Lusamine Hidaka

Lusamine 'Ainakea Hidaka is from Hau'oli City on Melemele Island in the Alola region. She's the mother of Lillie Hidaka and Gladion Hidaka, and the former wife of Mohn Hidaka.

Background
Lusamine and her husband, Mohn, cared for their children, Lillie and Gladion, in Hau'oli City. She saw how close Lillie and Gladion were as brother and sister. However, as time went by, Gladion listened to Lusamine less and less, even rebelling against her at times. She witnessed the wrong crowds Gladion was surrounding himself with.

One day, Lusamine and Mohn were approached by a melancholy Lillie. She explained to them that their son, Gladion, was gone to join the Tekiyoku. They were saddened by this news and the loss of their son, but knew they couldn't do anything to get him back. Life continued as normal.

Over 2 years later, Lusamine was at work one day. She came back to a horrific scene as she saw Lillie outside with tears in her eyes over a dead body belonging to Lusamine's husband, Mohn. Lillie explained that he was killed by Gladion.

Some time after this, both Lusamine and Lillie have managed to forgive Gladion and want him to return home.

Present
Lusamine hasn't debuted yet. She's been mentioned by Lillie in Episode 32 when she was telling the deepest parts of her backstory to Ash. Lillie told how Lusamine was at work on the day her husband, Mohn, was murdered by Gladion. Lillie also mentioned how she and Lusamine have since forgiven Gladion for this and just want him to come home.

In Episode 35, she still hasn't debuted yet, but it was told that she was on a video-call with Lillie. Lillie asked her if it was okay to have her friends and the Mokusetsu members stay over for the night. Lusamine told her she wouldn't be home that night, but that it was perfectly fine to have them come over. Apparently, anytime Lillie previously had friends over, Lusamine would host the night to take pressure off of Lillie, but this time, Lillie would have to do everything herself, which made Lillie a bit more nervous.

In Episode 36, Lusamine yet again has not debuted, but it's mentioned that was on a video call with Lillie, Ash, Dawn, Lana and Mallow where she was debriefed on everything currently happening with Division A of the Mokusetsu. She still can't come home yet (due to the travels required of her marketing company), but approves of everything they're doing and wishes them the best of luck.
