Blurb

Our heroes have arrived on Harvest Island, famous for its delicious berries and the Grand Harvest Festival that celebrates them. Ash, Iris, and Cilan set off for the festival, and along the way, they come across a Pokémon they’ve never seen before—one that Ash’s Pokédex can’t identify! Ash just wants to catch it, of course, but when he challenges it to a battle, the electrical discharge from its frills knocks him flat, and its Trainer quickly runs up to apologize.

She introduces herself as Alexa, a Pokémon journalist from the faraway Kalos region. Along with her Pokémon, Helioptile and Gogoat, she travels the world for her job, writing about and photographing Pokémon in their natural habitat. Helioptile, who knocked Ash down, helps her by recharging her equipment, and Gogoat carries that equipment in its saddlebags—and remembers where it’s stored, something Alexa isn’t very good at!

Alexa has come to the island to cover the Pokémon Sumo competition at the festival, so they all decide to walk together. On the way, she fills our heroes in on the legend surrounding the competition: long ago, the island was in danger of going barren because people and Pokémon had stripped it of nearly all its berries. The island’s two strongest Pokémon fought each other to a standstill over the last remaining berry, and things looked grim...but a small boy picked the berry and split it in two, offering half to each Pokémon and telling them to share. The island recovered, and today, the Pokémon Sumo competition honors that fierce battle.

Ash, Iris, and Cilan all decide to enter the competition, and while they’re waiting for it to begin, Ash has a run-in with a rude boy named Rodney, who shoves him aside at the pie stand. It turns out Rodney has entered the competition, too, with his enormous Golurk, which makes short work of all its opponents! But Ash and Pignite are determined, and Rodney gradually begins to show respect for the pair’s persistence. Finally, with some clever maneuvering, Pignite manages to get Golurk off balance and throw it to the ground. Ash has won!

Rodney is disappointed, but Ash offers to split some berries with him, in an echo of the old legend. There are enough berries to feed the entire festival, and everyone happily joins in. Afterward, our heroes are ready to set out for the ship again when they learn that Alexa is heading to Kanto to work on her next article. So she’ll be joining them on their travels!

Ash and his friends reach Harvest Island when Porter tells them there's a Grand Harvest Festival on this island, so people are gathering their Pokémon for the upcoming Pokémon Sumo Tournament. Ash is excited about this and decides to go to the Grand Harvest Festival along with Iris and Cilan. During their trip to the Grand Harvest Festival, Ash and his friends see a Helioptile, and they are confused as to which Pokémon it is. Ash scans it on his Pokédex, but there's no entry about this Pokémon in his Pokédex, which says "No data.". Ash and his friends are impressed that it didn't scan the Pokémon at all. Iris is pondering that maybe this Pokémon isn't from Unova, and Cilan is pondering that it might not be from another region, either. Ash doesn't care where it comes from, and decides to catch it sending Pikachu to use his Thunder Shock on it. But then, a mysterious woman warns Ash not to attack it, and Helioptile uses a new attack called Parabolic Charge on Ash and Pikachu before Iris and Cilan figure out what happened. Then, this woman apologizes to Ash for what her Pokémon has done, and then they learn that she is Alexa, a journalist from the Kalos region, and her Pokémon are Gogoat and Helioptile. Alexa explains that she's in the Decolore Islands to write an article on the tradition of Harvest Island, the Harvest Festival. As they visit the festival, they learn of a special Pokémon Sumo Tournament where the winner shall win a Focus Band and some rare Berries. Ash, Iris and Cilan each decide to enter this tournament, but things turn out to be tougher than they thought. Who will win the tournament?
