Ancient Poni Path first appeared in [[SM104]], when a girl named [[Hapu]] was harvesting some daikon in her daikon field, with the help of her {{p|Golurk}} and some cheering by three nearby {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Oricorio|Sensu Style}} {{p|Oricorio}}. After harvesting enough daikon to fit into her {{p|Mudsdale}}'s carry on bag, she gave some broken up daikon to the Oriciorio as a sign of gratitude for cheering her on. It was later seen when {{Ash}} and co. were exploring [[Poni Island]] and came across a Golurk in a field of daikon. Ash went to explore the field, but was told off by a nearby girl named [[Hapu]] who accused him of being the person responsible for recently stealing some of her daikon. She ordered her Golurk to attack Ash with {{m|Flash Cannon}}, only for Ash to dodge and be sent rolling until [[Mallow's Tsareena]] stopped him with one of her feet. Hapu continued to label Ash as a thief, to which Ash denied. Hapu didn't want to hear any excuses, so she prepared to battle Ash, which Ash accepted.

Ancient Poni Path first appeared in [[SM104]], where [[Hapu]] was shown having a Poni {{wp|daikon}} farm there. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} later passed by the farm and saw Hapu's {{p|Golurk}} picking up daikons, Ash tried to take a closer look, only for Hapu to have Golurk attack him and accuse him of stealing her daikons. 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.
Despite [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s type disadvantage, Pikachu managed to hurt Golurk with an {{m|Iron Tail}}. Hapu then understood how he was planning on fighting Golurk, so she stopped Pikachu from attack again, before Golurk slammed Pikachu onto the ground. Golurk soon finished the battle by knocking Pikachu out with one {{m|High Horsepower}}. After Ash's defeat, Hapu told Ash to not come to that place again. Hapu was later shown at the Ancient Poni Path harvesting her daikon and relaxing.
Later, [[Nurse Joy]] revealed that although Hapu's parents live elsewhere, Hapu herself has refused to leave the farm.

* If the player talks to the {{p|Sudowoodo}} in Hapu's house, it will exclaim "Lies!" As well as being a reference to how Sudowoodo pretends to be a tree, this is also notable for being one of the few in-game instances in which a Pokémon has spoken in a human language.
* 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, the first part of its Japanese name (Usokkie), "Uso", which can be translated as "lie".
