Axel Bio

	Founded in Alola and expanding across several regions, Aether Foundation is a haven for pokemon and people alike. Even after an incident involving the president, the company stands strong as her son has taken over. For some, it’s a place where they can take care of pokemon that need help. For others, it’s a place where they can do research on the mysteries of the world. Easily identifiable by their uniforms, old people think they’re good people doing a good thing, while many younger people wonder if it’s a cult.

	Meet Axel, a young adult who loves bird pokemon. He has travelled the world finding as many different species of birds and building a team that exemplifies the birds of the world. He joined the Foundation’s Kantonian branch to do what he loves. He started to use his free time researching the legendary birds that make their home across the country. His research has gotten the attention of certain “clients” who want one of the legendary birds for themselves. This isn’t a rare phenomenon, people with money and desire a pokemon for battling or collecting often turn to the Aether Foundation. In response, some employees use it as a side jig for extra money, and Axel is one of those employees.

	Axel has his own code when it comes to his clients. He only deals with younger birds that have already fledged and can live on their own. He values sustainability above all else and wants adult birds to be out in the wild so they can reproduce. Second of all, Axel likes to play “games” with his clients, Namely poker or chess. These games are not a measure of winning or losing, but so Axel can understand the thought processes of his clients.

	Outside of taking care of pokemon and dealing with his clients, Axel also studies Ultra Wormholes. In the past he’s had some unusual occurrences of being travelled across space and time and since then he’s tried to understand if those occurrences involved Ultra Wormholes. According to his own coworkers he mostly works alone and doesn’t walk much, even during office parties.

	Eventually, Axel would like to make enough money to move out to one of the regions in the west. Namely either Kalos, Galar, or Paldea as those regions are home to a different set of legendary birds that are very similar to the ones he knows in Kanto. Aside from that, he’d like to meet as many birds of legends that exist. That includes Ho-oh, Lugia, Cresselia and Tornadus.
