Zipp Ulani

Hoaalohakupa'a Natsu Ulani (nicknamed "Zipp") is from Po Town on Ula'ula Island in the Alola region. He's a former member of Team Skull and is now a member of the Tekiyoku. He's a Bug Manipulator.

Pre-Series
Zipp was first seen in the Transmissions. He appeared in Transmission #5 along with his good friends and former Team Skull buddies, Tupp and Rapp. According to Tupp, the three of them still "rep" Team Skull, despite their allegiance primarily being with the Tekiyoku now.

In this Transmission, he revealed his Manipulation, which is Bug. He then was the first to mention that the Tekiyoku was actually started by Giovanni, adding to the previously established point that he was their "former leader".

Present
Zipp made his debut in Episode 33. He showed up as the next enemy to fight the Mokusetsu, along with Tupp and Rapp, when the Mokusetsu was in Paniola Town in Alola searching for a Plate. When he and the others appeared, Kiawe instantly became very enraged. He shouted that he'll kill them for what they did. Zipp expressed confusion, because he didn't know the action Kiawe was referring to. Kiawe stated that Team Skull murdered Kiawe's best friend, Harry, in this town years ago. Tupp began to explain that it wasn't them who did this, but that it was other former Team Skull members who aren't with the Tekiyoku now, but Kiawe was still set on taking his anger out on Zipp and the others.

As Alain warned them to turn back before the fight starts, Zipp jokingly said they could just give them whatever Plate they got here and then everyone would be happy. Alain corrected him that they haven't found the Plate yet and a fight ensued. Zipp was set to fight Ash, Rapp was set to fight Alain, and Tupp was set to fight Kiawe.

In Episode 34, the fight began. Zipp fought Ash well at first, but ended up being overtaken by Ash later in the fight. Alain ended up using You're My Best Friend on Zipp after using it on Rapp. This led to Tupp declaring defeat for the former Team Skull people. Zipp and the others ended up retreating.
