Alexa debuted in The Journalist from Another Region! with her Helioptile and Gogoat. A journalist from Lumiose City, Alexa is a major supporting character in the series. She first met Ash and his friends during Pokémon the Series: Black & White and returned at various points in Ash's journey through Kalos in Pokémon the Series: XY.
While covering the Grand Harvest Festival on Harvest Island, Alexa met Ash and his friends and decided to travel with them. Throughout their journey, she documented various events, including a Pokémon Sumo Tournament and a treasure hunt on a deserted island. She also used her Noivern to help defeat Team Rocket. Alexa later revealed that her sister, Viola, is a Kalos Gym Leader, which motivated Ash to explore that region next. She accompanied Ash to Kalos after the conclusion of Pokémon the Series: Black & White.
Upon arriving in Kalos, Alexa directed Ash to her sister Viola's Gym in Santalune City before parting ways. After reuniting with Ash, she helped him train for his rematch against Viola. Later, Alexa assisted the group during a Team Rocket heist at the Ambrette Town Fossil Laboratory and helped investigate Clembot's innocence in Lumiose City. She was also seen watching the Gloire City Pokémon Showcase and Lysandre's broadcast from Lumiose City. In The Legend of X, Y, and Z!, she joined Professor Sycamore in researching newly discovered ruins.
In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Alexa watches Ash's battle again Leon in the Masters Eight Tournament alongside Brock and Cilan.

Pokémon Adventures
Alexa makes her first appearance in the X & Y arc, where she goes to Vaniville Town with Viola to interview up-and-coming Sky Trainer Y. Noting that she used to be a Rhyhorn racer in the past, Alexa wonders why Y decided to switch from the land to the sky. Y refuses to answer and states that she hates reporters for causing her friend X to become a shut-in and refuse to leave his house despite his friends' constant efforts. Before the interview can continue, the legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal appear and begin destroying the town while fighting each other. When Viola wonders if the two are actually even Pokémon, Alexa states that she isn't sure either but notes that according to a 3,000 year old legend, Xerneas and Yveltal appear every 1,000 years.
At Lumiose City, Alexa finishes up her report on the Vaniville Town incident. She wonders why the news has only been reporting the incident as a "strange explosion" and completely ignored the Legendary Pokémon. She gets a call from Viola, who had been injured, much to Alexa's surprise. Viola informs Alexa that Team Flare is behind the incidents all over Kalos and reveals that Y and her friends are on their way to Lumiose City. Alexa then goes to Prism Tower to have an interview with Professor Sycamore concerning the Vaniville Town incident. By the time she arrives, the Lumiose Press editor-in-chief has already beaten Alexa to the interview and finished it as well. After Sycamore leaves, Alexa hands her notes of the Vaniville Town incident to the editor-in-chief, who promptly burns them. The editor-in-chief then attacks Alexa with a Pangoro, but she is saved at the last minute by X. The editor-in-chief continues battling X and even takes Alexa's Heli hostage. Y and the others take Alexa down to safety, confident that X will get Heli back. Once they get to the ground floor, Alexa realizes that the media is working for a great evil that is deliberately keeping information about the Legendary Pokémon from the public.
X eventually manages to defeat the editor-in-chief's Pokémon and successfully retrieves Heli for Alexa. Alexa thanks the kids for their help and gives them a Lumiose journal from three years ago under the hope that it will somehow help the kids on their journey. She says her goodbyes and takes a cab to Route 4 so that she can meet up with Viola again in Santalune City.
Later, Alexa finishes an article, and tell's Viola about how the Ultimate Weapon ended a war 3,000 years ago. But it also ruined the lives of Humans and Pokémon. When Viola wonders if they can can stop it, Alexa tells her "it happened 3,000 years ago". But Viola senses something is bothering Alexa, and ask's what is bothering her. Alexa states "she has a bad feeling about this". Then, Alexa and Viola witness Lysandre announcing to the entire Kalos region about his plans to end all life with the power of the ultimate weapon. Afterward, they, along with Clemont, Bonnie and Yvette, confront Team Flare at Route 10 in order to free the captured Pokémon there. While Viola and Yvette lead the Sky Trainers in the air, Alexa, Clemont, and Bonnie work on destroying the Stone Pillars. However, Malva's Delphox attacks them, but Viola's quick thinking protects both teams from Delphox's attacks. Eventually, both teams succeeded in their mission. After Team Flare is fully defeated, Alexa and her allies go to Lumiose City to congratulate X and his friends on their victory against Team Flare.
Pokémon
Heli (Japanese: エリちゃん Eri-chan) is Alexa's only known Pokémon. It was first seen with its Trainer in Vaniville Town to interview Y. When Y angrily flew towards them, she startled Heli in the process. At Lumiose City, Heli went to Prism Tower with its Trainer so that Alexa could do an interview with Professor Sycamore. When the editor-in-chief beats them there, he reveals himself as a Team Flare member and kidnaps Heli. When X defeats the editor-in-chief's Pangoro, it falls out a window, letting in sunlight that Heli uses to recharge itself enough to shock the editor-in-chief and knock him unconscious. Later, Heli went with it's trainer to Route 10 to free the captured Pokémon there.
Heli's only known move is Electric Terrain.
