Alexa (Japanese: パンジー Pansy) is a journalist from Lumiose City and a major supporting character in the anime. She 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.
History
Pre-series
As revealed in Go, Go Gogoat!, Gogoat was Alexa's first Pokémon; she caught it after it helped her back up a cliff to her campsite. Together they traveled all over the world, recording different situations of Pokémon habitats, such as Swanna for example. All this dedication made Alexa become a highly regarded reporter.
Later, it is revealed that Alexa's sister, Viola, has partnered with her several times in her research work. This motivated the two to create a small gallery with Viola's work mainly at Santalune Gym.
Pokémon the Series: Black & White
Alexa debuted in The Journalist from Another Region!, with her Helioptile and Gogoat.
When Helioptile bumped into Ash and his friends on Harvest Island, Ash used his Pikachu to battle it, but Helioptile fired an Electric-type 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 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.
In Mystery on a Deserted Island!, she went to an 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 evolved from some stones. Continuing onward with a group of three 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 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 Druddigon who lived on the island, Clair showed the Druddigon to her as she caught it earlier.
In Celebrating the Hero's Comet!, Alexa led the group to the ruins where a mysterious comet would pass. Along the way, they met a mysterious girl named Anima. For a scuffle involving Team Rocket, Alexa revealed her Noivern who teamed up with Pikachu to defeat Jessie, James, and Meowth. The next day, Alexa discovered that she had lost all of the recordings from the night before and the group ended up wondering what Anima's real identity was.
In Go, Go Gogoat!, Ash, Iris and Cilan got lost from Alexa's Gogoat while she was doing a story. Unbeknownst to them, Gogoat befriended a boy named Tony, that Gogoat decided to help find his father. As they searched, Alexa told Ash the story of how she met Gogoat and upon meeting her Pokémon, Alexa and Ash decided to help Tony achieve his goal. After getting the family together, Alexa thanked Gogoat for its hard work.
In Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!, while Ash parted ways with Iris and Cilan, Alexa remained with him and followed him to Pallet Town. Before saying goodbye, Alexa gave Iris and Cilan two lunchboxes with typical food from Vermilion City. In the next episode, already in Pallet Town, Alexa took the opportunity to do an extensive interview with Professor Oak, right after she told Ash that her sister is a Gym Leader in the Kalos region. During the night, at a dinner at Ash's house, Alexa explained a little how the Kalos League worked, which motivated Ash to want to travel to that region. At the end of Pokémon the Series: Black & White, Alexa accompanied Ash as he traveled to Kalos.

The training continued in the next episode, the next day, Alexa watched Ash's rematch against Viola. After Ash finally managed to beat Viola, Alexa said goodbye to the group and wished everyone good luck.

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.
