[Blinking, Guzma tilts his head then actually follows her gaze. Oh, shit...right, she hasn't been here to learn he got accepted by the Tapu to be a Kahuna. Scoffing a little, and rubbing the back of his neck (which is only warm because it's hot out, shut up), Guzma just grumbles out a muted huff of.]
Yeah, yeah...'bout time I got recognize as more'n just a nuisance, yo. Though it ain't all it's cut out to be... Tch, ol' man Nanu must've had it easy compared to how often people come up to me, wanting to throw down.
[It's...probably because he, specifically, is a Kahuna now that people want to fight him. Not everyone accepts it, after all, and they constantly challenge his authority and his strength, trying to test if he's "worthy" or not. Not up to them, though...is the thing. If the Tapu themselves gave him their blessing, they can all bitch and moan all they want. But they sure as shit are making his job a hell of a lot harder. It's almost like the idiots are making trouble on purpose...
Gee, that certainly sounds like someone he once knew, doesn't it? Hypocrites.]
...Those morons will get by without it. Was only holding them back.
[Meaning yes, Team Skull is no more, and he's still...unsure how to feel about it. Again, lots of his brothers and sisters accepted it and they still are a big, weird found family of sorts, but others...well. They're the ones he has to beat down not as a Boss, but as a Kahuna now. It's bittersweet, and leaves a really bad taste in his mouth when it happens. He disbanded because it should have been a ways for them to grow and improve themselves just like he did. Guzma means it when he said it was holding them back - they were dummies, but some of them has real skill in a lot of other things, too. One's a fucking cook at Mallow's restaurant, some other two are lifeguards in Hau'Oli and learning up to be official Pokemon Rangers.
They can go well beyond what they could under the moniker of Grunt.]
