Umaro's Dash, Relics & Unequipping All

The Kappa scene is actually a "battle event", which C1 handles (much like how C0 handles normal event execution), but is stored in the D0 bank.

There is some documentation here regarding the battle events:

As for the exact byte(s) to edit to skip the Kappa scene, I can't remember
(I had to remove it as well) but this would be the battle event in question:
D0/981A: 21 AA (D0/AA21) Gau is fed some Dried Meat?

Also, you would not use an 'FD' byte to bypass it, that's used for normal event data only.
I think it might be 'FF' used instead (FF = End), to end/cut off the battle event script before it goes into that part of the scene where it does the map change, music change, and loads the Imp sprite - at least that's how I think I managed to get rid of it... I do remember it was a bit tricky and trial and error at first until it was removed successfully without any hiccups.

Battle event data is kind of a b*t*h to look at and work with & test or else I'd give you the exact answer of which bytes to change, but hopefully this'll help out some.
