After Tapu Lele awakens, Sun successfully delivers the Mirage Berry to it, completing his task. Tapu Lele challenges the group to a battle to test their resolve. Despite Tapu Lele's strength, Dollar manages to land a hit on it after evolving into a Torracat.

After hearing the Trial Captains are going to meet with Team Skull, Faba heads off to inform Lusamine. Acerola properly introduces herself to Sun and Lillie. Acerola tells Sun that if he wants to meet with Tapu Bulu, he'll need to complete her trial first. Sun is given the task of photographing the Totem Pokémon that lives inside of the abandoned Thrifty Megamart and gives him a camera to complete the task. After finding the Totem, a Mimikyu, Sun battles against it, but the camera ends up getting destroyed. Rotom reveals that it got dragged along when Sun went to rescue Lillie earlier and lets Sun use its Poké Finder function to replace the broken camera. At the Trainers' School, Ilima agrees to help Mallow and the others meet with Team Skull. Hau appears at the Trainers' School to meet with Ilima and is revealed to have obtained a Popplio. Sina and Dexio arrive on Ula'ula Island to find someone that can help with their search for Zygarde's Cores and Cells scattered across Alola.

Sun arrives at Po Town, only to find the Trial Captains and Hau easily defeated by the rampaging Ultra Beasts. Guzma reveals he is in possession of another Cosmog, which he uses to open more Ultra Wormholes to summon more Ultra Beasts. Gladion appears and demands that Guzma tell him where he received Cosmog from. On the outskirts of Ula'ula Island, Professor Kukui, worried about what might be happening at Po Town, drives his yacht to find a place to dock. Moon tells Kukui to drive as close to Ula'ula as he can so she can use Rowlet to fly her to Po Town.
Truth and the Mastermind Behind Team Skull	Gladion uses Type: Null to battle the Ultra Beasts, which it does with ease as it was created by Aether Foundation specifically for that purpose. Gladion reveals that Lusamine is the one behind the Ultra Beasts incidents and dreams of making a paradise just for her and the Ultra Beasts she loves. Moon arrives at Po Town and asks Gladion if he's telling the truth. A Xurkitree appears from an Ultra Wormhole and begins attacking everyone while a Nihilego also appears and drags Guzma with it into another Ultra Wormhole. The other four Ultra Beasts escape Po Town's barrier and begin causing havoc around Ula'ula Island. The Captains ask Gladion to help them, but he refuses and heads off. Sun and Moon stay behind while the Captains head off to rescue any people caught in the danger.
