Sun, Moon, and Professor Kukui traveled to Akala Island, marking the beginning of Sun's Island challenge. There, Sun and Moon met Lana, Mallow, and Kiawe, where Sun took on Lana's trial while Moon searched for some Mirage Berries with Mallow. They then learned that Kiawe was attacked by Gladion, where Sun learned how to use a Z-Move while fighting him. After Gladion left, the group were able to deliver a Mirage Berry to Tapu Lele, but not before challenging it.
Once Kukui rejoined with them in Konikoni City, they planned their next move, discussing the recent Ultra Wormholes and Team Skull's involvement with them. Sun, Moon, and Kukui decided to head to Ula'ula Island, where the Trial Captains would make for Team Skull's hideout.
