Professor Kukui: Difference between revisions

Later, after their trial with [[Sophocles]], the player is asked by Molayne to return the [[Professor's Mask]] to Kukui, who is at [[Malie Garden]]. There, Kukui is confronted by the boss of Team Skull, [[Guzma]]. He calls both the professor and himself "fellow rejects who never could become [[Trial Captain|captains]]." The boss then criticizes Kukui's idea of building a Pokémon League. Kukui then reveals he chose not to become a captain because he had other goals to pursue. Those goals are what lead him to build the League. The professor then asks the player to battle Guzma. The player wins, and Guzma leaves. Kukui thanks the player by giving them the [[Z-Crystal]] for the final evolution of the [[starter Pokémon]] they chose; [[Decidium Z]], [[Incinium Z]], [[Primarium Z]] for {{p|Decidueye}}, {{p|Incineroar}}, and {{p|Primarina}}, respectively. He also takes back the mask, saying that he'll make sure the mask will return to The Royal safely. The professor stays on Ula'ula for the rest of the game until the player has finished all their trials.

Much later, the Professor greets the player at the gates to the now completed Pokémon League resting on top of Mount Lanakila. He will congratulate the player for completing all trials and grand trials. He remembers the time when the player chose their first Pokémon, to which the player asks if he is cold (but his soul keeps him heated). Kukui welcomes the player to the league, explaining how the tip of Mount Lanakila was always a place of respect and where every island challenge is finished, the closest place to the sun and Moon. And if {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} is in their [[party]], Kukui will share a few words with the [[Legendary Pokémon]], as well. Once the player enters the League gates, Kukui explains how the Elite Four challenge works, and wishes the player luck.
