>>27149230>>27149325Calm down Lilliefag, struck a nerve much?
Not a rival =/= we will literally never battle her, she just wont take a starter. If she did take one, we definitely would have seen it by now. There is no reason to hide it, they weren't afraid to let you know that Hau took a starter.
They're hiding her team (we will obviously battle her at some point at least once, likely later in the game once her story role comes to fruition) because it is either entirely, or partially, comprised of Pokemon that haven't been officially revealed yet. Think anon, think.
The boat scene is you, Hau, and she traveling to the next island for the very first time and obviously they have to make a huge bombastic deal about this, like that "simultaneous first step" you took with your shitter friends in XY's opening.
