❄️Tapu Village

Tapu Village is the gateway to Mount Lanakila, the highest peak in Alola, still closed. Workers tell you that Professor Kukui is having Alola’s first Pokémon League built there. At the Pokémon Center, there is a trade: an Alolan Graveler for a Haunter. It holds a Rockium Z.

🏠Aether House

West of the village, Route 15 follows the coast to Aether House, an orphanage where children and Pokémon live. A Youngster challenges you with an Elekid, level 30, on the orders of a certain Acerola. The girl from the library then arrives and introduces herself: Acerola is the Ghost-type Captain, and her Trial takes place at the abandoned Thrifty Megamart.

On your way out, you find Lillie struggling with a Team Skull Grunt. Defeat him and his level 33 Drowzee. Lillie thanks you with five Luxury Balls and stays at Aether House during your Trial.
