Before the events of both sets of games, Professor [[Mohn]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] had conducted research on [[Ultra Beast]]s and discovering the existence of [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Nihilego}}, he had ended up missing prior to the story of the games.

Two years prior to the events of the games, [[Gladion]] steals a {{p|Type: Null}} species from the [[Aether Foundation]] and leaves [[Aether Paradise]].

Lillie stays with both [[Professor Kukui]] and Burnet on [[Melemele Island]] leading up to the events of the main story.

The Alola region consists of four main islands: [[Melemele Island]], [[Akala Island]], [[Ula'ula Island]], and [[Poni Island]]. It also includes one artificial island, [[Aether Paradise]], described as a "{{wp|very large floating structure}}" or VLFS. People can travel between the islands via boat, the [[Poké Ride]]'s {{p|Charizard}} Glide, and [[Mantine Surf]]; it is not possible to use the Poke Ride's {{p|Lapras}} Paddle or {{p|Sharpedo}} Jet to move between the islands. (It is also impossible to use {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}} for inter-island travel, since these moves cannot be used outside of battle in [[Generation VII]].) All four natural islands are, to an extent, forested and mountainous. Most of these islands' cities and towns are on the coast, with the notable exceptions of [[Iki Town]] and [[Paniola Town]]. Routes are relatively developed here compared to other regions, with several of them having their own [[Pokémon Center]]s in addition to residential buildings.

It also includes one artificial island, [[Aether Paradise]], described as a "{{wp|very large floating structure}}" or VLFS, and [[Poké Pelago]], a group of small, uninhabited islands. People can travel between the islands via boat, the [[Poké Ride]]'s {{p|Charizard}} Glide, and [[Mantine Surf]]; it is not possible to use the Poke Ride's {{p|Lapras}} Paddle or {{p|Sharpedo}} Jet, or any [[Field move|field moves]], to move between the islands.

Though steeped in nature, Melemele Island, in the northwest of the archipelago, has the least extreme environments. It is home to Alola's largest settlement, [[Hau'oli City]]. Its routes gently slope up towards the center of the island to form a gradual mountain, on top of which are the [[Ruins of Conflict]]. A notable Melemele Island landmark is [[Ten Carat Hill]], which was formed out of an underwater volcano and has an open-air hollow in the middle, itself resembling a volcano.

===Climate===
===Climate===
Alola has a warmer climate than other regions, being more tropical, similar to its [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Alola|real-world counterpart]] or {{wp|Hawaii|Hawaii}}. For example, a [[Lush Jungle|thriving rainforest]] grows on [[Akala Island]]. The Pokémon themselves have also adapted to Alola's tropical atmosphere, the biggest example being the {{p|Exeggutor}} that grow on Poni Island, who have reached lengths other Exeggutor are unable to reach, due to the amount of sun that shines over the islands. These Exeggutor match the flora that grow on the islands. However, [[Mount Lanakila]], Alola's highest point, constantly experiences snow and {{weather|hail}} due to its high altitude.

Each of the natural islands also experiences a wide variety of weather conditions. For example, [[Ula'ula Island]] hosts environments with harsh {{weather|sun}}, extreme {{weather|sandstorm}}s, and frequent {{weather|rain}}, in addition to the snow and hail on [[Mount Lanakila]]. [[Exeggutor Island]] is known to have common rain showers, as well, these often result in either rainbows during the day, or meteor showers during the night when the rain clears.
