The player's house is in the center house in a townhouse type dwelling in Vaniville Town. The player has just moved here from a [[region]] far away. The {{kal|Grace|player's mother}} lives here, and is usually cooking something in the kitchen. This is where the player receives a [[Town Map]], and the first change of clothes. The house has two stories; the top floor is the player's bedroom, complete with a bed, TV, [[Wii U]], [[PC]], a mirror where the player changes out of their pajamas at the beginning of the game, and a few drawers. The player's PC was given by their dad, and it contains Adventure Basics.
 
The first floor is the kitchen, living room, and mom's room. The kitchen has a pot on the stove and a sink, while the living room has a large, curved, flat screen TV upon a mantle, a fireplace, and a couch; the player's mom's {{p|Fletchling}} stays in the living room. The last room is the player's mom's room, this room containing a window, bed, china closet, and a night stand with a picture.
 
After entering the [[Hall of Fame]] and the Parade in [[Lumiose City]], the player returns here. The outside consists of a stone path to the center of Vaniville Town, with the player's mom's {{p|Rhyhorn}} sleeping on a mat with a beach ball. The house property is surrounded by a brick wall, with the entrance to Vaniville on the left and the player's [[rival]]'s house on the right. There is a mailbox on the wall. The pillars that open the wall to the path have Poké Balls on them.
 
===Serena/Calem's house===
Serena/Calem's house is also two levels. The first level is the living room, with a table, china cabinet, and TV. There is also a kitchen with a stove, sink, refrigerator, and a few cabinets. Upstairs is the second level, which contains Serena/Calem's room. There is a bed, mirror, TV, desk, and a bookcase. The house is to the right of the player's. It is the last house on the right part of the row.
 
The outside is a stone path leading to the center of Vaniville. The property is surrounded by a brick wall, with the player's house in the left and the boundary of Vaniville Town to the right. There is a mailbox on the wall. The pillars that open the wall to the path have Poké Balls on them.

==In the anime==
[[File:Vaniville Town anime.png|thumb|250px|Serena's home at Vaniville Town in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Vaniville Town is the [[hometown]] of {{an|Serena}}, her [[mother]] {{kal|Grace}}, and her [[rival]] {{an|Shauna}}. The town first appeared briefly in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where it started off at Serena's home while she was woken up by {{p|Fletchling}} in her bedroom. It appeared again in the [[XY002|next episode]], where Serena was forced to train for {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing under the watchful eye of Grace, though the Rhyhorn kept jumping around and throwing Serena off. Later, Serena and her mother watched the news on TV about a [[Ash Ketchum|boy]] and a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]]. In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Serena's home reappeared as she chose which [[clothing|attire]] when she headed to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab to choose her first Pokémon.
 
Serena's home reappeared in several other episodes, where her mother, Fletchling, and Rhyhorn were seen cheering for Serena as she competed in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

==In the manga==
[[File:Vaniville Town Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Vaniville Town in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Vaniville Town first appeared in ''[[PAXY01|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]''. It is the hometown of {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}}, as well as their friends {{adv|Shauna}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Trevor}}. As a child, X had won the championship of a Junior Trainer Tournament, causing him to receive a lot of attention from the media. Eventually the pressure of being stalked by reporters and paparazzo led to X locking himself into his room, refusing to come out, despite Y's constant attempts to make him do so.
 
Worried about his friend, Trevor had called [[Professor Sycamore]] for help, and he had agreed to send him a set of the three Kalos [[starter Pokémon]], hoping they would cheer X up. However, as soon as the package containing the starters and [[Pokédex]]es arrived, {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} suddenly appeared in the middle of the town and started fighting each other, destroying the whole town. During the chaos, Trevor lost {{p|Fennekin}} and one of the Pokédexes, Shauna lost her {{p|Furfrou}}, and [[Team Flare]] attempted to steal X's [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]]. X and his friends survived the disaster, and, with their hometown in ruins, set off on a journey together.
 
Later it was revealed that Team Flare, in order to hide the truth about the fight between the two [[Legendary Pokémon]], had made up a cover story about an unexplained explosion destroying Vaniville Town, and imprisoned every single citizen of Vaniville Town at [[Team Flare Secret HQ|their headquarters]] in [[Geosenge Town]] to prevent them from outing the truth to the world.
 
At the end of the {{chap|X & Y}}, the quintet returned to Vaniville, and Y tearfully reunited with [[Grace (Kalos)|Grace]]. Three months later, X moved into a newly-built house in Vaniville, and thus removed the tent from Y's {{p|Rhyhorn}}.

==Trivia==
* Vaniville is the only hometown of a [[player character]] that {{Ash}} does not visit in the anime.
