The episode revolves around Looker and the player the Ultra Beasts that have swarmed Alola after Lusamine had opened multiple Ultra Wormholes during the main story.
Plot
The day after the player says goodbye to Lillie as she leaves for Kanto, they are met with a goodmorning and chat with their mother, and their friend, Hau. The two leave the player's house and the player is met with a mysterious old man who asking for their name. The old man says he was sent by a group to give them an Enigmatic Card The man runs off, telling the player that they should be careful where they read the invitation, and that nobody should know of him or the card. The card tells the player to visit the motel on Route 8 on Akala Island, directing them for their first mission.
The player makes their way to Route 5, and inside the motel's guest room, they are met with two strangers, two members of the International Police. The man, who was previously in disguise as the old man, goes by the name of Looker is accompanied by his boss, Anabel, who is the head of a secret division within the International Police known as the UB Task Force. Looker asks the player about their history of UB Symbiont, also known as the Ultra Beast called Nihilego, and if they have ever come into contact with one. After Looker and Anabel appear startled for hearing that they had beaten Nihilego, they reveal that Lusamine had released more Ultra Beasts into Alola during temporary opening of Ultra Wormholes, and that Nihilego is only one of many. Among the many other Ultra Beasts, there is also more Nihilego found throughout Alola who could cause harm to the region and its ecosystem. The Ultra Beasts not only pose a threat to Alola, but to themselves as well, as they were put into the region against their own will and appear to be on high alert. The UB Task Force is tasked with three objectives: study the ecology of the Ultra Beasts, protect any people from harm of the Ultra Beasts, and to either protect the Ultra Beasts or destroy them. Looker and Anabel wish to avoid killing any Ultra Beasts themselves, knowing that they are living creatures themselves, but would be high risk knowing their dangerous tendencies and that catching them is easier said than done. They also lack the ability to battle the UBs, so they have come to ask Alola's champion, the player, if they could help with secluding the Ultra Beasts, and join the UB Task Force. The player accepts, and as a test of skill, is challenged by Anabel in battle.
In order to grab more information on Ultra Beasts, the player is tasked to go to the secret laboratories of Aether Paradise and speak with the Aether Foundation's vice-chief, Wicke. At Aether Paradise, Wicke is waiting for the player to arrive. She is very appreciative of what the player has done for Lillie and Lusamine and explains their reason to travel to Kanto. Apologizing for going off about Lillie's family, she gives the player two Big Malasadas directs the player to Secret Lab B, where testing on Cosmog and UBs were done. The information she shares to the player is strictly confidential and only them and the International Police are to know about what is given. Wicke awards the player with 1o Beast Balls, a special kind of Poké Ball created by the Aether Foundation in secrecy in order to catch Ultra Beasts. As is the fault of the Aether Foundation, Wicke will be helping the player on granting more Beast Balls through out the plot, as well as providing the information necessary on any Ultra Beasts. Wicke tells the player to visit Anabel at the Akala Island motel on Route 8.

Mission Start
Anabel welcomes the player back from their visit from Aether Paradise, only for Looker to appear, speaking of disaster in Spanish. Apologizing for his habit, Looker explains that a new sighting of UB-01 Symbiont, also known as Nihilego has been spotted on the very island they are on: Akala Island. Anabel leaves to protect the people on the island and the player secures the Ultra Beast while Lookers as stays for potential backup. Looker can explain any information on Symbiont to the player before they act on fighting the Ultra Beast. Nihilego is known as a terrifying beast that preys on both people and Pokémon, however there is only one sighting of the Pokémon found in two different locations: either at Wela Volcano Park or Diglett's Tunnel. The player leaves to go to either location and manages to catch the Nihilego that was reported and relays the success on capture to Looker. The information is sent back to the International Police HQ and to Wicke. Looker wishes for celebration for the player's arrival to their team and the success on catching Nihilego, suggesting they go out to dinner at one of Akala's restaurants and leaves to ask about the delivery. As Looker is gone, Anabel provides context that the Ultra Beast obtained would have been sent back to HQ, but it's better that the Pokémon remains in the player's care, wishing that Nihilego wouldn't be subjugated to awful experiments. Looker returns, yelling about another catastrophe, this time, in French. The disaster, another UB sighting, is found on Melemele Island and any plans at the restaurant have been cancelled.

The Relationship Between the Two
The group sets out to the motel on Melemele's Route 2. Looker goes out to gather information on the upcoming Ultra Beast, while Anabel stays behind, expecting a visitor that has knowledge of second Ultra Beast. Kahuna Nanu enters the room unexpected, who Anabel has had previous encounters with before, and the one who had contacted the International Police about their next target. He's heard of rumors of an Ultra Beast known as AbsorptionS/BeautyM by the International Police. In Pokémon Sun, two of these specimen are found in Melemele Meadow, while in Pokémon Moon, four of them are found in Verdant Cavern. Anabel is shocked that Nanu knows of the police's code names. Nanu leaves the building telling them not to worry about it. Anabel explains that Nanu once worked for the International Police as her superior and that he is correct with the information. Looker comes back interrupting the discussion with more Spanish, worried about another disaster, another UB found on Melemele Island. Looker claims that it may be Absorption/Beauty, describing the creature's unique body structure/speed and the amount spotted, the same Nanu had previously reported. Anabel and the player leave the motel with the same jobs that they had used to acquire Nihilego, with the player being sent out to capture the UB. Looker wishes to help but he lacks a partner Pokémon to carry out the task (implying that Looker does not have the Croagunk that he had in previous titles) so Anabel wishes for him to stay behind once again in case back up is needed. Anabel leaves, and Looker provides the player with 10 more Beast Balls on behalf of Wicke. Additionally, if the player wishes to learn more about Nihilego, they can talk to Wicke for more information. Looker can also provide more information on this mission's current UB encounters, describing the Ultra Beasts as the Pokémon known as BuzzwoleS/PheromosaM.
