The trio then spot Team Skull and Guzma in front of where they need to go. Gladion immediately takes on Guzma while Hau and the player take out the Grunts. After taking out the Grunts, Guzma takes down Gladion and the player takes his place in battle. Guzma gets defeated by the player again and is forced to let the team move onwards.

This results in many Ultra Beasts being spread out in Alola. With the help of Guzma, Lusamine tries to put a stop to the team, but they put both of the villains and the beast to a stop. As the Ultra Wormhole closes, Guzma, Lusamine, and the beast retreat to [[Ultra Space]] while Lillie checks on Nebby, who has now [[Evolution|transformed]] into a {{p|Cosmoem|new form}}. | ||
The next day, Gladion gives Lillie the [[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|M}} and helps the player and Lillie get to the final Island of Alola, [[Poni Island]] and recommends finding the island kahuna. The player and Lillie eventually find Hapu again, who reveals the island has no kahuna. The three then travel to the [[Ruins of Hope]] where {{p|Tapu Fini}} grants Hapu the honor of becoming Poni Island's new kahuna after they both teamed up to battle an Ultra Beast. Hapu then talks about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and how there needs to be a ceremony at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} involving two particular flutes. Lillie shows Hapu the flute Gladion gave her and are told the other flute is on [[Exeggutor Island]].
