This is a guide for Inlet Grotto and Poco Path Lighthouse, near the beginning of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
(1 of 2) Follow behind the mysterious Pokémon as it travels through the grotto.

Not far from the grotto entrance, Nemona will shout at your from the exit, all the way up. Keep following the mysterious Pokémon as it slowly marches through the grotto. Feel free to grab any items or catch any Pokémon as you’re traveling. Note that you can’t travel past the mysterious Pokémon.
Deeper inside, you’ll be surrounded by 
Houndour, but the mystery Pokémon will send them scurrying. Trust your newfound friend and continue following them further inside the cavern. Eventually you’ll run into a Level 40 
Houndoom. Don’t worry, you don’t actually need to fight this thing!
Phew, somehow, you manage to escape the grotto. You’ll regain control back at Poco Path, on a ledge that you can jump off to return to where you were before. From here, carry on following the main path east to the lighthouse. As you approach the lighthouse, you’ll be stopped by a Pokémon trainer.
Pokémon Trainer Arven¶
(1 of 2) Arven is the son of the Professor.

Not exactly the scariest opponent, especially after the close encounter with that Houndoom. You can rely on your starter, who might be fairly high Level if you went on a catching spree. If so, blast it with Leafage/Ember/Water Gun, which gains a bonus for being the same type as your starter.
After proving your skills, Arven will give you 
Koraidon’s Poké Ball (Scarlet) or 
Miraidon’s Poké Ball (Violet).
Get up close to the ladder of the lighthouse to climb to the top. Speak to Nemona who’s staring north. Next, go back down the ladder. From here, follow the path northward to the town of Los Platos where Nemona awaits.
If you love catching Pokémon, there are lots of Pokémon in South Province (Area One) before reaching Los Platos. From the bridge across the river, there’s a vast stretch of land if you head east.
