Hau'oli City certainly lived up to its name; the sun-drenched streets rose up the mountain further back from the fancy villas enjoying the view from the shore. Mathew wandered through the crowded streets with Speckles in his arms, having nearly been stood on several times, as he gazed with fascination through the shop windows and all the things they sold. 

[color=a0410d]“A battle Buffet! Oh I have got to try that. Ah.”[/color] Mathew’s ecstatic smile quickly fell. [color=a0410d]“It’s closed because of the festival this evening as all the staff are waiting the event. Shame really, guess we’ll have to come back tomorrow.”[/color]

He wondered away from the big Mall, it’s notice board proclaiming all the shops and services it offered, and continued to follow the lamp-post signs towards ‘Route 1’. One thing that surprised Mathew about Hau'oli City was the number of green spaces it had which far surpassed that of Jubilife City and each with a neat bordering fence.

The further away from the city centre they got the larger and luscious these green spaces became until it became too much for Speckles. As they passed by another one bordered by fragrant flowerbeds the little shinx squirmed and demanded to be let loose.

[color=a0410d]“Whoah, hey there, okay okay I’ll put you down.”[/color] Mathew chuckled and carefully let his partner down.

Finally let loose (free to spread her terror across the globe) Speckles sped merrily across the grass, charging through patches of longer grass and running circles around other visiting Pokémon with Mathew jogging not far behind to keep an eye on her. So much fun was she having that Speckles careened straight into another trainer and went head over heels next to them.

[color=a0410d]“Oh my goodness. I am so sorry.”[/color] Mathew apologised to the trainer, casting a fascinated look at their shuppet hovering nearby. [color=a0410d]“She just gets a bit too excited sometimes, are you okay?”[/color]
