At that moment, Giovanni contacted them for a briefing on their progress. After Matori completed the call, she asked Gozu if they would arrive in Alola soon, and when he confirmed that they would, she had him give the order to activate their craft's cloaking device.

In Full Moon and Many Arms!, the Matori Matrix arrived in Alola, but were left lethargic due to draining Ultra Aura from the adults around the region. Despite this, when they encountered Necrozma in its form, they managed to trap it inside an electrified net before it shortly broke out. The unit briefly retreated, only to return and attack and Nebby using laser cannons on their aircraft while the pair recuperated on the beach of Melemele Island. They ensnared Lunala and Nebby in another electrified net, but it was soon destroyed by Gladion's Silvally and Ash's Pikachu. Nebby retaliated by hitting the aircraft with, forcing them to retreat again. Later, after Necrozma possessed Nebby, turned into, and fled through an Ultra Wormhole, Gozu and the rest of the unit were rejuvenated and continued their mission.

In The Prism Between Light and Darkness!, Gozu and the rest of the Matori Matrix witnessed the Ultra Guardians and Lunala head inside an Ultra Wormhole and attempted to pursue them, only to be stopped by Professor Kukui and Faba.
