Follow this Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon guide to navigate Hau'oli Outskirts, battle trainers like Kevin, Madison, and Natasha, and receive the Rotom Pokedex.
Head west from your house and when you see a path heading south, take it. After speaking with Lillie a little more, follow her east. As you do, assuming you don't just jump straight down the ledge, you'll find another trainer ready to battle.
Trainer Battle: Youngster Kevin
- Inkay (Level 6, Dark/Psychic) - Reward: $120
Now head past Kevin through the tall grass. On the other side you'll find an Awakening. Now feel free to loop around the outside of the grass, or head straight through it to the south. There you'll find a Lass by a sign.
Trainer Battle: Lass Madison
- Yungoos (Level 6, Normal) - Reward: $144
Head directly east to find a Swimmer keen to battle.
Trainer Battle: Swimmer Natasha
- Wingull (Level 7, Water/Flying) - Reward: $168
Continue on south and you'll bump into a large building. That's the Pokemon Research Lab. Loop around to the front door where you'll find Lillie waiting. Speak with her and head on inside. There's a lot of dialogue here, but basically Kukui gives you an upgraded, special Pokedex, with a Rotom inside! Pretty neat. It gives it additional functions and the Rotom can speak with you. After that, you can head on out. It will randomly get dark for a moment. So spooky! Anyway, this is a great point to test out the map that Rotom provides you. You'll see a little red flag marker on the map, denoting a place to go to. If you go north, then west to the flag, you'll meet Lillie on the edge of town. She will decide to give you a tour of the place.
Lillie will show you the Pokemon center first. She'll explain that you can always go to a Pokemon Center to get your Pokemon healed, as opposed to always going back home to your mum. She also points out that you can use the nearby PC to withdraw and deposit Pokemon for your party. Next, she points out the Poke Mart where you can buy items, most notably Poke Balls to catch more of those Pokemon things. Finally, Lillie explains the cafe, where you can go to buy drinks and sometimes other little miscellaneous things will happen.
Here's the stuff this Poke Mart is currently selling:
- Poke Ball - $200
- Potion - $200
- Antidote - $200
- Paralyze Heal - $300
- Awakening - $100
- Burn Heal - $300
- Ice Heal - $100
- Escape Rope - $1000
- Repel - $400
And the cafe's drinks:
- Lemonade - $198
- Moomoo Milk - $198
- Roserade Tea - $198
After you're done checking out all the Poke Center has to offer, head out and head west. You'll reach Lillie again, who will show you the Trainers' School. Follow her in. You'll bump into Kukui again, who will hand you the Exp. Share. 'Red,', I hear you ask, 'is the Exp. Share as broken as it was in Gen VI?' The answer is yes. It's even auto-equipped so no need to put in any effort. Only reason to turn it off is if you want a 'challenge' with no real payoff. :(
Note: Once you're able to ride Tauros, head back to this area to do more exploring. Start from your mother's house. Head west, then take the path south. Jump down the ledge and you should be by the Pokemon Research Lab. Head over to the tall grass to the west and go through it. You'll reach boulders on the other side. Break them down and move on through to reach Ten Carat Hill.
