===History===
====Background====
Many years prior to the events of the games, the ancestors of the Ultra Recon Squad attempted to gain control of in order to recreate the light it shares. This injured Necrozma, causing it to become aggressive, transforming its body into a black prism-like shape, and putting the Pokémon in constant pain, seeking out the light that it once had. According to Professor Kukui, pieces of its body were chipped off and scattered creating the Z-Crystals and Sparkling Stones that are used to form Z-Rings/Z-Power Rings found in Alola. Necrozma then attempted to recover its power and original state by stealing the city's light, which resulted in the entire world being shrouded in darkness. The inhabitants, however, managed to lock Necrozma up in Megalo Tower for its violence, preventing it from escaping.
At some point in the past, Necrozma escaped its prison and travelled to Alola to steal its light as well, but it was defeated and banished from the region by Alola's guardian deities and a human youth.

The youth then faces the newly transformed Ultra Necrozma and defeats it, resulting in the light returning to Alola and Nebby being freed from its grasp, allowing them to return home.
