Head to Racine Construction, and proceed towards Canari's base of operations inside the building. Talk to her so that you can begin the Side Mission.

Once you've accepted the request from Canari, you'll be facing several Pokemon that will stop at nothing until you're sent off to oblivion. You will be given a duration fo 30 seconds to dodge all incoming attacks.
Ultimately, it is best to just sprint around the area by pressing B while moving so that you can swiftly run and navigate the area. Be sure to dodge the Stealth Rocks on the field as they can deceptively damage without giving notice.

Dodge Roll will be your friend so make sure you're pressing Y once you're in the vicinity of an AoE attack. Try baiting the Pokemon to your location so that they all get clustered together when chasing after you.

Maxing out your Green Canari Plush can give you an advantage given that it helps you tank more damage before blacking out and meeting Arceus, so make sure to collect Colorful Screws when progressing the game.
