"(possible spoilers) a possible connection between Prof. Kukui and The Masked Royal"

My theory is that Kukui is related to the Mask Royal. how? you may ask, well it is very simple.Firstly, Kukui's old friend tells the player character to give Kukui the Masked Royal's mask. He asks the PC to give Kukui the mask because he knows that Kukui is Royal's biggest fan.Secondly, in the ending scene Prof. Burnet looks at Royal and she sees a resemblance to Kukui, this is because Kukui was inspired by Royal to get a 6-pack.Thirdly, Kukui and Royal are never seen together. This is because Kukui is too shy to meet his idol in person, only speaking to him through letters. this explains why Royal knew about the PC and Hau's island challenge. via /r/pokemon http://ift.tt/2fT1Kb7
