Unlike any other main games series, the game begins with a video call made by [[Professor Kukui]] to the {{player}}. Professor Kukui helps create a {{ga|Trainer Card|Trainer Passport}} for the player before the player and the mother move from [[Kanto]] to [[Alola]]. Meanwhile, at roughly the same time, [[Lillie|a young girl]] is seen escaping what seems to be a lab with {{p|Cosmog|an unidentified Pokémon}} in her bag. As she gets sandwiched between the workers from the lab on one side and [[Ultra Recon Squad|alien-looking people in strange uniforms]] on the other, the Pokémon teleports itself and the girl away from the lab and away from danger. | |||
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|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 once that is weak to the player's starter and challenges the player to a battle. | |||
As the player, Professor Kukui and Hau reach Iki Town, the kahuna is nowhere to be found, so Kukui sends the player to the [[Mahalo Trail]] in hopes of finding the kahuna. On the trail, the player spots the girl that escaped the lab and follows her to the Plank Bridge. | |||
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 {{key|VII|Sparkling Stone}} that appeared after Tapu Koko's departure. | |||
The player and the girl then return to Iki Town and get greeted by Kukui. Kukui introduces the girl as his lab assistant, Lillie, before the kahuna, [[Hala]], returns from resolving a problem on the island. After Lillie explains the encounter she and the player had with Tapu Koko, Hala gets touched by the moment. Kukui then gives the player a [[Pokédex]] and sends him/her to the mother to show off the new Pokémon. Before the player leaves, Hala notices the sparkling stone and asks if he could borrow it, to which the player obliges, before inviting the player to a festival the following day. | |||
The next day, Kukui stops by the player's house again and takes him to {{rt|1|Alola}} so he can teach him/her how to catch Pokémon. Kukui then lets the player train before going to the festival. Before reaching the festival, the player runs into the [[Ultra Recon Squad|alien-looking people]] who seem preoccupied by auras surrounding Iki Town. They briefly talk to the player before leaving. | |||
At the festival, Hala and Kukui reveal that it is an event where Pokémon battles are held in honor of the [[Guardian deities|Guardian Pokémon]] in Alola. Hau and the player battle once again in honor of Tapu Koko, and this time the entire town watches, including Lillie, the player's mother and Meowth. After Tapu Koko approves of the battling, Hala returns the sparkling stone, which is now converted into a [[Z-Ring]]. Hala explains the Z-Ring's powers and the [[Z-Crystal]]s that can only be acquired by participating in the [[island challenge]], where the player must travel to all four of Alola's islands to become the island challenge champion. Afterwards, the player then returns home to prepare for the next day. | |||
The next day, Lillie visits the player and the two head to Kukui's lab. In the lab, Kukui upgrades the player's Pokédex into a [[Rotom Pokédex]] and explains more about the island challenge, which includes taking trials and getting recognized by each island kahuna. As the three leave the lab, the sky momentarily darkens. Kukui dismisses the event as an unforeseen eclipse. | |||
Before taking any trials, the player must attend the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] to learn the basics of battling. Luckily, the player is able to take on the teacher's assignments and the player is able to take [[Trial Captain|Captain]] [[Ilima]]'s trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. After beating the teacher in battle, Ilima invites the player to [[Hau'oli City]] after the player trains some more. | |||
When the player meets up with Ilima, two {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s appear, but they appear to be minor threats to Ilima. After a quick lesson from the player and Ilima, the Grunts flee and Ilima heals the player's Pokémon before challenging the player to a battle himself. After the battle, Ilima gets impressed by the player's team and allows the player to attempt his trial. On the way to Verdant Cavern, a {{p|Crabrawler}} drags the player to the [[Big Wave Beach]] as more Team Skull Grunts are causing trouble with other people. The Grunts get defeated by the player, and they announce to mess with Ilima's trial. | |||
As the player makes it to Verdant Cavern, Ilima explains the rules of the trial and lets the player attempt it. Midway into the trial, the Grunts from earlier challenge the player again and get defeated. The Grunts bother a wild Pokémon in the area, unwittingly helping the player complete the next section of the trial. As the player almost completes the trial, {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}}{{sup/7|US}}/Totem {{p|Raticate}}{{sup/7|UM}} ambushes the player and challenges the player to a battle. Upon defeat of the Pokémon, the player completes the trial. | |||
After hearing that Lillie has gone missing, the player heads to {{rt|3|Alola}} and into [[Melemele Meadow]], where the player finds Lillie. Lillie again loses Nebby and the player has to go find it. The player finds a small opening and crawls inside, emerging in the [[Seaward Cave]], where he/she finds Nebby in the company of the same alien-looking people, Dulse and Zossie{{sup/7|US}}/Phyco and Soliera{{sup/7|UM}}, one of whom challenges the player to a battle. After dealing with them, the player returns to Lillie with Nebby in tow and they both leave the meadow to be greeted by Hau and Kukui. After hearing that Hau and the player passed their first trial, Kukui sends the player back to Iki Town for their grand trial with island kahuna Hala. | |||
After defeating Hala, the player receives another Z-Crystal and is given a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pager]] in order to [[Poké Ride|ride Pokémon]] like {{p|Tauros}} in the Alola region. The player makes way to the next island, [[Akala Island]], surfing on the back of a {{p|Mantine}}. On Akala Island, the player attends the trials of [[Lana]], [[Kiawe]], and [[Mallow]] before battling island kahuna [[Olivia]]. On Akala Island, the player once again encounters [[Team Skull]] and Dulse and Zossie{{sup/7|US}}/Phyco and Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} as well as new people like a suspicious scientist from [[Unova]] called [[Colress]], a neglected member of Team Skull named [[Gladion]] who owns a Pokémon called {{p|Type: Null}}, and [[Hapu]], a wanderer traveling the region with her {{p|Mudsdale}}. After defeating the island kahuna, [[Faba]] invites the player and Hau to [[Aether Paradise]]. | |||
At Aether Paradise, the player and Hau meets the [[Aether Foundation]] President [[Lusamine]] and learn that the company is responsible for making Aether Paradise a sanctuary for abused Pokémon. In the middle of the meeting, a [[Ultra Beast|weird creature]] from [[Ultra Space|another universe]] attacks the player and after a short battle retreats to its own world. That's when Dulse and Zossie{{sup/7|US}}/Phyco and Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} enter the scene once again. Lusamine introduces them as the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], and explains that she is working with them to protect Alola from an otherworldly Pokémon called {{p|Necrozma}}. Lusamine then sends the player and Hau to [[Ula'ula Island]] to complete their island challenge. | |||
On Ula'ula Island, the player prepares for the trials of [[Sophocles]] and [[Acerola]]. While taking these trials, the player learns about a {{al|Pokémon League}} under construction and is challenged to participate in it as soon as the player completes the Island Challenge. After completing the two trials, the player meets the Team Skull leader [[Guzma]] and visits their base at [[Po Town]]. After defeating the team in Po Town, Police officer [[Nanu]] and Acerola thank the player for rescuing a stolen {{p|Yungoos}} and head to the [[Aether House]]. | |||
Upon entering the house, Hau tells the player that Team Skull's Admin, [[Plumeria]], kidnapped Lillie and Nebby. Gladion overhears the conversation and demands Hau and the player to travel with him to the ferry terminal for their next destination. Before the trio leave, Nanu challenges the player as an island kahuna. Nanu gives the player another Z-Crystal and asks Gladion what he is depending on Team Skull for before departing. Gladion reveals to the player and Hau that they have to return to Aether Paradise to rescue Lillie and Nebby. Despite the crazy story, the player and Hau tag with Gladion to Aether Paradise. | |||
At Aether Paradise, employees begin to attack the team as they believe they are intruders. They eventually reach Faba who, after a battle from the player, redirects the trio to the lower level of Aether Paradise, with the trio unaware that it is a trap to buy time. After learning of the trap, they head back up to find Faba, who brought reinforcements to battle them. [[Wicke]] then appears to them and says that Lillie might be with the President, but it would be hard to get to them. Faba then ambushes them again with more employees. The team defeat the employees and Faba again, resulting in Faba giving them access to the president's office. | |||
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. The player then runs into Lusamine and Lillie. The player witnesses a darker side of Lusamine and learns that Nebby is being sacrificed to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]] to the place where Necrozma dwells. Lillie tries to reason with her mother, but fails to do so, resulting in the player going after Lusamine. | |||
Gladion and Hau catch up to the player and Gladion tells his mother she is not ready to fight Necrozma on her own, but again, Lusamine ignores her children and opens the wormhole anyways. She challenges the player to prove her children she can handle any threat with her Pokémon, but even a loss is not enough to deter her, as she calls a similarly stubborn Guzma with her, and they both cross over. After the Ultra Wormhole closes, Lillie checks on Nebby, who has now [[Evolution|transformed]] into a {{p|Cosmoem|new form}}. | |||
The next day, Gladion gives Lillie the {{key|VII|Moon Flute}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{key|VII|Sun Flute}}{{sup/7|UM}} 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|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|UM}} and how there needs to be a ceremony at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} involving two particular flutes. Lillie shows Hapu the flute Gladion gave her and are told the other flute is on [[Exeggutor Island]]. The player then heads to Exeggutor Island to obtain Lillie's flute counterpart. | |||
After the player returns to Poni Island, he/she and Lillie head to the Altar. On the way to the Altar, they get ambushed by Team Skull. Team Skull battles the player in order to try and get them to talk about where Guzma disappeared to, but Plumeria puts a stop to the battling. Plumeria apologizes for her actions and lets them continue onwards in hopes of rescuing Guzma. Soon after, Dulse and Zossie{{sup/7|US}}/Phyco and Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} catch up to the duo and challenge the player. They explain that now that Lusamine has proven to be untrustworthy, the player is their only chance to stop Necrozma. The player makes way through the [[Vast Poni Canyon]], walking into an unmanned Trial in the process, and completing it. | |||
The player and Lillie reach the Altar and both prepare to play their flutes and either wait until dawn{{sup/7|US}} or dusk{{sup/7|UM}} to summon the Legendary Pokémon. After playing their flutes, an odd power in the Altar forms and takes Lillie's bag to the source of the power. Nebby is taken from the bag and evolves into Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}. Nebby prepares to take the player to Ultra Space with its new power, but an Ultra Wormhole suddenly opens, and Guzma and Lusamine fall out of it, followed by a levitating Necrozma. Necrozma immediately spots Nebby and assaults it, ultimately besting it in a battle and merging with it. The player then fights the merged Necrozma, but despite losing, it manages to escape. All the while, other wormholes appear all over Alola, sending Ultra Beasts across the land. The light all over the region also disappears, and the archipelago is plunged into darkness. | |||
Lusamine asks the Ultra Recon Squad for help, but, unwilling to forgive her for her recklessness, they brush her off. Instead, they give the player a uniform like their own and send him/her across dimensions to their world on the back of their own {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|UM}}. The player emerges in [[Ultra Megalopolis]], ascends the [[Megalo Tower]] and faces Necrozma, now in its true form, a dragon made of light. After the battle, Necrozma disappears, as light returns to Alola. Returning to the Altar, the player learns that after Necrozma and Nebby landed in Alola, they unfused. Necrozma vanished, and Lusamine and Lillie are taking a severely weakened Nebby to Aether Paradise. | |||
The threat of Necrozma is gone, but the player still has one trial to pass in order to complete the Island Challenge. He/she meets the final Trial Captain, Mina, whose trial involves challenging the other Captains to a Pokémon battle. During the trip around the region, the player notices that Sophocles is saying goodbye to his cousin Molayne and that Acerola is nowhere to be found, having left her place in Mina's trial to Nanu. The player completes the trial, after which Hapu invites the player to the Exeggutor Island for the final Grand Trial. After Hapu is bested, the player's Island Challenge is officially complete. The only thing left to do is challenge the new {{al|Pokémon League}} in [[Mount Lanakila]] on Ula'ula Island and become Alola's first ever {{pkmn|Champion}}. | |||
While making way through Mount Lanakila, the player comes across a huge crater with, in the middle of it, a weakened Necrozma. The player gives it some of the light from his/her Z-Ring and catches it. That's where Colress, who has been watching the battle, arrives, congratulates the player for befriending the beast, and gives him/her the machines he built for triggerring Necrozma's form changes by merging with Solgaleo and Lunala. | |||
When the player reaches the Pokémon League, Professor Kukui greets the player and gives him the choice to battle any of the [[Elite Four|four members of the Alola League]] in whatever choice the player decides. The members include former Trial Captain Molayne who uses the {{t|Steel}} type, island kahuna Olivia who uses the {{t|Rock}} type, Trial Captain Acerola, who uses the {{t|Ghost}} type, and [[Kahili]], a former island challenge champion and golfer who uses the {{t|Flying}} type. After the player defeats the Elite Four, the player takes a seat in the Champion's chair before Professor Kukui surprises the player with a final challenge, coming from none other than Hau. After winning the battle, the player becomes the first Alola League Champion and is invited back to a big festival in Iki Town to celebrate the big accomplishment. | |||
During the following days, Guzma and Plumeria disband Team Skull. Gladion leaves the region by boat to train overseas, and is surprised when he sees his mother Lusamine waving him goodbye from the Hau'oli Marina. | |||
