Gladion's perspective
I can't stop thinking about what Moon told me... does my mom really want to apologize? It's not that I distrust Moon... I just distrust my mother. She could have lied, or told half truths, or...
I won't know until I try.

Narrator's Perspective
Knock knock
"One second!" the busy lady called. A second later she opened the door with a smile that quickly turned to a shocked expression. "Gl-Gladion?! What... are you here for?" Lusamine asked. "You shouldn't be so shocked. You asked Moon to send me here, right?" Gladion retorted, avoiding eye contact and entering her office. Lusamine didnt think of it as 'asking moon to send him here' but she knew it'd be better not to argue. "Umm... Feel free to take a seat..." Lusamine mumbled. Gladion oblidged. "I just... I wanted to..." She stuttered. It was easier apologizing to Lillie and Moon because they were so kind with her. On the other hand, Gladion was cold as ice towards his mother. Lusamine gulped and uttered "I want to apologize for everything I did."
Gladion's fist tightened. "Of course you do." he said with a Grim tone. Lusamine attempted to continue "I know you have no reason to forgi-" "No. I don't have a reason to forgive you." Gladion interrupted. His eyes started to tear up, so he closed them tight. "I'm not the one you need to apologize to" he continued. "I've already talked with Lillie and Moon-" "I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THEM!" Gladion yelled throwing Silvally's Pokeball. A bright light filled the room as Silvally cried. "Is that... the Type:Full you took?" Lusamine asked walking towards it. "It's name is Silvally. Apologize to it." Gladion directed. Lusamine kneeled in front of the creature hesitantly. "Silvally?" she started. It's head pirked up. "I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry we did so many experiments on you... and on so many other pokemon." she apologized, looking in the creature's eyes. It smiled as it was called back into the pokeball. Gladion was standing and looked at Lusamine. This was the first time he took a good look at her since she came back. She was wearing the same clothes and her hair looked the same but... she looked different somehow. "Why?" Gladion asked. Lusamine looked up. "Why did you open the Ultra Wormhole?" he continued. "I... I was blinded by my obsession with the beast. I wanted to see it again by any means necessary... I... I went insane, to put it simply." Gladion was suprised by Lusamine's answer. She didn't try to defend her actions, she obviously regrets them. "I'm so sorry..." she looks down as she starts to cry. Gladion never thought he would feel bad for her mother again but... here he was.
Gladion reached his arm out for Lusamine.
