The episode starts off with a Fletchling flying in from the window. A woman asks Fletchling to go wake up 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.
Just then, Ash is arriving in the Kalos region on a plane with Alexa for a whole new adventure. Ash and 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, Team Rocket 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.
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.
