Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Difference between revisions

Three months later, the player, along with the mother and {{p|Meowth}}, are enjoying their new home on [[Melemele Island]]. While taking a stroll on {{rt|1|Alola}}, the player gets attacked by a wild {{p|Yungoos}}, only for a {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}} to suddenly arrive on the scene and scare it off. Professor Kukui soon joins the player and explains these Pokémon are supposed to be given out as [[starter Pokémon]] on behalf of the [[island kahuna]] [[Hala]]. Excited by what he just saw, he decides to give the player one of the three Pokémon right away. Before arriving to [[Iki Town]], Professor Kukui and the player run into Hala's grandson [[Hau]], who immediately takes a liking to the player. Of the two remaining starter Pokémon, Hau chooses the one that is weak to the player's starter and challenges the player to a battle.

The Pokémon that the girl was holding escapes her bag as they reach the Plank Bridge, happy about the new environment it is in. Suddenly, a flock of {{p|Spearow}} attack the defenseless Pokémon, leaving the girl worrying and asking the player to save her friend [[Nebby]]. As she asks this, one of the Spearow rushes towards the player, making the chosen starter save the day again. Once the Spearow is dealt with, the player rushes in and guards Nebby from further harm before Nebby uses its power to destroy the bridge. Before the player and Nebby fall to their doom, {{p|Tapu Koko}} flies through the Spearow and bring the pair back to safely. Thankful for rescuing Nebby, the girl gives the player a [[Sparkling Stone]] that appeared after Tapu Koko's departure.

Once Faba has been defeated, the player starts making their way through the castle. Along the way to rescue Lusamine, they must battle and defeat the villainous team leaders [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], and [[Ghetsis]], whom Team Rainbow Rocket had summoned from {{pkmn|multiverse|alternate universes}} where their respective plans had succeeded. At the deepest part of the castle, the player confronts the team's leader, [[Giovanni]], who reveals his goal being to assemble an army of Ultra Beasts using Aether Foundation's resources. However, once the player has defeated him, he accepts his loss and leaves, causing the mansion to be restored to normal in the process. Faba is punished for his treachery by being demoted to an intern, and Giovanni is seen teleporting away to continue his evil schemes in a different reality.

* The third floor of the Tide Song Hotel in [[Heahea City]] can now be explored.

** Hala can still be rematched during the post-game in [[Iki Town]]. Defeating Hala will allow him to give the player the Z-Crystals for the final evolutions of the other two Alola starters, a role Hau did at the beginning of the post-game in the original games.
