>there are technically 7 "regular" trials, by Trial Captains, and 4 Grand trials with Kahunas
>regular trials don't always involve trainer battles, but all of them end with a Totem Pokémon in an SOS Battle
>Grand trials are always regular battles though
>first island has one regular trial: Ilima's
>second island has three: Mallow's, Kiawe's and Lana's
>third island has the last three: Sophocles' and other two
>the fourth island is a bit different from the other three: before facing the last Kahuna, the player has to clear one last symbolic trial, which involves the cover legendaries
>HOWEVER Team Skull and the Aether Foundation are doing plot-related things here
>the last battle against/alongside Guzma is ends up being something like an unofficial "eighth" trial
>Team Skull ends up helping you, and after dealing with the Ultra Beasts and Aether you can challenge the fourth Kahuna
>and then, you become able to challenge the previous Island Champion and clear the main game
>in the postgame, you're granted the opportunity to build a league in Alola
>there are certain empty lots in the major cities across the islands. There, you can build gyms
>the previous Captains now become Gym Leaders, and that includes Guzma
>finally, the Kahunas become the Elite 4
