* Before defeating Viola
:''"Oh, you... You are, aren't you? You're one of the kids who got a Pokémon from [[Professor Sycamore|Augustine Sycamore]], right? That <lead Pokémon> you've got there looks pretty happy. You must be a good Trainer. In that case, get over to the Pokémon Gym. I'm sure my sister will be glad to meet you!"''
 
* After defeating Viola
:''"Oh, you... You are, aren't you? You're one of the kids who got a Pokémon from Augustine Sycamore, right? Would you look at that! You got the {{badge|Bug}}! Looks like I might have a new scoop. To beat Viola at your young age... You really are something, aren't you? Oh! Sorry, I never did introduce myself, did I? I'm Alexa. The Gym Leader you just faced, Viola, is my younger sister. I work as a journalist myself. Here, why don't you take this to celebrate getting your first Badge!"''
:''"If you have an [[Exp. Share]] and you turn it on, all of the Pokémon in your [[party|team]] get [[experience|Exp. Points]], even if they don't appear in battle. I hope it helps you with your {{pkmn|training}}! I work at the big publishing house up in [[Lumiose City]]. Feel free to stop by anytime if you have the next big scoop to share with me!"''
 
'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Lumiose Press}}'''
* First visit
:''"Oh! You're that kid--the one who came to see me! Hey, hey, so tell me... Has that Exp. Share been useful? You haven't forgotten about me, have you? I'm the journalist Alexa. I gather info about what's going on in Lumiose, and then I write it down. I travel the {{pkmn|world}} to gather information, but Lumiose is my real stomping ground. And I don't just know the famous shops. I could tell you exactly how many {{p|Espurr}} are in every one of our alleys! I know everything about this city, so you just come to me if there's anything you ever want to know!"''
* Subsequent visits
:''"Hey, kid! You're back! Good to see you again!"''
* After greeting the player
:''"Do you want to know about Lumiose's hottest spots?"''
::'''No''': ''"OK! Come visit us again!"''
::'''Yes''': (gives a list of the spots to choose from)
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|South Boulevard}}''': ''"That's the boulevard that surrounds the south half of Lumiose City, OK? The most popular shops on it are the {{DL|Lumiose City|Sycamore Pokémon Lab|Pokémon Lab}}, the {{DL|Lumiose City|PR Video Studio}}, and the salon, {{DL|Lumiose City|Coiffure Clips}}. You can reach {{rt|4|Kalos}} or {{rt|5|Kalos}} from there. Or as we locals call 'em... Parterre Way and Versant Road!"''
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|North Boulevard}}''': ''"That's the boulevard that runs around the northern half of Lumiose City, of course. The popular destinations on North are the [[Battle Institute]], [[Hotel Richissime]], and... Oh, {{DL|Lumiose City|Lumiose Station}} to hop on the TMV! If you want to reach {{rt|13|Kalos}}, {{rt|14|Kalos|14}}, or {{rt|16|Kalos|16}}, you can get there from here. But of course, we locals all know them as Lumiose Badlands, Laverre Nature Trail, and Mélancolie Path!"'
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Vernal Avenue}}''': ''"Vernal Avenue is on the south of Lumiose City, and it's packed with specialty shops. In {{DL|Lumiose City|Boutique Couture}}, for example, you can get items that are unique to Lumiose City. {{DL|Lumiose City|Firseur Furfrou}} is the only place that most people will trust with grooming their {{p|Furfrou}}. There's also the {{DL|Lumiose City|Herboriste}} and a ton of little cafés."''
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Estival Avenue}}''': ''"Estival Avenue is a avenue on the south side of Lumiose City with a relaxing atmosphere. You can find popular spots like the {{DL|Lumiose City|Loto-ID Center}}, where people say you can win big, and a café where roller-skating enthusiasts gather. And most important of all... This company right here! You should already know that, though, since you came in today!"''
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Autumnal Avenue}}''': ''"Autumnal Avenue is on the north side of Lumiose City and has a few special shops. Some are really big with the tourists, like the {{DL|Lumiose City|Poké Ball Boutique}}, where they only sell [[Poké Ball]]s--every kind under the sun. Then there's a shop that specializes in juice, the {{DL|Lumiose City|Juice Shoppe}}, which Pokémon all love. And {{DL|Lumiose City|Restaurant Le Yeah}} serves decent food."''
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Hibernal Avenue}}''': ''"Hibernal Avenue is one of the avenues up on the northern side of Lumiose City. It's famous for its three-star restaurant, {{DL|Lumiose City|Restaurant Le Wow}}, which is THE place to be. All the VIPs in Kalos are seen there."''
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Centrico Plaza}}''': ''"Centrico Plaza stretches out around the symbol of Lumiose City, [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. Vernal, Estival, Autumnal, and Hibernal: all four major avenues connect there, at the center and the heart of the entire city. [[Phil the Photo Guy]] is probably a big draw, too."''
::''"Do you know how to get there? Want me to show you the way?"''
:::'''Yes''': ''"OK! Go out of this building and..."'' (player warps to the area asked about)
:::'''No''': ''"If you ever need a guide, don't hesitate to ask me!"''

===={{series|Best Wishes}}====
Alexa debuted in ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'' with her {{p|Helioptile}} and {{p|Gogoat}}. A journalist from [[Lumiose City]], Alexa is a major supporting character in the series. She first met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and returned at various points in Ash's journey through [[Kalos]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.
Alexa debuted in ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', with her {{p|Helioptile}} and {{TP|Alexa|Gogoat}}.


When Helioptile bumped into {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} on [[Harvest Island]], Ash used his {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle it, but Helioptile fired an {{type|Electric}} [[move]], then Alexa arrived with Gogoat, and mentioned that the Helioptile is hers. Since both of Alexa's Pokémon were not native to the region at the time, Ash's Pokédex could not recognize them. Alexa then introduced herself, and mentioned that she came all the way from the [[Kalos]] region to write an article about the [[Grand Harvest Festival]], which was the tradition of Harvest Island.
While covering the [[Grand Harvest Festival]] on Harvest Island, Alexa met Ash and his friends and decided to travel with them. Throughout their journey, she documented various events, including a [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] and a treasure hunt on a deserted island. She also used her {{p|Noivern}} to help defeat {{TRT}}. Alexa later revealed that her sister, [[Viola]], is a Kalos [[Gym Leader]], which motivated Ash to explore that region next. She accompanied Ash to Kalos after the conclusion of ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''.


While there, she learned about a [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] that was going to take place there. When Ash was bumped by [[Rodney]], who became Ash's new rival for the tournament, Alexa comforted him. At the end of the tournament, when Ash had won, Alexa had filmed the tournament, including Ash giving Rodney an apple after he lost. After the tournament was officially finished, Alexa decided to travel with the group.
Upon arriving in Kalos, Alexa directed Ash to her sister Viola's Gym in [[Santalune City]] before parting ways. After reuniting with Ash, she helped him train for his rematch against Viola. Later, Alexa assisted the group during a Team Rocket heist at the [[Ambrette Town|Ambrette Town Fossil Laboratory]] and helped investigate [[Clembot]]'s innocence in Lumiose City. She was also seen watching the [[Gloire City|Gloire City Pokémon Showcase]] and [[Lysandre]]'s broadcast from Lumiose City. In ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', she joined Professor Sycamore in researching newly discovered ruins.


[[File:Alexa magazine.png|thumb|250px|left|A [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]] detailing Alexa's journalism]]
In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Alexa watches Ash's battle again [[Leon]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] alongside {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Cilan}}.
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', she went to an [[Deserted Island (BW135)|island]] with the group which was known to have some treasure. After arrival, she recorded some footage of a sunken ship there and then passed through a gate that took her to some [[wild Pokémon]] that [[evolution|evolved]] from some [[evolutionary stone|stones]]. Continuing onward with a group of three {{p|Eevee}}, she found a secret passageway which led her to the treasure chest. After Alexa found the treasure and got the Eevee to evolve, the Pokémon began to respect her and the group. Afterwards, she left with the group and waved her farewells to the Pokémon.
{{-}}
 
In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' after Alexa and the group arrived on [[Cave Island]], she temporarily left the group and rode on her Gogoat to find something to film. At the end of the episode, she returned to Ash and his friends and as she missed out on a {{Shiny}} {{p|Druddigon}} who lived on the island, [[Clair]] showed the Druddigon to her as she caught it earlier.
 
In ''[[BW138|Go, Go Gogoat!]],'' it was revealed that Gogoat was Alexa's first Pokémon; she caught it after it helped her back up a cliff to her campsite.
 
In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', while Ash parted ways with {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}, Alexa remained with him and followed him to [[Pallet Town]]. In the [[BW142|next episode]], she told Ash that [[Viola|her sister]] is a [[Gym Leader]] in the Kalos region. At the end of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Alexa accompanied Ash as he traveled to Kalos.
 
===={{series|XY}}====
In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Alexa and Ash arrived in [[Kalos]] by plane. When Ash wanted to challenge her sister, Alexa explained that [[Santalune Gym|her Gym]] isn't in [[Lumiose City]], but rather [[Santalune City]] instead. She then made a call off-screen to her sister, but revealed to Ash that she would be gone for a while. After showing Ash a map of Lumiose City, she parted ways with Ash and wished him good luck.
 
In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Alexa watched Ash's battle against Viola. In the [[XY006|next episode]], she helped Ash and his Pokémon in {{pkmn|training}}.
 
In ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]'', Alexa met up with the group in [[Ambrette Town]] while Ash was having a practice battle with his {{AP|Froakie}} and {{AP|Fletchling}}. She took the group to the Ambrette Town Fossil Laboratory. Inside, Alexa recorded some footage of the stuff happening in the lab. During a heist set up by {{TRT}}, she went with the group and {{p|Aurorus}} to retrieve {{p|Amaura}} back. With Aurorus's help, she was able to find Amaura and return it to the lab.
 
In ''[[XY066|Confronting the Darkness!]]'', Alexa approached Ash, his friends, and [[Meyer]] when they were trying to prove the innocence of the [[Clembot]], which had been put behind bars. She told them that she had been investigating the strange incidents the Clembot was framed for as well. In the process, she discovered that Blaziken Mask was somehow involved. She then instructed Ash and his friends to look into the Clembot's blueprints and see if they could find any clues, while she would continue her own investigation. That night, while investigating, Alexa noticed Blaziken Mask running across the rooftops. She followed him, and at the [[Lumiose Museum]], she watched Clemont battle the real criminal, [[Belmondo]]. When Belmondo was defeated by Clemont and arrested by [[Officer Jenny]], Blaziken Mask took off over the rooftops. Alexa then ran after him, ordering him to stop. The following morning, she had written an article in a local newspaper on the incident, crediting the Clembot for saving Lumiose City.
 
In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', Alexa was seen watching the [[Gloire City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] Master Class alongside Viola and Helioptile.
 
In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Alexa was seen watching [[Lysandre]]'s broadcast from Lumiose City along with her sister.
 
She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.
 
In ''[[SS036|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', Alexa joined [[Professor Sycamore]] as he investigated some newly discovered ruins, which continued the statue of a petrified [[Aila]].
 
===Character===
Since her debut, Alexa is shown to be rather forgetful, a trait her Gogoat seems to have gotten used to. She carries out her journalism work with pleasure as well as earnestness, often working late into the night. In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' she became so engrossed in her work that she failed to realize the crisis {{TRT}} was causing. Despite this, she is clever and a competent battler as shown in ''[[BW137|Celebrating the Hero's Comet!]]''. She chose to delete her data of the deserted island in ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'' in respect for the Pokémon who had been guarding its secret.
 
She is very cheerful and is often smiling and enthusiastic, a characteristic she shares with Ash with whom she gets along very well. She calmed the young Trainer down after his confrontation with [[Rodney]] and comforted him after saying farewell to Iris and Cilan. In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' she was notably disappointed when Ash got upset about not being able to battle her sister. She shows more focus or even aggression in ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', especially when battling Ash. She was surprised that Serena was the person to inspire Ash in ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', indicating that she wanted to be the one to inspire him.

|desc={{p|Helioptile}} is Alexa's first known Pokémon. It is very shy, and often hides behind Alexa when it encounters something new. Helioptile first appeared jumping out of a flower field after getting lost, where it encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. When Ash tried to capture it, Helioptile became scared and attacked him in retaliation, until Alexa came and explained that Helioptile belonged to her. Later, Helioptile acted as a charger when Alexa needed to charge her recording equipment after the battery was low.
 
While Helioptile was initially hesitant of Ash, it would eventually befriend him as Alexa predicted, running into the young Trainer's arms in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. In ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', Helioptile showed it had developed a good relationship with {{AP|Pikachu}}, often linking their electricity. When {{an|Professor Oak}} began to study Helioptile, he was shocked by the timid Pokémon. It was shown in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

In his excitement the Professor began tugging on Noivern's ears before the Sound Wave Pokémon eventually attacked. Noivern was then fed and returned to its Poké Ball. Noivern is completely loyal to Alexa but will bite someone if it isn't fed immediately after work.
 
In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Alexa used Noivern to help Ash train {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} to withstand attacks from [[Viola]]'s Pokémon.

Alexa makes her first appearance in the {{chap|X & Y}}, where she goes to [[Vaniville Town]] with Viola to interview up-and-coming {{tc|Sky Trainer}} {{adv|Y}}. Noting that she used to be a {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer in the past, Alexa wonders why Y decided to switch from the land to the sky. Y refuses to answer and states that she hates reporters for causing her friend {{adv|X}} to become a shut-in and refuse to leave his house despite his friends' constant efforts. Before the interview can continue, the legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} appear and begin destroying the town while fighting each other. When Viola wonders if the two are actually even Pokémon, Alexa states that she isn't sure either but notes that according to a 3,000 year old legend, Xerneas and Yveltal appear every 1,000 years.

At Lumiose City, Alexa finishes up her report on the Vaniville Town incident. She wonders why the news has only been reporting the incident as a "strange explosion" and completely ignored the Legendary Pokémon. She gets a call from Viola, who had been injured, much to Alexa's surprise. Viola informs Alexa that Team Flare is behind the incidents all over Kalos and reveals that Y and her friends are on their way to Lumiose City. Alexa then goes to Prism Tower to have an interview with [[Professor Sycamore]] concerning the Vaniville Town incident. By the time she arrives, the [[Lumiose Press editor-in-chief]] has already beaten Alexa to the interview and finished it as well. After Sycamore leaves, Alexa hands her notes of the Vaniville Town incident to the editor-in-chief, who promptly burns them. The editor-in-chief then attacks Alexa with a {{p|Pangoro}}, but she is saved at the last minute by {{adv|X}}. The editor-in-chief continues battling X and even takes Alexa's {{p|Helioptile|Heli}} hostage. Y and the others take Alexa down to safety, confident that X will get Heli back. Once they get to the ground floor, Alexa realizes that the media is working for a great evil that is deliberately keeping information about the Legendary Pokémon from the public.

X eventually manages to defeat the editor-in-chief's Pokémon and successfully retrieves Heli for Alexa. Alexa thanks the kids for their help and gives them a Lumiose journal from three years ago under the hope that it will somehow help the kids on their journey. She says her goodbyes and takes a cab to {{rt|4|Kalos}} so that she can meet up with Viola again in Santalune City.

Later, Alexa finishes an article, and tell's Viola about how the Ultimate Weapon ended a war 3,000 years ago. But it also ruined the lives of Humans and Pokémon. When Viola wonders if they can can stop it, Alexa tells her "it happened 3,000 years ago". But Viola senses something is bothering Alexa, and ask's what is bothering her. Alexa states "she has a bad feeling about this". Then, Alexa and Viola witness Lysandre announcing to the entire Kalos region about his plans to end all life with the power of the ultimate weapon. Afterward, they, along with Clemont, [[Bonnie]] [[Yvette]], confront Team Flare at {{rt|10|Kalos}} in order to free the captured Pokémon there. While Viola and Yvette lead the Sky Trainers in the air, Alexa, Clemont, and Bonnie work on destroying the Stone Pillars. However, Malva's Delphox attacks them, but Viola's quick thinking protects both teams from Delphox's attacks. Eventually, both teams succeeded in their mission.

Alexa debuted in The Journalist from Another Region! with her Helioptile and Gogoat. A journalist from Lumiose City, Alexa is a major supporting character in the series. She first met Ash and his friends during Pokémon the Series: Black & White and returned at various points in Ash's journey through Kalos in Pokémon the Series: XY.

While covering the Grand Harvest Festival on Harvest Island, Alexa met Ash and his friends and decided to travel with them. Throughout their journey, she documented various events, including a Pokémon Sumo Tournament and a treasure hunt on a deserted island. She also used her Noivern to help defeat Team Rocket. Alexa later revealed that her sister, Viola, is a Kalos Gym Leader, which motivated Ash to explore that region next. She accompanied Ash to Kalos after the conclusion of Pokémon the Series: Black & White.

Upon arriving in Kalos, Alexa directed Ash to her sister Viola's Gym in Santalune City before parting ways. After reuniting with Ash, she helped him train for his rematch against Viola. Later, Alexa assisted the group during a Team Rocket heist at the Ambrette Town Fossil Laboratory and helped investigate Clembot's innocence in Lumiose City. She was also seen watching the Gloire City Pokémon Showcase and Lysandre's broadcast from Lumiose City. In The Legend of X, Y, and Z!, she joined Professor Sycamore in researching newly discovered ruins.

In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Alexa watches Ash's battle again Leon in the Masters Eight Tournament alongside Brock and Cilan.

Alexa in Pokémon Adventures

Alexa makes her first appearance in the X & Y arc, where she goes to Vaniville Town with Viola to interview up-and-coming Sky Trainer Y. Noting that she used to be a Rhyhorn racer in the past, Alexa wonders why Y decided to switch from the land to the sky. Y refuses to answer and states that she hates reporters for causing her friend X to become a shut-in and refuse to leave his house despite his friends' constant efforts. Before the interview can continue, the legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal appear and begin destroying the town while fighting each other. When Viola wonders if the two are actually even Pokémon, Alexa states that she isn't sure either but notes that according to a 3,000 year old legend, Xerneas and Yveltal appear every 1,000 years.

At Lumiose City, Alexa finishes up her report on the Vaniville Town incident. She wonders why the news has only been reporting the incident as a "strange explosion" and completely ignored the Legendary Pokémon. She gets a call from Viola, who had been injured, much to Alexa's surprise. Viola informs Alexa that Team Flare is behind the incidents all over Kalos and reveals that Y and her friends are on their way to Lumiose City. Alexa then goes to Prism Tower to have an interview with Professor Sycamore concerning the Vaniville Town incident. By the time she arrives, the Lumiose Press editor-in-chief has already beaten Alexa to the interview and finished it as well. After Sycamore leaves, Alexa hands her notes of the Vaniville Town incident to the editor-in-chief, who promptly burns them. The editor-in-chief then attacks Alexa with a Pangoro, but she is saved at the last minute by X. The editor-in-chief continues battling X and even takes Alexa's Heli hostage. Y and the others take Alexa down to safety, confident that X will get Heli back. Once they get to the ground floor, Alexa realizes that the media is working for a great evil that is deliberately keeping information about the Legendary Pokémon from the public.

X eventually manages to defeat the editor-in-chief's Pokémon and successfully retrieves Heli for Alexa. Alexa thanks the kids for their help and gives them a Lumiose journal from three years ago under the hope that it will somehow help the kids on their journey. She says her goodbyes and takes a cab to Route 4 so that she can meet up with Viola again in Santalune City.

Later, Alexa finishes an article, and tell's Viola about how the Ultimate Weapon ended a war 3,000 years ago. But it also ruined the lives of Humans and Pokémon. When Viola wonders if they can can stop it, Alexa tells her "it happened 3,000 years ago". But Viola senses something is bothering Alexa, and ask's what is bothering her. Alexa states "she has a bad feeling about this". Then, Alexa and Viola witness Lysandre announcing to the entire Kalos region about his plans to end all life with the power of the ultimate weapon. Afterward, they, along with Clemont, Bonnie and Yvette, confront Team Flare at Route 10 in order to free the captured Pokémon there. While Viola and Yvette lead the Sky Trainers in the air, Alexa, Clemont, and Bonnie work on destroying the Stone Pillars. However, Malva's Delphox attacks them, but Viola's quick thinking protects both teams from Delphox's attacks. Eventually, both teams succeeded in their mission. After Team Flare is fully defeated, Alexa and her allies go to Lumiose City to congratulate X and his friends on their victory against Team Flare.
