'''Ancient Poni Path''' (Japanese: '''ポニの{{tt|古道|こどう}}''' ''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.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ancient Poni Path anime.png|thumb|250px|Ancient Poni Path in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Ancient Poni Path first appeared in ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', where [[Hapu]] was shown having a Poni radish farm there. When {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} later passed by the farm and saw Hapu's {{p|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 {{AP|Pikachu}} against Golurk, having him use {{m|Iron Tail}} on the [[Pokémon category|Automaton Pokémon]]'s leg. However, when Pikachu attempted to repeat his move, Golurk grabbed Pikachu and slammed him into the ground, before using {{m|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 ''[[SM105|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 ''[[SM107|Run, Heroes, Run!]]'', {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lillie}}, and {{an|Sophocles}} visited Hapu's farm to have her taste test Mallow's new radish cookings.

In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Ash and his classmates helped Hapu at her farm chores, until the area was unexpectedly covered in {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist, causing Ash, Mallow, and Lillie to get separated from the others until the mist was lifted.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
Ancient Poni Path appeared in ''[[PASM23|Battle in Vast Poni Canyon]]''. {{adv|Sun}} and [[Hapu]] passed by there while on their way to [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. As they traveled, a wild {{p|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 {{p|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".
