I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Now it was Aisha's turn to be confused.

"Am I wrong?"

He scratched his cheek and said, "I thought Boss Sakaki was planning to enter Alola and develop the Rainbow Rocket's tourism industry. And in order to gather intelligence on our future competitor, the Aether Foundation, he asked you to come and ask me about anything related to the Aether Foundation."

"You think too much..."

Yin felt helpless when he heard this.

However, the atmosphere among the few people was eased a lot by Aisha's interruption, and became relaxed and pleasant.

"I didn't expect Coach Ai to be so focused on the development of the organization even when he was away."

Yin changed the subject and said this with emotion.

"As expected of the creator of Team Rainbow Rocket, whom my father often praised..."

Aisha: "?"

Hearing Yin's sigh, a question mark popped up in Aisha's head.

what's the situation?

I just said it casually. What are you imagining now?

Moreover, the creator of Team Rainbow Rocket...

I'm not, I didn't!

Don't talk nonsense. This organization is clearly your and your father's family business. What does it have to do with me?

"Hey."

Unaware of Aisha's resistance, Yin continued to sigh to himself.

"With a strong leader like Coach Ai always paying attention to our organization, why should we worry about its development and growth?"

Aisha: "......"

Aisha was speechless.

silver......

Is your character a little off track?

Fortunately, although Yin was feeling emotional, he still didn't forget to talk about the important matter.

"Actually, during this period, our technicians discovered that someone has been trying to investigate your whereabouts, Coach Ai."

"My whereabouts?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both Yin and Aixia's expressions suddenly became serious.

The relaxed and happy atmosphere just now was immediately replaced by seriousness.

"Ah."

Silver nodded.

“…That’s impossible.”

Aisha was silent for a moment, thinking about the context, and a bold idea came to his mind.

"It's just what you think."

Yin's eyes were very serious. He turned to Aisha and said, "It's the people from the Ether Foundation who are trying to track you down."

"Um......"

After saying this, Aisha bit her lip.

It's not that I'm nervous or panicky, but I'm confused.

He hadn't lied to Yin before.

So far, he has never dealt with anyone from the Ether Foundation. The two sides have absolutely no intersection and are complete strangers.

Now, Yin suddenly told him that people from the Ether Foundation were trying to track him down, and Aisha could only feel confused and puzzled.

“We are also confused here…”

Seeing Aisha's expression, Yin knew that he had not hidden anything from him, so he spread his hands helplessly.

"Logically speaking, you and them have no connection at all, not even met. The Aether Foundation's activities have always been limited to the Alola region. You've never even been to the Alola region. It's truly a remote possibility."

"so......"

Aisha looked at Yin, waiting for his next words.

"so."

Yin scratched his head and said, "Our speculation is that the Aether Foundation has no ill intentions towards you."

When he said this, Yin himself felt a little funny.

He suddenly realized that the black-haired boy standing in front of him was a world-renowned champion-level trainer.

He once defeated the undefeated legend and invincible champion of the Galar region in the Palace Arena, and his strength is speculated to be close to that of the legendary trainer Red.

Although the Aether Foundation is powerful, it is just a regional organization that can easily cause trouble in the Alola region.

Even if their chairman had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Aixia...

"I think so too."

Aisha spread his hands, showing a helpless expression.

“I don’t know them…”

Having said that, Aisha also understood what Yin meant.

He is not a fool, not that stupid.

"You mean, maybe they want something from me?"

"Probably."

Silver nodded.

"The Aether Foundation is actually a very strange organization."

He said this, with a strange expression on his face.

"really......"

Aisha, who knew all the secrets of the Aether Foundation, crossed her arms and had an expression similar to Yin's.

Lusamine...the current chairman of the Aether Foundation.

She was a woman that Aisha didn't know how to evaluate.

On the surface, as the current person in charge of the Aether Foundation, Lusamine's external image has always been that of a person who "deeply loves Pokémon."

The Ether Foundation under her has always been following Lusamine's character as the chairman and has been doing rescue work for stray and wild Pokémon.

That's right.

well.

but......

Is this really the case?

Sadly, it's not...

Lusamine, who seems to be deeply in love with Pokémon, is actually a twisted woman who is paranoid and crazy.

If you must say, she is actually very similar to the collector Gilluta whom Aisha met before.

It's true that Lusamine loves Pokémon, but this love has been twisted to the point of madness.

She wanted to collect all the Pokémon, and even tried to research live freezing technology to store her favorite Pokémon in her room.

At the same time, the way she gets along with her children is also a classic example of a bad parent who is overly controlling.

A big part of the reason why Lillie stole Nebula from the Aether Foundation's research institute and left the Aether Paradise with it was because of Lusamine's excessive desire for control.

"Although the Aether Foundation has been actively working to rescue wild Pokémon, and thus has a good reputation, it also has many local investments and economic projects in the Alola region to cover up its losses." Silver also imitated Aisha, crossing his arms across his chest and saying, "However, according to our investigation and some intelligence from the Alliance, the Aether Foundation seems to be conducting some special research that is unknown to the public."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Aisha showed a teasing expression.

"And you said that Boss Sakaki has no plans for the Alola region?"

"cough."

Silver showed an embarrassed expression.

This is really speechless.

The Rainbow Rocket Team investigated the Ether Foundation and also sought information from the Alliance. No one would believe them if they didn't regard the Ether Foundation as an imaginary enemy.

"Let's get down to business, business..." He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Anyway, the Alola region seems to be hiding some secrets unknown to outsiders, known only to the locals. We suspect that the Aether Foundation's secret research is one of these Alola-specific secrets."

"I see."

Aisha nodded, and at the same time, her mind became active.

The unknown secret hidden in the Alola region, or what the Aether Foundation is researching, isn't this the Ultra Hole and Ultra Space?

The reason why Lusamine went from being a mere paranoid to a true villain was because of the Ultra Beasts that emerged from the Ultra Cave.

Aixia still remembered that when he was about to challenge Qinglv's Evergreen Gym in Evergreen City, Qinglv told him about the Ultimate Cave.

At that time, the League sent Green, a champion-level trainer, to the Alola region to assist the Aether Foundation in investigating the Ultra Hole and Ultra Space.

Later, due to the information feedback from Qinglv, the Alliance determined that the Ultimate Hole and the Ultimate Space were too dangerous, so they stopped the Ether Foundation's research on them and withdrew Qinglv, a high-level combat force, meaning that they did not intend to support the Ether Foundation's research.

but......

It now seems that Lusamine has not given up because of the alliance's lack of cooperation.

On the contrary, this woman has been secretly investigating the Ultimate Hole and the Ultimate Space behind the Alliance.

Her obsession with the Ultimate Beast may have already formed!

"That is to say, the plot is about to begin..." Aisha thought.

Yin is still analyzing it over there.

"As for the reason why the Aether Foundation is tracking you, after much thought, there's actually only one reason."

"Hmmmm~"

Aisha was brought back to her senses by Yin's words.

Although he knew the answer in his heart, in order to satisfy Yin's rare desire to talk, he still showed an expression of "wanting to hear more details" on his face.

"The Aether Foundation's secret research is likely related to the exploration of some mysterious area, or perhaps Pokémon. Therefore, a researcher like you with a deep understanding of Pokémon and a powerful trainer would be an excellent choice, whether recruiting you as a technical advisor or providing combat support."

"Um......"

Aisha nodded in understanding.

Simply put, the Ether Foundation was targeting his knowledge reserves and combat effectiveness.

The reason for tracking his location was most likely just to find him and talk to him about this matter.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that I was a researcher."

Aisha's expression was a little complicated.

It was Dr. Oak who helped him apply for the researcher status.

The original purpose of applying for this researcher status was to sell beauty energy cubes.

Unexpectedly, this identity has now become a plus point for him to be targeted by the Ether Foundation.

and......

Aisha was very surprised. Judging from what Silver said just now, Team Rainbow Rocket probably didn't know about the existence of the Ultra Hole and Ultra Space.

But they actually managed to guess the direction of the Ether Foundation's secret research...

All I can say is that he is worthy of being called Sakaki - a talent who once tried to clone the mythical Pokémon Mew and succeeded in a sense.

If the concept of "another world outside this world" such as the Ultimate Space was not so unbelievable, he would have guessed the color of the Aether Foundation's underwear.
