    Gonna go out on a limb and say that the last late game twist is she's secretly super ultra mega giga destroy-the-world evil.

    That seems to be the general consensus, and that all those "research projects" are actually a bunch of experiments being conducted on pokemon for whatever she's planning.

    Gladion is definitely her brother soo, I'm also leaning towards, "late game a secret evil plot is revealed!" scenario.

    It's so obvious given how the other 2 subbosses also consisted of a mad scientist-man and a woman literally named "Wicke(d)".

    Though I have some weird hunch that Gamefreak will throw a curveball and have them be the same old boring good guys. Because bad guy conspiracy twists wouldn't be safe for kids.

    I'm afraid so but one can dream (or hope some really, really good fanfic writer will take up the challenge). Still, I can understand the theories that are flying around, with the batch of newest reveals, the similarity between Gladion, Lusamine and Lillie, and the apparent image of purity of Aether Foundation (even some environments with a clean, Applestore-like design).
