Gladion first appears in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. He was originally a member of the [[Aether Foundation]] together with his mother, [[Lusamine]], and his sister, [[Lillie]]. However, over time, he noticed his mother's obsession with the [[Ultra Beast]]s and realized that she would ruin [[Alola]] if she let Ultra Beasts into the [[region]]. For this reason, he decided to leave the foundation, only telling [[Wicke]] of his departure. Before leaving, he stole one of the three {{p|Type: Null}} created to be a weapon to attack Ultra Beasts.

Before leaving, he stole one of the three {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} created to be a weapon to attack Ultra Beasts.


Upon leaving the Aether Foundation, Gladion had two goals: to stop his mother and to free Type: Null from the helmet that was meant to subdue it. He eventually worked as an enforcer for [[Team Skull]] but was never considered an actual member of the [[Villainous teams|team]].

Though he did not appear in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'' in person, a younger Gladion was shown in a [[Photograph|photo]] along with his mother [[Lusamine]] and sister {{an|Lillie}}.
{{main|Gladion (anime)}}
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Gladion is a recurring character and {{Ash}}'s [[rival]] in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}. He first made a cameo apperance in a [[Photography|photo]] along with his mother [[Lusamine]] and sister {{an|Lillie}}. His first proper appearance was in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''.
{{-}}


He made his first physical appearance in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]'', in which he had a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]], and quickly defeated their Pokémon with {{p|Lycanroc}}'s {{m|Stone Edge}}. Later, he and Lycanroc were seen having a battle against a {{tc|Sailor}}'s {{p|Blastoise}} and won. {{Ash}} then asked him for a battle, but Gladion did not accept his offer until the next morning. During the battle, his Lycanroc faced [[Ash's Lycanroc|Ash's Rockruff]], but the battle was interrupted by {{TRT}}'s latest scheme to steal Lycanroc and [[Ash's Pikachu]].
==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Gladion Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Gladion in Pokémon Adventures]]Gladion debuted in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]''. He first appeared as a participant at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. He was absent when the tournament roster was being determined, but returned by the time the tournament started. He explained he was away checking an [[Ultra Wormhole]] his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} had sensed.


After defeating Team Rocket with Lycanroc's {{m|Continental Crush}} [[Z-Move]], he told Ash that if he wanted to obtain the [[Rockium Z]], he would have to clear {{isl|Akala}}'s [[Island challenge|grand trial]].
In ''[[PASM05|The Announcement and the Prize]]'', Gladion faced against [[Hau]]. When Hau mentioned he joined the tournament because he thought it'd be fun, Gladion called him weak and won the battle. In ''[[PASM06|The Party Crasher and Guzma the Destroyer]]'', Gladion's next opponent was Moon, who wanted to know about the Ultra Wormhole. Gladion agreed to tell her about it, but only if she managed to defeat him. Despite Moon's skill, Gladion eventually won the battle through luck.


He appeared in a flashback in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]''.
In ''[[PASM07|The Final Match and a Surprising Finale!]]'', Gladion and {{adv|Sun}} faced each other in the finals. During the battle, Sun's attitude annoyed Gladion, who questioned the boy's motivation for joining the tournament. Gladion's words angered Sun, who accidentally activated a powerful {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} that defeated Type: Null before passing out from exhaustion. Though Gladion still had an active Pokémon, Sun was declared the winner. Afterward, Gladon left to find a place to train so he may prepare to face the [[Ultra Beast]]s, mentioning that he lost his chance to meet the [[guardian deities|tapu]].


Gladion reappeared in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]''. After his Lycanroc heard {{AP|Rockruff}}'s howls and left to find it, he told it to return by nighttime. Later on, Gladion entered a cave and sent out his {{p|Type: Null}}, which he had [[nickname]]d Silvally. He then began comforting it, as Silvally felt troubled by its helmet, telling it that they couldn't go outside during the day when others would see it.
In ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]'', Gladion traveled to the [[Ruins of Conflict]] to meet {{p|Tapu Koko}}. There, he met [[Guzma]], who praised Gladion's performance in the Iki Town tournament and offered him a job as an Enforcer for [[Team Skull]]. Gladion immediately accepted, but asked to know about the person Guzma mentioned when he left during the tournament. Guzma feigned ignorance about his earlier statement and had Gladion follow him to [[Po Town|Team Skull's hideout]].


Gladion reappeared in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'' alongside his Pokémon, in which he was once again seen calming down Silvally. Gladion suspected that Silvally had detected something, which was the reason for its uneasiness.
In ''[[PASM11|Homecoming and the Brilliant Professional Golfer]]'', Sun and Moon found an injured [[Kiawe]], who was attacked by Gladion in order to learn where the [[Ruins of Life]] were located. After healing Kiawe, the three traveled to the ruins, where they found Gladion trying to take {{p|Tapu Lele}}, who was healing from injuries it sustained from an earlier clash with a {{p|Xurkitree}}. Realizing Gladion wanted Tapu Lele to help fight off the Ultra Beasts, Moon suggested they work together. Sun refused to team up with someone who works for villains and decided to defeat him with his newly-mastered Z-Move. Due to not having a Z-Ring, Sun attempted to borrow Kiawe's, but it was destroyed by Type: Null before he could take it. Although Gladion claimed Sun wouldn't have won even with the Z-Move, a voice appeared, claiming that Gladion wouldn't have destroyed the Z-Ring if he believed that. The voice is revealed to be [[Kahili]], who has her Pokémon distract Type: Null before delivering Sun his own Z-Ring.  


In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', Gladion encountered Ash at [[Ten Carat Hill]] after the latter was {{m|teleport}}ed there by [[Nebby]], which Gladion believed to be an Ultra Beast. There, Gladion revealed that the reason Lillie became unable to touch Pokémon was due to her being attacked by the Ultra Beast {{p|Nihilego}}. Later, Ash challenged Gladion to a battle using his {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} Lycanroc against Silvally. The battle eventually ended with Gladion as the victor. Afterward, Gladion left while telling Ash to not tell anybody about Silvally.
In ''[[PASM13|Unleashing the Incredible Z-Move]]'', Sun and Dollar fired a perfected Inferno Overdrive at Type: Null, causing its mask to crack. After switching for {{p|Porygon}}, Sun tried the Z-Move again, but failed, leading to Dollar's defeat. Gladion gave up on Tapu Lele, declaring it too weak to help him with the Ultra Beasts. As he left, Gladion revealed that something must be trying to break into their world through the wormholes.
In [[PASM14]], Gladion arrived at [[Po Town]]. There, he was attacked by the Team Skull Admin, [[Plumeria]], who wanted to see if Gladion was skilled enough to be an Enforcer. Though Gladion proved himself, his negative attitude angered Plumeria to the point where she refused to accept him as a true member of Team Skull. When Plumeria told Gladion to follow her, Gladion complied, but was momentarily distracted when a {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} jumped past him.


In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'', Nebby teleported Lillie to Gladion's location. Reacting to Nebby's presence, Silvally leaped in front of Lillie, causing her to remember the incident that led to her fear of touching Pokémon. When Nebby teleported Lillie back to her friends, she realized that she lost the ability to touch any Pokémon again, even the ones she had gotten used to.
In [[PASM19]], Gladion appeared at Po Town to battle the Ultra Beasts that Guzma summoned with the {{p|Cosmog}} he received from the [[Aether Foundation]]. Gladion revealed Guzma was being used by the Aether Foundation president, [[Lusamine]], so she could create a paradise for herself and the Ultra Beasts she covets. Guzma rejected Gladion's accusation, but was captured by a {{p|Nihilego}} and dragged into a wormhole. The other Ultra Beasts escaped from Po Town's barriers, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. When the Captains asked Gladion how they could help, Gladion refused to help and said they wouldn't be of any use before riding off with Type: Null.


In ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Gladion chastised Ash for letting Lillie see Silvally. Angered, Gladion returned to his hotel room, only to find [[Faba]] waiting for him there. Faba attacked Gladion and put him to sleep in order to steal Silvally. Later, Gladion told Lusamine what Faba did and demanded that she tell him where Silvally was taken. Lusamine, completely unaware about the entire situation, helped Gladion search for Silvally in Faba's research room. As they searched, Gladion chastised Lusamine for failing to realize that her desire to meet the Ultra Beasts was what led to the events that caused Lillie's fear of touching Pokémon.  
In [[PASM22]], Gladion, [[Professor Kukui]], [[Molayne]], [[Sophocles]], and [[Acerola]] fought off a {{p|Celesteela}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} at {{rt|10|Alola}} to prevent them from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]], which was being used as a shelter for those caught up in the Ultra Beasts' rampage. While Type: Null easily defeated Celesteela, Gladion was momentarily distracted when [[Lillie]] appeared and called out to him. Taking the opportunity, Guzzlord leapt in to attack Lillie, only to be easily swatted away by Type: Null, who evolved into a {{p|Silvally}} while doing so. Lillie revealed that three months ago, she stole [[Nebby]] and ran away from [[Aether Paradise]] after Lusamine tried to use Nebby's power for her own goals. When Lillie revealed she also stole a [[Sun Flute]] from Lusamine, Gladion decided that they should head towards the [[Poni Altar]].


After finding Silvally's Poké Ball, Gladion and Lusamine headed outside, where they found Faba attacking Lillie and Ash. In order to save Lillie, Silvally evolved from Type: Null into {{p|Silvally}} and defeated Faba's Pokémon. With her daughter freed, Lusamine hugged Lillie and apologized for her neglectful parenting. Lillie accepted Lusamine's apology and then apologized to Silvally, the Pokémon that saved her from a Nihilego years ago. This allowed Lillie to get over her past trauma and regain the ability to touch Pokémon.
In [[PASM23]], Gladion and Lillie traveled through [[Poni Island]]. Gladion revealed he planned on getting the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} to help him destroy the Ultra Beasts. As they traveled, a {{p|Xurkitree}} appeared and attacked them. Gladion and Silvally fought Xurkitree, but Nebby flew out of his hands and met with another {{p|Cosmoem}}. After Xurkitree was defeated, Lillie and Gladion met with Sun and [[Hapu]]. They learned that the Sun and [[Moon Flute]]s were a pair meant to played at the Poni Altar. The guardian deities of Alola appeared and took Sun and both flutes to the Poni Altar while Lillie, Gladion, and Hapu chased after them.


In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Lillie and Ash informed Gladion that Faba had kidnapped Nebby. The three traveled to Aether Paradise, where they informed Lusamine about the situation. They headed to Faba's location, only to find that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a Nihilego from an Ultra Wormhole. The group tried to fight off Nihilego, but it proved to be too powerful and easily defeated their Pokémon. When Gladion tried to protect his family from the Ultra Beast, Lusamine pushed him out of the way and was captured instead. Nihilego then proceeded to drag Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole.
In [[PASM25]], Gladion and Lillie helped {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} corner and capture [[Faba]]. At the Altar, Gladion and the others found that Sun and Moon managed to evolve Nebby and the other Cosmoem into Lunala and Solgaleo, respectively. Anabel received a call from Looker, who told her that a large number of Ultra Beasts made their way to Poni Island. While Moon, Gladion, Anabel, and Hapu fought off the beasts, Solgaleo was possessed by a {{p|Necrozma}} that appeared from a wormhole. Necrozma grabbed Sun and dragged him into the wormhole, forcing Moon and Lunala to chase after them.


In ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'', Gladion and Lillie decided to travel to the [[Altar of the Sunne]] in order to find a way to rescue Lusamine. After making their way through the island, they found themselves in a battle with a group of {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}} led by a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Kommo-o}}. With Lillie's knowledge of [[type]]s, Gladion gave Silvally a [[Fairy Memory]], allowing it to easily defeat Totem Kommo-o and allow the two to pass through. As they made their way to the altar, a piece of rubble began to fall on them, only to be destroyed by Pikachu's {{m|Electro Ball}}. Ash and {{ashcl}} revealed that they have decided to help Gladion and Lillie rescue Lusamine.
Six months after the Poni Island incident, Lusamine disappeared while Faba had managed to take control of the Aether Foundation, running it like a dictatorship. At the [[Aether House]], [[Wicke]] told Gladion and Lillie that Lusamine was found on Poni Island playing with a group of Ultra Beasts. Gladion suggested going to get Lusamine, but was told to stay behind as he hadn't fully recovered from the injuries he sustained from being exposed to the energy from Silvally's evolution. Wicke decided the best option was for her to return to Aether Paradise and gather information before making their next move.  


In ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', Gladion watched with the others as the [[guardian deities]] helped Nebby evolve into a {{p|Solgaleo}}. With Nebby's assistance, the group traveled into an Ultra Wormhole in order to find where Lusamine was taken to.
Later, Gladion was told by Lillie that their father, [[Mohn]], was still alive. Lillie decided to go and tell Lusamine the good news in hopes that she would return to her old self. Before she left, Gladion encouraged Lillie to meet with their mother as her true self, not the Lillie Lusamine wanted her to be. 
{{-}}


In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Gladion and the others arrived at [[Ultra Deep Sea]], where they found that Lusamine had fused with Nihilego. Lusamine, reduced to a childlike state, claimed the Ultra Beasts as her own possessions and ran off in order to prevent the group from taking them away from her. As the group chased Lusamine down, more and more people were forced to stay behind in order to fight off Lusamine's Pokémon. Gladion was forced to stay behind in order to battle Lusamine's {{p|Absol}}.

=====On hand=====
In ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Gladion gave Silvally a [[Fire Memory]] to break out of the ice after it was frozen by Absol's {{m|Ice Beam}} attack. He and Lycanroc then used Continental Crush on Absol. Although Absol appeared to have been defeated by this move, Nihilego made it get back up and continue battling. Gladion then rode Silvally to get to Lusamine. Later, they crossed the poisonous pool surrounding Lusamine and Nihilego, after Gladion gave Silvally a [[Steel Memory]] to make it immune to the poison. Gladion and Silvally distracted Nihilego, while Ash and Pikachu used the Z-Move {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to weaken Nihilego long enough for Gladion and Lillie to free their mother from its hold. Lusamine's Pokémon were returned to normal as a result. Lusamine was then brought back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole.

During the tournament, Type: Null was called out to battle against Hau's {{p|Komala}}, which it defeated. In the final round of the tournament, Type: Null battled {{adv|Sun}}'s [[Cent]] and {{adv|Dollar}}. Although it easily defeated Cent, Dollar was able to defeat Type: Null with a powerful {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}. It later evolved to protect [[Lillie]] from an attacking {{p|Guzzlord}}.}}

Gladion first used Umbreon in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]'', to help free Lycanroc and {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}} when they were captured by {{TRT}}.
 
In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Gladion used Umbreon to fight [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Absol}}, which was controlled by {{p|Nihilego}}, to allow Ash to save Lusamine. Umbreon deflected Absol's {{m|Psycho Cut}} attack with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, before being trapped by Absol's {{m|Mean Look}}.
 
In ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Umbreon was released from the Mean Look after Silvally used {{m|Multi-Attack}} on Absol, allowing it to continue fighting. When Nihilego had Absol get back up again after Gladion appeared to defeat it, Gladion told Umbreon to take care of Absol before riding off on Silvally to get to Lusamine.

|desc={{p|Lycanroc}} is Gladion's second known Pokémon. It is housed in an {{ball|Ultra}}.
 
Lycanroc was first seen having a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] and their Pokémon in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]'', but quickly defeated them. It was later used in a battle against a {{tc|Sailor}}'s {{p|Blastoise}} and won despite having a type disadvantage. It also had a battle against {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Rockruff}} but the battle was interrupted by {{TRT}}.
 
Lycanroc reappeared in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', where it left its Trainer to go and find Rockruff after hearing its howling. It eventually met up with [[Olivia]]'s Lycanroc and took Rockruff to the [[Ruins of Life]]. There, they encountered {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Lele}}, who attacked them. Lycanroc later watched as Rockruff evolved into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}}. Afterwards, Lycanroc returned to Gladion.
 
In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Gladion used Lycanroc to fight [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Absol}}, which was controlled by {{p|Nihilego}}, to allow Ash to save Lusamine. It was eventually trapped by Absol's {{m|Mean Look}}. In ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Lycanroc was released from the Mean Look after Silvally used {{m|Multi-Attack}} on Absol. Soon afterwards, Gladion and Lycanroc used {{m|Continental Crush}} on Absol. Although Absol appeared to have been defeated by this move, Nihilego made it get back up and continue battling. Gladion told Lycanroc to take care of Absol while he rode off on Silvally to get to Lusamine.

|desc={{p|Silvally}} is Gladion's third known Pokémon. It is housed in a {{ball|Premier}}. As a {{p|Type: Null}}, Gladion had already given it the nickname Silvally.
 
It was first seen as a Type: Null in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', where Gladion sent it out in a cave, whereupon it started acting restlessly due to its helmet. However, Gladion was quickly able to calm Silvally down.
 
Silvally reappeared in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', where Gladion used it to battle {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Lycanroc}}. The battle ended with Silvally being the victor. It appeared in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'', in which it once again came across {{an|Lillie}} after [[Nebby]] teleported it to where it and Gladion were and made Lillie unable to touch any type of Pokémon again. It appeared again in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', where Gladion used it to battle Faba and save Lillie and evolved from Type: Null into Silvally after breaking its mask.
 
In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Gladion used Silvally to fight [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Absol}}, which was controlled by {{p|Nihilego}}, to allow Ash to save Lusamine. However, Absol froze Silvally's legs with {{m|Ice Beam}}. In ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Gladion gave Silvally a [[Fire Memory]] to free it from the ice. It used Multi-Attack on Absol, which also released Umbreon and Lycanroc from the hold of Absol's Mean Look. When Nihilego had Absol get back up again after Gladion appeared to defeat it, Gladion rode off on Silvally to get to Lusamine. They crossed the poisonous pool surrounding Lusamine and Nihilego, after Gladion gave Silvally a [[Steel Memory]] to make it immune to the poison. Gladion and Silvally distracted Nihilego, while Ash and Pikachu used the Z-Move {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to weaken Nihilego long enough for Gladion and Lillie to free their mother from its hold.
 
It appeared again in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'' and ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', during flashbacks.
 
Silvally's known moves are {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Double Hit}}, {{m|Swords Dance}}, {{m|Crush Claw}}, and {{m|Multi-Attack}}, and its Ability is {{a|RKS System}}.}}

[[File:Gladion Adventures.png|thumb|120px|Gladion in Pokémon Adventures]]
Gladion debuts in [[PASM04]]. He first appears as a participant at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. Initially, he is away when the placement of the participants was being decided, but returns when the tournament actually begins. He reveals his absence was due to him investigating a [[Ultra Wormhole|crack in the sky]] his {{p|Type: Null}} had sensed.


In [[PASM05]], Gladion is paired up against [[Hau]], the grandson of the [[Island Kahuna]] [[Hala]]. During the battle, Gladion asks Hau why he decided to join the tournament and assumes Hau wishes to surpass his grandfather. When Hau replies that he joined because he thought it would be fun, Gladion berates him and calls him weak. Eventually, Hau is defeated, allowing Gladion to move to the next round.
Porygon's known moves are {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Discharge}}, and {{m|Zap Cannon}}.}}
 
In [[PASM06]], Gladion's opponent is {{adv|Moon}}. Moon reveals that she also saw a crack in the sky and asks Gladion to tell her about it. Gladion agrees, but only on the condition that Moon defeats him. During their battle, Moon proves to be an effective strategist and nearly defeats Gladion's {{p|Porygon}}. Despite this, Porygon eventually defeats Moon's final Pokémon through luck, giving him the win. The shock of losing to something as unscientific as the concept of luck greatly angers Moon, causing her to become dejected and ignore the final battle of the tournament.
 
In [[PASM07]], Gladion faces off against {{adv|Sun}} in the finals. Due to the immense defense Type: Null possesses because of its iron mask as well as its incredible strength, Sun struggles to defeat his opponent. After Sun's strategy to get through Type: Null's mask fails, Gladion angrily tells him to quit fooling around and begins to question Sun's motivations for participating. Angered by Gladion's attitude, Sun angrily declares that he will obtain the 100 million yen he needs at any cost. As he does this, the cast on Sun's arm unravels, revealing a [[Sparkling Stone]] underneath. A powerful energy shoots out from the crack in the sky and lands on the Sparkling Stone before moving towards Sun's {{p|Litten}}, {{adv|Dollar}}. The energy powers up Dollar's {{m|Ember}}, allowing it to create a powerful {{m|Inferno Overdrive|sea of flames}} that defeat Type: Null. The strain of the attack causes Sun to pass out as he wonders just what move it was that En used. 
 
Afterward, a defeated Gladion leaves Iki Town. Realizing that he lost his chance to meet with the [[guardian deities|tapu]], Gladion decides to find a place to train himself so that he may be fully prepared to face the [[Ultra Beast]]s.


In [[PASM08]], he travels to the [[Ruins of Conflict]] to try and meet with {{p|Tapu Koko}}, only to find [[Guzma]] there. Guzma praises Gladion's skills at the tournament and offers him a job as an Enforcer for Team Skull. To Guzma's surprise, Gladion immediately accepts, but wishes to know about the person Guzma mentioned when he left during the tournament. Guzma feigns ignorance about his earlier statement and tells Gladion to follow him to [[Shady House|Team Skull's hideout]].
=====Temporary=====
 
In [[PASM11]], Sun and Moon traveled to [[Memorial Hill]], where they find a defeated [[Kiawe]] lying on the ground, unconscious. Kiawe reveals that Gladion attacked him in order to get info on the location of the [[Ruins of Life]], where {{p|Tapu Lele}} resides. In [[PASM12]], the three travel to the ruins, where they encounter Gladion, who managed to find and easily kidnap Tapu Lele. Moon reveals that Tapu Lele must be resting from the injuries it sustained when it fought a {{p|Xurkitree|mysterious creature}} that emerged above [[Lush Jungle]]. When asked by Moon about his intentions, Gladion reveals that he intends on capturing the guardian deities. Moon assumes Gladion must need the deities to fight off the Ultra Beasts and suggests that they work together. Sun refused to work with someone who chooses to work with villains and decides to defeat Gladion with his newly learned Z-Move.
 
Due to not possessing a Z-Ring yet, Sun is forced to borrow Kiawe's Z-Ring, but it is destroyed by Gladion's Type: Null before he can receive it. Gladion reveals that he was forced to forfeit the Iki Town tournament due to Hala discovering that Sun obtained a Sparkling Stone from Tapu Koko. Although Gladion claims that Sun wouldn't have won even with the Z-Move, a voice appears and points out that if Gladion truly believed that, he wouldn't have destroyed Kiawe's Z-Ring. The voice is revealed to be [[Kahili]], who uses her Pokémon to attack Type: Null before sending Sun a Z-Ring created by Hala. Sun puts on the Z-Ring and prepares to use it to defeat Gladion.
 
In [[PASM13]], the attack succeeds, causing Type: Null's mask to start breaking. Gladion, fearing what would happen if the mask shatters completely, switches out for his Porygon. Sun attempts Inferno Overdrive again, but the attack fails, leading to En's defeat. Gladion decides to give up on capturing Tapu Lele, calling it too weak to help him fight the mysterious creatures. Gladion reveals that the cracks in the sky are not an opening but an exit, and that something must be trying to break free into their world.
Later, Gladion traveled to [[Po Town]], Team Skull's base of operations. There, he was attacked by the Team Skull Admin, [[Plumeria]], who wanted to see if Gladion was skilled enough to be an Enforcer. Though Gladion proves to be strong enough for the role, his negative attitude angers Plumeria to the point where she refuses to accept him as a true member of Team Skull. When Plumeria tells Gladion to follow her, Gladion complies, but is momentarily distracted when a {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} jumps past him.
 
Later, Gladion appeared at Po Town, where he found Guzma using three Ultra Beasts to attack the [[Trial Captain]]s and Hau. Gladion demanded that Guzma reveal who gave him the beasts as well as the {{p|Cosmog}} he used to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Guzma, annoyed at the accusation that someone is controlling him, sent out his {{p|Golisopod}} to attack, but Gladion managed to dodge it. When Guzma asked to know why Gladion agreed to join Team Skull, he revealed that his true goal is to destroy the Ultra Beasts.
 
Gladion has Type: Null battle the beasts Guzma summoned, and due to its nature as a Pokémon specifically designed to fight Ultra Beasts, Type: Null is able to inflict more damage on the beasts when the Captains' Pokémon were barely able to make a scratch. Gladion revealed to everyone that Type: Null was created by the [[Aether Foundation]] and that [[Lusamine]], the Aether Foundation's president, is just using Guzma to fuel her desire to create a paradise for herself and the Ultra Beasts she loves so much. Guzma rejected Gladion's accusation, but is captured by a {{p|Nihilego}} before he can finish talking. Moon tried to rescue Guzma, but was stopped by a {{p|Xurkitree}}, allowing Nihilego to drag Guzma into an Ultra Wormhole.
 
Later, the other Ultra Beasts escape from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. When the Captains ask Gladion what they can do to help, he refuses to answer due to them claiming that his statements on Lusamine's motives were just lies. He then states that they wouldn't be able to fight the beasts regardless and rides off on Type: Null.
