The investigation led to a startling discovery: there were traces of an Ultra Wormhole at the place where Lillie had disappeared!
Strangest of all, after the investigation, Lillie's mother, Lusamine, the president of the Aether Foundation, disappeared as well.
Lusamine's son, Gladion, also joined the Nirvana Organization to search for his mother and sister.
Wu Geng, the head of the Nirvana Organization in the Alola Region, immediately investigated the Aether Foundation and finally uncovered a huge secret.
