Outaway Cave (Japanese: ハナレ洞窟 Hanare Cave) is a cave on Durice Island of the Lental region.

Layout

The course starts inside a dark cave with the NEO-ONE illuminating its surroundings. There are many rocky ledges with stalactites and stalagmites, and Crobat and Noibat can be found flying around. Purple portals appear throughout the course from which Gengar appear when illuminated with Illumina orbs. A second cavern follows which is open to the sky at the top. A waterfall plunges down on the right into a river below. The main path follows the stream to the left into a tunnel with Sableye. Rare gemstones are embedded in the walls and ceilings, which will illuminate when a crystabloom in a small cave to the left of the tunnel is activated. The tunnel opens to the last cave with several Rampardos on a rocky ledge, and a lake into which the river empties.

Alternate routes

On research level 3, the split ending to the main path can be activated when two sleeping Crobat are awoken inside the tunnel along the main path. The first Crobat can be woken up with an Illumina orb, while the second can be awoken by using the melody to cause Gengar to pop out of a nearby portal to startle the Crobat awake. The alternate path in the final room can be accessed as the two Crobat will join its other Crobat friends in this room, and thus no longer angering the Rampardos. This split end follows a formation of crystallized groundwater (known as rimstone). This path has a Goodra alongside a Noibat.
The alternate route is accessed automatically on research level 2, and can be chosen over the main path on research level 3. This path diverges at the open second cavern which follows a tunnel on the right side of this cavern. This tunnel contains two fighting Geodude, as well as a stalactite which will fall if three fluffruit are thrown at it. A room full of giant crystals then appears, with Carbink, Sableye, and Mawile. The next cave consists of a small forest as well as ancient ruins. Noibat and Carbink can be found in this final room.
The alternate route's split ending can be accessed post-game. The split occurs in the large crystal room by illuminating the two Carbink and Mawile on research level 3. A Diancie will appear from behind, and illuminating Diancie allows the player to feed the Mawile blocking the splint ending. The splint ending accesses the final cave at a different angle, and a Jolteon will be hidden in the bushes on the right.

Illumina Spot

The Illumina Spot is a long cave with several rooms. The NEO-ONE crosses a narrow rock bridge in the second room with deep chasms on both sides. A Steelix emerges out of many holes in the rocky walls of the cave. An alternate route appears at the end of the route on research level 2. This ends in a room with ancient ruins where a large mural is painted. This mural depicts the five known Illumina Pokémon protecting Lental from a large meteorite, and an unknown sixth Illumina Pokémon obscured in the center of the image.

001	Vivillon	2-3		Two Jungle Pattern Vivillon appear at the end of the alternate route. From research level 3, an Archipelago Pattern Vivillon can be found by throwing an Illumina orb at a hidden crystabloom behind a rock on the left side of the ending of the alternate route.
001	Vivillon	2-3	★★★★	Research level 2+: A photo of the flying Vivillon yields a ★★★★ photo.
020	Magikarp	1-3		Two Magikarp will leap out of the river when a crystabloom near the waterfall is illuminated. Another can be found on the rimstone alternate route when a fluffruit is thrown at a Magikarp hidden behind one of the ledges.
157	Beartic	1-3		A Beartic appears walking on the upper snowy opening of the second cavern.
160	Braviary	1-3		Two Braviary appear in the second cavern. One is initially resting on a ledge.
183	Crobat	1-3		Several Crobat appear flying throughout the route. Two sleeping Crobat in the tunnel on the main route need to be awoken to access the final split of the main route.
183	Crobat	1-3	★★★★	Research level 1, 3: Illuminating the Crobat at the very end of the main route causes it to fold and unfold its wings. Alternatively, throwing a fluffruit at this Crobat causes it to land onto a flat rocky surface. Feeding it a fluffruit will yield a ★★★★ photo.
184	Joltik	1-3		Several Joltik can be seen crawling along the cave's floor and walls throughout the route.
184	Joltik	1-3	★★★★	Research level 3: The split ending to the alternate route can be taken post-game. A Joltik in the forest can be lured towards electrified spikes to the right of the area using a trail of fluffruit. Throwing an Illumina orb causes Joltik to interact with these spikes with electricity. Alternatively, if the Joltik is lured to the Jolteon to the left of the area instead, it will jump on Jolteon's back.
185	Geodude	1-3		Geodude appear throughout the route, some which will be clinging to the cave walls or stalactites.
185	Geodude	1-3	★★★★	Research level 1+: A Rampardos at the end of the main route can be brought towards a Gengar portal with a trail of fluffruit. It will then charge at the portal, causing a Geodude to fall down and get angered. Research level 2+: A stalactite at the first part of the tunnel of the alternate route can be felled using three fluffruit. The fighting Geodude on the left of the path will stop fighting and exclaim. Research level 3: Alternatively, if an Illumina orb is thrown at the farther Geodude (of the two Geodude fighting on the alternate route), it will win the fight and perform push-ups in celebration.
186	Carbink	1-3		Groups of Carbink appear scattered throughout the route. They may occasionally be interacting with other Pokémon depending on the route level, including Glalie, Mawile, and Diancie.
186	Carbink	1-3	★★★★	Research level 2+: Four Carbink can be grouped together at the end of the alternate route by throwing Illumina orbs at the Carbink and the crystabloom. Playing a melody will cause them to dance.
187	Gengar	1-3		Gengar appear through several portals when an Illumina orb is thrown at these portals. Two Gengar can also be seen on the left side of the start of the route from research level 2.
187	Gengar	1-3	★★★★	Research level 2+: A portal close to two Carbink towards the start of the route will cause a Gengar to appear once an Illumina orb is thrown into it. Illuminating Gengar with an orb will then cause it to scare the nearby Carbink. Alternatively, a Gengar will appear out of a portal close to a sleeping Croagunk as the NEO-ONE descends through the second cavern. It will scare the Croagunk if the Croagunk is illuminated with an orb.
188	Noibat	1-3		Noibat can be found flying around at various points in the route. On research level 1, they will only appear if fluffruit are thrown into a small cave to the left of the waterfall, or when a crystabloom to the left of the river in the tunnel is activated. On research level 3, two Noibat will descend into the alternate route cave.
188	Noibat	1-3	★★★★	Research level 2+: Several Noibat can be found at the end of the alternate route. If fluffruit are thrown at them, they will inspect each fruit using sonar. If it is to their taste, it will eat the fruit.
189	Pumpkaboo	3		Pumpkaboo are hidden in different locations along the route. They will flash light from holes in their body if an Illumina orb is thrown at them.
189	Pumpkaboo	3	★★★★	Research level 3: Each of the four Pumpkaboo along the route can be illuminated: one at the start on the left alongside two Carbink, on the far right side of the first cavern, on an upper ledge on the left side before the NEO-ONE descends into the second cavern, and on the left of the start of the alternate route. A Super Size Pumpkaboo will then appear at the end of the alternate route.
190	Croagunk	1-3		Three Croagunk appear on the ledges at the base of the second cavern close to the river. A sleeping Croagunk can be found on the ledge higher up. Another sleeping Croagunk appears at the start of the alternate route.
190	Croagunk	1-3	★★★★	Research level 3: The three Croagunk along the ledges of the second cavern can be interrupted with fluffruit. If they are interrupted in the order: middle, top, and bottom, they will laugh and expand their cheek sacs. This will cause them to float in the air.
191	Drifloon	2-3		Several Drifloon appear flying around various points along the route.
191	Drifloon	2-3	★★★★	Research level 3: The crystabloom at the final part of the main route can be illuminated. A nearby Drifloon will puff up its face with air.
192	Clefairy	2-3		A Clefairy can be found on a ledge in the second cavern close to a crystabloom. On research level 3, there will be three Clefairy around the flower. Two sleeping Clefairy also appear on the main route from research level 3.
192	Clefairy	2-3	★★★★	Research level 3: If the crystabloom close to the three Clefairy in the second cavern is illuminated, the Clefairy will dance. If another Illumina orb is thrown at the crystabloom, the Clefairy will levitate, while dancing.
193	Sableye	1-3		Sableye can be found hiding behind stalagmites in the tunnel on the main route. Several can be found in the crystal room of the alternate route, one which will be sleeping on the right side. Several will be chasing after a Carbink in this room on research level 2 only.
193	Sableye	1-3	★★★★	Research level 2+: A photo of the sleeping Sableye on the alternate route's crystal room will yield a ★★★★ photo.
194	Rampardos	1-3		Two Rampardos appear on a rocky ledge at the end of the main route, while another is found lower down close to a Gengar portal. On research level 2 only, two Rampardos can be found at the bottom of the second cavern.
194	Rampardos	1-3	★★★★	Research level 1, 3: A trail of fluffruit can bring the Rampardos at the end of the main route towards the Gengar portal. It will then charge at the portal.
195	Hydreigon	3		A Hydreigon appears flying down in the second cavern and will fly towards the main route. It will then reappear at the end of the main route. A sleeping Hydreigon appears at the end of the alternate route if the split path is chosen.
195	Hydreigon	3	★★★★	Research level 3: Playing a melody at the end of the main route will cause the Hydreigon to fly towards the lake. Throwing fluffruit into the water will cause if to grab and eat the fruit.
196	Goodra	3		A Goodra appears on the left of the tunnel on the main route. A second Goodra can be found at the end of the main route if the split path is taken.
196	Goodra	3	★★★★	Research level 3: If the rimstone path of the main route is taken, fluffruit can be thrown behind the first ledge of this path to reveal a Magikarp. Throwing Illumina orbs several times will cause it to move along the path towards the Goodra. Throwing an Illumina orb at Goodra will cause it to use its tail to splash the Magikarp away.
197	Mawile	2-3		Mawile appear in the tunnel of the alternate path, as well as the following crystal room. One will be guarding the entrance to the split path. Another Mawile can be found along this split path.
197	Mawile	2-3	★★★★	Research level 3: A Mawile appears alongside two Carbink in the crystal room of the alternate route. Illuminating them and then playing a melody causes the Mawile to dance. Post-game: Alternatively, illuminating the same Mawile and Carbink causes Diancie to appear. Throwing an Illumina orb at Diancie causes it to gleam. The Mawile blocking the entrance to the split ending can then be fed a fluffruit.
198	Jolteon	3		Jolteon appears in the split ending to the alternate route, hiding behind greenery in the forest.
198	Jolteon	3	★★★★	Research level 3: Jolteon can be lured out with a trail of fluffruit. As it approaches a Pumpkaboo on the right of the path, throwing an Illumina orb at Jolteon causes it to discharge electricity. The split ending can only be accessed post-game.
199	Diancie	3		Diancie may appear in the crystal room of the alternate route if the two Carbink and Mawile are illuminated in this room. Alternatively, Diancie will appear in the forest end to the alternate route if Illumina orbs are thrown at the four Carbink, followed by a melody to cause the Carbink to dance.
199	Diancie	3	★★★★	Research level 3: Diancie will appear in the crystal room by illuminating the Mawile and two Carbink in the alternate route. Throwing an Illumina orb at Diancie will cause it to gleam.

LenTalk requests

Request	Description	Research Level Required	Solution	Complete Description	Reward
Crobat Touches Down	I wonder if Crobat would come down to the ground to eat fluffruit. It’s a bit of a clumsy walker, so I doubt it’d land without a good reason...	Level 1, 3	Throwing a fluffruit at a Crobat at the end of the main route will cause it to land onto a flat rocky surface. Feeding it a fluffruit will yield a ★★★★ photo.	Wow! I see you got it to come down to the ground after all. This is a rare sight!	None
Joltik Adjoined	Joltik has a pretty unusual way of feeding itself. If you see one near another Pokémon, make sure you watch closely.	Level 3	The split ending to the alternate route can be taken post-game. A Joltik in the forest can be lured towards the Jolteon to the left of the path by using a trail of fluffruit. Joltik will then jump on Jolteon's back.	That’s it! Joltik feeds on other Pokémon’s static electricity. Nice job getting a shot of it in action.	None
Take a Good, Hard Look	This Geodude sometimes shifts positions, but I’ve never actually observed it moving.	Level 2+	A Geodude can be found clinging onto the rocky wall in the large second cavern. Throwing a fluffruit at it will cause it to start climbing the rocky wall.	I’m sure it wasn’t easy to get this picture. It must have taken real effort! Thank you for your diligent research.	None
Gem Royalty	Sometimes a pack of Carbink will have a princess leading them. I bet you could get a shot of some very happy Carbink if the princess were around!	Level 3	Diancie will appear in the forest at the end of the alternate route if Illumina orbs are thrown at the four Carbink in this room, followed by a melody. Once Diancie appears, hitting it with an Illumina orb will prompt it to create a gem. Once formed, the crystal will disappear, and the Carbink will react and dance to this.	Great work! No doubt about it—those are some happy Carbink!	None
Gengar the Prankster	Gengar keeps popping out of nowhere and playing its tricks! I’m a little worried about that sleeping Croagunk...	Level 2+	A Gengar will appear out of a portal close to a sleeping Croagunk as the NEO-ONE descends through the second cavern. It will scare the Croagunk if the Croagunk is illuminated with an orb.	I knew it! Gengar was up to its tricks here, too. Poor Croagunk... It doesn’t deserve to be picked on like this!	None
Noibat's Refined Palate	Noibat’s got a taste for fine food. See if you can spot the way it shows its gourmet side before every meal!	Level 2+	Several Noibat can be found at the end of the alternate route. If fluffruit are thrown at them, they will inspect each fruit using sonar. If it is to their taste, it will eat the fruit.	That’s right! You can see it using its ultrasonic waves to make sure that fruit is ripe.	Glasses 4 (Sticker)
The Biggest Pumpkaboo of All	Pumpkaboo come in four sizes. I wonder if the largest of them all is here...	Level 3	Each of the four Pumpkaboo along the route can be illuminated: one at the start on the left alongside two Carbink, on the far right side of the first cavern, on an upper ledge on the left side before the NEO-ONE descends into the second cavern, and on the left of the start of the alternate route. A Super Size Pumpkaboo will then appear at the end of the alternate route.	Oho! You caught it on camera! Now that’s what I call a supersized Pumpkaboo!	None
Croagunk Chorus	These Croagunk’s cries each seem to be a specific note. I have a hunch something will happen if they sing in the right order!	Level 3	The three Croagunk along the ledges of the second cavern can be interrupted with fluffruit. If they are interrupted in the order: middle, top, and bottom, they will laugh and expand their cheek sacs. This will cause them to float in the air.	My hunch was right! They seem to be pleased to have croaked out a do-re-mi.	Professor Mirror (Smiling) (Profile Icon)
Drifloon Puffed Up	I saw a Drifloon...I think? There was something weird about it. Like, am I imagining things, or is its head way bigger than usual?	Level 3	The crystabloom at the final part of the main route can be illuminated. A nearby Drifloon will puff up its face with air.	So it WAS a Drifloon! It was just puffed way up! What’s it full of, anyway?	Todd's Wristband (Profile Icon)
Clefairy by Moonlight	At a moonlit spot like this, there’s a good chance you’ll get to see Clefairy floating about.	Level 3	If the crystabloom close to the three Clefairy in the second cavern is illuminated, the Clefairy will dance. If another Illumina orb is thrown at the crystabloom, the Clefairy will levitate, while dancing.	Hey, you saw them! And you got a nice photo out of it, too!	None
Sound Asleep	I found a sleeping Sableye! I bet you’d just love to know where it is, huh? Ha! Too bad!	Level 2+	A Sableye can be found sleeping in the alternate route's crystal room.	Aw, you found it? I bet you already knew where it was before I even told you...	Glasses 5 (Sticker)
Anger Outlet	Rampardos has this one habit—you could call it a specialty, I guess. It’s something you can probably imagine it doing when it’s mad.	Level 1, 3	A trail of fluffruit can bring the Rampardos at the end of the main route towards the Gengar portal. It will then charge at the portal.	Now that’s a mighty headbutt! Hope it doesn’t cause a cave-in...	Speech Bubble 6 (Sticker)
Hydreigon Berserk!	I wanna get a close-up shot of Hydreigon! Think it’d come to me if I gave it a fluffruit? Hmmm, I wonder if it even eats ’em.	Level 3	Playing a melody at the end of the main route will cause the Hydreigon to fly towards the lake. Throwing fluffruit into the water will cause if to grab and eat the fruit.	Whoa! Yup, it definitely eats fluffruit! Time for me to get my own shot of it!	None
Having a Goodra Time	This Goodra seems kind of restless. Do you get the feeling it’s waiting for something to happen?	Level 3	A crystabloom can be found hidden to the left of the path in the rocky tunnel along the main route after the waterfall large chamber. Illuminating the crystabloom will cause the cave to light up, and Goodra will celebrate.	Oh, it was waiting for the Illumina phenomenon to happen! Awww...Goodra’s just the cutest!	Rita (Heart-Eyes) (Profile Icon)
Look My Way	I can’t get Mawile to eat a fluffruit! It gets mad so easily...	Level 3	Several Mawile and Carbink appear in the crystal room of the alternate path. Illuminating the Carbink and the nearby Mawile causes a Diancie to appear. Throwing an Illumina orb at Diancie causes it to gleam. The other Mawile blocking the entrance to the split ending can then be fed a fluffruit. This will only occur in the post-game.	Oh wow, it’s not mad! And it’s even eating that fluffruit. I’m jealous that you got to see this!	Rita's Bag (Profile Icon)
Fur Standing On End	So I can tell Jolteon’s mad in this photo I took, but I dunno why... Maybe it saw something else in there. The air was, like, crackling with tension!	Level 3	Jolteon at the split ending of the alternate route can be lured out with a trail of fluffruit. As it approaches a Pumpkaboo towards the right of the path, throwing an Illumina orb at Jolteon causes it to discharge electricity.	Wait, huh? Its fur was standing up ’cause of a magnetic...field? Is that, like, a field that magnets grow in? Weird, but cool!	None
Myth of the Cave	I think I caught a flash of pink light near all those big crystals. But maybe I just imagined it?	Level 3	Diancie appears in the crystal room on the alternate route if the two Carbink and Mawile are illuminated in this room. Throwing an Illumina orb at it will cause it to emit a bright light. It will then cheer with its arms raised up.	It was Diancie?! Oh my gosh, it’s so gorgeous!	Accessory 10 (Sticker)
