Other than the main plot, everything else pretty much varies by character, so I’ll go by them individually, starting with the more important ones first.
Nanu: Along with Guzma, Mohn and Hapu, he’s one of the only people in the game who wants nothing to do with the Tourist trap. Unfortunately for him, he’s a Kahuna and Chief of Police, so they forced him to go along with it. He did so begrudgingly until Kukui approached him with the Elite Four idea, which was the last straw. Chances are the Executives are planning on replacing him with Acerola whenever they get the chance.
Hapu: Wants nothing to do with the whole plot. Unlike the others, she’s kept safe due to being the Kahuna of Poni island, which is untouched by civilization due to Tapu Fini’s homicidal tendencies.
Kahili: Was offered the 4th place in the Elite 4 due to Hapu’s insistence on not being a part of it. Was chosen because she’s a local sports star and celebrity, and to advertise Alola’s prominent golfing scene and fancy hotels.
Acerola: I don’t trust this bitch. She knows the island’s entire history but chooses to go along with the Tourism plot for some reason. Her favorite hangout spot is the reminder Tapu Bulu left to not fuck with the island, which is fucking haunted. She’s not really Nanu’s niece, but likes to torment him anyway. My theory is that she’s some immortal agent of chaos that gets her kicks from fucking with people.
Hala: I don’t know what he’s on about, either. He probably sees the tourism plot as something genuinely good for the region and is too senile to see all the fuckery going on. Hau has tricked him into thinking they’re related even though Hala doesn’t have any kids.
Olivia: Was bribed the Kahuna position to become famous but was used only for gags involving the fact that she’s a Christmas Cake and the fact that Tapu Lele likes to fuck with her. Has a nice rack.
