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. Three months later, the player, along with the mother and Meowth, are enjoying their new home on Melemele Island as Professor Kukui enters their home and takes the player to meet the island kahuna in Iki Town to get their starter Pokémon. 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. Its instrumental version serves as the ending theme.Unlike any other main games series, the game begins with a video call made by Professor Kukui to the player. The ending song is "Pose" (ポーズ, Pōzu) by Taiiku Okazaki, and the English opening song is "Under the Alolan Sun" by Jannel Candrice and The Sad Truth, featuring composer Ed Goldfarb.
