What if the pokemon sun and moon anime takes place in the universe of ultra sun and ultra moon? it explains alot of stuff!

-Mallow, Kiawe, Sophocles and Lana aren't trial captains.

-The existence of dusk lycanroc

-Ash wearing the black z ring shown in the first USUM trailer. (Refer to new anime poster)

I mean, it all just makes sense. i truly think the anime is set in the "alternate story" of pokemon ultra sun and pokemon ultra moon.
