Description
"Hau vs Hop" is a What If Death Battle by LukeTime128. It is his seventeenth What If Death Battle (Season 2 Episode 7). It features rivals Hau and Hop from the Pokemon series of video games and anime/manga.

Disclaimer
In the anime, Hau is portrayed with a Rowlet, so this will be the starter he uses in this battle. Hop doesn't seem to have a canon starter, so he will be given Grookey for the sake of fairness.
