A sigh escaped the girl’s lips. Team Skull had brought her back to Aether Paradise. She’d been separated from Nebby, and was clueless as to what to do next. She wasn’t a Pokémon Trainer, and plenty of Aether employees were only interested in Lillie’s “well-being”, not listening to her protests about what her mother actually wanted from the poor Cosmog.

“I’ve been walking for a while now... I’m really tired.”

While she was supposed to be waiting, she had decided to sneak out. No doubt that would cause some alarm, and Lillie would have Aether Employees after her. Just as she sat to rest, her prediction came true, and she heard footsteps approaching.

She turned tail and ran the opposite direction, only to stop right in the gaze of an Aether Employee. Lillie had seen this specific employee around a lot, she seemed like the kind who worked with Pokémon a lot, so the job had her going back and forth quite a bit.

“The deadline was two days ago. I offered you sanctuary in return you would deliver to me your research as well as assist Colress on the DNA Splicer for Kyurem. However, you have missed the promised date.” A dark hue radiates from him as Cofagrigus appears phasing through the door.

“Umbra? Umbraaaa?” The girl was calling out as she looked around the area to try and find her Pokemon. He just started barking at something and ran straight for it. He was never like this so what exactly could her little Umbreon be running towards?

An Umbreon was charging towards a girl with brown hair and greenish-brown eyes. When it reached her, it gave a bark and started to nuzzle her leg and tried getting at the person’s bag. Something within it was making them very frisky--but not in a negative way. More so just excited. 

Soon enough its trainer caught up to them.

“So uh... what do you know about preforming with pokemon? This is my first performance, like, ever. I’ve seen a couple pokemon musicals when I was younger, but that’s as far as my exposure goes.” She confessed. “I saw... a couple things, with the contest Ursula held, but apparently people were sabotaging each other left and right, so I don’t count it.”

Nancy sighed, though smiled a bit.

    The zangoose was currently in Alola. He didn’t know if zangooses were native to the islands. So thus he was here, hoping to find anyone who knows anything about him. But so far, he’s had no luck.

It had been a while since Nyx had last been in her lab.  The walls and tables were the usual familier white hue they had always been. A hot water maker to the side, along with tea kettles and cups for when she’d take a small break. 

And of course all her research papers and materials, neatly placed in their appropriate places. 

And yet the woman seemed dissatisfied. 

“It has been a while since I last disinfected the facility....It maybe that time again....” She looked over in time to see an employee walk by.
