In the anime

Shalour City in the anime

Ash and his friends first arrived at Shalour City in Origins of Mega Evolution! to challenge the Shalour Gym. There, they met up with Korrina again. They discovered that the Gym was inside the Tower of Mastery, which was located on Mega Evolution Island, which is only accessible during low tide. While waiting to access the island, Ash attempted to master Tierno's rhythmic battle style, but failed to.

During low tide, Ash and the group eagerly entered the Tower of Mastery, where Gurkinn gave them a history lesson in Mega Evolution and mentioned his "Scroll of Secrets", which got stolen by Team Rocket. After retrieving the scroll, Ash and Korrina prepared to start their Gym battle the next day. In Showdown at the Shalour Gym!, Ash defeated Korrina with his unique battling style and earned the Rumble Badge. Afterwards, the group left the city.

Ash and Goh traveled to Shalour City in A Festival Reunion!. While Goh caught himself some Kalos Pokémon, Ash competed in a Battle Festival for the World Coronation Series. Between battles, Ash met back up with Korrina. Both of them were high enough on the rankings to have one single victory to raise them to the Great Class. They decided to battle each other to determine who was going to promote to the Great Class. The battle was tough, but eventually, Ash emerged victorious.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Shalour City first appeared the X & Y arc. While Korrina berated her grandfather for giving X a Mega Ring despite him not being an official Mega Evolution Successor, they were both attacked by Essentia, who was after the secrets of Mega Evolution. Eventually, Gurkinn chose to destroy the Tower of Mastery in order to protect its secrets. He and Korrina subsequently left Shalour City.

In Epilogue, X planned to travel to Shalour City to properly become a Mega Evolution Successor.

Trivia

• A Punk Guy in Shalour City's Pokémon Center references HarmoKnight.
• Although it is not obtainable in X and Y without trading, the Shalour Sable's description says the city is famous for them.
• A Worker in eastern Shalour City mentions he knows a Hiker who likes Ferris wheels who has finally found true love. This may be a reference to Hiker Andy in Nimbasa City in Black, White, Black 2, and White 2.

Origin

Shalour City's real-life counterpart is the city of Saint-Malo. At low tide, it is possible to cross the sea on foot from Saint-Malo to Grand Bé Island, where ancient ruins still stand.
