The next day, Kukui stops by the player's house again and takes him to {{rt|1|Alola}} so he can teach him/her how to catch Pokémon. Kukui then lets the player train before going to the festival. Before reaching the festival, the player runs into the [[Ultra Recon Squad|alien-looking people]] who seem preoccupied by auras surrounding Iki Town. They briefly talk to the player before leaving.

At the festival, Hala and Kukui reveal that it is an event where Pokémon battles are held in honor of the [[Guardian deities|Guardian Pokémon]] in Alola. Hau and the player battle once again in honor of Tapu Koko, and this time the entire town watches, including Lillie, the player's mother and Meowth. After Tapu Koko approves of the battling, Hala returns the sparkling stone, which is now converted into a [[Z-Ring]]. Hala explains the Z-Ring's powers and the [[Z-Crystal]]s that can only be acquired by participating in the [[island challenge]], where the player must travel to all four of Alola's islands to become the island challenge champion. Afterwards, the player then returns home to prepare for the next day.

The next day, Lillie visits the player and the two head to Kukui's lab. In the lab, Kukui upgrades the player's Pokédex into a [[Rotom Pokédex]] and explains more about the island challenge, which includes taking trials and getting recognized by each island kahuna. As the three leave the lab, the sky momentarily darkens. Kukui dismisses the event as an unforeseen eclipse.

This also includes the chance of encountering all the past [[Legendary Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Zygarde}}), though many are version-exclusive, or require trade to encounter the third member of their set.
