The true origin of this Pokémon remains a mystery to Kai, as he continues his journey to discover the truth about his sister’s disappearance.

6. Pheromosa (Tala) - Origin: Tala, as her connection to Pheromosa, was created by fusing human cells and Pheromosa genes as part of the Project Infinity experiment.

He is highly respected in his field and known for his groundbreaking research on Ultra Beasts. However, his work also consumes much of his time and attention, leaving little room for his family. He is haunted by the loss of his daughter and driven by a desire to bring her back to life, which has led him down a dark path.

Background: Kaikane was once a loving husband and father, but the death of his daughter Keola shattered his family and changed his life forever. He turned to his work at the Aether Foundation as a way to cope with his grief and guilt, and became obsessed with finding a way to bring Keola back to life. His experiments on his daughter’s body have led to the creation of biological weapons, and he has become increasingly isolated from the outside world.

Relationships: Kaikane has a strained relationship with his son Kai, as he is rarely home and often neglects his parental duties. He also has a complicated relationship with his wife, who left home after suffering a nervous breakdown. His only real connection is with his work and his experiments on his daughter’s body.

Motivations: Kaikane’s main motivation is to bring his daughter back to life, no matter the cost. He is driven by guilt and a sense of responsibility for her death, and will stop at nothing to find a way to resurrect her. However, his obsession has led him down a dark path and there is no telling where it will lead.

Secrets: Kaikane is keeping a dark secret from his son Kai - that his daughter Keola has been brought back to life as a Poipole through his experiments. He is also hiding the fact that he has created biological weapons using her cells, and is willing to sacrifice everything for his research.


Name: Keola (Subject 09)

Age: Physically remains 12 (time of her death)

Appearance: Keola, prior to her transformation, had shoulder-length brown hair and gentle brown eyes. Since her resurrection as a Poipole, she has the appearance of the Pokémon itself, with a round purple body, large round eyes, and long tentacle-like arms. Her true human appearance is only known to her father, Kaikane, and a select few who are aware of her existence.

Personality: While Keola was once a kind-hearted and compassionate young girl who loved her family dearly and enjoyed spending time with her brother, she currently remains in a dormant state with her consciousness suppressed. Should she ever awaken, she may bear the emotional scars from her transformation and struggle to reconcile her new existence as a Poipole.

Background: Keola was once a normal human girl, living a happy life with her family. She was close with her brother Kai, but sadly passed away from leukemia. Driven by grief and guilt, her father Kaikane conducted a secret experiment to try and bring her back to life by implanting Naganadel’s cells into her body. This caused Keola to lose her human form and become a Poipole. She currently remains unconscious and dormant in an incubator filled with artificial amniotic fluid.

Relationships: Keola’s closest relationships were with her family, particularly her brother Kai. Before her death, they were incredibly close and enjoyed spending time together. She currently remains dormant and hidden from her brother and the rest of her family. Her only known “relationship” in her current state is with her father Kaikane, who is responsible for her transformation into a Poipole.

Motivations: In her current state, Keola has no motivations due to her suppressed consciousness. However, should she ever awaken, her primary motivation might be to reconnect with her brother Kai and come to terms with her new existence as a Poipole. She may also desire to put a stop to her father’s dangerous experiments and prevent further harm to others.

Secrets: Keola is currently unaware of her own transformation into a Poipole, as well as the circumstances that led to her resurrection. She does not know about her father’s secret experiments, nor does she know that her brother and others are searching for the truth behind her fate.
