Not long before.
Aether Paradise, the Chairwoman's Office.
Wicke suddenly rushed into Lusamine's office in a panic.
For a moment, Lusamine almost thought Wicke was staging a coup.
"Chairwoman, we have news! News from the Galar Region!"
"What news?"
Lusamine did not catch on at first.
What did news from the Galar Region have to do with them?
The Aether Foundation's reach did not extend that far. It had no operations in the Galar Region.
Wicke quickly projected the message onto a screen.
The message came from the Missing Persons Search Association in the Galar Region.
The Aether Foundation had posted a reward notice there,
offering one hundred million Pokémon Dollars for finding Professor Mohn, or fifty million Pokémon Dollars for reliable information.
Lusamine had posted the same reward notice not only in the Galar Region, but across all Eight Regions.
For a time, quite a few people had actually set out specifically to search for Professor Mohn.
Of course, there had been a similar surge of activity roughly six years ago.
For a long time, they had used Professor Mohn's photograph and identifying features to publicize the search in various places.
But they had eventually stopped.
After all, there had never been any news.
Now that Lusamine and the others had confirmed Professor Mohn was not dead, their hopes of finding him had been rekindled.
Above all, Li Wei had ruled out Ultra Space for Lusamine, eliminating that false lead.
Ultra Necrozma had told Li Wei that there were no humans in Ultra Space.
Even if Mohn really had left the Pokémon world through an Ultra Wormhole, he was not in Ultra Space.
Since Mohn was not dead, Lusamine and the others could only assume he was somewhere in the world.
It had to be somewhere rarely visited.
