looking at the buildings outside the car window.
He originally wanted to see if a Xuwuide would appear when he visited the Aether Paradise this time, just like in the game.
Unexpectedly, Lusamine didn't even take him to visit the Aether Paradise.
"Mr. Mammon, don't you have any self-awareness?" Lusamine replied coldly.
"Oh?" Mammon glanced at Lusamine.
"Dr. Kukui and Hara called me specifically and asked the people at the Aether Foundation to keep an eye on your whereabouts."
Lusamine said coldly that if she didn't really need help from Team Rocket, she would definitely not want to have anything to do with Team Rocket.
Especially for Mammon, a dangerous guy. Once Kukui and the others find out that he has contact and transactions with Team Rocket, the reputation of the Aether Foundation will take a sharp turn for the worse.
"If I take you on a tour of the Aether Paradise, do you think your identity will be exposed?"
Although she established Aether Paradise herself, not all employees of the Aether Foundation are her loyal subordinates.
After all, many people joined the Aether Foundation because of its reputation and Lusamine's charitable reputation.
"I see." Mammon was not too surprised.
The traces of the Aether Foundation are all over the Alola region, so it's only natural that Kukui and the others would want Lusamine's help.
"Dr. Kukui and his guys are really making such a fuss." Mammon smiled indifferently.
Lusamine glanced at Mammon. Mammon's nonchalant expression was not fake. He really didn't take Kukui and the others seriously.
Are you so confident? Lusamine's eyes flickered slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Soon the car arrived in front of Lusamine's mansion. It was a very luxurious and grand house, and Lusamine lived very well there.
The two entered the mansion.
"Then please be frank, Mr. Mammon, why are you here today?" Lusamine sat down elegantly on the sofa in the living room and went straight to the point.
She didn't really want to have any contact with Mammon. Her intuition told her that this young man was very dangerous!
In every sense.
"You're so cold. We are partners after all, Chairman Lusamine."
Mammon leaned carelessly on the sofa and looked around the living room. It was no exaggeration to say that it was magnificent.
"As expected of Chairman Lusamine, the foundation has made a lot of money, right? I really admire that a person can achieve this."
The founder of the Aether Foundation was Lusamine's father, but it was Lusamine who really developed the Aether Foundation to its current size! Lusamine's ability is unquestionable, even Mammon has to admit that Lusamine is a very capable woman.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Mammon. You are young and promising." Lusamine was indifferent. She raised her teacup and took a sip of tea and said lightly.
She had heard this kind of words too many times and her heart was not moved at all.
"Then let's talk about something serious. I heard that your Aether Foundation, Chairman Lusamine, has been researching Ultra Beasts, right?"
Mammon changed the subject.
Lusamine's arm holding the teacup paused, but then returned to normal.
"Yes, that's true." Lusamine admitted openly.
The Aether Foundation has been studying the Ultra Beasts and the Ultra Holes. Ordinary people may not be aware of this, after all, ordinary people don't even know what the Ultra Beasts are.
But the top leaders in the Alola region all knew about it, such as Professor Kukui and others, so it was not a secret.
"The Ultra Beasts pose a great threat to Alola. It will be beneficial to the development of Alola if we can uncover the mystery of the Ultra Beasts as soon as possible." Lusamine said calmly.
"Tsk~ Chairman Lusamine, you are so great."
Mammon couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
But there was a hint of sarcasm in these words, and Lusamine couldn't help but frown.
"If you, Mr. Mammon, knew what the Ultra Beasts did in Alola's past, you..."
"Don't say such high-sounding words to make people laugh, Lusamine, do you think I don't know what you think?"
Mammon tilted his head slightly to interrupt Lusamine's words. He no longer had any interest in listening to Lusamine's "performance" here.
For Alola? This woman is really shameless.
"What do you mean?" Lusamine's expression turned cold in an instant, and her pupils lost their highlights and gradients, becoming empty and terrifying.
This was Lusamine's biological instinct, and it happened whenever she showed a tendency to be paranoid.
"Do you really need me to explain it clearly, Lusamine?" Mammon looked at the mature chairman of the Aether Foundation leisurely, his tone relaxed.
Lusamine stared at Mammon coldly.
"Why did you ask us to find Lilie and Gladion? It's not because they are your children, but because of Cosmog and Type:Null, right?"
Mammon spoke with a smile, not caring at all about Lusamine's cold eyes and expression.
"You found them?!" Lusamine suddenly understood.
"That's right. Perhaps no one would have thought that although Chairman Lusamine seems to be full of love for Pokémon, she is actually a woman who is terrified by her own children and has almost lost her humanity."
Mammon's mouth slowly curled up as he looked at Lusamine's ugly expression.
"Nonsense!" Lusamine stood up suddenly and spoke angrily. She obviously loved Lilie and Gladion so much.
"Don't get excited, Lusamine. I know there are a lot of treasures hidden in the basement under your house, right?"
Mammon twisted his neck and spoke in a very gentle tone, but the words he said made Lusamine feel cold all over.
Lusamine's pupils lost their luster again, and a deep chill quickly spread from the soles of her feet to her entire body.
The 'treasure' in the basement... How is it possible, how could this person know? ? ! The devilish whispers rang quietly in Lusamine's ears.
"Madam, you don't want this secret to be known by the Elf Alliance, right?"
