For tourists, it's the city that the PokeAirlines stop to, and is the location of Alola's best rated hotel resort for them to stay.

Meanwhile, those who live in Alola, continue with their day-to-day activities, whether it be fixing their hair at the salon, buying that all important item at the Shopping District, or even catching a ride with the Licensed Riding Pokemon to help with some side jobs, their day-to-day lives go on. For some kids? This is the start of their Alola Island challenge. What kinds of adventures await these characters? Only one way to find out!

⚠ This city is known as the home base! It's the place where all the characters live at once. You can live within your own house as an Alolan from here, or if you're from overseas and have family members here, you can stay with them as well. But for most people from overseas, they'll be staying at The Sun and Moon Hotel Resort. You'll start off with a few Pokeballs (around 5), but of course, you'll be able to purchase them at the appropriate shops.

Feel free to start off however you prefer! If you want to stay at the hotel, you'll just have to check in with your name, and they'll give you your rooms to stay in. Otherwise, Alola is your Cloyster - feel free to explore and do stuff around! You can travel to any and all places listed.

Areas of Interest:




The Hau'oil City Shopping District & Mall

The bustling center of the city, where you can get everything from fashion items to popular treats to eat.

You can find anything you'd practically want between the open-air stalls, the mall, and even some of the full sized shops all around the city! You can find anything and everything in this city's market!

The Alolan Apparel shop is located to the west of the Tourist Bureau. It sells fashion items, offering tops, bottoms, socks, and hats. It's run by a few fashionistas, while eccentric and energetic, they're all pretty nice people. Gracidea, on the other hand, is another clothing store in site the mall. They offer more expensive, yet more popular wear and offer more of the latest trends.

The Salon is a cute place for people to cut, and dye their hair. If you decide to pop in to do that, just be prepared for a nice conversation with the hairdressers.

The Battle Buffet is located in the center of the mall's upper level. People are allowed to eat a variety of meals, or also battle while they dine. They can battle against the staff, or with other fellow Pokémon trainers! Don't be surprised how much excitable it gets around there during lunchtime!

The Masalada Shop is one of the most popular chain of food stores in all of Alola! Masaladas themselves can be bought in a variety of different flavours, for both you and your Pokémon. When you have a chance, give it a try!

Aina's Kitchen is another restaurant with a casual vibe. They offer a bar for drinks like coffee, or Pinap Juice. It's run by Abe, a kind old man ready to listen and help those in need.

The Alola Tourist Bureau is located in the Shopping District, next to the apparel shop. It exhibits a promotional video of the Alola region and hosts plenty of local goods and souvenirs.

The Rotomrolla store, is inside the mall, where one can buy the coveted Rotomrolla, now for a fair price in the market. The staff there will help you set it up; (turning it on, helping you with apps, etc.)


Other Locale



Alola TV

The Alola TV station has been the main television production and broadcasting hub in Alola for the past 55 years. The facility has several film studios and rehearsal studios, and is surrounded by large open spaces ideal for larger production sets. Alola TV employs many people from directors, camera operators, and makeup artists to actors and actresses.

It's the place for many productions of shows, and even airs some shows that are produced from other regions, like Unova and Kalos! It even airs that one popular show! You know the one. Yes, that one! Some celebrities from other regions even travel to Alola to come here to be part of some television and movie productions!

Sometimes people audition for roles for upcoming episodes of shows and movies, so if you think you have the talent, you can try and audition! People also gather to watch movies and shows together in the building, for a nice past time.

The Thunderbolt PokeRiders service center, near the heart of the city is the place where you can rent out one of many rideable Pokemon. They're partnered up with Aether Paradise, meaning the list of Pokemon they have available to rent is massive; they even branch out to other parts of Alola. You can visit their center rent one Pokemon of your choice to ride across Alola, or if you have a device like the Rotomrolla, you can download their app to rent out a Pokemon. All you have to do is provide your name and current location, and they will send it to you via in-Pokemon transfer (meaning, the Pokemon will be given your location, and will race to your location, as you've entered it). You can rent up to three Pokemon, and there are a variety of Pokemon that can even Surf, or move heavy objects in your path.

The Hau'oli City Hall is located in the Shopping District, south of the local Pokémon Center. Its motto is "Serving the city's every need!". It's a Alolan-Government type building where clerks working here deal with the process of moving to the region, amongst other things.

There is also the Hau'oli Police Station is located in the Shopping District, on the way to the Marina. The police(may or may not be competent) are there for everyone's needs, to help stop... certain troublemakers from causing a ruckus.

And of course, there is the Hau'oli Beachfront, a popular spot where locals like to gather to swim, play in the sand, and even to relax and bask in the sunlight. Even people from other towns come to Hau'oli City to visit this beach.

(???) Building under construction

A little bit north within the city, you may find there is a new building of some sorts that is under construction. The peculiar thing about it is, no one in the Alolan locale has any idea of what this building might be, beyond rumors. So, what exactly is being worked on? You can visit, but for safety reasons, it's advised you stay at a watching distance.

The Pokémon Center

A cozy, familiar building of red, the Pokémon Center, lying in the heart of the city. It is here for trainers to relax, and to heal upPokémon, free of charge. Pokémon Centers consist of one large room. The nurse's counter is in the center of the building. On the right is a PokéMart counter, staffed by one or two attendants depending on the Pokémon Center. On the left is the Pokémon Center Café, where people can purchase a drink.

It also features a board, where anyone can pick up a part-time job request, or can assist anyone with what they request on the board. So, for those who are looking for part-time work, can pick up one of the many tasks that people have posted up on there. They offer awards like money, or valuable items! Rumor has it, people have found rare Pokémon while on site for work too.

⚠ You can pick up one of these optional missions listed. Missions can only be done once, to be claimed by a single player. To claim a mission, please post in the OOC, with your claim. You'll only get the award once you completed the mission. But, you are allowed to JP with other players, to complete the task together, and all involved will receive the same award. If you see a symbol like this ♻, it means that the mission can be continuously claimed and cleared by everyone.





Route 1



Pokémon that can be found and caught:




East of Hau'oil is Route 1, a beautiful path filled with flora connects Iki Town at its north end to Hau'oli City. It is bordered by Melemele Sea in the southeast; the southern half of the route is also known as the Hau'oli Outskirts.

Key Areas:

Professor Kukui's lab

Professor Kukui is the Pokémon Professor of Alola, with his lab sitting neatly in the southern Hau'oli Outskirts, Woo! His lab remains open for different types of Pokémon to peer in and out, and guarded closely by his faithful Rockruff.

⚠ If you want to attempt the Alolan Island Challenge, this is important! If you want to do the Island Challenge, this is the place to go where the Professor will give to you, an Island Challenge Amulet! This is for Trial captains and for the rest in charge to recognize your status as an Island Challenger. You won't be able to attempt the challenge without one!




Melemele Sea

Pokemon that can be found and caught (fishing only):



Southeast of Route 1, you'll eventually reach the Melemele Sea. The eastern part of Melemele Sea makes up the majority of the location. It has two islands, one of which lies east of Route 1's Hau'oli Outskirts beach. The western part of Melemele Sea is smaller than the eastern part. It has an isolated beach area at the base of the mountain that houses Ten Carat Hill. This is also a good, quiet place to fish for most fishers, so you might spot some here and there. There's a hut nearby called the Fishermen's Guild, a place where fishers come and gather for group fishing, and discussions!




Ten Carat Hill

Pokemon that can be found and caught:




West of the Professor's Lab is Ten Carat Hill, a great hill formed by the activity of an underwater volcano. It is famous for the hollow in its middle that is open to the air. The cave part of Ten Carat Hill is a linear path connecting the Route 1 entrance to the Farthest Hollow. There is a second exit to a cliff overlooking the Farthest Hollow too. As the name implies, the Farthest Hollow is the deepest part of Ten Carat Hill, which is a small clearing with patches of grass, connected by a path from the cave. It's a good place for an adventure; to go hiking through it's many tunnels... but what will you find? Only one way to find out!

⚠ Oh and, watch out for Onix. There are a few in there, but they're extremely territorial. Not very friendly Pokemon.




The Alola Trainers' School

A separate eastern path from Route 1, instead of leading back to Hau'oil, will lead you to the Alola Trainers' School. Young Alolans study here to become well rounded Pokemon Trainers! Alongside the school, there is a nice courtyard for all sorts of activities like sports, or even Pokemon Battles.

⚠ There are also many... odd mysteries or rumors about the place. Especially at night... could it be... haunted?

☀Stage Two Part One: The Giant Pokemon
Verdant Cavern



Stage Two, Part One start Date: June 9th, 9:00 am.
Stage Two, Part One end Date: June 12th, 7:00 p.m.


​

Welcome, trial challengers, to the location of the first trial: The Verdant Cavern. Deep within the mountains that make up the most of Northern Melemele Island, one of the most notable locations known as the Verdant Cavern can be found. No one has ever been exactly certain of how the Verdant Cavern came to be, whether by natural causes or the Pokemon that have lived there over generations, but it is still one of the most naturally beautiful places on the island. Verdant Cavern is as its name suggests, a cavern within the mountains, but what makes it so unique is its size. A series of small dirt bridges, ledges, rocky mounds, and plenty of burrows from the Pokemon that live here, make up the inside of the cavern. The Pokemon here can get territorial, so it's best to watch for any burrows or holes in the ground to make sure one doesn't get to close. To reach this place, all you have to do is go north from Hau'oli City, and follow along Route 2.

⚠ Each trial is hosted by a Trial Captain. Before entering this cave, you'll be greeted by the Trial Captain, Ilima, who will give you the details of his trial.

Trial Details: All you have to do in this trial, is reach the Totem's Den, where you'll be able to seek your prize: The Normalium Z , a Z-Crystal. But, you'll have obstacles along the way: namely, the Yungoos who live there, will attack and challenge you on sight. By any means necessary, you must find a way to travel through the cavern's maze, getting past any wild Yungoos you see. Once you get past the cavern, eventually you'll reach the Totem's Den, where you'll be challenged by the leader of the wild Yungoos: Gumshoos... a The Totem Pokemon.



Upon a successful completion of defeating the Totem Pokemon, you will complete the trial, and finally be able to obtain your reward: the Normalium Z!

There are wild pokemon for capture in this cavern, but, as rules say: you will not be allowed to capture any wild Pokemon until after you complete the trial.




Route 2


Pokémon that can be found and caught:




North of Hau'oil is Route 2, located on the western coast of Melemele Island. Route 2 is a long stretch of worn dirt and grass paths that connect Hau'oli city to the Verdant Cavern further North, and leads to the Hau'oli Cemetery. Because the route is so long, and there are no other settlements until one either goes back to Hau'oli or makes the trek around the central mountains back towards Ikki Town, Route 2 has a remote Pokemon center located on the north western coast of the island in order to tend to those traveling trainers and islanders.

Key Areas:

The Berry Fields



A gentle old man known as the Berry Master owns this field: it's where he grows and produces fresh berries for Alolan citizens, all over the region.




The Hau'oli Cemetery

Pokemon that can be found and caught:



Melemele Island, while only the third largest island in Alola, it is the location of some of the oldest settlements and most well known places and structures in the region. Many know Melemele as a place of beginning where many young islanders begin their island challenge, but it is actually because of this that Melemele Island is known as 'The Gathering Place'. The people and Pokemon share their lives together on Melemele, gathered together to live beside one and other, and in the Hau'oli cemetery they have also shared their graves for generations to come. The Hau'oli cemetery is a sacred place for Alola where both humans and Pokemon are buried, where all generations and all walks of life can gather in the heart of Melemele to celebrate life and pay their respects.
