Nanu found a runty Litten in a garbage can outside of the Po Town Police Department. Despite being tiny, the Litten was ready to fight the cop to the death over ยผth of an old hot dog it had found in the trash. Nanu decided to take it home, where it immediately tried getting into a fight with all of his Meowths.
Nanu named the scrappy Litten โMakoaโ, an Alolan name meaningย โbold/fearlessโ.
Despite his humble origins, Makoa is now enormous and definitely hasnโt lost his gut instinct to fight anything that moves.
Ree has snuck into the police station to play with the Meowth. Business as usual from the little champ.
Nanu pauses mid-nyarth, having not anticipated visitors that late in the afternoon. Oh well, he wasn't about to stutter or make up some bullshit excuse just to save face- Too much damn work and energy he did NOT have the reserves to spare.
"If it ain't the Champ... The family can never get enough pets or chances to get into mischief, so grab a churu-pop container and start giving 'em all treats. They'll probably swipe something offa you if you don't hop to it," he warns, removing the massive plush Alolan Meowth head accessory and dusting it off.
He wasn't about to go snooping around where he wasn't wanted, but Ree seemed a bit- What was the word...
Displaced.
He'd heard that young Guzma had abandoned Team Skull after that whole business with the Aether Foundation, but he still saw a whole bunch of the regular crew hanging around (especially since they had nowhere to go and literally nothing else to do). Plumeria insisted that Guzma just 'needed some time to get his shit together' and then they'd all terrorize the elderly with their stereos and smartphones put on maximum volume settings.
"On the mend, huh?" he muses aloud, not directly questioning if the kid was alright, but noting that they were far from fully healed. He silently refrained from firing up a smoke in the blonde's presence, Nanu was fine committing to a slow death one box a week, but he knew better than to do such around someone with a compromised immune system.
"What was that, Tsukiko...? Did you hear it too? It almost sounded like some really SMALL and TINY little child that can barely reach my ankle was tryin'a talk massive amounts of shit, or somethin'? Huh-"
Nanu inserts his pinky finger into his left ear, twisting the digit around slowly, then checking the nail for any impacted wax or dirt. He wipes his hand off on the back of his uniform pants, then yawns in a tired fashion.
He's only gotten to enjoy four naps today, so he's falling behind.
"You kids sure got a lot of energy... Why don'cha go move on down to Kukui's place, we'll see how long it takes him before he snaps and breaks his 'Good job, I sincerely acknowledge your effort' persona."
Severely updated Nanu's bio, he's kinda piecemealed from my own takes + SuMo anime lore:

-Biography-
Kato grew up an only child to a single mother, who frequently was drunk and/or high, gambled her earnings away at Mah-Jong, and associated with questionable company in front of her young son. She was neglectful at best and abusive, at worst.
He became acquainted with an elder gangster by the name of Izo, who provided the boy with food and a place to stay when Katoโs mother was entertaining gentleman callers or taking drugs. Izo quickly became a surrogate father figure to Kato and introduced him to the life of a made man, allowing the young boy to accompany him during loan collections and small-time business operations- such as running numbers, ferrying contraband, and recruitment. Izo arguably turned a blind eye to Katoโs obvious idolatry, but remained an important figure in his life.
Kato was vastly unhappy with his current lot in life and severely emotionally unbalanced from his experiences, so it didnโt take long before he felt trying to play by societyโs rules was something he just couldnโt achieve. Other than pickpocketing and selling information, he also engaged in forgery, smuggling contraband, and break-ins of stores and residences- then primarily functioned as an enforcer in his own street gang, yet remained uninitiated with any one criminal organization due to being a useful information broker. He had a mixed reputation in the underworld due to being rather hit-and-miss in terms of loyalties in the past. Since then, heโs kept a strong network, especially with Giovanni of the โnow defunctโ Team Rocket.
In adulthood, heโd since fully dedicated himself to Interpol after being offered a deal to escape jail time if he served as a โpsywar spookโ. He excelled at unconventional warfare and had a knack for digging out peopleโs motivations and hidden insecurities, being able to effectively read body language and speech patterns, then combining that with data gleaned from their records (or the targetโs word of mouth sharing of personal details). His codename was 000, or ใใใ.
He directly oversaw agents such as Looker and discovered Anabel alongside him in an event ten years prior to SuMo.
Tapu Bulu chose Kato as an Alolan Kahuna and he took the responsibility willingly, after having resigned from Interpol due to their exploiting Fallers to lure and track Ultra Beasts (which resulted in numerous deaths, including one unnamed Faller who was killed by Guzzlord). He does not get along that well with the other Kahunas save for Acerola, who he treats like his own daughter.ย
Nanu genuinelyย despises the way the League is run currently, actually displaying a lot of empathy for Guzma and his Team Skull lackeys- As most of the recruits are simply bored island natives who still think that 80s and 90s era trends of delinquency are the โepitome of coolnessโ, thus are mostly harmless. He does question Guzmaโs methods at times, but recognizes a lot of his younger self in the other male, seeing a person with passion and spite-fueled motivation to make something of himself in the world and carve out his unique place.
Have you ever wondered who the hell Agent Lookerโs boss is? Do you like old men who are perpetually Doneโข with everything? Did you see or readย Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy like, five times- Or just really enjoy the Kingsman franchise?

Just making a bit of an update here too: I just started taking Lexapro this week, so Iโve been having really bad on and off moments of headaches and nausea.ย
I apologize to those I owe starters and replies, I should have maybe went on semi-hiatus until my body adjusted, but I didnโt think the side effects would be this bad.
Hopefully things will be back to normal next week.
โRemember that using your voice and body language aggressively when confronted by an assailant has a eighty-percent success rate of the attacker fleeing without resorting to violence. And if that doesnโt work, then thatโs what theseย babies are for-โ Nanu explains, handing his niece a can of Sabre Red police grade pepper spray and a high voltage taser.
