Ancient Poni Path (Japanese: ポニの古道 Ancient Poni Path) is a location on Poni Island in Alola, connecting to Poni Wilds in the west, Poni Breaker Coast in the south, Vast Poni Canyon in the north, and Poni Grove in the northeast. Hapu's house is located in this area.

Geography

Ancient Poni Path is a small seaside area on the southern coast of Poni Island. Most of the area is covered in dirt roads, although there's some tall grass growing near the shoreline. Hapu and her grandmother live in a house near the entrance, sustaining themselves with the crops grown next to the house. Several ruined stone walls stand near the Poni Grove entrance.

Ancient Poni Path in the anime

Ancient Poni Path first appeared in That's Some Spicy Island Research!, where Hapu was shown having a Poni radish farm there. When Ash and his classmates later passed by the farm and saw Hapu's Golurk picking up radishes, Ash tried to take a closer look, only for Hapu to have Golurk attack him and accuse him of stealing her radishes. Although Ash denied having stolen anything, Hapu refused to believe him, leaving Ash with no choice but to battle her. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash chose to use Pikachu against Golurk, having him use Iron Tail on the Automaton Pokémon's leg. However, when Pikachu attempted to repeat his move, Golurk grabbed Pikachu and slammed him into the ground, before using High Horsepower and defeating Pikachu.

Later, Nurse Joy revealed that although Hapu's parents live elsewhere, Hapu herself has refused to leave the farm.

In Showdown on Poni Island!, Ash went to Hapu's house to challenge her to another battle, only to find out she wasn't home. From the bypassing Nurse Joy, he learned that Hapu had gone to the Ruins of Hope.

In Run, Heroes, Run!, Mallow, Lillie, and Sophocles visited Hapu's farm to have her taste test Mallow's new radish cookings.

In Memories in the Mist!, Ash and his classmates helped Hapu at her farm chores, until the area was unexpectedly covered in Tapu Fini's mist, causing Ash, Mallow, and Lillie to get separated from the others until the mist was lifted.

Ancient Poni Path appeared in Battle in Vast Poni Canyon. Sun and Hapu passed by there while on their way to Vast Poni Canyon. As they traveled, a wild Crabominable that Hapu defeated at the Seafolk Village followed them in hopes that Hapu would allow it to join her team. As she already had a team of Pokémon she was raising, Hapu rejected Crabominable's request and suggested it join Sun instead, which it reluctantly agreed to.

Trivia

  • If the player talks to the Sudowoodo in Hapu's house, it will exclaim, "Lies!" This is a mistranslation, as in the Japanese version, it will say the first part of its Japanese name (Usokkie), "Uso", which can be translated as "lie".
