As Jude travels through the Santalune Forest, he can only hope that David and Leia made it to Hoenn and Unova alright, as well as wonder if everyone else is alright. Thanks to learning how to catch Pokemon from Serena, Jude was able to catch Bunnelby, Caterpie, Fletchling, and Panpour. Jude's hoping that Vera has a place on the ship to put them all, if it's not destroyed yet.

After making it to Santalune City and restoring his team, Jude heads over to the Gym. From what he was told, the League requires Trainers to win eight Gym Badges. Jude enters the Gym and after sliding down on a rope, lands on a giant spider web. This gives Jude the impression that Gyms have a certain theme based on their type. After traversing this web, he manages to meet the Gym Leader, Viola.

"That determined expression… That glint in your eye that says you're up to the challenge…" Viola said, observing Jude. "It's fantastic! Just fantastic! Is this your first time challenging a Gym?"

"Um... Yes." Jude answered with a nod.

"Fantastic! Whether it's the tears of frustration that follow a loss or the blossoming of joy that comes with victory… They're both great subjects for my camera! Fantastic! This'll be just fantastic! Now come at me! My lens is always focused on victory—I won't let anything ruin this shot!" Viola snapped a shot as she sends out Surskit.

"Go, Fletchling!" Jude said calling out his Pokemon.

"Use Quick Attack!" Surskit skated over and struck Fletchling.

Jude knows that Pokemon are a lot like spirits, so he decided to put faith in his Pokemon. "Use Peck!"

Fletchling strikes Surskit, dealing major damage. Fletchling knocked out Surskit with a Quick Attack of its own, and Viola sent out Vivillon. It was a tough battle, but Jude managed to win.

"You and your Pokemon have shown me a whole new depth of field! Fantastic! Just fantastic! Young Trainer, you… No, it wasn't you alone. You and your Pokemon have shown me a whole new depth of field! Fantastic! Just fantastic!" Viola then gave Jude the Bug Badge and a disk. "Using a TM like that one there lets you teach your Pokémon some new moves quicker than a shutter set to 1/1000 can snap shut! TMs are some of the best gear around. They're point-and-click easy, and you can use them over and over again! Now, the TM that I just gave you is for a move called Infestation. Use it, and it'll be impossible for your opponent to flee from battle! Now then, can you zoom in a bit to check out the tent behind me? Take the stairs that you find beyond it, and you'll be back up to the entrance faster than a flash! This Gym is only the first. Just seven more to go, but I know that you'll make it!"

Jude nods at this. "Thanks, Viola. I won't let you down!" Jude said as he left the Gym for the next one.
