At Aether Paradise, the player and Hau meets the [[Aether Foundation]] President [[Lusamine]] and learn that the company is responsible for making Aether Paradise a sanctuary for abused Pokémon. In the middle of the meeting, a [[Ultra Beast|weird creature]] from [[Ultra Space|another universe]] attacks the player and after a short battle retreats to its own world. Lusamine becomes interested in the odd creature and sends the duo to [[Ula'ula Island]] to complete their island challenge.

On Ula'ula Island, the player prepares for the trials of [[Sophocles]] and [[Acerola]]. While taking these trials, the player learns about a {{al|Pokémon League}} under construction and is challenged to participate in it as soon as the player completes the Island Challenge. After completing the two trials, the player meets the Team Skull leader [[Guzma]] and visits their base at [[Po Town]]. After defeating the team in Po Town, Police officer [[Nanu]] and Acerola thank the player for rescuing a stolen {{p|Yungoos}} and head to the [[Aether House]].

Upon entering the house, Hau tells the player that Team Skull's Admin, [[Plumeria]], kidnapped Lillie and Nebby. Gladion overhears the conversation and demands Hau and the player to travel with him to the ferry terminal for their next destination. Before the trio leave, Nanu challenges the player as an island kahuna. Nanu gives the player another Z-Crystal and asks Gladion what he is depending on Team Skull for before departing. Gladion reveals to the player and Hau that they have to return to Aether Paradise to rescue Lillie and Nebby. Despite the crazy story, the player and Hau tag with Gladion to Aether Paradise.

At Aether Paradise, employees begin to attack the team as they believe they are intruders. They eventually reach Faba, who also hints that there is something unusual about Aether Foundation. After a battle from the player, Faba redirects the trio to the lower level of Aether Paradise, with the trio unaware that it is a trap to buy time. After learning of the trap, they head back up to find Faba, who brought reinforcements to battle them. [[Wicke]] then appears to them and says that Lillie might be with the President, but it would be hard to get to them. Faba then ambushes them again with more employees. The team defeat the employees and Faba again, resulting in Faba giving them access to the president's office.

The next day, Gladion gives Lillie the [[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|M}} and helps the player and Lillie get to the final Island of Alola, [[Poni Island]] and recommends finding the island kahuna. The player and Lillie eventually find Hapu again, who reveals the island has no kahuna. The three then travel to the [[Ruins of Hope]] where {{p|Tapu Fini}} grants Hapu the honor of becoming Poni Island's new kahuna after they both teamed up to battle an Ultra Beast. Hapu then talks about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and how there needs to be a ceremony at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} involving two particular flutes. Lillie shows Hapu the flute Gladion gave her and is told the other flute is on [[Exeggutor Island]]. Lillie and the player then head to Exeggutor Island to obtain Lillie's flute counterpart.

After the player takes the other flute, the player and Lillie return to Poni Island and head to the Altar. On the way to the Altar, they get ambushed by Team Skull. Team Skull battles the player in order to try and get them to talk about where Guzma disappeared to, but Plumeria puts a stop to the battling. Plumeria apologizes for her actions and lets them continue onwards in hopes of rescuing Guzma. Soon after, Hapu challenges the player to a Grand Trial and the player attends another trial in [[Vast Poni Canyon]] soon after. With both trials complete, the player completes the island challenge. The only thing left to do is to rescue Lusamine and Guzma from Ultra Space.

The player and Lillie reach the Altar and both prepare to play their flutes and wait until dawn{{sup/7|S}} or dusk{{sup/7|M}} to summon the Legendary Pokémon. After playing their flutes, an odd power in the Altar forms and takes Lillie's bag to the source of the power. Nebby is taken from the bag and evolves into Solgaleo{{sup/7|S}}/Lunala{{sup/7|M}}. With its new power, Nebby takes Lillie and the player to Ultra Space. The two then run into Guzma, who seems to be possessed by the Ultra Beasts. Lillie continues to find her mother, and soon the two find Lusamine with the mysterious creature, now revealed to be called {{p|Nihilego}}. Lillie again tries convince her mother to return, but Lusamine eventually pushes her daughter's buttons and even calls her ugly. Lusamine calls out a captured Nihilego and merges with it, leaving the player to battle Lusamine until Nebby separates Lusamine and Nihilego from each other. Nebby then grabs the trapped people and brings them to the Altar, where Hapu takes Lusamine and Guzma to safety.

Nebby, still wanting to travel with Lillie and the player, gets rejected by Lillie as she believes that Nebby will not be able to get the adventures it wants with her as she is not a real trainer. Lillie then recommends Nebby should be captured by the player. The player gets into a battle with Nebby and eventually captures it. Lillie is thankful that Nebby will now be taken care of by its new parent and leaves to help out her mother. Nanu then appears at the Altar to let the player know that the next step is to battle all four kahunas in a row. However, with the new {{al|Pokémon League}} opened in [[Mount Lanakila]] on Ula'ula Island, Nanu takes the player there to complete the final trial.

When the player reaches the Pokémon League, Professor Kukui greets the player and gives him the choice to battle the [[Elite Four|four members of the Alola League]] in whatever choice the player decides. The members include island kahunas Hala and Olivia, who use {{t|Fighting}}- and {{t|Rock}} types respectively, Trial Captain Acerola, who uses the {{t|Ghost}} type, and [[Kahili]], a former island challenge champion and golfer who uses the {{t|Flying}} type. After defeating the Elite Four, the player takes a seat in the Champion's chair before Professor Kukui surprises the player with a final battle, which has to be won before the player is officially the {{pkmn|Champion}}. After becoming Champion, the player is invited back to a big festival in Iki Town to celebrate the big accomplishment.

During the festival, Lillie pulls the player to the side and the two revisit the Mahalo Trail and cross a rebuilt Plank Bridge to the [[Ruins of Conflict]], hoping to get congratulated by Tapu Koko for finishing the island challenge. The player touches the statue in the Ruins of Conflict and gives thanks to Tapu Koko. After touching the statue, Tapu Koko challenges the player to a battle, which allows the player to either capture it or show the Guardian Pokémon the power of the new Alola Champion. After the battle, the two return to the festival. Shortly after returning, Lillie tries to tell the player of her next steps, but decides to instead let the player enjoy the rest of the festival.

===Elite Four and Champion===
During the course of the game, Professor Kukui wishes for the Alola region to have it's own Pokémon League after seeing and challenging Kanto's Pokémon League. The Alola League is completed right after the player completes all the trials of the four islands. The Elite Four can be battled in any order like previous games. The Elite Four members are [[Hala]] ({{t|Fighting}}){{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|M}}/[[Molayne]] ({{t|Steel}}){{sup/7|US}}{{sup/7|UM}}, [[Olivia]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Acerola]] ({{t|Ghost}}), and [[Kahili]] ({{t|Flying}}). As the Pokémon League was just founded, it doesn't have a reigning Champion. Instead the player battles [[Professor Kukui]]{{sup/7|SM}}/[[Hau]]{{sup/7|USUM}} instead.
