He forms friendly rivalries with Hau and Gladion, as well as a friendship with Lillie. Elio inspires Hau and Lillie to improve on themselves, due to his skill level and kindness with Pokémon.

Background and pre-game

Website blurb: "You will choose to be a hero or heroine in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, and you can name yourself whatever you'd like. The story begins right after your character has moved to the Alola region. No sooner have you arrived than your adventures begin to unfold, and you'll meet many people and Pokémon as you grow and learn."

Elio is an 11-year-old boy who recently moved from the Kanto region to Melemele Island in the Alola region. He moved to the region along with his mother. Elio exclusively appears as a player character.

Start of the island challenge

Elio begins his adventure when Professor Kukui asks to see him. After grabbing his bag and hat, he walks with the professor to Iki Town to receive his first partner Pokémon from the island's kahuna, Hala. Mistaking the young girl for the kahuna, he runs into Lillie, who's Cosmog, Nebby, has escaped her bag and gets attacked by wild Spearow on an unsteady plank bridge. He quickly protects the Pokémon despite not having one of his own. After the bridge collapses, the island's guardian deity, Tapu Koko, saves the two from falling. Elio quickly befriends Lillie and Nebby and the two proceed to walk back to Iki Town for Elio to choose his first Pokémon. After doing so, he gives the Sparkling Stone to Hala, receives a Pokédex from the professor, and meets Hau, a rival who he befriends and has battles with often. The following day, Professor Kukui teaches Elio how to become a proper Trainer. He battles Hau once again and is given a Z-Ring by Kahuna Hala, officially starting his island challenge. Professor Kukui then updates his Pokédex to the Rotom Pokédex with a Pokémon by the name of Rotom, who becomes a new friend and mentor for the young trainer. After Lillie and Kukui describe the functions of Rotom Dex, Hau comes into the Pokémon Research Lab and the three learn more about their island challenge. Elio then sets out to Alola's Trainers' School with Lillie, who helps helps care for and teach Elio about his Pokémon. Elio gets called to the principal's office (to which Lillie and Rotom jokingly tease him for) and graduates from the school. Elio begins walking to Hau'oli City with his new friends, discussing island life and the upcoming city. As soon as they get to the new city, the three explore the island, and Hau drags Elio to the tourist bureau to upgrade Rotom Dex. After which, Elio takes a group picture with Hau and Lillie using the new function. While on his island challenge through Melemele, Elio runs into the troublesome Team Skull, a group of hooligans harassing people and interfering with the island life. He clears his first trial with Ilima and gets taught how to use Z-Moves from the professor. After finding Nebby who is lost in Melemele Meadow, Elio defeats Hala in his first grand trial and travels with Lillie, Hau and Kukui to the island of Akala to proceed his island challenge.

Trials on Akala Island

On Akala Island, Elio is asked by Lillie, who is currently staying at Heahea City, to help her finding more about and protecting Nebby. On his island challenge, Elio runs into another rival, Team Skull's Gladion, who seems to be berating Hau for how he battles and his strength. Elio defeats the Team Skull enforcer, and goes on with his island challenge, accomplishing Lana, Kiawe and Mallow's trials. Along the way, Elio visits Royal Avenue, where he meets with Hapu, a young Pokémon Trainer going on a small journey herself and The Masked Royal, a masked wrestler who shows her how to perform in Battle Royals at the Battle Royal Dome, as well as Colress, a scientist, on Route 8. Elio makes his way back down to Heahea's Dimensional Research Lab ran by Kukui's wife, Professor Burnet to learn about her research on dimensions. Going through Diglett's Tunnel, Elio has a reencounter with Kahuna Olivia who agrees to do a grand trial with Elio. During their travels on Route 9, they meet Faba of the Aether Foundation, after helping the organization with a problem, asks to meet them at the Hano Grand Resort. Elio faces off against Olivia in a grand trial, with the nearby Lillie and Nebby enjoying the battle. Hau informs Elio about their meet with Faba, to which Lillie declines. Faba brings both Hau and Elio on a tour of Aether Paradise. There, the duo meets Wicke and the company's president, Lusamine, who explains her goals of protecting Pokémon. Elio protects Lusamine from a then unknown Pokémon called an Ultra Beast, reaching the artificial island through an Ultra Wormhole. Under the guidance of Wicke, they are sent to Ula'ula Island and regroup with Professor Kukui and Lillie after the dangerous events that took place.

Ula'ula Island

Elio continues his island challenge, he is informed by Lillie to visit the professor at Malie Garden and come back. Lillie requests help with research at the Malie Library. There, Elio meets with Hapu again and is given access to a book in the library by a Captain, Acerola. After reading The Light of Alola, Elio rides the Exeggutor Express traveling up to Mount Hokulani's observatory and he learns from Professor Kukui about the now developing Pokémon League. Returning to Malie Garden, Elio runs into Guzma, Team Skull's Boss who thinks the Pokémon League and island challenge is unnecessary. Noticing his Z-Ring, Guzma picks a fight with Elio and shows him his strength. Elio regroups with Hau and travels down to Tapu Village to stay at Aether House. Along the way, they run into Gladion once more, aggressively telling the two to protect Cosmog at all costs if they know anything about it. Lillie gets attacked by a Team Skull Grunt after breaking away from Acerola and Hapu, to which Elio jumps in and protects the young lady. After finishing his sixth trial with Acerola, Elio sets out to Po Town, Team Skull's base, to rescue a Yungoos who was living at the orphanage. This turns out to be a scheme conducted by Team Skull's Admin Plumeria, who Elio has fought before, kidnapping Lillie and Nebby and brings them to Aether Paradise. Overhearing the conversation, Gladion forces Elio and Hau to come with him to the facility with certain that Lillie is there.

Rescue at Aether Paradise

The now hostile Aether Foundation attempts to prevent the group from finding out about information on Cosmog and Lillie. Elio goes to Aether's Secret Lab B, and learns more about Cosmog, it's origins, and professor Mohn. Regrouping with Hau and Gladion, Elio takes down Team Skull and rematching their leader once more before reaching the mansion where Lillie and Lusamine are kept. Elio finds out that the President of the Aether Foundation, is in fact the mother of both Lillie and Gladion; and has an obsession with Ultra Beasts. Lillie insists to her mother that Nebby will die if their power is misused. It is revealed Lusamine had ended up kidnapping Nebby, containing the Pokémon in a cage and been using its powers to unleash hordes of Ultra Beasts across the Alola region, ending with both her and Guzma traveling to Ultra Space after a battle. This process has caused Nebby to evolve into Cosmoem (although none of them seem to be aware of this). Under the guidance of Wicke, they stay at Aether Paradise for the night and the next day the group splits off, with Gladion giving Lillie the Moon Flute^S/Sun Flute^M.

Poni Island

With newfound courage, Elio and Lillie travel to Poni Island's Seafolk Village to search for a way to find Lusamine and save Nebby. The two meet up with Hapu for the third time, and brings them to the Ruins of Hope, watching her become the kahuna of Poni Island. Hapu tells them of a second flute, and a ritual to be performed on top of Poni's Altar. After a small journey through Exeggutor Island, Elio grabs the counterpart of Lillie's flute and is met with Plumeria and Team Skull at Ancient Poni Path, telling them to help Guzma. Elio finishes his last grand trial with Hapu, with the group of three proceeding through Vast Poni Canyon. At the end of the canyon, Elio completes the last of his seven trials, and is met with the Altar of the Sunne^S/Altar of the Moone^M where he and Lillie perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the Legendary Pokémon from the book in Malie: Solgaleo^S/Lunala^M. Nebby takes them to Ultra Space and Elio confronts and defeats Lusamine, who berates him for helping and befriending Lillie. After a final showdown against the Lusamine-Nihilego fusion, they're brought back to Alola by Nebby.

Ending

Elio and his friends

Nebby wishes to come with Elio and Lillie on more adventures, but Lillie insists on Elio catching Nebby, saying that he will be Nebby's father now. Lillie says goodbye after Elio has caught Nebby. After catching Nebby, Elio is brought back to Tapu Village by Nanu and climbs to the summit of Mount Lanakila to take on Alola's newly established Pokémon League and Elite Four. His strength is tested by both Hau and Gladion, with words of good luck from Lillie before hand. After defeating the Elite Four, Elio is challenged by one person, the League's founder, Professor Kukui, ending in a win for Elio who is then declared as the first-ever Champion of Alola. During the subsequent celebration in Iki Town, Lillie takes Elio to the Ruins of Conflict, where the newly crowned Champion faces Tapu Koko in battle in thanks for saving him and Nebby on Mahalo Trail. Lillie and Elio are then brought back to the festival and enjoy themselves. Lillie intends to tell Elio something, but gets stopped. The following day, Hau tells Elio of an emergency and that they need to go to the Marina in Hau'oli immediately. It turns out that Lillie is leaving Alola to go to Kanto, and Elio has to say goodbye. After seeing his friend leave, Professor Kukui brings Elio back home.

Elio appears in the credits on a photo on the end screen, a photo that he, Hau and Lillie all took at Hau'oli City from the start of their journey. This photo is a part of an animated sequence. This sequence has a package sitting next to Lillie's pink rucksack. The contents of this package include the photo (among many others) that Elio, Hau and Lillie took at Hau'oli City; Elio's trial amulet, and a letter to Lillie. A quote, "Everyone's smiles shine so brightly. Those smiles led us to so many other people. And those meetings will lead us to a bright future. I'm so glad I got to meet everyone. I'm so glad I got to meet you." is displayed over an image of Lillie and Nebby before this sequence, it can be assumed that she is either talking about the player or Nebby. It is implied that Elio had taken all the other pictures found in the package.

Post-game

At the start of the day, Hau informs Elio of his victory with Hala, and gives him the two remaining Z-Crystals of the first partner Pokémon. Elio is then contacted by Looker and Anabel of the International Police, who request his help in catching the Ultra Beasts unleashed into Alola due to Lusamine's actions. Elio agrees to this, successfully catching all the Ultra Beasts roaming around Alola. While learning about the Ultra Beasts, Elio soon finds out that he may be a Faller, a person who has gone through Ultra Wormholes and were bathed in tremendous amounts of Z-Power.

Elio eventually finds his way through the rest of Poni Island, gaining access to a Key Stone and Mega Evolution from a revisit with Dexio and Sina, who he has met in Heahea City. At the end of Poni Island, he encounters the Battle Tree and meets Red and Blue, the Battle Tree's Battle Legends.

At Aether Paradise, Elio meets up with Gladion, who is now the acting president of the Aether Foundation. Gladion thanks Elio for his help with his family, especially with Lillie, claiming that Lillie has never smiled so happily since she met Elio. Gladion rewards them with a Type: Null, and says he is looking forward to Alola's strong champion.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

Background and pre-game

Like in the original Sun and Moon games, Elio is an 11-year-old boy who moved from Kanto to Alola with his mother. Sometime before his move to Alola, he has met Lt. Surge, the Gym Leader of Vermilion City, and got a signed Autograph from him. He put this autograph on a pedestal in his room.

During his travels, Elio encounters a group of strange pale people known as the Ultra Recon Squad, who are later revealed to be working with the Aether Foundation. When Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped, Elio follows them and finds out that Lillie's mother, Lusamine, is seeking to travel to Ultra Recon Squad's home world to stop a Pokémon known as Necrozma before it can threaten Alola. He successfully uses Nebby's powers to travel to this alternate world, leaving Lillie and Elio to figure out how to follow her. They travel to Poni Island and perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo^US or Lunala^UM. However, before Elio and Lillie can go after Lusamine, she's suddenly thrown out of an Ultra Wormhole before them, followed by Necrozma. Necrozma proceeds to battle and absorb Nebby, before traveling back to Ultra Space. With the Ultra Recon Squad's help, Elio travels to their home world of Ultra Megalopolis, where he defeats Necrozma once again and saves Nebby.

After completing his last island challenge trial, Elio climbs Mount Lanakila to reach the newly established Pokémon League at its summit, re-encountering Necrozma along the way. After Elio has defeated the brand-new Alola Elite Four, Professor Kukui arrives and presents Hau as his final challenge before he can claim the championship. Elio successfully defeats Hau one last time, making him the first Champion of Alola.

Later, Elio assists the Ultra Recon Squad in catching some Ultra Beasts roaming around Poni Island. But no sooner has he returned home that he learns of an evil organization called Team Rainbow Rocket appearing in the region. The team takes over Aether Paradise, sets up their base on it, and kindnaps Lusamine. Elio storms the base and takes down the members of Team Rainbow Rocket, including their leader, Giovanni, saving Lusamine and making Team Rainbow Rocket leave Alola.
