Summary's a bit rough as it was done in a livetweet format where I just talked about it on twitter.
Cleaned it up a bit and here we go!

Ryuki learns he got duped. Faba gets chased like in a horror movie by Dollar, the Alolan Meowth. Faba's fear attracts all the Nihilego nearby and they yoink him into an Ultra Wormhole. Moon rendezvous with Looker/Anabel and Zygarde goes back to 100% forme.
Zossie recognizes Anabel and says that she's gotten even taller. Anabel talks to Phyco that she was going to keep her promise and help, and but the final Beast Ball has been destroyed in the battle.
Rotom tells Sun that this is his chance and he reveals that he has a Beast Ball, taken from Lusamine around the time they were taken back into Alola. He gives the ball to Anabel, but she declines to say that she knows better about not repeating the mistakes with Necrozma.
Looker tells Anabel otherwise that her mission is to capture the UB for the International Police, but she just says just report that it was a failure because they lost the last Beast Ball and it was burned up. Zossie instead captures Necrozma, asking it to come with her.
”Time passes" and Moon is back in the Sinnoh region where Kukui is on call with her, telling her what the URS are up to and how Aether is changing.
Lusamine shows no sign of recovery, it appears that they consulted with Bill about Pokemon storage system stuff. Gladion has Burnet accompany Lillie to Kanto while Gladion teams up with Dulse on Solgaleo to find Faba somewhere out there in the Ultra Space.
Hau opens a store with Malasadas and Tapu Cocoa with Guzma and has Mallow help with recipes. Mallow also added a new special to her restaurant.
And Sun is seen with Kiawe delivering a bunch of boxes with Ash's hats from the previous anime seasons to a client at the Pikachu Park.
It seems like Dollar is back, and the Kommo-O outfit and Lurantis outfit (the most expensive outfits in the game) are now Kukui and Burnet's new costume.
After the call ends, Moon's sister asks if they should
start heading out, and Piplup runs up to her. Moon acknowledges that and they go.
The series ends with Sun waving away to Kiawe.

Pokemon Sword and Shield Chapter 1 Manga Summary

The chapter starts off with a little boy seeing a Zigzagoon saying that he heard Galar had different forms and types of known Pokemon, but seeing it in person sure is different. He notices a giant Pangoro and trips over the cliff and is saved by Sirfetch'd's Leek.
Sirfetch'd pulls its Leek Stalk out and grabs the boy while our main character offers him a hand and asks if he's okay. He says "probably" but notices a Poke Ball on someone's head and it terrifies him as it chases after him.
After clearing up confusion with Magnolia hitting the girl underneath the giant Poke Ball on the head, the boy reveals his name to be Manabu.
More misunderstandings pop up with why he was falling down, but he says it's because he saw a big pokemon and got startled.
The girl's essentially a giant nerd about Dynamax Simulators and Dynamaxing in general.The girl takes Manabu to the boy that saved him and says that they mustn't speak loudly or else... and then she does exactly that.
The boy's so focused that Manabu is surprised they're the same person. The girl calls out his nickname but he accidentally almost pokes her eyes out.
The girl explains to the Manabu that "Sou-chan" essentially is a creator for Pokemon accessories, mentioning past Pokemon who've used things as extensions.
Accessories are essential for their livelihood and also for battles. Even Grookey's stick that it has is also an accessory.
The girl has Manabu try out the Dynamax Simulator. The girl offers to show him what battling a Dynamax Pokemon is like since he doesn't have any and says she'll use her Scorbunny. The boy asks them to wait because after all this time (like 14 pages in), he has no idea who they even are.
The boy formally introduces himself as Tsurugi Soudo, but the boy can call him Sou-chan if he likes. The girl introduces herself as Tate Shirudomiria, but says to call her Shii-chan.
Professor Magnolia introduces herself and that he doesn't have to call her Maa-chan. The boy is utterly confused and asks if he's going to become a Maa-chan too (because his name is Manabu) and everyone's nicknames are essentially just the first syllable with extensions.
