Akala Island Walkthrough Part 3 : From Mallow’s Trials up to first Ultra Beast [Pokémon Sun and Moon]

Let's continue on our adventure at Akala Island to find out the mystery behind the Aether Foundation!

Heahea City Revisited

Go to the Dimensional Research Lab in Heahea City. Lillie is standing outside the building. A short cutscene will happen when you come close, showing Lillie trying to teach Nebby the move Splash. Follow Lillie into the Lab, but grab the Zygarde Cell in the courtyard before entering.

Zygarde Cell in Heahea City

Once upstairs, Kukui will introduce you to Professor Burnet, director of the Lab and his wife. Burnet will tell you about the appearance of the Ultra Wormhole over Alola, and says that she thinks it leads to another dimension.

Meet Kukui’s wife, Professor Burnet.

Burnet explains that Pokémon that come from the Ultra Wormhole are called Ultra Beasts, and the guardian deities of Alola once fought against them.

Professor Kukui then tells you that it’s time to battle Olivia, the Island Kahuna of Akala Island. To do this, you need to pass through Diglett’s Tunnel.
When you exit the Lab, you notice something strange in the sky…

Head on to the tunnel, which is on the opposite side of the street some distance away from the Lab.

The path branches out a few more steps into the tunnel. Take the left fork first. A trainer is standing near the fork, but you won’t be able to challenge him until you have defeated all the other trainers in the tunnel.

Take a left into Diglett’s Tunnel when you meet this trainer.

You will encounter a pair of Team Skull Grunts down the path. The grunts are about to gang up on you, when Hau shows up for the save! (P$ 1408) Hau will give you a Max Ether after winning against Team Skull.

Stroll down Konikoni City’s main street, which is lined with shops offering different items. Head to the end of the street and enter the house with a hammer sign hanging outside. This is Kahuna Olivia’s shop.

Once you’re inside, Olivia’s Probopass will hand you a letter, along with a Max Potion and instructions to meet her at the Ruins of Life. Before going, however, climb up the stairs and enter the room on the second floor. A Zygarde Core can be found in the corner.

Go into the shop next door, which is Trial Captain Mallow’s restaurant. Dining in the restaurant will get you two Heart Scales every time.

The receptionist at Captain Mallow’s restaurant will give you two Heart Scales.

Cross over to the Pokémon Center on the other side of the road. Talk to the little girl inside, who wants to trade her Poliwhirl for a Zubat. Meanwhile, an Aether Foundation employee will give you 5,000 pokédollars if you could give him information about Passimian or Oranguru.

Exit the Pokémon Center, then head towards the fenced area overlooking the ocean. Talk to the woman standing here with three Pikachu. She will give you a special Z-Crystal that’s just for Pikachu. She will even offer to teach your Pikachu (if you have one) a special move called Volt Tackle. There’s also a Zygarde cell here that appears at night.
