Ryuki debuted inShock!! Father in the Pendant!. He considers himself a battling superstar, so he traveled toAlola in hopes of fighting the powerfulUltra Beasts. He was hired byFaba, who agreed to help Ryuki in exchange for his services. Ryuki was sent toMount Lanakila, where he foundMoon lying unconscious in the snow after she returned to Alola via anUltra Wormhole. He picked the girl up and took her toAether Paradise, where Faba had her locked in a cell.
Moon was later freed byGladion, who teamed up with her to stop Faba. Cornered, Faba tricked Ryuki into helping him by revealingGladion's Silvally was created to defeat the Ultra Beasts. This subsequently prompted Ryuki to battle Gladion and Moon in order to defend his place in the spotlight. After losing his first Pokémon, Ryuki sent out two more, only for Gladion to stop him and call off the battle, revealing Faba was using it as a distraction so he could flee Aether Paradise. After learning that others were fighting the Ultra Beasts elsewhere in Alola, Ryuki ran off to join them.
Months later, Gladion and Dulse set off to rescue Faba, who had been dragged intoUltra Space by severalNihilego. Ryuki chose to accompany them, much to Gladion's annoyance.
