<i>After a quick introduction to Serena, a budding young Trainer who lives with her mother in the Kalos region, we find Ash, Pikachu, and Alexa on a plane, preparing to land in Kalos. Saying that Ash is excited would be quite an understatement! The thought of meeting all the new Pokémon and having lots of exciting Gym battles has our hero beside himself with joyous anticipation.
 
But when Alexa discovers that her younger sister (who’s a Gym Leader) isn’t at her Gym in Santalune City, Ash wonders where he should try for his first badge. Alexa directs him to the Gym located in the Prism Tower, right there in Lumiose City! Ash and Pikachu arrive at the Gym, brimming with confidence and energy. But they are greeted by a robot who, upon discovering Ash hasn’t yet won a single badge in Kalos, promptly throws them out with a bang!
 
Outside, a Trainer named Clemont and his little sister, Bonnie, manage to catch Ash and Pikachu as they come flying out of the tower. After introductions all around, Ash challenges Clemont to a battle on the spot, and he agrees. With Pikachu up against Clemont’s new Pokémon Bunnelby, it proves to be a battle of power and strategy, until it is rudely interrupted by none other than Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket, who have followed Ash all the way to Kalos!
 
The villains proclaim that although Pikachu is their first Pokémon-catching priority, the wealth of prime Pokémon in the Kalos region is too great to ignore! As a new battle begins, Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet proves to be quite a powerful Pokémon, thanks to its Mirror Coat move, which returns special attacks to the sender with double the power! But a Froakie has been observing the events from the sidelines, and now rushes in to help. When it flings the protective Frubbles that cover its back—which isn’t technically a move, and therefore not affected by Wobbuffet’s Mirror Coat—Team Rocket is sent blasting off again, but Froakie is injured in the process. Ash knows they need to get Froakie to a Pokémon Center right away, but Bonnie suggests it would be faster to go to Professor Sycamore’s research lab.
 
So off they go: Ash, Pikachu, Clemont, Bonnie, and the injured Froakie, ushering in a new round of adventures and excitement!</i>
 
==Plot==
==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
In [[Vaniville Town]], {{kal|Grace}} asks her {{p|Fletchling}} to wake up her daughter {{an|Serena}} after she failed to do so the first time. Fletchling obediently flies up to Serena's bedroom and pecks her awake, much to Serena's annoyance. Despite the prospect of training with {{p|Rhyhorn}} later for Rhyhorn racing, Serena feels today will be interesting.
The episode starts off with a [[Fletchling]] flying in from the window. A [[Grace (Kalos)|woman]] asks Fletchling to go wake up {{an|Serena}} cause she has tried once already and she didn't yet. Fletchling flies upstairs into Serena's bedroom to find her sleeping. Fletchling approaches her and pecks her awake, only to have a rude awakening and to Rhyhorn's surprise. Serena rebukes Fletching for waking her up like that. She tries to get Fletchling for doing so. Then the woman reminds her to get ready for morning training, much to her distress. Serena opens the window and says good morning to Rhyhorn. Serena hopes that today will be interesting.
 
Meanwhile, {{Ash}} arrives in the [[Kalos]] [[region]] on a plane with [[Alexa]], anticipating a new adventure. As Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} leave the plane, Ash sees two {{p|Spritzee}} flying above and trips on the steps, landing heavily on the ground. Ash is dismayed to discover that [[Viola|Alexa's sister]]'s [[Gym]] is not in [[Lumiose City]], but is in [[Santalune City]] instead. While Alexa makes a phone call to her sister, Ash decides to look around for new Pokémon, when suddenly {{p|Blaziken|a mysterious Pokémon}} appears on the top of the airport traffic control tower and jumps over Ash's head. Ash heads to the lobby and runs to Alexa's {{p|Helioptile}}, telling Alexa about the amazing Pokémon he saw, to which Alexa promises that he will soon see many more amazing Pokémon. Although Alexa's sister is still away from the [[Santalune Gym]], Alexa cheers Ash up by suggesting that he challenge the Gym in Lumiose City instead. Taking him to a map, she explains that [[Lumiose Gym]] is housed inside Prism Tower which is in the centre of the city. Ash gets very excited, and Alexa then tells Ash they'll need to go their separate ways now. Ash thanks her for all her help recently, and Alexa in turn thanks him for the fun they've had on their recent travels together. With that, Ash departs and Alexa comments on his energy and wishes him luck on his new adventure.
 
After seeing many Pokémon in Lumiose City, some familiar and some new to him, Ash finds Prism Tower, which houses the Lumiose Gym. Watched by {{an|Clemont|a boy}} and {{an|Bonnie|his younger sister}}, Ash walks inside and requests a Gym battle, but [[Clembot|a robotic voice]] asks him how many [[Badge]]s he currently has. Unbeknownst to Ash, the Lumiose Gym has a strict requirement that only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with four or more Gym Badges may challenge the [[Gym Leader]]. Since Ash has no Badges, Ash and Pikachu are hit with an electric shock and are dropped through a trapdoor to the exit. The two children from before see him falling out of the Tower and they attempt to rescue Ash and his Pikachu. The boy throws his [[bag|backpack]] below Ash, which immediately produces a large airbag-like contraption to cushion Ash's fall. The little girl catches Pikachu and falls over herself. After the boy helps Ash to his feet, the girl excites herself over how adorable Pikachu is and hugs him tightly, causing Pikachu to shock her in protest. As the scene is occurring, a {{AP|Froakie}} is watching them from a building. Recovering quickly from the shock, the girl apologizes to Pikachu after her brother chides her for not considering Pikachu's feelings. Introducing himself to the boy and the girl, Ash tells them that he traveled from the [[Kanto]] region so he could participate in the [[Kalos League]]. The three of them head to a Pokémon battlefield in Lumiose City, where the boy and the girl introduce themselves as {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. Ash challenges Clemont to a [[Pokémon battle]], to which Clemont accepts after encouragement from Bonnie.


Just then, {{Ash}} is arriving in the [[Kalos]] region on a plane with [[Alexa]] for a whole new adventure. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} gaze out the window to see they are closing in on Kalos. Alexa sees that he is excited about it. The plane lands on the ground and Ash walks out of the plane as Pikachu jumps out onto his shoulder. Ash adjusts his hat and screams that he has finally arrived in Kalos. Alexa walks out of the plane and asks why. Ash turns around to see two Pokemon flying in the air. When he sees them, he trips and falls down the steps toward the ground. Pikachu and Alexa rush over to him and wonder if he's okay. Ash still wonders what those Pokemon are, and Alexa says that they are [[Spritzee]] as she helps him up. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches Ash from a distance planning to catch Pikachu. Ash exclaims that the first thing he'll do is have a gym battle. Alexa asks where he'll go for one, and says that he will challenge her sister at her gym. She says that her gym is not in [[Lumiose City]], but is located in [[Santalune City]], much to Ash's despair. Alexa says to wait while she gives her sister a call at the lobby. Ash decides to look around for new Pokemon, when suddenly a mysterious Pokemon appears on the top of the airport traffic control tower and jumps off and disappears. Ash ask's Pikachu if he saw that and gets excited. Ash heads to the lobby and runs to Alexa's [[Helioptile]]. He asks where Alexa is and says she's at the phone. Ash says that he saw a really cool Pokemon. Alexa guarantees that he will see a whole lot more. Ash expresses great anticipation of being in the Kalos region and says he can't wait to win that gym battle as well. However, even though Alexa got through to her sister, she is not at the gym at the moment. Ash freaks out after hearing that she will be away for quite a while. Alexa says that he should challenge the gym in the city they are currently in at the [[Lumiose Gym]], which is located in the center of the city at Prism Tower. Alexa says that they have to part ways. They start to say their goodbyes, but not without welcoming Ash to the Kalos region. Ash sets off for the Lumiose Gym.
For their battle, Clemont sends out his {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} and Ash uses Pikachu. Pikachu starts off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Bunnelby uses his ears to throw up the sand to block the attack. Bunnelby responds with {{m|Dig}}, while Ash tells Pikachu to take off and use his speed to confuse Bunnelby. However, Pikachu is unsuccessful and Bunnelby lands his attack. Pikachu and Bunnelby continue trading attacks, while Ash notes that Bunnelby's ears are a great asset in battle and that Clemont is a skilled Trainer. Bunnelby stops Pikachu’s {{m|Iron Tail}} with his ears, but gets pushed back by a close range {{m|Electro Ball}} attack. Pikachu charges into a {{m|Quick Attack}} while Clemont orders Bunnelby to bide his time.


Ash runs off to the entrance to Lumiose City and jumps in excitement. He starts to explore the city and finds many new Pokemon along the way. Then he sees the Prism Tower in the distance and runs toward the entrance to the tower. He proceeds to enter the tower into the gym, while two people look at him from a distance. Ash is now in the gym and walks up toward the door. He requests a gym battle, but is asked about how many badges he currently has. He has none and says it's his first Gym challenge. This shocks the monitor as he says he needs four badges to have a gym battle in the gym. The monitor asks him to leave immediately. Ash gets shocked and is sent through a trapdoor to the exit. The two people from before see him falling out of the tower and they attempt to rescue Ash and his Pikachu. The boy throws his backpack that inflates out a cushion to break Ash's fall. The little girl catches Pikachu and falls. The boy asks if Ash is okay to which he is. The girl shows the boy the Pikachu and hugs it tight, which Pikachu leaves them quite a shock! A Pokemon is watching them from a building. The girl falls from the shock and laughs. The boy apologizes for his little sister's actions and tells her to apologize too. She says she only wanted to hug it for being cute. The boy asks if Pikachu liked the hug, and then she realizes it was impolite, so she apologizes. Ash accepts her apology and says Pikachu was just surprised. He also says thanks for her saving Pikachu. Ash goes on saying on how bizarre the Lumiose Gym is. The girl explains that the Gym has a really tough Gym Leader. She asks if the guy said if he asked him for the amount of Gym Badges he has, to which he has none. He explains that he just arrived in the Kalos region.
Just then, the battle is interrupted when a device is thrown onto the battlefield, which Pikachu narrowly dodges. Looking around, Ash and the others see {{TRT}} there, having followed him all the way to Kalos. Although the talking {{MTR}} catches Clemont's attention, Ash explains to him and Bonnie that Team Rocket have been following him around, trying to steal Pikachu. Although Pikachu and Bunnelby both put up excellent fights against Team Rocket, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] uses {{m|Mirror Coat}} to block their efforts. Just before Pikachu is struck by a rebounding Electro Ball, the Froakie that had been watching them before jumps in and takes the attack for Pikachu. Using its frubbles as an attack, Froakie incapacitates Wobbuffet and Team Rocket with the sticky frubbles. Clemont orders his Bunnelby to use Dig, which sends Team Rocket flying into the air before Pikachu sends them blasting off with a Thunderbolt.


Afterwards Froakie collapses from its injuries. Following on Bonnie's recommendations, they rush Froakie to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s laboratory, fearing for the little Pokémon's safety.

<!--* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Pokémon}}-->
[[File:XY Title Card Ash.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* In addition to the United States, this episode aired as a sneak peek on October 19, 2013 in the [[Pokémon in the United Kingdom|United Kingdom]], [[Pokémon in Spain|Spain]], [[Pokémon in Germany|Germany]], [[Pokémon in Italy|Italy]], and [[Pokémon in France|France]].
[[File:XY001 Title Card.png|thumb|200px|New title card]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Pikachu}}
** This Pokémon Holo Caster was moved to [[XY002]] on the first airing, due to XY001 and XY002 airing as a one-hour special.
* This is the season premiere of [[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]].
* [[V (Volt)]] replaces [[Summerly Slope]] as the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese opening theme]].
* [[X Strait Y Scenery]] replaced [[Let's Join Hands]] as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending theme]].
* A new [[title card]] sequence is introduced.
* This and [[XY002|the following episode]] are the first episodes to air in Japan after the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]].
* In addition to the United States, this episode aired as a sneak peek on October 19, 2013 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|Italy}}, and {{pmin|France}}. The sneak peek versions of these episodes also aired in {{pmin|Canada}} on December 7, 2013.
** Due to this fact, this episode is tied with the [[XY002|following episode]] as the shortest gap between the airdates of the Japanese version and the English dub. However, both were aired as a sneak preview, not regular episodes, as ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' hadn't completed its run outside Japan yet, so the record that ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'' held wasn't broken for regular episodes until ''[[BW137|Celebrating the Hero's Comet!]]''.
** For these airings, as the [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|opening theme sequence]] hadn't been completed, a placeholder opening was used, in which the show's title simply flew into view on a black background as the [[title card]] background music played. In the ending credits, a shorter version of Lumiose City's {{pkmn|anime}} music was used.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a number of Pokémon species in the main series after long absences:
** {{p|Kingdra}}, who last appeared in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', 546 episodes ago.

* A new eyecatch debuts in the Japanese version, called [[Pokémon Quiz]]. The silhouette of the Pokémon is revealed, then four other silhouettes appear alongside it: one being identical to the first silhouette, two being that of similar Pokémon species and one of them being that of {{TRT}}. The viewers have to remember where the correct silhouette was, which is revealed alongside the actual Pokémon species after the commercial break.
* This is the first time that an episode introducing a new [[core series]] region does not feature the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}.
* This is the first time that {{Ash}}'s male traveling companion appears in the first episode of a new series.
* This is the first episode to use music from ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''.
* [[Jessie]] [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] when Ash says that he and {{AP|Pikachu}} will always stand up to Team Rocket. She replies that all he will end up with is reruns, implying that the show will end due to them succeeding in capturing Pikachu.

Blurb

After a quick introduction to Serena, a budding young Trainer who lives with her mother in the Kalos region, we find Ash, Pikachu, and Alexa on a plane, preparing to land in Kalos. Saying that Ash is excited would be quite an understatement! The thought of meeting all the new Pokémon and having lots of exciting Gym battles has our hero beside himself with joyous anticipation.

But when Alexa discovers that her younger sister (who’s a Gym Leader) isn’t at her Gym in Santalune City, Ash wonders where he should try for his first badge. Alexa directs him to the Gym located in the Prism Tower, right there in Lumiose City! Ash and Pikachu arrive at the Gym, brimming with confidence and energy. But they are greeted by a robot who, upon discovering Ash hasn’t yet won a single badge in Kalos, promptly throws them out with a bang!

Outside, a Trainer named Clemont and his little sister, Bonnie, manage to catch Ash and Pikachu as they come flying out of the tower. After introductions all around, Ash challenges Clemont to a battle on the spot, and he agrees. With Pikachu up against Clemont’s new Pokémon Bunnelby, it proves to be a battle of power and strategy, until it is rudely interrupted by none other than Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket, who have followed Ash all the way to Kalos!

The villains proclaim that although Pikachu is their first Pokémon-catching priority, the wealth of prime Pokémon in the Kalos region is too great to ignore! As a new battle begins, Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet proves to be quite a powerful Pokémon, thanks to its Mirror Coat move, which returns special attacks to the sender with double the power! But a Froakie has been observing the events from the sidelines, and now rushes in to help. When it flings the protective Frubbles that cover its back—which isn’t technically a move, and therefore not affected by Wobbuffet’s Mirror Coat—Team Rocket is sent blasting off again, but Froakie is injured in the process. Ash knows they need to get Froakie to a Pokémon Center right away, but Bonnie suggests it would be faster to go to Professor Sycamore’s research lab.

So off they go: Ash, Pikachu, Clemont, Bonnie, and the injured Froakie, ushering in a new round of adventures and excitement!

Plot

In Vaniville Town, Grace asks her Fletchling to wake up her daughter Serena after she failed to do so the first time. Fletchling obediently flies up to Serena's bedroom and pecks her awake, much to Serena's annoyance. Despite the prospect of training with Rhyhorn later for Rhyhorn racing, Serena feels today will be interesting.

Meanwhile, Ash arrives in the Kalos region on a plane with Alexa, anticipating a new adventure. As Ash and Pikachu leave the plane, Ash sees two Spritzee flying above and trips on the steps, landing heavily on the ground. Ash is dismayed to discover that Alexa's sister's Gym is not in Lumiose City, but is in Santalune City instead. While Alexa makes a phone call to her sister, Ash decides to look around for new Pokémon, when suddenly a mysterious Pokémon appears on the top of the airport traffic control tower and jumps over Ash's head. Ash heads to the lobby and runs to Alexa's Helioptile, telling Alexa about the amazing Pokémon he saw, to which Alexa promises that he will soon see many more amazing Pokémon. Although Alexa's sister is still away from the Santalune Gym, Alexa cheers Ash up by suggesting that he challenge the Gym in Lumiose City instead. Taking him to a map, she explains that Lumiose Gym is housed inside Prism Tower which is in the centre of the city. Ash gets very excited, and Alexa then tells Ash they'll need to go their separate ways now. Ash thanks her for all her help recently, and Alexa in turn thanks him for the fun they've had on their recent travels together. With that, Ash departs and Alexa comments on his energy and wishes him luck on his new adventure.

After seeing many Pokémon in Lumiose City, some familiar and some new to him, Ash finds Prism Tower, which houses the Lumiose Gym. Watched by a boy and his younger sister, Ash walks inside and requests a Gym battle, but a robotic voice asks him how many Badges he currently has. Unbeknownst to Ash, the Lumiose Gym has a strict requirement that only Trainers with four or more Gym Badges may challenge the Gym Leader. Since Ash has no Badges, Ash and Pikachu are hit with an electric shock and are dropped through a trapdoor to the exit. The two children from before see him falling out of the Tower and they attempt to rescue Ash and his Pikachu. The boy throws his backpack below Ash, which immediately produces a large airbag-like contraption to cushion Ash's fall. The little girl catches Pikachu and falls over herself. After the boy helps Ash to his feet, the girl excites herself over how adorable Pikachu is and hugs him tightly, causing Pikachu to shock her in protest. As the scene is occurring, a Froakie is watching them from a building. Recovering quickly from the shock, the girl apologizes to Pikachu after her brother chides her for not considering Pikachu's feelings. Introducing himself to the boy and the girl, Ash tells them that he traveled from the Kanto region so he could participate in the Kalos League. The three of them head to a Pokémon battlefield in Lumiose City, where the boy and the girl introduce themselves as Clemont and Bonnie. Ash challenges Clemont to a Pokémon battle, to which Clemont accepts after encouragement from Bonnie.

For their battle, Clemont sends out his Bunnelby and Ash uses Pikachu. Pikachu starts off with a Thunderbolt, but Bunnelby uses his ears to throw up the sand to block the attack. Bunnelby responds with Dig, while Ash tells Pikachu to take off and use his speed to confuse Bunnelby. However, Pikachu is unsuccessful and Bunnelby lands his attack. Pikachu and Bunnelby continue trading attacks, while Ash notes that Bunnelby's ears are a great asset in battle and that Clemont is a skilled Trainer. Bunnelby stops Pikachu’s Iron Tail with his ears, but gets pushed back by a close range Electro Ball attack. Pikachu charges into a Quick Attack while Clemont orders Bunnelby to bide his time.

Just then, the battle is interrupted when a device is thrown onto the battlefield, which Pikachu narrowly dodges. Looking around, Ash and the others see Team Rocket there, having followed him all the way to Kalos. Although the talking Meowth catches Clemont's attention, Ash explains to him and Bonnie that Team Rocket have been following him around, trying to steal Pikachu. Although Pikachu and Bunnelby both put up excellent fights against Team Rocket, Jessie's Wobbuffet uses Mirror Coat to block their efforts. Just before Pikachu is struck by a rebounding Electro Ball, the Froakie that had been watching them before jumps in and takes the attack for Pikachu. Using its frubbles as an attack, Froakie incapacitates Wobbuffet and Team Rocket with the sticky frubbles. Clemont orders his Bunnelby to use Dig, which sends Team Rocket flying into the air before Pikachu sends them blasting off with a Thunderbolt.

Afterwards Froakie collapses from its injuries. Following on Bonnie's recommendations, they rush Froakie to Professor Sycamore's laboratory, fearing for the little Pokémon's safety.
