A Day with Kiawe

Kiawe performed his fire dance for Scottie.

His vigorous dancing was really intense!

So, what did you think of my fire dance?

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that!

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that!

But 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.

Yeah, Marowak looks like he has a lot of fun when we dance together.

Yeah, Marowak always looks really serious when we dance together.

It's all thanks to Marowak that I'm able to continue practicing every day without fail.

There was a time when I was in a bit of a slump in my role as a Captain.

I felt like I had plateaued and couldn't improve my dance.

I just didn't feel like dancing, and I couldn't even bring myself to start practicing. Then, Marowak approached me and passed me his torch.

I felt that he was trying to cheer me up and let me know that he wanted to dance with me again.

Yeah. At the time, I was dancing solely to deepen my understanding of the Alolan people and Pokémon.

But thanks to Marowak, I realized that my reasons for dancing don't have to be that complicated.

Maybe it's OK to dance because I want to dance with a friend.

You think so, too, huh?

You think so, too, huh?

I promise that one day, we'll show you a dance even better than the one we just performed! Just like my grandpa used to!

But in order to do that, I need to practice even more.

I know! Why don't we dance together, Scottie?

Great! Let's turn up the heat!
