History

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Ulu and his family

Ulu debuted in a flashback in A Seasoned Search!, where it was revealed that he was currently traveling around the world to become a better chef with his Lickitung. During his journey, he discovered an old recipe describing how to make Alolan Stew and sent it to Mallow.

Ulu physically debuted in Sours for the Sweet!, in order to participate in the Alola Bread Festival. After Abe had injured his back, Ulu assisted Mallow in helping Aina's Kitchen take part in the festival. He had a crush on Nina, only to be indirectly rejected when he realized she had a fiancé. Ulu struggled to overcome his lovesickness. With the support of Mallow, her friends and Steenee, he was able to come up with a recipe - freshly baked bread glazed with Grepa Berry and Sweet Scent jam, and won the Bread Festival. Afterwards he sailed away to continue his travels.

In League Offenders and Defenders!, Ulu was running a Pinap Berry juice pop-up, catering for the Manalo Conference crowd when he reunited with Mallow. Upon learning that Mallow was going to compete in the Alola League, Ulu promised to close his shop and cheer her on whenever she battles. He kept his promise, closing his store in Battling Besties!, to watch Mallow's battle against Lana.

In Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, Ulu returned home with a bunch of flowers for Mallow, which turned out to be Gracideas. This allowed Mallow's Shaymin to change into its Sky Forme and fly away with a trio of other Shaymin.

Konikoni City

"Mallow! Can you give me a hand?"

"Huh? Where's Mallow?"

Regardless of choice:

"At this hour? That's not like her... but now I'm in a jam. I was going to ask her to go do some shopping for me."

"If you see her, can you tell her something for me? Tell her to bring my Wimpod with her when she comes home."
