Illuminating the Darkness

Why are you all ganging up on me like this?

We'll let you go once we clear you of suspicion, so just answer us honestly.

We received a report that Aether Foundation employees were setting up suspicious equipment on the beach.

The president doesn't know about this. Did you give that order?

How would I know anything about that?

Who were you on the phone with?

As I said before, that was, ah, the president, yes.

I have no memory of talking to you on the phone, recently.

Please don't lie, Branch Chief!

I'm not lying.

Grrr...

We have a problem! We just heard that Ultra Beasts are appearing again!

Guess they don't want to give us time to talk...

I'll stay here and take care of this.

Everyone else, please deal with the Ultra Beasts.

Understood. Thank you.

Please be careful, Mother.

You too, Lillie.

Hehehe...

Hahaha! Now no one will interrupt us!

What are you doing?

President Lusamine!

We're replacing you and taking control of the Aether Foundation!

What are you talking about?

We have no reason to follow you any more.

You used to research Ultra Beasts so you could make them yours...

But now you're fixated on family and love and boring Pokémon conservation nonsense!

There's absolutely no benefit to being a part of the foundation!

I couldn't agree more.

Branch Chief! What's wrong with you?

That's why we allied with Team Rocket and sold them our Ultra Wormhole–activation technology!

We want to take over the Aether Foundation and use the power of the Ultra Beasts to do what we want!

Exactly!

Thanks to you, we've been able to exploit that technology! Praise the Aether Foundation!
