"My late grandfather was a fire dancer and the former Kahuna of Akala Island. When I was a child, I usually watch my grandfather do fire dancing and gained interest on it since. My dream is to be a great fire dancer and kahuna like my grandfather. My Charizard was formerly owned by my grandfather before he passed away."

"It takes a lot of repetition to get good at anything, whether it's dancing or Pokémon battles." "The power of a roaring blaze burns within us."

"Good morning! If you're still tired, get your blood pumping with some dancing! It'll wake you right up!"

"Dancing is a great way to commune with our Pokémon."

"My dancing is still not where it needs to be. I have to keep practicing to master it. I see Marowak agrees with me. We've been dancing partners ever since we met, you know. Once I start practicing, Marowak just naturally starts to dance with me."

"The Marowak in Alola region are known for being skilled at fire dancing. I often train fire dancing with my Marowak, from day to night."

"If you're ever interested in fire dancing, I'd be happy to give you a demonstration."

"I want to become a professional fire dancer, no matter how hard I have to work. I practice dancing as much as I can whenever I have a spare moment. Getting better at dancing requires hard work and dedication... Pokémon battles are no different."

"Sometimes people are intimidated by my intensity. But the other Captains like Mallow and Lana don't seem to mind. They treat me like anyone else. You don't seem to mind either. I'm very grateful for that."

"I started fire dancing after I saw my grandpa and his Charizard perform a dance together. He was a professional dancer, and when I saw his movements, I was blown away by them. I hope to become a dancer just like him one day!"

"Whenever I feel uneasy, I head to the top of the volcano to meditate. There, I close my eyes, clear my mind, and allow my senses to sharpen... For some reason, that's all it takes to lighten my mood."

"My parents own a farm at Paniola Town. We take care of our Miltank and sells Moomoo Milk to people who wants to drink these energetic drinks! I and my little sister Mimo help with the farm work too. During that, I tend to keep my eyes on Mimo since she's still little and as an older brother, I have to keep my little sister safe."

"My friends are Mallow and Lana, who are also trial captains of Akala Island like me. Mallow is an energetic girl who loves to cook and she specializes in grass-types. Meanwhile, Lana is a girl who likes fishing and joking around and she specializes in water-types. We were trained by Olivia, the current kahuna of Akala Island herself. For us, Olivia is like a mother-figure, she taught us how to be great battlers and trial captains."
