Operation: Aether (Aureliashipping Variant)

Chapter 1: Catching Familiar Faces!

"She's so kind and smart and thoughtful, and she never gives up no matter what. She's pretty awesome!", Ash says, "You and her would be really good friends if you two met honestly!"

Chloe nods in agreement

"So...", Chloe asks, "what are you gonna do the next time you see her? Are you going to confess?"

"Well...", Ash says, "I do have some ideas for what we can do when she comes back to Alola! I'd love to just spend a day with her..."

"Well, if you need any help or advice, I'm always available!", Chloe said

"Thanks!", Ash says with an right smile

"Hey, guys!", Goh says, having just come into the area, "The professor wants to see us."

Ash, Goh, and Chloe are called to Professor Cerise's lab

"Hey professor!", Ash says, "What are we doing today?"

"Yeah!", Goh says excitedly, "Are we going to catch some new Pokémon?"

"Perhaps...", the professor says, as he points to the screen, depicting a snowy landscape

"In the Galar region, there's a place known as the Crown Tundra!", the professor says, "And in this Tundra, there are some incredibly interesting Pokémon!"

The screen then depicts an ancient art of a Pokémon, one who seemed to ride upon two other Pokémon and has a really big head

"Wow!", Chloe says, "What is that?"

The professor takes a curious look at his daughter, picking up on her curiosity on a new Pokémon

"This Pokémon is, according to legend, known as the King of the Harvest!", the Professor says, "Not much is known about it, and the time of year for the harvest in the Crown Tundra is almost upon us!"

"I want you three to gather as much data on this Pokémon as you can!", the Professor says excitedly

"Y-yes sir!", Goh said with excitement

"You can count on us!", Ash remarked

Goh then looked at Chloe, who was preparing to walk out of the room with her Eevee

Goh then grabs her hand and asked "Hey Chloe, do you wanna come with us?"

Chloe, surprised by this, blushes a bit, but agrees to come along for the journey

"Crown Tundra, here we come!", Ash yells in excitement

We then cut to a sea of ice, where a ferry is traveling through. We then see the Aether family in a room, watching a young lady is playing the piano

She plays the piano, with her Alolan Vulpix, Snowy, right by her side, reminiscing on when she was a baby and her father, Mohn, played a song in front of her

"Father...", Lillie says to herself in her head, smiling as she goes, "perhaps someday you'll play this song for me again."

Magearna then goes over to the window, and points a laser in a direction

"The laser!", Lillie's brother, Gladion, pointed out, "It's happening again!"

Their mother, Lusamine, grabs the map and hands it to Gladion. Gladion determines that the laser was pointing to a place called the Crown Tundra

"Kids, grab your things!", Lusamine says, with determination in her eyes, "It's time we found your father once and for all!"

Lillie and Gladion nod in agreement, heading to their rooms and grabbing their things
