Santalune City first appeared in [[PS554]], 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. | |||
At the 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 for 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. | |||

After the Mega Stone was recovered, X was able to Mega Evolve Li'l Kanga, who helped Korrina's Lucario to defeat Celosia's 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.
Trivia
- 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 town or city where the player can choose a Kanto starter 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.
Origin
Santalune City is based on the city of Fontainebleau, home of the nearby Forest of Fontainebleau.
