In ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', Gladion was once again seen calming down Silvally. He suspected that it had detected something, which was the reason for its uneasiness.

In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', Gladion encountered Ash at [[Ten Carat Hill]] after the latter was {{m|teleport}}ed there by {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}}, which Gladion believed to be an {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}}. There, Gladion revealed that the reason Lillie became unable to touch Pokémon was due to her being attacked by the Ultra Beast {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|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 ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'', Nebby teleported Lillie over 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.

After finding Silvally's [[Premier Ball]], Gladion and Lusamine headed outside, where they found Faba attacking Lillie and Ash. In order to save Lillie, Silvally {{p|Silvally|evolved from Type: Null}} and defeated Faba's Pokémon. With Lillie freed, she reconciled with Lusamine for her neglectful parenting and 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 ''[[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 ''[[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.

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}}.

Gladion met up with Ash again in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'' and informed him that he would be taking part in the island challenge. Before leaving, he explained that he couldn't just sit and be quiet after watching him and Pikachu use their new Z-Move.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', Gladion attempted to calm Silvally down after it sensed the presence of another Ultra Beast. Noticing that Silvally appeared to be scared of the presence, Gladion realized that whatever it was, it must be powerful. Later, he traveled to the Altar of the Sunne, where he joined Lillie, Ash, and their classmates as a member of the [[Ultra Guardians]]. There, Gladion, Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, and {{an|Lana}} combined their [[Z-Power]] to fuel a device that dispersed the dark clouds covering Alola, uncovering an Ultra Wormhole in the process. Afterward, Lusamine took the Ultra Guardians into the ruins, where she showed them a mural depicting the {{p|Necrozma|Blinding One}}. Before any attempt to translate the mural could be done, the Ultra Guardians were forced to return outside, where they found the wormhole increasing in size. A moment later, a {{an|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{an|Necrozma}} chasing after it.

A moment later, a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} chasing after it.
In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Lusamine's group came to the conclusion that Necrozma was the cause of the Alolan adults' loss of energy. Realizing that Necrozma intended on draining Lunala's Ultra Aura in order to possess it, Lusamine sent the Ultra Guardians off to protect Lunala. The Ultra Guardians chased Necrozma to Melemele Island, where they fought alongside Lunala to drive Necrozma away. Despite their best efforts, Necrozma easily shrugged off the Ultra Guardians' attacks and eventually took over Lunala's body to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}. Soon afterward, an elite [[Team Rocket]] group known as the [[Matori]] Matrix appeared and attempted to capture Necrozma, only for it to easily break free from their electrified net.

After the [[Matori Matrix]] retreated, Nebby appeared from a wormhole and fought alongside the Ultra Guardians to free Lunala. With its {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, Nebby successfully knocked Necrozma off of Lunala, causing the former to fall into the ocean below. The Matori Matrix returned in order to capture Nebby and Lunala, though the two Legendary Pokémon were freed by Ash's Pikachu and Silvally. The distraction allowed Necrozma to return and possess Nebby instead, causing it to become Dusk Mane Necrozma. Ash tried to free Nebby but was unable to stop Necrozma from escaping into an Ultra Wormhole. With Necrozma gone, the adults of Alola were restored to their normal selves and the injured Lunala was taken to the Ultra Guardians base to recuperate. When the Ultra Guardians expressed their determination to rescue Nebby, their [[Z-Ring]]s began shining a light that went into Lunala, healing it in the process.

[[File:Ash and Gladion.png|thumb|250px|Gladion and Ash]]
In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', the Ultra Guardians and Lunala traveled through an Ultra Wormhole and arrived at {{AP|Poipole}}'s homeworld. While Lunala went off ahead to face Necrozma, the others stayed behind and were introduced to Poipole's friends and the leader of its hive, {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Naganadel}}. With its telepathy, Naganadel revealed to everyone how Necrozma lost its light protecting the world from a meteor, causing everything to become barren and shrouded in darkness. Realizing that Necrozma is actually the Blinding One, the group wondered how to solve the crisis before the same thing happened to Alola. Gladion wanted to defeat Necrozma in order to save Nebby and Lunala, but he was immediately stopped by his teammates since they didn't want both sides to suffer. Ash and the others agreed to help Necrozma by giving it their Z-Power in the hopes that it would release Nebby, regain its true form, and bring light back to Poipole's world. After heading to where Lunala and Necrozma were fighting, Gladion, Ash, Kiawe, and Lana fired simultaneous Z-Moves at the Prism Pokémon.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', the combined Z-Moves were absorbed by Necrozma, but it wasn't enough to get it to release Nebby. After informing Lusamine's group of the situation, the Ultra Guardians learned that in the tale of Alola's creation, the people and Pokémon of Alola assisted Solgaleo and Lunala in restoring Necrozma's light by sharing their Z-Power with it. Together, the Ultra Guardians, their Pokémon, Lunala, Poipole's comrades, and everyone else back in Alola shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing it to release Nebby. The Z-Power still wasn't enough to satiate Necrozma, who continued attacking everyone and tried to capture Nebby again. After receiving a [[Lunalium Z]] from Lunala, Gladion and Lunala performed {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} alongside Ash and Nebby, who used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}. The combined Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma's light, giving it the strength to become its true form, Ultra Necrozma, and restore Poipole's homeworld back to its original state. Afterward, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole as Ash said farewell to Poipole, who chose to stay behind.

In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Gladion was training with his Pokémon the night before the final match when Lillie and Lusamine approached him and suggested that he get some rest. However, he declined and told them that he wanted to be prepared for the battle. This prompted Lusamine to compare him to Mohn, mentioning that his father frequently became consumed with preparing for battles, even on their wedding day. Gladion's battle against Ash began the next day, with Gladion sending out Silvally to battle Ash's newly-evolved {{AP|Melmetal}}. After Silvally withstood a few hits, Gladion threw a [[Fighting Memory]], allowing Silvally to turn into a {{t|Fighting}} type, which allowed it to defeat Melmetal. Ash then sent out Pikachu and managed to defeat Silvally. Gladion next sent out Zoroark, much to Lusamine's shock.

[[File:Gladion and his Pokémon.png|thumb|left|250px|Gladion's team in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'']]
Gladion is usually quiet, reserved, and serious. Due to the event that traumatized {{an|Lillie}} in the past, Gladion nurtured a resentfulness of the [[Ultra Beast]]s and began his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] to be able to defeat every one of them. As seen in [[SM027|his debut]], this event also made him grow distant from his sister, as he still blamed himself for Lillie's inability to touch Pokémon. As a result, Gladion had a considerably more difficult time opening up to Ultra Beasts that were, in fact, peaceful, a trait first seen in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', when he immediately grew defensive after learning about {{DL|Nebby|In the anime|Nebby}}'s nature. He also had a similar reaction to [[Ash's Poipole]] in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'' and even ordered {{TP|Gladion|Zoroark}} to attack {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie}}, the {{Shiny}} {{p|Nihilego}} his father had been living with, in ''[[JN111|The Homecoming Crown!]]''.
When Gladion first appeared, he was distant from his sister because he blamed himself for why {{an|Lillie}} was unable to touch Pokémon. He is an impatient person, as seen in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', when he demanded the {{an|guardian deities}} hurry up as they waited to save {{an|Lusamine|his mother}}. He also has a temper, as seen in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', when he harshly scolded Ash for accidentally causing Lillie's traumatic fear of Pokémon to resurface due to his negligence with {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}}. Despite this, Gladion quickly recognized Ash's potential as a Trainer, and after defeating [[Ash's Lycanroc]] in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', thanked Ash for giving Silvally an opportunity to train. He was also motivated to take the island challenge after seeing Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. When he first saw {{AP|Poipole}} for the first time, he quickly put up his guard around it due to the fact that Poipole was an Ultra Beast.
[[File:Gladion and his Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Gladion's team in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'']]
Despite his usual cold exterior, Gladion has a more temperamental side to him. For example, in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', he did not hesitate in scolding Ash for causing Lillie's fear of Pokémon to resurface due to his negligence with Nebby. He also is somewhat of an impatient person, as seen in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', when he demanded the {{an|guardian deities}} to hurry up as they waited to save {{an|Lusamine|his mother}}.


As shown in ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', Gladion has enough faith in his Pokémon to let them battle each other to train, without giving them any kind of command. He also becomes happy whenever his Pokémon do well, as shown when he congratulated Lycanroc with a fist-bump after it defeated Ash's Lycanroc. Gladion's battle style is generally more calculated than Ash's. When battling with Silvally, Gladion will make good use of its {{a|RKS System}} to keep it at an advantage. However, Gladion and his Pokémon began adapting more of Ash's unconventional strategies after he acknowledged the Trainer from [[Kanto]] as his [[rival]]. In ''[[SM132|Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Strategy!]]'', Gladion and Lycanroc countered [[James]] and {{TP|James|Mareanie}}'s {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} using the same strategy Ash and his Lycanroc used in their grand trial against [[Nanu]], despite not being there to see it. As shown in the ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Gladion and Lycanroc were also able to devise a counter to the {{status|confusion}} caused by {{m|Outrage}}.
Nonetheless, he is a strong Trainer, able to advance with ease through the bracket of the first [[Alola League]] [[Manalo Conference]]. He quickly recognized Ash's potential as a Trainer, and after defeating [[Ash's Lycanroc]] in ''A Masked Warning!'', thanked Ash for giving {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} an opportunity to train. He was also motivated to take the island challenge after seeing Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.


At some point when Gladion and his family found the amnesiac Mohn living with a shiny Nihilego in the Crown Tundra, he immediately ordered Zoroark to go battle the Ultra Beast. But Lusamine stopped them from doing so since Mohn has amnesia and tells him that he thinks the Ultra Beast is his daughter. She reminded him that even if he tried to mercilessly attack Nihilego in front of Mohn, he would react differently. This revelation made Gladion feel remorseful for what he almost did and should've thought about his father's feelings before taking action first.

Lunala later teamed up with Gladion to help provide enough light for Necrozma to restore its Ultra form using its [[Z-Move]], {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}.}}
