"Hello old friend, I trust Dan has treated you well?" Kukui asked the Rowlet.
"Splendid!" Kukui said with a smile to Emily and the others, all the while his Rockruff and Litten walked up to the group. Litten walked up to Lilo and stared indifferently at it, though Lilo seemed happy to see its old friend. Rockruff looked at Emily and Bandit, that curious expression still on its face.
"Well in that case, you came to the right place. To answer your question I am Hala, Island Kahuna of Melemele Island. It would be an honor for me to accept your challenge. Though I have obligation to judge the Contest later today, so we'll settle this RIGHT NOW!" Hala said to Dan as he moved to a to the center of the town, plenty of open space, and seemed ready for battle.
