>What's even there to love??
He's cute and he doesn't bother me like the other friendly rivals like hau would rather be your friend than your rival and that's fine by me cause what is he rivaling me in, the island challenge isn't a competition and there is no pokemon league (yet). We battle for fun cause the island challenge is supposed to be fun. I like hau because he's not trying to be something he's not unlike hop who acts just like hau but keeps trying to assert that he's your rival you two are in direct competition but he doesn't act like he's competing against you even though story wise he should be the most competitive rival given the circumstances
