The interior of Wela Volcano was presumably meant to accommodate whatever they had going there, and the Alola league was hinted at being pretty elite if we're to go by the flavor text they put in XY from the strange souvenir hiker.
It really is a shame. You would have thought that USUM could have remedied the gap left by this by either piggybacking off of SM's story or giving us an alternate version where the league was already established now that GF got their footing with the post-GO format. But no. USUM ended up being pretty redundant aside from the few great fights.
