Hapu
Title: Poni Island Kahuna
Kingdom: Nintendo
Visual Description:
Hapu:
Written Description: Hapu is a young girl of Pacific-Islander descent from the Alola region. She is a Ground-type Pokémon Trainer, and is often seen riding around on, or walking alongside, her trusty partner Mudsdale. Her black hair is tied into a pair of segmented, round ponytails, and she wears a purple bonnet around her head. Hapu is quite short, standing at a mere 4’5” and weighing a little over 85 pounds. She wears lavender gloves, beige trousers, and a beige collared blouse. Her body is toned from doing quite a lot of farm work and traveling.
Personality: Despite her age, Hapu acts quite mature as the representative of Poni Island (chosen as kahuna by the guardian Pokémon Tapu Fini). She is known for using excessively formal and somewhat archaic vernacular. She is always obliged to protect the Alola region, and does so quite willingly with her Ground-type Pokémon. She will not stand for misdeeds, and can recognize people who would help combat those. (Also, she comes from a region where the police force is really apathetic. Like, why was Team Skull always prowling around 24/7?) Hapu has a great knowledge of the mythology of the Alola region, and knows the stories around the legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala. She is a diligent worker.
Game: Pokémon Sun/Moon
Current Story: After the incident at the altar of the cosmic Pokémon of the Alola region, Hapu resumed her duties as a kahuna. Mostly, she has been traveling around Poni Island, doing field work at her grandmother's, and occasionally getting the itch to battle the champion of the Alola region. She spends most of her time with her faithful steed Mudsdale. Other than that, since the end of the Aether Foundation crisis, life around Alola has slowed down a bit.
Weapon(s): Mudsdale (Pokémon): The Draft Horse Pokémon, and Hapu’s trusty partner. Mudsdale is a Ground-type Pokémon; Hapu keeps Mudsdale in a Poké Ball.

General Abilities
LV1: High Horsepower: Hapu’s Mudsdale uses the move High Horsepower, which consists of it kicking with its hooves. It is a Ground-type attack, and is therefore strong against the Rock, Steel, Fire, and Electric elements. Anything that can be solved with a swift horse-kick, Mudsdale has covered.
LV2: Stamina: Hapu's Mudsdale's ability is Stamina, which raises the Pokémon's physical Defense if it gets hit with an attack.
LV3: Double Kick: Hapu's Mudsdale can use Double Kick, which is another kicking move, albeit of the Fighting type. It is strong against those with affinities towards the Rock, Steel, Dark, and Normal elements, but it is not good against flying foes, psychic foes, insects, or ghosts.

Strengths
1. Stamina; both Hapu and Mudsdale are frequent travelers, and have such, have strong bodies, strong enough to tackle any terrain.
2. Strategy; Hapu, as a Pokémon Trainer, has strategies for battle situations, and has an intimate knowledge of her Pokémon.
3. Sheer power; Mudsdale’s highest stat is its physical Attack, followed by its Defense.
4. Judgment; Hapu is a great judge of character, as she instantly recognized the trainer with Tapu Koko’s blessing as a virtuous youth who would be willing to help keep the Alola region safe.
Weaknesses
Hapu is incredibly incapable of fighting anyone or anything without Mudsdale’s help. If Mudsdale is incapacitated, Hapu probably would have to resort to defending herself with whatever blunt force object happens to be lying around. Which… actually isn’t much.
Mudsdale, at 35 base speed, is one of the slowest Ground-type Pokémon in the game. It certainly is no Seabiscuit.
Mudsdale is weak to Water, Ice, and Grass attacks, and cannot affect airborne foes with Ground-type attacks. Also, Mudsdale can't swim. Or fly, for that matter, but that seems fairly obvious given that horses that are not pegasi do not typically fly.
