As Pokemon GO's Season of Alola closes out, trainers can encounter one final event known as "Alola to Alola," complete with Special Research tasks.
Although Alola to Alola is accessible to all players, accessing its Special Research will require the completion of the season's other Special Research storylines: "A Melemele Adventure," "An Akala Adventure," "An Ula'ula Adventure," and "A Poni Adventure." Professor Willow will then bestow Pokemon GO trainers with the research for Alola to Alola.

Pokemon GO: Alola to Alola's tasks and rewards
Once Pokemon GO trainers begin Alola to Alola's research, they'll have plenty of tasks to complete and rewards to collect. The research storyline also includes branching questlines, and players will be able to make choices as to which line of research they will follow.
Fortunately, no matter the choices players make, they'll be well compensated for their efforts. This particular research storyline can also be completed at a Pokemon GO trainer's own pace, as it won't be removed after the Season of Alola has concluded.
