After Lillie and Kukui describe the functions of Rotom Dex, Hau comes into the Pokémon Research Lab and the three learn more about theirisland challenge. Elio then sets out to Alola'sTrainers' School with Lillie, who helps helps care for and teach Elio about his Pokémon. Elio gets called to the principal's office (to which Lillie and Rotom jokingly tease him for) and graduates from the school. Elio begins walking toHau'oli City with his new friends, discussing island life and the upcoming city. As soon as they get to the new city, the three explore the island, and Hau drags Elio to the tourist bureau to upgrade Rotom Dex. After which, Elio takes a group picture with Hau and Lillie using the new function. While on his island challenge through Melemele, Elio runs into the troublesomeTeam Skull, a group of hooligans harassing people and interfering with the island life.

Along the way, Elio visitsRoyal Avenue, where he meets withHapu, a young Pokémon Trainer going on a small journey herself andThe Masked Royal, a masked wrestler who shows her how to perform inBattle Royals at theBattle Royal Dome, as well asColress, a scientist, onRoute 8.

Noticing his Z-Ring, Guzma picks a fight with Elio and shows him his strength. Elio regroups with Hau and travels down toTapu Village to stay atAether House. Along the way, they run into Gladion once more, aggressively telling the two to protect Cosmog at all costs if they know anything about it. Lillie gets attacked by aTeam Skull Grunt after breaking away from Acerola and Hapu, to which Elio jumps in and protects the young lady. After finishing his sixth trial with Acerola, Elio sets out toPo Town, Team Skull's base, to rescue aYungoos who was living at the orphanage. This turns out to be a scheme conducted by Team Skull's AdminPlumeria, who Elio has fought before, kidnapping Lillie and Nebby and brings them to Aether Paradise. Overhearing the conversation, Gladion forces Elio and Hau to come with him to the facility with certain that Lillie is there.
Rescue at Aether Paradise
The now hostile Aether Foundation attempts to prevent the group from finding out about information on Cosmog and Lillie. Elio goes to Aether's Secret Lab B, and learns more about Cosmog, it's origins, and professorMohn. Regrouping with Hau and Gladion, Elio takes down Team Skull and rematching their leader once more before reaching the mansion where Lillie and Lusamine are kept. Elio finds out that the President of the Aether Foundation, is in fact the mother of both Lillie and Gladion; and has an obsession with Ultra Beasts. Lillie insists to her mother that Nebby willdie if their power is misused. It is revealed Lusamine had ended up kidnapping Nebby, containing the Pokémon in a cage and been using its powers to unleash hordes of Ultra Beasts across the Alola region, ending with both her and Guzma traveling toUltra Space after a battle. This process has caused Nebby toevolve intoCosmoem (although none of them seem to be aware of this). Under the guidance of Wicke, they stay at Aether Paradise for the night and the next day the group splits off, with Gladion giving Lillie theMoon FluteS/Sun FluteM.
Poni Island
With newfound courage, Elio and Lillie travel toPoni Island'sSeafolk Village to search for a way to find Lusamine and save Nebby. The two meet up with Hapu for the third time, and brings them to theRuins of Hope, watching her become the kahuna of Poni Island.

Nebby takes them toUltra Space and Elio confronts and defeats Lusamine, who berates him for helping and befriending Lillie. After a final showdown against the Lusamine-Nihilego fusion, they're brought back to Alola by Nebby.
Ending

Aftercatching Nebby, Elio is brought back to Tapu Village byNanu and climbs to the summit ofMount Lanakila to take on Alola's newly established Pokémon League andElite Four. His strength is tested by both Hau and Gladion, with words of good luck from Lillie before hand. After defeating the Elite Four, Elio is challenged by one person, the League's founder, Professor Kukui, ending in a win for Elio who is then declared as the first-everChampion of Alola. During the subsequent celebration inIki Town, Lillie takes Elio to theRuins of Conflict, where the newly crowned Champion faces Tapu Koko in battle in thanks for saving him and Nebby on Mahalo Trail. Lillie and Elio are then brought back to the festival and enjoy themselves. Lillie intends to tell Elio something, but gets stopped.

After seeing his friend leave, Professor Kukui brings Elio back home.

The contents of this package include the photo (among many others) that Elio, Hau and Lillie took at Hau'oli City; Elio's trial amulet, and a letter to Lillie. A quote, "Everyone's smiles shine so brightly. Those smiles led us to so many other people. And those meetings will lead us to a bright future. I'm so glad I got to meet everyone. I'm so glad I got to meet you." is displayed over an image of Lillie and Nebby before this sequence, it can be assumed that she is either talking about the player or Nebby. It is implied that Elio had taken all the other pictures found in the package.

Background and pre-game
Like in the original Sun and Moon games, Elio is an 11-year-old boy who moved from Kanto to Alola with his mother. Sometime before his move to Alola, he has metLt. Surge, theGym Leader ofVermilion City, and got a signedAutograph from him. He put this autograph on a pedestal in his room.
During his travels, Elio encounters a group of strange pale people known as theUltra Recon Squad, who are later revealed to be working with the Aether Foundation. When Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped, Elio follows them and finds out that Lillie's mother, Lusamine, is seeking to travel to Ultra Recon Squad's home world to stop a Pokémon known asNecrozma before it can threaten Alola. He successfully uses Nebby's powers to travel to this alternate world, leaving Lillie and Elio to figure out how to follow her. They travel to Poni Island and perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the Legendary Pokémon SolgaleoUS or LunalaUM. However, before Elio and Lillie can go after Lusamine, she's suddenly thrown out of an Ultra Wormhole before them, followed by Necrozma. Necrozma proceeds to battle and absorb Nebby, before traveling back to Ultra Space. With the Ultra Recon Squad's help, Elio travels to their home world ofUltra Megalopolis, where he defeats Necrozma once again and saves Nebby.
After completing his last island challenge trial, Elio climbs Mount Lanakila to reach the newly established Pokémon League at its summit, re-encountering Necrozma along the way. After Elio has defeated the brand-new Alola Elite Four, Professor Kukui arrives and presents Hau as his final challenge before he can claim the championship. Elio successfully defeats Hau one last time, making him the first Champion of Alola.
Later, Elio assists the Ultra Recon Squad in catching some Ultra Beasts roaming around Poni Island. But no sooner has he returned home that he learns of an evil organization calledTeam Rainbow Rocket appearing in the region.
