Removing the alchemy references, adding some old information on the page about the relationships theme so it's not barren. (Removing the alchemy speculation was endorsed by Jr Admin celadonk, I've just finally got the time to actually do it lol)

-The seventh generation focuses on themes of nature, alternate dimensions, tradition, and relationships. This generation's starter Pokémon and main legendary trio designs and inspirations are heavily based on alchemical symbols and imagery. {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, and {{p|Popplio}}'s designs are based on the alchemical symbols for salt (body), sulfur (spirit), and mercury (mind), respectively and the later evolutions also seeming to based on symbol variants or other alchemical symbols. The legendary trio is mainly based on celestial bodies while taking influences from alchemical imagery, specifically the Azoth Mandala: {{p|Solgaleo}} takes inspiration from the {{wp|Suns in alchemy|alchemical lion}} and the Sun, which represents "anima" or "soul"; {{p|Lunala}} is based on the Moon, which represents "spiritus" or "spirit"; and {{p|Necrozma}} is based on the stars and prisms, which represents "corpus" or "body". The [[Aether Foundation]]'s name is also derived from the fifth alchemical element, {{wp|Aether (classical element)|aether}}.
+The seventh generation focuses on themes of nature, alternate dimensions, tradition, and relationships. First and foremost, [[Z-Moves]] are said to be the physical manifestation of the bond between Trainer and Pokémon, in a similar vein to [[Mega Evolution]]. The storylines of the Alolan games also focus various characters whose motives and story arcs revolve around family- or relationship-based issues. The Aether Foundation is an organization that wishes to heal and protect Pokémon from threats such as [[Team Skull]] or predatory Pokémon like {{p|Mareanie}}. In fact, the Alolan Pokédex is filled with more examples of Pokémon predator-prey relationships than usual. In an [http://time.com/4536438/pokemon-sun-moon-interview interview] with Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori, {{g|Sun and Moon|s}} were named with the idea of the revolutions of the sun and the moon in mind, and how they influence life on the Earth, as a way to "celebrate life" and express Pokémon as living creatures. In the same interview, they mention the revolutions of the celestial bodies as being an interesting metaphor for relationships.
