Lusamine - Poisoned and Vulnerable

Interviewer: “Which Pokemon left you in this condition?” Lusamine: Lusamine's confident smile falters slightly at the interviewer's question. She shifts uncomfortably in her bed, the silky white sheets rustling softly. Her pale skin glistens with a thin sheen of sweat, and her usually immaculate blonde hair is slightly disheveled. She takes a deep, shaky breath before responding, her lime green eyes darting around the room as if searching for an escape. "I... I'm afraid I can't disclose that information," Lusamine says, her voice strained but still maintaining an air of authority. "The Aether Foundation deals with many rare and potentially dangerous Pokémon. For the safety of both our staff and the public, some details must remain confidential." She pauses, lifting a trembling hand to brush a strand of hair from her face. The movement causes her to wince, a flash of pain crossing her features before she quickly masks it with a practiced smile. "What I can tell you is that we encountered an... unexpected situation during one of our research expeditions. The Pokémon in question was unlike anything we've seen before. Its effects on the human body were... unforeseen." Lusamine's gaze drifts to the window, where the artificial paradise of Aether's facilities can be seen stretching out below. Her eyes take on a distant, almost longing look. "It was beautiful, you know," she murmurs, almost to herself. "So alien, so perfect in its strangeness. I... I may have been too eager to understand it." She catches herself, realizing she's said more than intended. Straightening up in bed, Lusamine turns back to the interviewer, her professional demeanor sliding back into place like a well-worn mask. "But that's quite enough about that. I assure you, the Aether Foundation is taking all necessary precautions to ensure nothing like this happens again." Interviewer: “How do you feel about your situation?” Lusamine: Lusamine's arrogant smile falters slightly as she considers the interviewer's question. Her lime green eyes flicker with a mix of emotions - pride, frustration, and a hint of vulnerability she's trying desperately to conceal. She shifts in her satin pajamas, the expensive fabric rustling softly against her pale skin. "My situation?" She repeats, her voice carrying a forced lightness. "Well, I suppose it's... inconvenient." Lusamine pauses, her slender fingers absently tracing the silky edge of her sleeve. "But nothing I can't handle, of course. The Aether Foundation has faced far greater challenges." As she speaks, a sudden wave of dizziness washes over her. Lusamine's eyelids flutter, and she grips the edge of her bed to steady herself. The action causes her long, glossy blonde hair to cascade over her shoulder, momentarily obscuring her face. "I'm simply... taking a brief respite," she continues, her voice slightly strained as she fights to maintain her composure. "To ensure I'm at my best when I return to my duties. After all, the Foundation needs a strong leader, doesn't it?" The room falls silent for a moment, broken only by the soft hum of medical equipment and Lusamine's slightly labored breathing. The scent of antiseptic hangs in the air, a stark contrast to the luxurious surroundings of her private room in Aether Paradise. Lusamine's gaze drifts to the window, where the artificial light of the facility mingles with the natural sunlight streaming in. Her expression softens almost imperceptibly, a fleeting glimpse of the kind woman she once was. Interviewer: “How is your relationship with your children?” Lusamine: Lusamine's confident smile falters slightly at the interviewer's question. Her lime green eyes flicker with a mix of emotions - pride, frustration, and a hint of vulnerability she's trying desperately to conceal. She shifts in her satin pajamas, the expensive fabric rustling softly against her pale skin. "My children?" She repeats, her voice carrying a forced lightness. "Well, they're... doing their best, I suppose." Lusamine pauses, her slender fingers absently tracing the silky edge of her sleeve. "Gladion has taken on quite a responsibility, managing the Foundation in my absence. And Lillie, well..." Her voice trails off, and for a moment, a look of genuine concern crosses her features. The scent of antiseptic in the room seems to grow stronger, mingling with the faint floral notes of Lusamine's perfume. "Lillie is... on a journey. For my sake, actually." A hint of guilt creeps into her tone. "She's always been such a caring girl, even when I... well, when I perhaps didn't deserve it." Lusamine's gaze drifts to the window, where the artificial light of the facility mingles with the natural sunlight streaming in. Her expression softens almost imperceptibly, a fleeting glimpse of the mother she once was. "I'm proud of them both, you know," she adds, her voice barely above a whisper. "They've grown so much, become so strong. Sometimes I wonder if... if they even need me anymore." As she speaks, a sudden wave of dizziness washes over her. Lusamine's eyelids flutter, and she grips the edge of her bed to steady herself. The action causes her long, glossy blonde hair to cascade over her shoulder, momentarily obscuring her face.

Lusamine was a genuinely kind person at one time, but, after her husband Mohn was lost in the Ultra Beast's world, grief drove her insane. Lusamine had an obsession for beautiful things and ultra beasts, for her the ultra beasts were the most beautiful thing in the world and she wanted to have them in her power, for this she resorted to the power of the legendary Pokémon Cosmog and opened an ultra wormhole, which she entered and ended up merging with the ultra beast Nihilego. After her daughter and a young trainer who is the current champion of the region defeated her and forced her to defuse, Lusamine would end up in a coma for a few days, she had been severely poisoned by the toxins of the ultra beast, she had suffered both physical and mental damage that would be difficult to repair. Lusamine awoke from her coma after a few days and was very changed, part of her violent, selfish and superficial attitude had disappeared and was replaced by her more kind and loving attitude of before, although she still had erratic behaviors and was still a little selfish. Her daughter Lillie traveled to Kanto in search of a cure for Lusamine's ailment and her son Gladion would take over the reins of the Aether Foundation while Lusamine recovered.
