#kaguya is honestly kind of the equivalent of dropping a supersoldier in interpol's lap tbh

Meta - PKMN - Interpol.

Formally, the division Kaguya belongs to within the Interpol is named the Legendary Phenomenon Division. It was officially formed some time following the events of SwSh—after which it became abundantly clear that the standard divisions dealing with organized crime was simply not cutting it, and the manipulation, abuse, and sometimes even mere existence of certain Legendary Pokémon (cough Eternatus) posed a very real existential threat to the world. Their primary purpose is to keep tabs on known (and unknown, publically) Legendary Pokémon, the people (protagonists) who may or may not capture or otherwise interact with them, and potential threats posed to or by them. Most of this division is made up of an internal research team, but there are a small handful of special field agents, like Kaguya, who must fulfill a generally very high standard of fitness and, more critically, skill. Why?

Well, the fact that internally, it's been nicknamed the godkiller division probably gives you a hint. Field Agents, at least "special" field agents, like Kaguya, need to be equipped to be able to "handle" threats should they arise, even if that is sort of the worst-case scenario.

Unsurprisingly, there's significant overlap between Legendary Phenomenons and the UB divisions. Given Kaguya is, technically, a Faller, she likely would've been put on the UB division like Anabel if not for the fact that 1. UBs are considerably less of an active concern now that the Situation in Alola has had time to return to (semi) normal and 2. she's kind of the ideal candidate for the so-called godkiller division.

Likewise, they still work pretty closely with the Organized Crime division, as you would expect, though largely in the way of supplying information more than any direct interaction between agents. (Think of it like this: if Organized Crime shows up at the Galactic HQ, then Legendary Phenomenon would be the ones to go to Spear Pillar.)

As far as being in Interpol goes, Kaguya.... is ultimately pretty neutral on it. She wasn't really given much of a choice in the matter given she is, uh, a really weird Faller case. And weighing the options, the promise of a job and a proper introduction to this world was definitely a better option than winging it on her own when she didn't even know what the fuck an Altaria was. (Sidebar: she's still terrible at identifying most pokemon. Like, idk, it's some kind of fucken bird...........) She is a bit miffed on a more impersonal level about the circumstances just generally kind of sucking (she is doomed to an eternity of being a gd adventurer when all she wants is to RELAX for like FIVE FUCKING MINUTES), but she tries not to let it bother her that much.
