Here are two new summaries of the episode, which Dephender translated.

Ash and the others head to the Ruins of Life in order to search for Rockruff, who suddenly disappeared. There, they find the guardian deity of Akala Island, Tapu Lele. Can they find Rockruff?

The Grand Trial against Olivia is over, and only a little bit remains of Ash and the others's time on Akala Island. One night, Rockruff suddenly disappears. Ash and his friends from the Pokémon School search around for it, but are unable to find it. Olivia suggests Ash should head to the Ruins of Life, and when he does so, he spots Rockruff collapsed on the floor, covered in wounds. What happened to Rockruff? Will they be able to safely return to Ash's...?

I'm so happy omg I don't even know what to say

 

[Wishy-Washy]

Well that I did not expect, wonder if Gadion being here has something to do with Rockruff evolving and Gladion's own Lycanroc, but still, Type-Null wonder if it will battle this episode, if I hadn't learned my lesson with the Kalos League I would be hyped now.

 

[Hassel]

Oh!! How exciting to see Type:Null, that Pokémon is very interesting! Doubtful that there's any reference to AF yet, but it's still very nice to have Gladion appear again.

 

[radek.tadajewski.7]

Type: Null! I hope the other classmates will meet Gladion in person this time. I remember that they heard some rumors about a trainer that has a Lycanroc (Midnight Form), which turned out to be him. Will Rockruff evolve here or what? Type: Null can be hype! When will Nebby show up?

GLADION AND TYPE: NULL?!?!

For the time being, I think they'll have Ash and Lillie be the only ones to see Gladion.

I thought this translation would have been here earlier. Anyway, here is a new summary of the episode, which Dephende translated. There is also a new image of the episode.

Spoiler

On one of the last remaining nights of the extracurricular lessons on Akala Island, Ash's Rockruff disappears. And as Ash and the others search for it, a certain Pokémon appears before them.

I guess Satoshi won the battle after all.

I guess Satoshi won the battle after all.

That was obvious with them returning to Melemele after this episode.

That was obvious with them returning to Melemele after this episode.

They could have a rematch in this episode, but that's no longer the case considering what the summary said.

Not quite. After they return to Melemele, I'm guessing they will bring back Alola! opening theme song. For SM038 of course. You know, Mezase 2017 shows fragments of episodes SM030-SM037 which will be the last episode to use that opening theme and go back to Alola! again.

I'd be down for Alola!! with new scenes. Keep the song, but animate some new scenes for it.

 

[Hassel]

They gotta get rid of the clip-show opening soon (please). M20 has been out for a while now anyway, and the 'new' clips will all be old after this episode.

GLADION AND TYPE: NULL?!?!

Spoiler

the bombshell has landed

I can smell a new form coming out! Could it be sunset form? Or Eclipse form?

 

[Hassel]

Null looks a little uneasy in that cave, maybe it's afraid to meet other people but Gladion is able to calm it down. Cute.

 

[Wishy-Washy]

I can smell a new form coming out! Could it be sunset form? Or Eclipse form?

Eclipse seems unlike considering an Eclispes requires both the Sun and Moon out and the Sun is setting there, but Twilight is the time between dawn and sunrise or between sunset and dusk so it could be that.
