Once again, Moon is quite smooth.

Honestly, when I got to this part in the game, I was like, "FUUUUUU- YOU FILTHY SHIPTEASERS!"

For that matter, when Lillie was going on about how she was ready to reconsider being a pokemon trainer, herself, all I wanted to do was go, "OK, here, let me give you a starting pokemon. Is Espeon good for you? She's pink and cute and strong and has a psychic understanding of her master's status and a fierce protective drive of her master. If not, here's my pokedex, pick any you like, I can get more of anything here. Or do you want a full starting batch of six? Espeon's level 12, and I can get you anything under level 20, and we can start your challenge tonight." (That wasn't at the point where I was up to having legendaries, yet.)

Instead, you can't do that because they built up the whole ending to contrive a way for Lillie to leave.

(That said, you're a total asshole to Hau, at that. He's constantly giving you gifts, asking if you'll be his friend and talking about how great it is to be on a smiling journey with his bestest bud, and you don't even say a word in response or change expressions in the least, much less ever do the slightest thing to help him out in return for anything he's done for you...)

Even better, you crush Hau's dream of becoming Kahuna before you even meet him.

To be fair, by fighting him at a title defense challenge that at least means he's beaten his grandfather.
