Santalune City was first mentioned by [[Alexa]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', who revealed that [[Viola|her sister]]'s Gym is located in Santalune. However it was only after failing to qualify at the [[Lumiose Gym]], and at {{an|Clemont}}'s suggestion that Ash set his sights on Santalune City in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''

 

Santalune City made its proper debut in ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', when {{Ash}} arrived there to challenge the [[Santalune Gym]] with {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}, he also reunited with Alexa and {{an|Serena}}. Ash, however, lost the match and began training. He returned after a full day of training for his [[rematch]] in ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''. This time, Ash managed to defeat Viola and earned himself his first Kalos Gym Badge, the {{Badge|Bug}}. Ash and his friends left Santalune City in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''.

 

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Santalune is {{an|Tierno}}'s [[hometown]].

==In the manga==

Santalune City first appeared in ''[[PS554|Kangaskhan...Kangascan't]]'', where {{adv|X}} and his friends arrived there. After having almost gotten caught by [[Team Flare]] in [[Aquacorde Town]], {{adv|Y}} presented the group with five rules to protect themselves, but she was interrupted by {{adv|Shauna}} before she could say the fifth rule. [[Viola]] then showed up, introducing herself as the city's [[Gym Leader]], and offered to help the group with their search for answers, as she was in [[Vaniville Town]] at the time of when [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} clashed there. While the rest of the group accepted the offer, Shauna, disgusted by her friends violating the rules Y had just presented for them, went off on her own. The others followed Viola to the [[Santalune Gym]], where X agreed to a quick battle against her while {{adv|Tierno}} and {{adv|Trevor}} helped Y decipher some clues from the photos Viola took at Vaniville. Y then left to look for Shauna, and returned with her just as X won his battle against Viola.

 

During the following night, Shauna sneaked into the room where [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga]] were sleeping, and took out Kanga's [[Mega Stone]] from her pouch. However, her actions were noticed by Y and Viola, who quarreled with her for a moment, until she suddenly pulled out a {{p|Honedge|sword}} and tried to strike Y with it, but Viola took the hit to protect her. The culprit behind Shauna's odd behavior was soon revealed to be [[Celosia]], who had put Shauna under mind control to steal the Mega Stone. X started pursuing Celosia, proclaiming that he'd fight against her even without [[Mega Evolution]]. He was then joined up by [[Shalour City]] Gym Leader [[Korrina]], who used her Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} to help X. After the Mega Stone was recovered, X was able to Mega Evolve Li'l Kanga, who helped Korrina's Lucario to defeat Celosia's {{p|Aegislash}}, forcing the Team Flare Scientist to retreat. Afterwards, Shauna apologized the others for wandering off. Although Korrina was kind enough to give Tierno a pair of [[Roller Skates]], she refused to teach X about Mega Evolution, as he hadn't gone through the appropriate ritual to become a Mega Evolution Successor, and thus, in her eyes, was unworthy to use it. Having made her opinions clear, Korrina then proceeded to storm off.

* Santalune City shares several similarities with [[Viridian City]]; both cities contain the first [[Gym]] the player will encounter on their journey, and both cities connect to three similar routes: [[Route 22]], leading to the badge checkpoints for the [[Pokémon League]]; a route leading to the [[Pallet Town|town]] or [[Lumiose City|city]] where the player can choose a Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]]; and a route which leads to a [[forest]] named after the city. Incidentally, the internal layouts of both forests are very similar to one another.
