Plot

Ash and friends head towards Lumiose City to investigate what is going on. Alain follows them to see. Team Rocket continue to do news broadcasts of the incident going on. Ash and Alain split from the rest of the group and try to break the branches popping up from the ground by Z2. Some Team Flare executives appear against Ash and Alain and knock Ash out. Pikachu and Ash are too weak to move and Xerosic captures them. Alain, forced to go with them, follows them along and meets Lysandre. Lysandre gives a message on the news to all the city viewers that Team Flare will create a new, beautiful world by destroying the entire Kalos region and telling people to stay away from Team Flare, or else. Some Team Flare grunts find Mairin and try to take her in, but Professor Sycamore comes in and uses his Garchomp to escape. Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont then find Meyer, unknown to his children. Meyer and the group follow the branches to the Lumiose Gym, where the center of Z2 is. They find Bryony and Aliana ready to stop the group. In the end, Squishy transforms into 50% forme and concludes the episode.
