![]() Olivia is a special case the abruptly serious look she gives you just before the music plays indicates that shes not too happy that you defeated her precious Pokémon earlier and shes feeling just a little vindictive.The Pokemon franchise celebrated its twentieth anniversary earlier this year and did so in a big way. In Sun & Moon, the theme starts out with a few low and ominous bars that slowly build before unexpectedly slamming into something more heart-pounding and serious, implying that despite their good intentions, these people are actually out to get you. The Elite Four tunes usually give off vibes of an upbeat challenge because the tetrads job is to test your skills thus far.Once you say you're going into Po Town, Nanu flat out tells you that if Team Skull kill you, he'll make sure your body gets sent back to your family, which, if he wasn't exaggerating, says a hell of a lot about what Team Skull might have been up to that we didn't hear about or why Po Town was so infamous in the first place.It's also seemingly permanently raining, and the music is an eerie, haunting piano track that sounds like it'd fit more into a Survival Horror game. It's an abandoned town taken over by Team Skull, so all of the buildings are in disarray. A red blood-like substance crawls out of the crater and over some nearby slabs, and the message "THEY ARE COMING" appears twice. A Stonehenge-like monument is blanketed in darkness by a fiery cloud, and a meteor drops right into the middle of it, destroying the monument. The trailer for the Ultra Beasts introduction to the Trading Card Game.Is Ultra Deep Sea some sort of living nest for the Nihilegos and you are in the innards where the heart and lungs are?! music has what sounds like a pulsing heart beat playing throughout. There are also multiple Nihilego just floating about, teleporting in and out of view. It is just very wrong in comparison to the regular landscapes you've seen in Pokémon, and Lillie even mentions that breathing is a little difficult. At one point in the story, the player visits what appears to be the dimension that the Ultra Beasts originate from.The exact depth is of event has fueled immense speculation of what the full outcome was. The Ultra Beasts are implied to have attacked the universe prior to Gen VI off screen, with Anabel falling into the post-gen VI universe muttering about defending the Battle Tower. ![]() And every last one of her Pokemon have hateful expressions on their faces.And her Motherbeast battle theme sounds like a major warning that whatever it is you're facing shouldn't have existed.The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You, it seems. She tosses a Poke Ball as normal, but then suddenly rushes at the screen without warning, and you get a good look at the completely nightmarish expression on her face before the screen cuts to the battle. Which is then topped off by her battle intro.Then the camera pans up her body as she hisses at the screen, and zooms out to reveal her in all her glory. It then shows two gelatinous, taloned arms emerging from offscreen, each with vertically aligned, eyes on the hands, then shows her face in profile her green eyes are now a bright yellow, her hair has turned completely black with blond streaks, and her skin paler than usual, and she appears to be within a transparent dome. The camera then cuts to part of a black, blobby mass expanding from the corner of the screen. She releases a Nihilego from the Beast Ball, which slowly caves down upon her as the screen fades to black. The buildup to her transformation into her Motherbeast form.It's treated as akin to Demonic Possession, albeit without any direct control on the part of the Nihilego. When Guzma realizes that Lusamine has gone too far and at one point experiencing a Nihilego momentarily infecting him.Her Battle theme is elegant, yes, but at the same time is like an instrumental Sanity Slippage Song.A comparatively mundane point: all those Pokemon frozen in her trophy room to preserve their beauty.She's also an incredibly chilling and realistic depiction of an abusive sociopath for this franchise. The real Lusamine is a deranged, psychopathic Yandere who is so obsessed with the Ultra Beasts that she is more than willing to destroy the world (or at the very least severely damage it) in order to live out her twisted fantasies with them. Lusamine as a kindly woman who genuinely wants to help Pokémon? It was all an act. The villain of Sun and Moon's true colours.
