Vaniville Town!

Vaniville Town is the players new home at the beginning of their adventure! The start of the players journey waits just past the ornate town gates.

Santalune City

After leaving Vaniville Town, the first populated location players will visit is Santalune City. It's a lovely city, easily identifiable by the large fountain at the center of town. It's also home to the Santalune City Gym! Keep an eye out for Alexa, who will guide you toward the Gym, where her younger sister, Viola, is the Gym Leader. Look out for people quickly dashing about on Roller Skates! Alexa is a journalist who works in Lumiose City and travels all around the world for her job.

Santalune City Gym

Pokémon Gyms reflect the particular traits of their Gym Leaders and the Pokémon type those Leaders prefer. The dimly lit Santalune City Gym, where Viola presides, is constructed from web-like threads. The exterior of the Santalune City Gym doesn't reveal much of the true nature of the Gym and its Leader.

Litleo: The hot-blooded Litleo is always ready for a good fight! Its mane blazes with heat during battle, burning hotter and hotter the stronger its opponent.

Flabébé: Another newly discovered Fairy-type Pokémon, Flabébé clings to a flower early on, and then cares for it for its entire life. Because of this, Flabébé may be found holding flowers of different colors.

Scatterbug: The Bug-type Scatterbug resides mostly in forests and wild plains. After Scatterbug has reached a high enough level, it will evolve into Spewpa.

Spewpa: Spewpa is the middle Pokémon of this evolutionary chain. With enough experience gained from battle, Spewpa will eventually evolve into Vivillon.
