One of the trailers shows Guzma with a lvl32 ariados on Ula Ula island, the last trailer shows the beginning of alola league, also the place where the workers say they are buolding it is right before the icy mountain, which name means victory in hawaiian.
The island challenge is just the first part of the game, after you complete it and stop the tomfuckery of team skull, gyms shall be built on those empty spots in every city, and Aether shall show their true face, Yaboi and the Yaboiz help you so Guzma becomes the 8th gym leader, the kahunas are the elite four and the champion is Kukui, he has plenty of battle intros.

It's kinda plausible that Guzma becomes a gym leader, after all he wanted to be captain, but he couldn't, so being a gym leader would be second best for him probably

The official website mentions that Guzma is great at battling, but since Trials arn't just about battles, maybe that's the reason he failed.
Him getting a second chance as a Gym Leader could be cool, since the position emphasises what he's good at.
They´d better fucking buff ariados
i could see hau becoming either the champ or a gym leader in this case

You fight gyms later on in the game, so I assume they'll be four Pokemon as opposed to the three we've had for past games.
