The Aether Foundation (Japanese: エーテル財団 Aether Foundation) is an organization based in the Alola region whose goal is to cure hurt Pokémon. The organization shelters Pokémon to keep them safe from threats like Team Skull. Their headquarters is Aether Paradise, an artificial island they constructed. Although a benevolent organization at first, during the course of the games they reveal themselves as the true villainous team of the Alola region.
Leadership
The Aether Foundation's president is Lusamine, who wants to share her love with all of the rescued Pokémon. She is assisted by Faba, the Aether Foundation's second-in-command and Aether Foundation branch chief, and Wicke, the assistant branch chief of Aether Paradise.
The foundation also employs other people, who go out into the field to protect and rescue Pokémon in trouble.
Research
The foundation is conducting research on Ultra Beasts, and has given each of them a code name, such as UB-01 and UB-02 Absorption or Beauty. They are also aware of the existence of the rare and unusual Cosmog and are conducting research on it. One of the professors in Aether Foundation was the one who named the Nebula Pokémon Cosmog. At some point they also worked on genetical experiments, using several DNA samples from Pokémon of different Types, in order to create Type: Null (named Type: Full at the time) whose purpose was to battle the Ultra Beasts. Upon several tries they were unable to perfect the RKS System and the Type: Full samples became more and more uncontrollable, so the project was ultimately scrapped, the samples put on cryogenic suspension and renamed "Type: Null".
Base
Aether Paradise is a privately owned artificial island that was built in the middle of the Alola region by the Aether Foundation. The foundation uses it both as a sanctuary and a research facility.
