>You beat the last trial>Kukui calls you up, tells you the Leauge is almost built>He tells you its time for Alola to have gyms>You travel back to Melemele Island and build a gym in Hau'oli City>You find Illima and recruit him to be gym leader>He accepts, and challenges you to the first match>Earn the badge, travel to the other islands and do the same for the other captains>Wait, theres only 7!>Someone comes up to you and offers to be the eighth>Its Ya Boi, Guzma!>With all 8 badges in tow, you travel to the now completed league and challenge the Elite 4 to become the first championPostgame lets you rematch them at your pleasure
