Professor Kukui also frequents the [[Battle Royal Dome]] under the masked alias "The Masked Royal". As the Royal, Kukui invites the player, [[Hau]], and [[Gladion]] to participate in a [[Battle Royal]] with him.

On top of [[Mount Hokulani]], the professor directs the player's attention to the other mountain on [[Ula'ula Island]], [[Mount Lanakila]]. It is here that Kukui plans to build Alola's own {{al|Pokémon League}}. Kukui believes that the time has come for Alola to make a name for itself in the world, and that establishing a [[Pokémon League]] will help achieve that. He then introduces the player to Molayne.

Later, after the trial of [[Hokulani Observatory]], 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, while continuing to deny he is The Masked Royal.

Kukui can be battled again as a challenger in a [[Pokémon_League_(Alola)/Title_Defense|Title Defense]] battle, despite not wishing to be the Champion of a League that he created.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Professor Kukui will be the one who will give the player their starter Pokémon on {{rt|1|Alola}}. Additionally, when the player sits on the Champion's throne after defeating all four members of the Elite Four, Kukui will joke about being the one who will be the last opponent the player must face to rightfully take their place as Champion before he presents [[Hau]] as the final opponent. After Hau's defeat, Kukui congratulates the player, and names them the first ever Champion of the Alola Pokémon League, entering them in the Hall of Fame.

Like in the original games, Kukui can be battled during a Title Defense battle and he uses the final evolution of the starter the player's choice is weak to. He can also appear as an opponent at the [[Battle Tree]].

Professor Kukui debuted in ''[[PASM02|The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl]]''. He was first seen at his laboratory, where he tested the moves of his {{TP|Moon|Rowlet}} and {{p|Popplio}}. The attacks caused Kukui to be sent flying through the roof and land in front of his house.

There, Kukui encountered {{adv|Sun}} and {{adv|Moon}}, the latter of which was tasked with delivering a {{TP|Moon|Rotom}} to Kukui. Kukui explained that he needed Rotom, which aren’t found in Alola, because they are capable of combining with Sun’s [[Pokédex]]. When Rotom attempted to go inside the Pokédex, it ran away because the Pokédex was dirty and smelled bad due to Sun constantly mishandling it. Angered by this, Kukui forced Sun to retrieve Rotom while he cleaned the Pokédex. Later that night, Sun returned to Kukui's house with Rotom.

The next day, a sleep-deprived Kukui angrily asked Sun why he wasn’t informed about Sun’s encounter with {{p|Tapu Koko}} the previous day. To Sun’s annoyance, Kukui also revealed that he decided to enter Sun in a tournament being held at an [[Iki Town]] festival later that day.

In ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', Kukui participated in the Iki Town festival tournament while disguised as the Masked Royal. In the [[PASM05|first round]], Kukui was paired up against Sun. Due to the lack of a monetary reward, Sun refused to take the battle seriously until Hala revealed the prize for winning the tournament, an [[island challenge]] amulet. Assuming the amulet was valuable and he could sell it money, Sun became motivated enough to battle seriously, allowing him to win the battle and advance to the next round. Afterward, Kukui watched the remaining battles alongside Hala.

In ''[[PASM07|The Final Match and a Surprising Finale!]]'', Kukui, as himself, transported Sun and Moon to [[Akala Island]] on his yacht. While they traveled, Kukui allowed Moon to take his {{p|Rowlet}}, as he noticed the bond the two developed. Moon also revealed that the Rotom she delivered actually fused with a spare Pokédex she received from Kukui to become the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. After arriving at [[Akala Island]], Kukui told Sun and Moon to wait on the docks while he went to the Dimensional Research Lab to talk to his wife, [[Professor Burnet]].

In ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]'', Kukui sent several Pokémon documents to Burnet, who was still at Kukui’s house. As they talked, Burnet revealed that [[Nebby]] is actually the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Cosmog}}. Burnet suggests that Lillie may have been trying to keep Nebby away from someone, but she refused to clarify who she was trying to escape from. To Kukui’s surprise, Burnet suggested that he make Lillie his assistant, as it may help her begin to open up more.

In ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'', Kukui arrived at [[Konikoni City]], where he, Sun, Moon, [[Kiawe]], [[Mallow]], and [[Lana]] went to Mallow's restaurant, where they talked to Burnet over a video phone. Burnet revealed that earlier that day, she witnessed Nebby clawing at the sky, creating a [[Ultra Wormhole|crack in the sky]] in the process. With this information, everyone came to the conclusion that the various cracks seen around Alola were caused by Nebby and that Lillie must have been running away from some villains in order to keep Nebby away  from them. Worried that Burnet may not be able to keep Lillie safe alone, Kukui suggested Burnet take Lillie with her to meet up with him, Sun, and Moon at [[Ula'ula Island]]. To his shock, Lana stated that she and the other Captains will head to Team Skull's hideout in [[Po Town]] to have a discussion with them.
