Quick recap

Sun is a courier in Alola saving up to reach 100 million yen, for a goal he keeps secret. Moon is a pharmacist from Sinnoh who came to deliver a Rotom Pokédex to Professor Kukui. The Tapus grow angry, the kahunas revive the island challenge, and Sun is picked to take it on. Meanwhile, Aether Foundation President Lusamine and Team Skull boss Guzma pave the way for an Ultra Beast invasion. In the end, Necrozma absorbs Lunala and then becomes Ultra Necrozma. Zygarde, Solgaleo and Lunala bring it down together, and Sun hands over a spare Beast Ball so Zossie can catch Necrozma and the Ultra Recon Squad can try to heal it. Months later, Sun is back to courier work with a new goal.
