>Veteran says Kukui calls up everyone who's still alive

What is Kahili

>ignoring the title defense trainers

Think of the pony canyon as the victory road. Plus the reason there are no trainers is because you are the first to challenge the league.

So you just didn't meet them and they got btfo by the E4
Not that I'm not pissed about Victory Road, I was excited for a nice ice themed variation of it and it ended up being short and barren.

What I'm confused about is that kukui calls only people who have beaten the island challenge right, but HE failed the island challenge himself, and yet he gets to be the champion, your final battle?

Tfw Kukui is still so salty about losing he only created the E4 to repair his wounded ego.

Because after every time someone beats the Island Challenge, The Masked Royal starts hunting them.

'Everyone that's still alive' was a warning.

He did won the island challenge though. He could have become a captain but chose not to, and he was only BTFO by the Indigo League

I don't even remember it saying he took it, never mind lost it.

I guess not a lot of people passed. Maybe the guys at the pokemon center got beaten by the E4. There are also the title defense guys.

"Speak for yourself, Guzma. It’s not like I couldn’t become a captain. I chose not to. I had other dreams, see?"

That's because Poni Canyon was Victory Road. They practically beat you over the head with the fact unless you mash A through all the dialog.

He didn't fail his island challenge and he wasn't the champion, just the gatekeeper. Why do you think everyone and the game itself keeps referring to you as the first Champion of Alola?

I wouldn't want to go up a snowy mountain either if all the clothing stores only sold shorts and short sleeved shirts.

He didn't become a captain, he did complete his trials though.

He fell in the Kanto league, not the Island Challenge.
