Hau is described as a big-hearted boy who quickly befriends the {{player}} once they move to the [[Alola]] [[region]]. He is the grandson of [[Hala]], who is the kahuna of [[Melemele Island]]; and his favorite food is [[malasada]], a famous treat in Alola. One of the villagers in [[Iki Town]], where they live, comments that as a boy, Hau had once witnessed Hala in a rage, which frightened him to the point of tears. Nothing Hala did could comfort him, which he claims is the reason why Hala is "too soft" on Hau. | Hau is described as a big-hearted boy who quickly befriends the {{player}} once they move to the [[Alola]] [[region]].

He | Once the player has chosen a [[starter Pokémon]], Hau will challenge the player using the starter Pokémon weak to the player's choice. Upon losing, he quickly shrugs off his defeat as he says that he is having fun. Hau's happy-go-lucky attitude affects most of his early {{pkmn|battle}}s as he didn't mind losing and just wants to enjoy his adventure. He embarks on the [[island challenge]] at the same time as the player, and completes the challenges at around the same pace. He travels along with the player, [[Professor Kukui]] and [[Lillie]] through Melemele Island. After the player goes through the [[Trainers' School (Alola)|Trainers' School]], Hau brings the player and Lillie to [[Hau'oli City]], where he helps the player upgrade their [[Rotom Pokédex]] with the Poké Finder at the Alola Tourist Bureau. After this, the group of three meet back up and take group picture using Rotom Dex's new feature. While Hau does most of his trials at around the same time as the player, he tends to relax first, preferring to explore cities such as local shops first, often doing his trials and tasks after the player. In Sun and Moon, Hau rides on the boat with the player, Lillie and Professor Kukui to [[Heahea City]] on [[Akala Island]], showing exciting of reaching a new location and wanting to hurry. In contrast to Lillie, he tends to take things less serious. | ||
Hau | Hau occasionally meets up with the player throughout Akala Island, doing the same trials as them. He frequiently asks the player to battles with them, such as in [[Paniola Town]], where he tells them how he wishes to be strong like his grandfather, who has provided him with a [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}} of his own. The two travel to {{rt|5|Alola}} and have another encounter with [[Team Skull]], this time with another member by the name of [[Gladion]]. Gladion defeats Hau in battle, telling Hau that his Pokémon aren't weak, but Hau doesn't tend to take things too seriously, irritating Gladion. Hau meets up with the player again at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], along with Gladion who once again, have conflicting thoughts on Pokémon battles. Hau makes it back to [[Heahea City]] catching up with the main group at [[Professor Burnet]]'s Dimensional Research Lab and walks with the player through [[Diglett's Tunnel]] to meet up with [[Olivia]] for his grand trial. Sometime along the way [[Faba]] from the [[Aether Foundation]] invites Hau to go with the player to [[Aether Paradise]]. Hau invites Lillie with them, who rejects and chooses to watch Hau's grand trial with Olivia instead. At Akala Island's sea port, he seems impressed the man-made island of [[Aether Paradise]] and is excited to talk about it with the player. | ||
On the tour through Aether Paradise, Hau meets [[Wicke]], who recognizes that he is a trial-goer at the age of 11. Meeting up with [[Lusamine]], at the conservation area, he converses with her and the player about how cruel nature can truly and it's the job of the Aether Foundation to protect Pokémon without harming the natural course. Hau is shocked to hear from Lusamine that she is over forty years old. Lusamine makes the quick comment that the right outfit can make someone look much better. Hau makes an off-handed statment that nobody could probably pull off the president's looks, except for Lillie, invoking a non-verbal response in Lusamine. An [[Ultra Wormhole]] appears in front of the group and out comes an [[Ultra Beast]], Hau tells the player to fight and distract {{p|Nihilego|the creature}} as he protects Lusamine from harm. Afterwards, Lusamine tells Wicke to bring them them back on their island challenge and boat them to [[Ula'ula Island]]. | |||
Hau | On the island of Ula'ula, Hau meets up with Kukui and the player at [[Malie Garden]], who tells them that their next trial is on top of [[Mount Hokulani]] at the [[Hokulani Observatory]]. Hau does not seem to recgonize what an observatory is, but is excited to find out. He splits paths with the player, preferring to find other things to do before challenging the trial. He does his trial off-screen, meeting up with the player again at {{rt|13|Alola}}, where they butt heads once again with Gladion. Gladion tells them both that if they know about a Pokémon by the name of {{|Cosmog}}, they should keep it safe at all costs, as it could bring diaster to the Alola region. Hau starts to worry if Lillie is going to be okay. Hau and Lillie stay at the [[Aether House]] for the time being while the player does their trial and saves a {{p|Yungoos}} at [[Po Town]]. While the player is gone, Aether House is raided by Team Skull, Hau manages to win a battle against a {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}, but says that battles he can't afford to lose aren't any fun. Before the player returns, Hau loses a critical battle against Team Skull's Admin [[Plumeria]] when she and her grunts kidnaps Lillie, and is left depressed and in doubt of his own skills because of this. He feels weak for being unable to save Lillie, who in turn, willingly went with Team Skull to protect Hau, [[Nebby]], and any children involved. Gladion over hears this conversation, and berates both Hau and the player for being unable to protect Nebby and Lillie, telling them to go to Aether Paradise with him. | ||
Hau joins the player and Gladion in their attempt to rescue Lillie and Nebby from the Aether Foundation. Although he starts to doubt about himself and at first hesitates to accompany them because he would probably feel like a burden. During the infiltration in Aether Paradise, he is constantly irritated by Gladion's orders and lack of explaining, both constantly end up arguing. He goes with the player to Secret Lab B to learn mroe about Cosmog. Hau manages to take down several {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s with Gladion and the player before reaching Lillie, glad to hear that she is unharmed. He ends up surprised when Lusamine reveals that Lillie and Gladion were her children. Lusamine attempts to open up [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola using the captured Nebby. At this time, Gladion orders Hau to keep [[Guzma]] busy while he deals with the recently arrived {{p|Nihilego}}, but Lusamine and Guzma manage to achieve their objective and escape. | |||
The group takes rest at Aether Paradise for the night, under the protection Wicke. The following morning, Lillie takes on a new appearance, to which Hau compliments her new look. In parallel to Lillie, who wishes to change herself, Hau expresses his intention to hold back the island challenge and train himself with Hala instead. After everything that happened, Hau has realized how weak he is, especially when compared to the player or Gladion. So he must get his act together if he wants to achieve his goals. Hau stops his journey and sets out to train. | |||
When the player is about to enter the {{al|Pokémon League}} building, Hau catches up to them and challenges the player to another battle to decide who will face the league first. This time, Hau takes the fight more seriously and asks the player to use all their strength. Upon losing, Hau reveals that this time he really wanted to beat the player and reaffirms his determination to get even stronger. He finally takes battles more seriously. Hau says goodbye to the player and spurs them on for his Pokémon League challenge. The day after the player becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}, Lillie departs for [[Kanto]] without having been able to say it to the player and Hau, who is devastated by this and is left in tears after Lillie's ship has left. | When the player is about to enter the {{al|Pokémon League}} building, Hau catches up to them and challenges the player to another battle to decide who will face the league first.
