Earlier today, I had some free time to play and spent it by going to the Trainers' School. I had enough time to defeat the trainers I needed to fight there. Then, I made it to Hau'oli City and saved after visiting the Tourist Bureau.
This afternoon, I continued looking around Hau'oli. I went to the apparel shop and salon to change my character's appearance a bit. I bought him a new shirt and some capri pants since I liked them way more than the default shorts. While walking in the patches of grass, I fought a few wild Pokemon, and even caught a Furfrou. I started collecting Totem Stickers, too.
Eventually, Hau and I came across a couple of Team Skull Grunts. I fought one of them and defeated his Zubat with no problems. Shortly after that, I had a battle with Ilima, who was a little more challenging. I had to switch out my Litten since it was taking too much damage from Yungoos's Tackle. My Comfey & Lapras helped me win that fight.
Next, I made it to Route 2. I battled a couple trainers, then went to the cemetery. After that, I checked out the new Big Wave Beach, where I defeated another Team Skull Grunt.
