Molayne also knows in both the games and the anime, but that's because he's an old friend of Kukui. In the games, Kukui tries to deny the connection even to him, but in the anime, he doesn't deny this secret from him when they're alone.
Don't be too pessimistic. The battle will last until the next episode, and we've seen single-episode 3 v. 3 battles before. So I have full confidence this can be a good battle.
There's also the fact that at the start of the series, Kukui was supposed to battle Ash, but Tapu Koko interrupted the occasion and that battle never happened.
Does anyone else still remember that?
Since Kukui is the final main game opponent in Pokémon Sun and Moon, I've always seen the Masked Royal as the closest equivalent to a Champion that Alola has right now in the anime.
