Kukui introduces the girl as his lab assistant, Lillie, before the kahuna, Hala, returns from resolving a problem on the island. The player and the girl then return to Iki Town and get greeted by Kukui. Thankful for rescuing Nebby, the girl gives the player a Sparkling Stone that appeared after Tapu Koko's departure. Before the player and Nebby fall to their doom, Tapu Koko flies through the Spearow and bring the pair back to safely. Even as the player had no Pokémon to battle the Spearow, the player rushes in and guards Nebby from harm before Nebby uses its power to destroy the bridge. Suddenly, a flock of Spearow attack the defenseless Pokémon, leaving the girl worrying and asking the player to save her friend Nebby. The Pokémon that the girl was holding escapes her bag as they reach the Plank Bridge, happy about the new environment it is in. On the trail, the player spots the girl that escaped the lab and follows her to the Plank Bridge. As they 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.

As she gets cornered by the workers in the area, the Pokémon teleports itself and the girl away from the lab and away from danger. Meanwhile, at roughly the same time, a young girl is seen escaping what seems to be a lab with an unidentified Pokémon in her bag. Professor Kukui helps create a Trainer Passport for the player before they and the mother move from Kanto to Alola. Unlike any other main games series, the game begins with a video call made by Professor Kukui to the player.
