Mohn Hidaka

Mohn Noa Hidaka (born Mohn Noa Kapule) is from Hau'oli City on Melemele Island in the Alola region. He was the father of Lillie Hidaka and Gladion Hidaka, and is the former husband of Lusamine Hidaka.

Background
Mohn and his wife, Lusamine, cared for their children, Lillie and Gladion, in Hau'oli City. He saw how close Lillie and Gladion were as brother and sister and was very proud of Gladion for all the times he defended his little sister. However, as time went by, Gladion started rebelling against Mohn. He witnessed the wrong crowds Gladion was surrounding himself with, which included Team Skull. He sternly ordered him to put an end to this, but Gladion didn't listen.

One day, Mohn and Lusamine were approached by a melancholy Lillie. She explained to them that their son, Gladion, was gone to join the Tekiyoku. They were saddened by this news and the loss of their son, but knew they couldn't do anything to get him back. Life continued as normal.

Over 2 years later, Hau'oli City was being terrorized by some Tekiyoku members. Part of this was taking place in Mohn's neighborhood. Lusamine was at work at the time. Mohn grew tired of their reckless ways of messing with innocent people he knew and respected, so he ran out to stop some of the Tekiyoku. The enemies ended up beating him up, prompting Lillie to run out there as well. She pleaded with them to stop. Suddenly, a voice told everyone to move aside. It was Gladion.

Gladion ended up walking to Mohn. Deceptively disguising this as a reunion, Gladion stabbed and killed Mohn on the spot, right in front of his daughter, Lillie.

Present
Mohn was first mentioned by Lillie in Episode 32 when she told the deepest parts of her backstory to Ash. She told him about how Mohn tried to do what was best for Gladion, but was rebelled against due to Gladion's changing personality.

She then explaned how Mohn tried to stop the Tekiyoku enemies when they were terrorizing his neighborhood, but was beat up for this. After this was when Gladion made an appearance for the first time since leaving the family. Lillie then told how Gladion then killed Mohn in front of her. This is one of the saddest parts of Lillie's memories. However, Lillie explained to Ash how she and Lusamine have forgiven him for the murder of Mohn by now.
