Ash, who confirmed to take place in the Unova League, took a plane from Virbank City with his friends and Cynthia to Undella Town. On their way, they saw Wailord and Wingull. Cilan expressed that every time he looked out the window, he's deeply moved. Cynthia then explains that many Pokémon from other regions live in East Unova. They soon arrive in Undella Town.
After they land, Ash sees a red spot, which he thinks it's a Staryu. The gang sees the Staryu, when Meloetta quietly appears. Ash says that he's here for the Junior Cup, and they are going to win, get stronger, and then participate in the Unova League. While they are speaking, Cynthia 's butler, Jeremy arrives, telling them to go to Cynthia's villa with his car. Suddenly, Team Rocket appears, saying that Meloetta is quietly following Ash and his friends. When it's time to go, Meloetta sneaks in Jeremy's car, following Ash and friends to Cynthia's villa.
On the way, when Cilan is speaking to Cynthia, Ash saw Rattata, when Meloetta appears and sits on Ash's lap. Seeing Ash, Meloetta seems very excited, when Cynthia says that Meloetta must really like Ash, so that's why Meloetta keeps following Ash around. A while later, they arrive at Cynthia's villa, but when Jeremy opens the villa's door, Meloetta suddenly disappears again.
