Walkthrough:Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon/Part 3
These pages follow the enhanced versions, not Pokémon Sun and Moon. The guide for those games can be found here.
Route 2

Route 2 runs from Hau'oli City in the south up to Route 3 in the north, with Big Wave Beach branching off to the west and Hau'oli Cemetery and the Berry fields sitting to the east. A motel stands near the southern end of the route, and Team Skull Boss Guzma's house is just past it, though the man inside says he has not seen his son in some time. A Pokémon Center marks the northern end, where a barricade currently blocks the way to Verdant Cavern until you clear Ilima's trial.

The moment you step into the first patch of tall grass, an Ekans lunges out at you.
Before you can get much farther north, a Crabrawler blocks you and forces you toward Big Wave Beach to the west.
Hau'oli Cemetery

East of the motel lies Hau'oli Cemetery, the resting place for people and Pokémon from across Melemele Island. Its long-standing ties to the dead have drawn in several kinds of Ghost Pokémon, and a few of the mourners wandering the grounds are Trainers looking to battle away their grief.

Big Wave Beach

Big Wave Beach is a stretch of sand west of Route 2 known for its Mantine Surf, which you can't partake in now. As you try to exit the area, pair of Team Skull Grunts are harassing the Mantine Surf attendant here. Talk to them to challenge one of them.

Defeating the Grunt frees the Crabrawler, and the attendant thanks you with a Fresh Water. A woman and a Move Tutor here trade for Battle Points, which is worth remembering once you start earning some.

With the Grunt gone, you are free to head back to Route 2 and continue north.
Berry Fields

The Berry fields sit farther east, though no Berries actually grow there. The current owners moved to Alola from Camphrier Town in Kalos hoping to promote fertilizer for growing Berries, only to find that Alola's climate lets Berries thrive without any help at all. Several Delibird wander the farm, making deliveries in the owners' place.

Verdant Cavern

Verdant Cavern sits at the northeast end of Route 2. Ilima is waiting outside, and warns that the Pokémon inside are fierce, suggesting you stock up on Potions before heading in. Once you enter, you cannot leave until the trial is finished, and wild Pokémon inside cannot be caught.
Ilima explains the goal: defeat three Pokémon lurking in the cave's dens, then reach the pedestal beyond them to claim a Z-Crystal. A loud noise echoes from somewhere deep in the cave, and Ilima warns you that a Totem Pokémon, far stronger than the rest, is waiting at the end.
The first two dens sit along the early part of the path, each holding a Pokémon that attacks as soon as you inspect the den.
Pokémon Ultra Sun
Pokémon Ultra Moon
Along the way you can pick up a couple of Super Potions, a hidden Revive tucked behind a mossy rock, TM31 (Brick Break) on a ledge overlooking the entrance, and an X Defense on the cave's west side.
A third den looks empty at first, but the Pokémon inside is only hiding. It pops out of a den on the upper level, then vanishes into another one to the west, and finally reappears back at the very first den. Crossing back over the wooden bridge, you run into the same two Team Skull Grunts from Big Wave Beach, here to disrupt your trial. Defeat the first Grunt and his Drowzee, and out of spite, the pair block off two of the remaining dens instead of retreating.
Their interference unwittingly corners the last Pokémon in the one den left open, letting you finish the trial's third battle right where you started.
VS Totem Gumshoos / Totem Raticate
Climbing the hill beyond the dens, you reach the Totem's Den, where a Z-Crystal sits glittering on a pedestal. As you reach for it, a piercing gaze stops you cold: the Totem Pokémon attacks, surrounded by an aura that raises its Defense. It calls in an ally on the first turn, which cannot be summoned again once defeated.

Defeating the Totem Pokémon and its ally brings Ilima to congratulate you. He hands over the Normalium Z, teaches you the pose for Breakneck Blitz, gives you ten Great Balls, and heals your team before opening the barricade back on Route 2 so you can continue toward Route 3.
With this first trial cleared, wild Pokémon can now call an ally for help mid-battle, turning a Single Battle into an SOS Battle.
Kukui catches up just outside the cave, having spotted your new Z-Crystal, and gives you a quick tutorial on Z-Moves using his Rockruff. A Z-Crystal held by a Pokémon upgrades any move of the matching type. Normalium Z turns damaging Normal moves into Breakneck Blitz and boosts a stat on most Status moves instead. Z-Power can only be used once per battle.
Kukui suddenly remembers he lost track of Lillie somewhere on Route 3, and asks for your help finding her.
