Alola Route 1

Route 1 (Japanese: Route 1) is a route on Alola's Melemele Island, connecting Iki Town, Hau'oli City, Ten Carat Hill, and . It is bordered by Melemele Sea in the southeast. The southern half of the route is also known as Hau'oli Outskirts (Japanese: ハウオリシティはずれ Hauʻoli City Outskirts).
Hau'oli Outskirts is the location of the Alolan player character's house, Professor Kukui's lab, and the .
==Route description==
This route is broken up into two areas: 
* Route 1 proper (accessible from Hau'oli Outskirts)
* Hau'oli Outskirts (where the player begins)
===Route 1 proper===
There are two paths in this part of Route 1, which both start in Hau'oli Outskirts and lead the up a hill: The eastern path overlooks Kala'e Bay, and the western one starts between the player's house and the nearby Pokémon Center. These paths converge at the top of the hill, south of an entrance to . After they converge, the unified path curves towards a set of wooden stairs on this area's northern edge that allows the player to enter Iki Town.
The player first enters this area on the western path. In , the player enters with Professor Kukui and receives their first partner Pokémon. (In , first partner Pokémon are available in Iki Town.) Until the start of the festival in Iki Town, any wild Pokémon caught in a Poké Ball here will be unable to break out.
Until the player completes Ilima's trial in Verdant Cavern, a gate will block the entrance from Route 1 proper to . Completing that trial allows the player to access Route 3 either from here or from near Verdant Cavern.
An isolated part of this area, which includes a different set of wild Pokémon, is blocked by rocks on its northern edge (near where the paths converge) and by a ledge on its eastern edge. Once the player has completed Hala's grand trial, this part of Route 1 becomes accessible using Tauros Charge.
===Hau'oli Outskirts===
This area of Route 1 is named for its proximity to Hau'oli City, which lies to the west of this area and can be accessed from the northwestern part of Hau'oli Outskirts. That part has a similar appearance to Hau'oli City: It includes a wide, paved road, gates leading to patches of tall grass, and urban buildings (such as the ).
The player's house is located in the northeastern part of Hau'oli Outskirts. The player begins in their room in the house, which (unlike in earlier games) has only one story. The house's rooms and porch open onto the central family room and kitchen, where the player's mother and her Kantonian spend the majority of the game. 
When the player first exits the house and triggers the conversation with Professor Kukui, the Professor brings the player up the western path to Route 1 proper and on to Iki Town. Following the festival in Iki Town, Lillie will bring the player to Professor Kukui's lab, which is on the beach in the southernmost part of this area. The entrance to Ten Carat Hill lies to the west of the Professor's lab, though it requires Tauros Charge to access. Once the player can use Lapras Paddle, they can get to the eastern Melemele Sea from this beach.
The player will receive the Rotom Pokédex from Professor Kukui in his lab. After doing so, the player can access the northwestern part of Hau'oli Outskirts, which includes the first Pokémon Center the player encounters on Melemele Island and the Trainers' School.
In Sun and Moon, after the player receives the Fishing Rod from Lana, a pair of will appear on the beach outside of Kukui's lab. Upon interacting with them, the player sees that they are injured and decides to help them. However, a —their owner—arrives before the player can do anything. She explains that the Corsola must have been attacked by wild . She rewards the player with a Wide Lens for their kindness, before leaving with her Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* In 's catching tutorial, there is no message to indicate that the wild 's is against 's .
* In , in battle, the grass field along the western path mistakenly is treated as plain terrain (rather than grass terrain) for the purposes of and . This grass field and battle background do not exist in Pokémon Sun and Moon.
* In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player can befriend a outside of Iki Town after they learn to catch Pokémon. This depends on how much they play with Rockruff and how it reacts each time, based on a system of "points": a music note reaction is worth 1 point, while a happy face reaction is worth 2 points. When the player first plays with Rockruff, only "Turn to the right" will elicit a positive reaction. After this, the player can alternate turning left and right to earn extra reactions by matching Rockruff, stare at Rockruff to get random reactions, and play peekaboo to get either reaction depending on how long they wait. The reaction shown when initially interacting with Rockruff also counts towards the player's total points. When the player accrues 20 points total, Rockruff will reach its highest state of affection. At this state, playing with Rockruff by staring at it may additionally cause Rockruff to approach the player to be pet.
