Wicke

"Excuse me, Mr. Faba..." "Yes... Branch Manager Faba..." "Phew..." "Welcome to Aether Paradise. My name is Wicke." "One of our employees told me about your meeting on Akala Island. And of course, I heard how you helped protect the Pokémon there, too, young Mr. Hau. Thank you very much! Let me show you around. The main entrance is up above us." "Shall we zip right up there?" "I have to tell you how much I appreciate what you did for Miss Lillie and Madam Lusamine." "Miss Lillie asked me a last favor before she left. She wanted me to explain to you why she and her mother had to go to Kanto." "You see... while we do not know if it was because of Nihilego's neurotoxins, her fusion with that beast, or the strain of the Z-Power..." "the ill effects of this episode on Madam Lusamine's body and mind have been undeniable. She has hardly roused since." "But Miss Lillie found a ray of hope in a book that she remembered reading long ago." "It was regarding a man named Bill, who invented the Pokémon Storage System used in our PCs." "This inventor, who lives in the Kanto region, once combined himself with a Pokémon in an experiment that apparently went awry..." "We keep Pokémon that have been targeted by Team Skull here... And we also try to support Pokémon that need a little extra protection. Like Corsola, for example. They are quite terribly overhunted by a Pokémon called Mareanie." "I hope you don't mind if I read a passage from my old Pokédex. I traveled through Kanto before, when I was younger, you see." ""Corsola. "In Alola, where their natural enemies Mareanie are plentiful, many Corsola have stubby branches on their heads."" "Nature does have its own balance, of course. It can be difficult to judge just how much we humans should try to affect that, can't it?" "I couldn't say... It's hard to know for sure what our president is thinking sometimes." "If you'd like to meet President Lusamine, she should be here in the conservation area now." "If you'd like to continue on, I think you will find the president is still in the area." "That tremor... Did something happen on the lower floors?" "That hole... That Pokémon... What in the world are they?" "O-oh! At once, ma'am!" "I'll see the two of you to Ula'ula Island, then."
