'''You Never Can Taillow''' (Japanese: '''スバメがいっぱい　危険がいっぱい！トウカの森でゲットだぜ！！''' ''A Lot of {{tt|Subame|Taillow}}! A Lot of Danger! Capture in {{tt|Touka|Petalburg}} Woods!!'') is the fourth episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and the 278th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 12, 2002 and in the United States on November 22, 2003.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash, May and May's little brother Max are now en route to Rustboro City—and they're hungry! No one remembered to pack lunch. As they fight over one remaining cookie, Ash remembers how nice it was to have Brock cooking for him and Misty. He's quickly brought back to reality when a Taillow takes off with the cookie. The gang follows Taillow to a grove filled with apple trees. Ash and May eagerly shake the trees, hoping to make the apples drop to the ground. Instead of apples, Ash and May shake loose an angry flock of territorial Taillow. There's too many for Ash, Max, and May to handle alone. Out of nowhere, Brock appears and saves the day with his Forretress—and his incredible soup! They manage to defeat and feed all of the Taillow except the one who took the cookie. Taillow are naturally resilient, but this particular one is especially tough. Ash can't seem to defeat it, so instead he decides to catch it.

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] are walking in the [[Petalburg Woods]]. May complains that she is hungry while Max complains that he hasn't seen one new Pokémon yet. The two start to bicker about what to do next, pulling Ash in two directions until he and Pikachu yell for them to stop. Ash decides they'll take a quick lunch break and then decide which way to go, but there's one problem: none of them have brought lunch with them; even Pikachu's food canister is empty. Ash apologizes for messing up, then wishes {{an|Brock}} were there, telling May and Max about him, especially how good a cook he is.

Max gets his "emergency stash", a pack of chocolate cookies, out of his [[bag|backpack]]. After a small argument, they agree to share one cookie, when suddenly a {{p|Taillow}} swoops in and snatches it. They chase the Taillow, with May incensed over the food theft and Max excited that he finally found a Pokémon. The Taillow soon eats the chocolate, and Max asks if he liked it.

Pikachu discovers that they are in a grove of fruit trees. Ash tells Pikachu to shock down some fruit; however, numerous Taillow appear and snatch it up before it hits the ground. Then more Taillow appear and surround the group, looking angry. Ash wonders if it's because they're in the Taillow's territory. Ash orders Pikachu to {{m|Thunderbolt}} them; the Taillow are knocked down, but recover quickly. A second Thunderbolt is also shaken off.

[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} watching from the bushes, are impressed with the Taillow's resilience. They speculate that catching Pikachu would be easy if the fierce Taillow were on their side.

Meanwhile, Pikachu continues to shock the Taillow, hitting one that May spots as the leader. Max notes that the chocolatef on its beak marks it as the cookie thief. The Taillow shrugs off Pikachu's attack and leads the others in a mass attack on our heroes. They prepare to be hit hard when a figure appears, throwing a Poké Ball and commanding {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} to use {{m|Explosion}}. It is Brock to the rescue.

Introductions are made, and then Brock offers the others rice balls only to discover they have been stolen from his backpack. He offers to cook up some stew instead. A little way off, {{TRT}} make use of the Taillow, bribing them with the stolen rice balls to capture Pikachu.

Meanwhile, the chocolate-beaked Taillow has (seemingly on its own) shown up to challenge Pikachu, and Ash enthusiastically agrees. They battle over the stream but the Taillow, despite taking several Thunderbolts and a massive {{m|Thunder}} attack, refuses to back down. Brock tells Ash to stop the fight before he hurts it any more - he'll have to catch it. Ash throws a Poké Ball and captures {{AP|Taillow}}.

Ash calls his new Taillow out, Brock spritzes it with medicine and Ash wipes the chocolate off its beak with {{an|Misty}}'s handkerchief while Ash, Pikachu and Taillow do a victory pose.

Team Rocket then makes their appearance, ordering the Taillow to attack, but Brock's cooking alarm goes off, announcing the stew is ready. Brock offers to share with the hungry Taillow flock, who lose interest in fighting. Team Rocket mourns the failure of their plan, but go to attack anyway, figuring Pikachu will be weak with hunger. However, they get blasted off, as Ash informs them that Pikachu ate Brock's Pokémon food already.

Taillow says goodbye to its flock, as our heroes continue their journey, now joined by Brock and Taillow.

==Major events==

==Blurb==

Ash and May have made it all the way to Petalburg City—the first city with a gym. Ash is very excited to take on the gym leader. May seems a little uneasy—perhaps it's because she hasn't yet told Ash that her father, Norman, is the gym leader in Petalburg! When Ash first gets to the gym, he meets May's little brother, Max, who is pretending to be the gym leader. Max knows a lot about Pokémon and can't wait until he's old enough to become a trainer. Once Ash finally meets Norman, he learns that he will need three Pokémon in order to battle at the gym. He only has Pikachu with him. When Norman agrees to an unofficial battle, Ash encounters his first Vigoroth. Ash realizes that he will have to train hard in order to win a badge in Petalburg City. After a quick scuffle with Team Rocket, Ash and May are ready to hit the road again. Max has decided to tag along, too!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} runs up to a cliff seeing that [[Petalburg City]] is just ahead. However, {{an|May}} lags behind, and as they settle down in a park, Ash begins talking about how he wants to get the Badge from the [[Gym Leader]]. May on the other hand is not so thrilled about this, so she goes off without Ash, saying she'll meet up with him as soon as she can. Ash doesn't mind however, and tells {{AP|Pikachu}} that they're going to the Gym for his battle.

Ash soon reaches the Gym, taking a look at it. The Gym looks like a large oriental building and has a large front entrance. Determined as ever to win the Badge, Ash steps into the Gym. He reaches the main arena, a rather large room with wooden floors, introducing himself to present a challenge. There is no response. Ash tries again, then a young, nerdy looking boy carrying books walks to the arena. Ash thinks this might be the Gym Leader so he asks. The boy recognizes Ash, asking him if he was in the [[Silver Conference]]. Ash confirms this and said he got all the way to last round. The boy tries to remember Ash's name and guesses the name Alf. Ash corrects him, telling him that his name is Ash. Then the boy answers Ash's previous question. He makes a pose and says that he's the Gym Leader. Ash isn't so sure, but immediately asks if he could challenge him and the boy accepts, saying that it'll be interesting taking on someone.

Both of them get ready for the battle. The boy says that they will each use three Pokémon. The only problem is that Ash only has Pikachu to fight for him. Luckily, May comes back with two other people, her parents. May asks the boy (who turns out to be her little brother [[Max]]) what he is doing acting like the Gym Leader. Max is too young to be a Trainer, but he'd like to be one some day. Instead, Max spends a lot of his time studying to be a Pokémon Trainer. Max and May's father is [[Norman]], the real Gym Leader. Ash is surprised, giving Max a glare before looking back at Norman. He was just about to ask Ash for a challenge, but May pulled him over, saying that it's almost lunch and she's hungry. May's mother doesn't mind the extra company, so Ash stays over for lunch.

Max asks to see which starter Pokémon, and she happily sends out {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Max is dismayed that May picked Torchic, and states that he would have picked Treecko, which causes Torchic to start pecking him. Norman says Torchic is a fine Pokémon to start out with, and Max says he can't wait to get his Treecko, which causes Torchic to start pecking him again.

While they go on their way, the {{TRT}} spy on them through a window. They plan their next move to see if they can snag Ash's Pikachu, and maybe the Gym Leader's Pokémon.

During the meal, Ash asks about the rules Norman uses for his matches. Max makes a comment that it's the "same rules" as he used, a three-on-three match. Ash hangs his head; now he can't fight in the Gym since he left all his other Pokémon in [[Pallet Town]]. Caroline tells Ash that he can have his Pokémon sent to the [[Pokémon Center]], but Ash tells the family he wants to start fresh and only use Pokémon he catches in Hoenn (apart from Pikachu, of course). He decides that he will come back to the Gym when he's caught more Pokémon. Norman tells Ash that as he's traveled a huge distance, he's willing to give Ash a temporary rule change. The match will be unofficial, but Ash doesn't mind; he's just looking forward to his first [[Pokémon battle]] in Hoenn. Just after lunch, everyone goes back to the arena for the battle. Max cheers Ash on in the back, having a lot of confidence for someone who was in the Silver Tournament.

As the battle starts, Ash uses Pikachu and Norman sends out {{p|Vigoroth}}. Ash looks it up on his [[Pokédex]] to see how to handle the Pokémon. The Pokédex tells him that Vigoroth is both powerful and quick. Ash feels likes he has an equal playing field since he emphasizes on speed. The first strike is a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Pikachu, but with the quick reflexes of Vigoroth, it easily jumps away from the blast. Vigoroth soon runs to Pikachu with deadly speed and gives Pikachu a wide {{m|slash}}. Ash now realizes Vigoroth is a force to be reckoned with. Ash switches from electric moves to physical moves, and soon Pikachu starts using {{m|Quick Attack}}. Even so, Pikachu's speed is still no match for Vigoroth's might. Pikachu ends up being tossed around left and right, and is eventually defeated. Ash runs over to his partner to see if he's alright, and acknowledges Vigoroth's power.

Suddenly, a wall explodes on the side. When the dust settles, it reveals Team Rocket as they say their motto. Ash does a quick explanation of who they are and gets ready to bump them out of the Gym. [[Jessie]] sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and [[James]] uses {{TP|James|Weezing}} to attack the group. Weezing uses {{m|SmokeScreen}}, as Arbok use {{m|Headbutt}} on Pikachu. Vigoroth decides to help, but it can’t see anything in the Smokescreen, so Weezing evades. Then, Max has an idea, as he suggests May to use her Pokemon. Nervous, she takes out her {{TP|May|Torchic}}. As she thinks, Arbok takes the time to attack Torchic. As Jessie gets ready to take Vigoroth and Pikachu, Ash has Pikachu Thunderbolt them, but instead it hits Max by accident. Ash check to see if he’s ok, but Team Rocket escape in the Smokescreen.Once everything is clear, everything looks okay. Ash still has Pikachu, Vigoroth is unhurt... but May lost her Torchic! They think that Team Rocket accidentally stole Torchic instead of Pikachu.

They see Team Rocket float away in their balloon, off into the distance. In their balloon, Team Rocket take a look at their prize, which they expect to be Pikachu. Instead they're surprised to find a confused Torchic. Torchic then pecks every one of them angrily, but Team Rocket manage to get it under control. Then they have a plan that they could use Torchic as bait to get Pikachu.

Meanwhile, everyone looks for Torchic in one group, but they decide to split up and cover more ground. As the search went on, Ash managed to find a field where Team Rocket's balloon was and where Torchic was trapped in a cage. The others soon meet up with him, who says he found where Team Rocket is. May and Max run after Torchic, but Ash tries to call them back but it's too late as the two fall into a hole. Ash makes a disappointed face as May's parents run after her. Ash tries to stop them, but they fall into another hole. Ash slaps his face in grief and decides to go out and help them. He helps out May and Max first, while Norman and [[Caroline]] make it okay.

Just after everything is getting better, Team Rocket pop out and they try to keep them busy with a fight. After a few moments in another heated battle, Max sneaks by and gets to Torchic's cage, freeing it. Torchic goes back to May and they have a short happy reunion. May still doesn't know Torchic's attacks quite yet, but Max tells her which one to use. t Meanwhile, Arbok seems to be coiled tightly around Vigoroth so Ash has Pikachu help it by using Quick Attack on Arbok. Then, May tries to use Torchic, and tells it to use “Amber” attack, but then Max corrects her, and realizes that she meant “{{m|Ember}}”. Anyways, May commands again, but by mistake, Torchic attacks Max. He quickly blows it. This time, she tells it to use Peck… but again it attacks Max. Meanwhile, Ash and Norman are still fighting off Team Rocket. Arbok Headbutts Pikachu and Vigoroth tackles them both so they land in the balloon. Then Pikachu finishes it off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Later, back in front of Norman's Gym, Norman directs Ash to challenge the closest Gym in [[Rustboro City]]. As a gift, Norman gives Ash and May Badge cases and he gives Max a [[PokéNav]]. Max messes around with the Nav, explaining what it does. Ash and May are ready for their journey, but Max is going to follow them. His parents say that if he wants to be a Trainer, it'd be more helpful if he saw examples rather than read it in textbooks. Max is so excited that he goes off right away to Petalburg Forest; Ash and May quickly follow afterwards.

==Trivia==
* The [[eyecatch]]es are updated in this episode to include [[Max]].
* When [[EP007|first arriving]] in [[Cerulean City|her home city]], {{an|Misty}} was also wary of Ash going to the local Gym because of it being run by family, just like May is in this episode.
* When May calls out Amber instead of Ember, an image of a mushroom goes across the screen. This was a joke that was only understandable in the Japanese version because ''kinoko'' (mushroom) sounds very similar to ''hinoko'' (Ember).
* The title of this episode is a reference to the common saying "There's no place like Home."

===Errors===
* The scene with Blaziken's hands being red instead of gray is used for a flashback.
* After Ash's Pikachu lost the battle to Norman's Vigoroth, the back of Ash's shoe had a different design between scenes.
* When Ash was thinking about his {{AP|Noctowl}}, his shirt was missing.
* When they find Team Rockets hot air balloon [[Norman]]'s left hand is missing.
* At the end of the episode when Ash and May are leaving and waving goodbye, instead of walking off-screen, for a split second, they appear to walk in place at the screen boundary.

===Dub edits===
* Two separate scenes showing James's head and Max on fire due to Torchic's Ember attack were cut from the dub for being too violent.
* After the scene when James was caught on fire, the scene with Torchic with a sad expression was also taken out from the dub.
* In the {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} version of this episode, the [[Poké Ball]] design on Ash's and May's Badge cases are painted over and replaced with rectangles. This edit occurs every time Ash's Badge case appears in the Hoenn saga, though it initially did not happen in international airings or even on the Region 1 DVD release. This also does not occur in the Cartoon Network or Boomerang airings.

==Blurb==

Now that Pikachu is feeling better, Ash is ready to head to Oldale Town to sign up for the Hoenn League. May has offered to show Ash the way in exchange for his company to Oldale Town—which is only fair, seeing as Pikachu destroyed May's bike when it was sick! In Oldale Town, May visits her first Pokémon Center and is amazed with all of its services, and by the ancient ruins next door. Things quickly turn sour when Team Magma, a mysterious band of criminals, shut down the electricity at the Pokémon Center and kidnap Professor Alden in order to invade the ruins. With no electricity, all of the Pokémon are in danger—including May's Torchic. It's up to Ash and May to save the day—and in doing so they uncover mysterious, ancient Pokémon.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{an|May}} are walking down {{rt|101|Hoenn}} on their way to [[Oldale Town]]. May is already tired, and Ash comments that she's slow. Then May snaps back about her bike. They continue on anyway to the next town. When May asks why Ash doesn't keep {{AP|Pikachu}} in a [[Poké Ball]], Ash simply says it's because Pikachu's his best friend. May wonders if she should do that with {{TP|May|Torchic}}, but Ash suggests maybe looking it up in her [[Pokédex]]. She gets it out and tries searching for [[May's Blaziken|Torchic]], but on the road is an {{p|Azurill}}. May wants to catch it, so she tries just tossing a Poké Ball and snags the Azurill, but the ball breaks open. May doesn't know what's going on, but Ash explains that she needs to [[Pokémon battle|battle]] the Azurill and wear it down before she can catch it.

May sends out her Torchic to battle. While she was thinking about Torchic's attacks, Azurill runs with Torchic tagging behind. Azurill manages to get Torchic to run into a tree, May goes over to see if it's alright. The Azurill still wants to fight, Torchic chases after it again. May then says to use {{m|Peck}}. Torchic goes full speed at the Azurill, but the Azurill dodges, leaving Torchic pecking another tree. May says to Torchic that it missed, so Torchic finds and chases the {{type|Normal}} Pokémon. Finally, Azurill makes Torchic slam into a rock. Torchic is down, but not out, and manages to chase the Azurill into some bushes. Torchic fires an {{m|Ember}} attack, and everyone goes to see what happened. On the other side is a very angry Azurill, along with a burnt, but very mad {{p|Azumarill}} and {{p|Marill}}. They all simultaneously spray {{m|Water Gun}} at Torchic, [[Fainting|knocking it out]] in one shot. Ash scares them off by having Pikachu land a {{m|Thunderbolt}} near them. Then the water trio escape into a pond.

May checks on Torchic, who doesn't look so good. Ash says that the next town has a [[Pokémon Center]], so they should hurry there. While they run the rest of the route, May hopes that her Torchic will make it. Along the way the come across a ruin on top of a hill. They go up on top to check out the place when an archaeologist goes up to them. Ash asks if he knows the way to the nearest Pokémon Center. The archaeologist points out to the distance, saying it's just down the road. The two thank him and head on down.

At the Pokémon Center, May gives Torchic to [[Nurse Joy]] and hopes for the best. Joy says Torchic is okay, but it'll take overnight to restore it. Afterwards, Ash decides to make a call to {{an|Professor Oak}} to tell him where he is and all. During the conversation though, May butts in, after all, it is the famous Professor Oak. After the phone call, May pressures Ash to show her around the Pokémon Center. Ash first shows her the rooms that they get to stay in, then the Trainer lobby. Ash overhears a conversation about the [[Petalburg City]] [[Gym Leader]] and he wants to know what the Gym Leaders are like. But May snaps at Ash, then says that she's hungry and wants to go to the restaurant.

Later outside in a telephone booth, {{TRT}} calls up {{an|Giovanni}}. They tell him that they're in [[Hoenn]], that could mean more opportunities for them. Giovanni isn't too thrilled, since it's the trio who screw up the most. However, Giovanni reconsiders, and since maybe they could take care of [[Team Magma]], he's willing to give them a shot. After he hangs up, he smiles at the thought that they are just in one more area to terrorize.

The two start their meals, May comments how good the food is. May's really excited now, seeing how this is what Trainers get. The archaeologist from before happens to be at the restaurant and asks if he could sit down with them. The two don't mind, in fact maybe they could get some info on the ruins. Just outside the Pokémon Center, Team Rocket is digging a hole. They work hard at it knowing they can get Pikachu if they can just get this done right.

It looks like the archaeologist, whose name is [[Professor Alden]], has his own office in the Center. He tells them about the [[Oldale Ruins]] and how according to legend there are ancient Pokémon to be found there. He notes that there may even be some still alive. Just outside, a Team Magma member spies on them using special goggles. He reports everything is a go and the rest of the group moves in. Back inside, the electricity goes out all of a sudden and then a few Team Magma members with their {{p|Houndoom}} come in. Joy walks by going into the room, but she's caught from behind by another Magma member. One of the members says that they need access to the ruins, and if Professor Alden doesn't comply, they'll do something to the others. He has no choice but to give in.

Team Rocket on the other hand dig up, but only find themselves still outside. And one thing that's not good is that they are surrounded by Magma members! They don't give up that easily and send out their Pokémon. However, Team Magma's Houndoom use {{m|Roar}}, sending the Pokémon back into their balls. With that, Team Rocket runs off.

The gang and Joy are thrown into the storage room. Locked in, they try to find a way out and help Professor Alden before anything goes wrong. Pikachu finds a vent, and they can escape from there. Joy tells them to find the master key and get everything back up if they can.

Back in the ruins, the Magma members continue to pin down Professor Alden with threats, and eventually tells him what to do. They give him a box with four colored orbs, and he knows what to do. Professor Alden puts each on in a wall of one building and it moves, opening the path to a room. The Magma members go in a take pictures. But nothing's interesting here, just a bunch of a drawings on the wall. The leader says they're out of time and it's time to head out.

Ash and Pikachu go inside the vent to try to find the way out. Along the way, May stops them, she wants to come along as well. They go on until they find a split, and they are unsure where to go. Pikachu uses his ears to try to find the way out, and finds it. They follow Pikachu and find a grate where they can escape. Ash kicks down the grate and apparently they aren't too far from the counter. Ash goes up to find the master key while May turns the power back on. Ash goes back and frees nurse Joy, now to find Professor Alden.

They get to the ruins just moments before Team Magma makes their escape on a helicopter, it looks like they're too late for them. They find Professor Alden unharmed fortunately. They ask him what happened and if everything is alright. He says everything's okay, nothing to worry about. Team Rocket behind a rock managed to snag the four orbs, and everything goes well until {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} makes a big scene. The gang notices them and Professor Alden notices they have the orbs. Jessie quickly sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, but Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} and soon enough Pikachu's attack hits Arbok and knocks the orbs away from Team Rocket. Finally Pikachu finishes them off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} and sends Team Rocket flying off once again.

Professor Alden recovers the orbs and they all head inside the room. He places the orbs back into the wall/door and soon it glows. The light trails around through lines in the room. The giant block moves, revealing stairs that lead down. They go down and find an underground lake. Soon enough a {{p|Relicanth}} jumps out of the water and they see that the lake is full of them. Satisfied, Professor Alden thanks the two for their work.

Back in the Pokémon Center, Joy gives May her Torchic back, who's all better. May sends out Torchic, who jumps up to May happily. Now it's off to the next town and another adventure.

==Trivia==
[[File:Recurring stone tablet.png|thumb|right|The recurring stone tablet]]
[[File:Ancient Ruins door.png|thumb|right|The recurring sealed door]]
* The stone tablet that [[Professor Alden]] possesses in this episode is very similar to a stone tablet containing the legend of [[Pokémopolis]], which appears in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'' exactly four years previous.
* One of the doors in the ruins appears similar to the sealed door in the ruins of the [[King of Pokélantis]]' tomb in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', which aired almost four years later.
** This episode is therefore at the midpoint between the [[EP072|two]] [[AG178|episodes]] featuring the ancient civilizations [[Pokémopolis]] and [[Pokélantis]]. In addition, it contains elements from both those episodes.
* [[Max]] and [[Norman]] are both mentioned, though not by name: May tells Professor Oak that her brother never misses one of his Pokémon lectures while some Trainers discuss the [[Petalburg Gym]] having a new leader.
* The four treasures are the same colors as the versions of the four original Japanese games and are arranged in a style similar to the placement of the Poké Balls on the pedestal in Oak's lab when Ash got his Pikachu.
** The order the four were placed were similar to the making of the games in Japan, first red then green, then blue and yellow.
* Pikachu's fondness of ketchup is shown again when Ash and May were eating dinner.
* The dub title of this episode is a reference to the phrase "a room with a view." [[AG164|A later episode]] has a similar title.
*In "[[Who's That Pokémon?]]" the fact given for Crobat is "Evolution gave this Pokémon wings where it had legs!" Although it is mentioned in Pokédex entries that a Golbat's legs become the second pair of wings on a Crobat, Crobat does in fact have small feet.
* This episode aired dubbed the shortest time after the original of any [[4Kids]]-dubbed episode, with only 107 days separating the airings.
* The Brazilian title for this episode is a translation for a later episode in the English dub: ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]''.

===Errors===
*May's Pokédex refers to Azurill as the Water Ball Pokémon, when its official classification is the Polka Dot Pokémon. This was most likely a translation error as 水玉 ''mizutama'', Japanese for "polka dot", can also mean "water ball".
*While being shown around the Pokémon Center, the logo on May's bandanna disappears for a short time.

===Dub edits===
* There is a three-second shot of Jessie performing an ''{{wp|akanbe}}'', which involves pulling her eyelid down and sticking out her tongue at the same time, a common insult in Japan. Like in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', this was cut from the dub. However, other [[EP003|episodes]] featuring akanbe [[EP046|before]] and [[DP113|after]] this and [[AG072]] had no such edits.

Pokémon in Russia

MrKarl: /* The return of Pokémon */

{{CountryInfobox
|logo=Pokemon logo Cyrillic.png
|area=Russia
|language={{wp|Russian language|Russian}}
|continent={{wp|Europe}} and {{wp|Asia}}
|EP001=December 18, 2000
|AG001=May 18, 2015
|DP001=September 20, 2008
|BW001=November 6, 2012
|XY001=September 20, 2014}}
The Pokémon franchise first reached '''{{wp|Russia}}''' in December of 2000, when [[EP001|first episode]] was premiered. In Cyrillic script, Pokémon is written as '''Покемон''' and its plural is '''Покемоны''' ''pokemony''.

==Pokémon anime==
===First wave of Pokémon in Russia===
Pokémon was originally brought over to Russia by Sargona Ltd., which sold English-language cards from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Pokémon anime was first shown on ORT (now known as Channel One), which is the main television station in Russia.

[[File:Channel One Russia.png|thumb|left|ORT (Channel One) logo]]
The rights to the series were purchased in early 2000 and episodes began to appear by December of the same year. The Russian translation of the anime, which was conducted by the {{wp|Kiev|Kievan}} Pilot Studio, is based on the English dub. The Russian version of the anime retains all of the English character names to match the Pokémon TCG cards that had been already released.

While the translation quality of the Russian dub is considered to be high by most fans, a few changes had been made. For example, some locations had slightly different names, such as [[Dark City]] being retitled {{tt|Мрачный Город|Gloomy City}}. However, the lyrics to Pokémon Theme were later retranslated and used in the last episodes of ''[[S01|Indigo League]]''. Any episodes of the anime which were banned in the United States were also [[Banned episodes|banned]] in Russia.

In an interview with Afisha magazine, the management director of children's programming on ORT, {{wp|Sergey Suponev}}, assured viewers in the harmlessness of Pokémon:

<blockquote>
«Our plan to broadcast this show can be called madness by someone. There was a lot of noise around this series all over the world. In fact, it is a pretty harmless thing. A sweet story about a boy who saves animals and teaches them to fight for justice. And there are bad guys who want to send them to the zoo for lots of money - that's all there is to be scandalous.»
</blockquote>

Within a day of the anime's television premiere, the management of public relations of ORT had invited journalists and children from an Otradnoye shelter to a Rolan cinema for a presentation of the series. The children received the presentation well, and then took a quiz organized by ORT.

[[File:Charizard chills rus.jpg‎|thumb|right|The last episode shown on ORT: ''Charizard Chills'']]
From December 18, 2000 to January 25, 2001, the anime was broadcasted by ORT. In February 5, 2001 they began to show the series again until August 2001. The last episode to air on ORT was ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''. 104 episodes of the [[original series]] were shown.

After this, the Pokémon anime was not aired in Russia for seven years. Many fans wrote to TV channels asking them to air the anime, but the only appearance of Pokémon on Russian TV was the airing of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M04|Pokémon 4Ever]]'' on ORT at 6:00 am.

Many rumors have circulated in speculation of why ORT stopped airing the anime, including:
* A Japanese channel may have shown an offensive video about Russia. This has been unproven.
* Some believe that ORT canceled the show because Sergey Suponev, the director of children's programming of ORT, died in a snowmobile accident, and the new director supposedly did not like Pokémon.
* Others believe that Russian newspapers and the {{wp|yellow press}} pressured the station to cancel the show. Some reported that Pokémon was causing [[EP038|epileptic seizures]], others wrote that Pokémon "brainwashes children" with {{wp|subliminal stimuli#Consumption and television|subliminal stimuli}}. ORT didn't want its reputation to fall, so they stopped airing Pokémon.
* ORT and the Japanese creators of the anime couldn't make an agreement on the price of licensing the anime.

===The return of Pokémon===
[[File:TNT logo.png|thumb|right|TNT logo]]
On September 20, 2008 {{wp|TNT (Russia)|TNT}}, another Russian channel, premiered the [[DP001|first]] episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. The tenth season was shown fully.

As of 2013, there were no plans for airing the [[S15|two]] [[S16|remaining]] seasons of the [[Best Wishes series|series]] on TNT or any other Russian channel, creating a hiatus in airings of the anime.
{{bulbanews|Pokémon anime, TCG return to Russia}}

The hiatus was broken on March 12, 2014, when {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}}, the Russian channel, which specializes on teenager-oriented {{wp|animated series}} signed a five-year contract with Pokémon Company International to broadcast the anime. The series started with airing ''[[S14|Pokémon: Black & White]]'' on May 1-11, 2014. On May 12, 2014, ''[[S15|Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]'' began to run on {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}}. This season marks the total localization of the anime. The season logo, the episode title card, the name of the [[Who's That Pokémon?|eyecatch]] Pokémon are all written in Russian.

''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', ''[[M03|The Spell of Unown: Entei]]'', as well as their respective [[Pikachu Shorts]], also, there are dubs of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. All those movies were officially released on {{wp|DVD}} and {{wp|VHS}}. ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' was aired on Jetix, also, the Russian dub of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' was revealed to be on Polish DVD release of this movie.<ref>[http://www.timfilmstudio.com.pl/katalog-produktow/produkt,2755,pokemon-zoroark-mistrz-iluzji.html Katalog produktów - Film studio]</ref> {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}} got the airing license for movies connected to the [[Best Wishes series]].

===Cast and crew===
====Pilot Studio dub====
[[Ash Ketchum]] had been voiced by Anna Leshchenko (Анна Лещенко). Tatiana Zinovenko (Татьяна Зиновенко) had given her voice to {{an|Misty}} and [[Jessie]]. Anatolii Zinovenko (Анатолий Зиновенко) was the voice of [[James]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{an|Giovanni}} and the [[narrator]]. Dmitrii Zavadskii (Дмитрий Завадский) was the voice of [[Gary Oak]], {{MTR}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{Tracey}}.

====SDI Media dub====
Larisa Nekipelova (Лариса Некипелова) has been voicing Ash and {{an|Cynthia}}. {{an|Dawn}} had been voiced by Olga Shorohova (Ольга Шорохова). She has also given her voice to [[Kenny (Sinnoh)|Kenny]], {{an|Bianca}} and [[Burgundy]]. Alexander Kovrizhnih (Александр Коврижных) was the voice of Brock. Zhanna Nikonova (Жанна Никонова) is the voice of {{an|Iris}} and [[Professor Juniper]]. {{an|Cilan}} and [[Volkner]] are voiced by Diomid Vinogradov (Диомид Виноградов).

Some episodic roles are voiced by Alexei Kostrichkin (Алексей Костричкин), Natalya Kaznacheeva (Наталья Казначеева), Daniil Eldarov (Даниил Эльдаров), Alexander Voronov (Александр Воронов) and Alexander Gavrilin (Александр Гаврилин).

==Pokémon games==
At first, [[Nintendo]] handheld consoles were not very popular in Russia and Pokémon games could be rarely found in shops. The games were distributed by "Noviy Disc", Nintendo's official distributor between 2006 and 2011, and usually games became available with great delay after the European release and at a high cost, but the situation changed when Nintendo of Europe opened its office in Russia: They stopped working with "Noviy Disk", took a new distributor called "OCS" and especially opened their owned online store. Now 3DS games are available for sale at least on their official store '''[https://mir.nintendo.ru/ Mir Nintendo]'''. {{g|X and Y}} were the first Pokémon games in Russia released in the same time than the rest of the world thanks to this Nintendo online store. Pokémon video games are not localized in Russian, however, there have been few fan translations of the GBA games circulating among Russian fans.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
{{bulbanews|Pokémon Trading Card Game coming to Russia in October}}
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was released in Russia, and obtained "the same cult status" as it did in Britain.<ref name="guardian">[http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/nov/24/russia.nickpatonwalsh Barbie is banned from Russia, without love | World news | The Observer] (retrieved May 5, 2010)</ref> The Russian government attempted to ban or, in the least, censor the game in late 2001-2002, but it seems that this was not carried through.

The Trading Card Game was evidently released in English, as the government wanted the cards to be translated into Russian as part of the censorship.

When the anime stopped airing, the Pokémon Trading Cards stopped releasing as well.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game returned to Russia when they were distributed along with toys in {{wp|Happy Meal|Happy Meals}} in Russian {{wp|McDonald's}} in January 2012.

The [[XY (TCG)|Pokémon Trading Card Game: XY]] goes on sale in Russia on October 6, 2014. It will be the first Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion in Russia since the original {{TCG|Base Set}}.

==[[Pokémon merchandise]]==
There is a lot of Pokémon merchandise, which used to be especially popular during the airing of the anime on ORT. Toys, {{wp|Playing card|playing cards}} (not Trading Card Game ones), official magazines, {{wp|pogs}}, {{pkmn|clothing|clothes}}, and other merchandise found a quick sale. In 2001, {{wp|PepsiCo}} had released its drinks with {{wp|Stereoscopy|stereoscopic}} screenshots of the anime placed on the bottles' caps — these caps are highly valued as collectibles among Russian fans. ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'' and the ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook 2]]'' by [[Maria Barbo]] were translated and released under the name "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion|Справочник чемпиона покемонов spravochnik chempiona pokemonov}}" and "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion II|Справочник чемпиона покемонов II spravochnik chempiona pokemonov dva}}" respectively.

==Trivia==
*Some episodes dubbed by Pilot Studio were based on the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} version instead of the English dub. This is why [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]] are called "Alabastia" and "Vertania". Also, there was a dub error in [[EP003]] where Polish words can be heard.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuP444AYK5A Third Episode in Russian] (retrieved September 16, 2014)</ref>
*Anastasiya Fomicheva, the actress who voiced {{an|Dawn}}, is registered at the Russian Pokémon League.<ref>http://pokeliga.com/index.phtml?comments=518 (retrieved May 5, 2010)</ref>
*Pilot Studio also dubbed the Pokémon anime in {{wp|Ukrainian language|Ukrainian}} with the same actors.
*In non-English material in Russia, English names are used for Pokémon and characters, but transliterated into Cyrillic characters (as is the case with the Pokémon logo, above).

==Pokémon games==
At first, [[Nintendo]] handheld consoles were not very popular in Russia and Pokémon games could be rarely found in shops. The games were distributed by "Noviy Disc", Nintendo's official distributor between 2006 and 2011, and usually games became available with great delay after the European release and at a high cost, but the situation changed when Nintendo of Europe opened its office in Russia: They stopped working with "Noviy Disk", took a new distributor called "OCS" and especially opened their owned online store. Now 3DS games are available for sale at least on their official store '''[https://mir.nintendo.ru/ Mir Nintendo]'''. {{g|X and Y}} were the first Pokémon games in Russia released in the same time than the rest of the world thanks to this Nintendo online store. Pokémon video games are not localized in Russian, however, there have been few fan translations of the GBA games circulating among Russian fans.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
{{bulbanews|Pokémon Trading Card Game coming to Russia in October}}
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was released in Russia, and obtained "the same cult status" as it did in Britain.<ref name="guardian">[http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/nov/24/russia.nickpatonwalsh Barbie is banned from Russia, without love | World news | The Observer] (retrieved May 5, 2010)</ref> The Russian government attempted to ban or, in the least, censor the game in late 2001-2002, but it seems that this was not carried through.

The Trading Card Game was evidently released in English, as the government wanted the cards to be translated into Russian as part of the censorship.

When the anime stopped airing, the Pokémon Trading Cards stopped releasing as well.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game returned to Russia when they were distributed along with toys in {{wp|Happy Meal|Happy Meals}} in Russian {{wp|McDonald's}} in January 2012.

The [[XY (TCG)|Pokémon Trading Card Game: XY]] goes on sale in Russia on October 6, 2014. It will be the first Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion in Russia since the original {{TCG|Base Set}}.

==[[Pokémon merchandise]]==
There is a lot of Pokémon merchandise, which used to be especially popular during the airing of the anime on ORT. Toys, {{wp|Playing card|playing cards}} (not Trading Card Game ones), official magazines, {{wp|pogs}}, {{pkmn|clothing|clothes}}, and other merchandise found a quick sale. In 2001, {{wp|PepsiCo}} had released its drinks with {{wp|Stereoscopy|stereoscopic}} screenshots of the anime placed on the bottles' caps — these caps are highly valued as collectibles among Russian fans. ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'' and the ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook 2]]'' by [[Maria Barbo]] were translated and released under the name "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion|Справочник чемпиона покемонов spravochnik chempiona pokemonov}}" and "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion II|Справочник чемпиона покемонов II spravochnik chempiona pokemonov dva}}" respectively.

==Trivia==
*Some episodes dubbed by Pilot Studio were based on the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} version instead of the English dub. This is why [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]] are called "Alabastia" and "Vertania". Also, there was a dub error in [[EP003]] where Polish words can be heard.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuP444AYK5A Third Episode in Russian] (retrieved September 16, 2014)</ref>
*Anastasiya Fomicheva, the actress who voiced {{an|Dawn}}, is registered at the Russian Pokémon League.<ref>http://pokeliga.com/index.phtml?comments=518 (retrieved May 5, 2010)</ref>
*Pilot Studio also dubbed the Pokémon anime in {{wp|Ukrainian language|Ukrainian}} with the same actors.
*In non-English material in Russia, English names are used for Pokémon and characters, but transliterated into Cyrillic characters (as is the case with the Pokémon logo, above).

==Blurb==

In the underground Diamond Domain, where many Carbink live, the Mythical Pokémon Diancie serves as ruler. The Heart Diamond that sustains the land is beginning to fall apart, and Diancie is not yet strong enough to create a new one. While seeking help from the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas, Diancie encounters a group of thieves who want to take control of its diamond-producing power—and who awaken the Legendary Pokémon Yveltal from its cocoon in the process! Can Ash and his friends help Diancie discover its true power, stop Yveltal’s rampage, and save the Diamond Domain?

==Plot==
{{Spoilers}}
As the movie begins, {{an|Diancie}} is happily running from her [[Carbink servants]] in the Diamond Domain, while one of them, Merrick, tells her that it is time and that he is not playing. However, he then trips on a pile of diamonds that fall on him and the other two servants, Bort and Allotrope. An elderly voice then calls for Diancie, revealing itself to be Dace, the elder Carbink. He tells Diancie that the Heart Diamond, which powers the Diamond Domain, will soon die, and the domain will falter as a result. However, Diancie accuses him of exaggerating and that worrying too much will cause him to lose his luster. Dace, however, tells her to take it seriously. After Diancie tries and fails to make a Heart Diamond in front of Dace and the Carbink servants, she begins to feel hopeless, but then Dace tells her to find Xerneas and its Fairy Aura. He reveals that when he was young, a catastrophe occurred in the Allearth Forest, destroying the forest and killing him, but he was revived by Xerneas, which is why he is still alive. Meanwhile, in a battle arena, Diantha and Wikstrom are battling with Mega Gardevoir and Mega Scizor, respectively, as Diantha wins the match.

Later on, the scene changes to {{Ash}} and his friends, who are battling a {{p|Barbaracle}}. Later, in [[Avugnon Town]] Ash battles an Ace Trainer named Astrid. {{AP|Pikachu}} battles Astrid's Pyroar, and defeats it with Electro Ball. They then switch over to Froakie and Meowstic, respectively, who engage in a very close battle, but ultimately, Meowstic overpowers {{AP|Froakie}} and defeats it. Meanwhile, Diancie is on its way to the town, when she is attacked by a mysterious woman with a {{p|Delphox}} and a man with a {{p|Greninja}}, who give chase to it around the city. The scene then shifts over to Ash and Astrid once again, where Ash sends out his {{AP|Hawlucha}}, and Astrid sends out {{p|Absol}}, which she proceeds to Mega Evolve, much to the amazement of Ash and friends. Hawlucha battles well, but is defeated by Dark Pulse. Ash then comments on how powerful Mega Evolution is.

As Ash and his friends are walking around town, Pikachu hears something in the distance and goes to investigate, with Ash and co. following. They then see a Pokemon get attacked by a mysterious woman and man, [[Marilyn Flame]] and [[Ninja Riot]] respectively, as the two begin to argue over possession of Diancie. Ash quickly steps in to help Diancie, and tells Marilyn and Riot to stop, also telling Diancie that this is her chance to escape, while {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} lead her to safety. Riot also calls Marilyn a blabbermouth for her talking. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Delphox and Greninja, which knocks them out and Ash then flees.

Once everything has been cleared, Diancie tells Ash and friends that she is very grateful to them for saving her, surprising them as she can talk. Clemont notes that this is via telepathy, and Bonnie remarks on how cute Diancie is. Serena gets out her guidebook, and reveals that this Pokemon is called Diancie, and that she has the power to make diamonds. Ash and friends also introduce themselves to Diancie. They also inform Diancie of what a thief is, and Diancie then remarks on how much she has learned already of the outside world. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is spying on them from a rooftop.

Ash and friends go to have dinner along with Diancie, and Diancie then eats with them. Diancie tries out some of the new food, and when Bonnie asks Diancie to join her to get more food, she formally accepts the offer. Serena remarks on how Diancie has manners like a royal princess. Team Rocket then sneaks up on the crew with a sack, and they take Diancie and kidnap her, to which Ash and friends then try to follow. Team Rocket then carries Diancie to a clock tower, then demanding her to make diamonds for them. She does so, making a large amount of diamonds that they bathe in. Meanwhile, a mysterious girl then arrives and helps Diancie run from the clock tower. She then reunites with Ash and friends. She also tells them that her objective is to find Xerneas and its Fairy Aura in hopes that she can be able to make permanent diamonds. Clemont remarks on how Xerneas is the legendary Pokemon of life. Diancie also explains that her diamonds are only temporary, and that Team Rocket will be majorly disappointed. Meanwhile, back at the clock tower, the diamonds all disappear, much to their own dismay. Ash and his friends then want to join Diancie in her quest to find Xerneas, and Diancie approves in a very formal tone, to which Ash is surprised. Bonnie and Serena remark on how Diancie again shows manners of a royal princess.

Meanwhile, the mysterious girl, named Millis Steel, returns to a stealthy ship, which inside, a man named Argus Steel is monitoring the activity of Diancie as well as that of Marilyn and Riot. Argus then notices Team Rocket, but then exclaims that they're only the least of his worries. He is also eating a box of chocolates in the process. Millis then arrives and remarks on Diancie's progress. Argus is satisfied, and he then goes on to talk about chocolates and how a certain chocolate is good and has great quality. Millis then begins to worry about Argus's health as well as his obsession with chocolate, to which Argus states he is aware. Despite this, he cannot resist the chocolate he is holding and eats that as well.

The scene then changes to Ash and his friends, along with Diancie, sitting in the back row of a bus. Diancie then feels the Fairy Aura, and explains to Ash and friends that the Fairy Aura is sensed in a trail after they ask if she is sure they are going down the right path. She also tells Ash and friends that she was taught to be honest, and that lying is never a good thing. Meanwhile, Ash rubs Pikachu on the head, much to the latter's enjoyment.

As night falls, Ash and friends are preparing to go to sleep. Diancie then tries to make another Heart Diamond, but fails. She then notices a shooting star. As such, Ash, who was awakened by this, then decides to teach Diancie how to make a wish upon a shooting star, and the two proceed to make a wish. Ash then wishes upon the shooting star that Diancie will one day be able to make the best diamonds she had ever made. Serena is staring from her tent in admiration.

The next morning, Ash and his friends then take a ship to [[Orseille City]], along with Diancie. She remarks on how she has had the most fun ever since she joined Ash and friends. They then tell Diancie that they are her friends, and explain to her what friends are. Diancie then suddenly creates a diamond, which Bonnie catches. Diancie tells her it will disappear eventually, but Bonnie asks her to let her keep it, so Diancie then approves. They enjoy the view of the sea, but all of them get water splashed on them. They then head to the city, and decide to go to the shopping mall. Diancie, with her lack of knowledge of the real world, assumes that it is a castle, and asks Ash and his friends who the "castle" belongs to, but Ash and Serena tell her that it is not a castle, but rather a shopping mall. Bonnie and Serena then decide to take Diancie shopping, and run to a clothing store, trying on new clothes for fun while Ash and Clemont wait in the hall in boredom. As Diancie is trying on a new dress, with Serena and Bonnie seeing her as a real princess, Diancie begins to panic when she realizes that Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope are in the shopping mall.

Bonnie and Serena then reunite with Ash and Clemont, and they tell them to hurry up with the shopping. However, Diancie then begins running in a panic when she sees Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope walking down the other staircase, and runs around telling Ash and friends that they found her. Diancie then runs around the entire shopping mall while the three Carbink give chase. Ash and his friends begin to think that the Carbink are working with the thieves, and Clemont uses his stretchable ladder to help Ash get Diancie, which Ash uses along with Hawlucha to get Diancie back, and he grabs her and they begin to look at each other in happiness. Merrick is dismayed.

Ash and his friends then are outside, wondering what Pokemon Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope were. Clemont reveals that they were {{p|Carbink}}, and that it was such a rarity for them to show up in the mall. Diancie then sadly states "They finally found me...". Just then, Marilyn appears in front of them, asking Diancie about her first shopping experience then proceeding to try and steal her once again. Ash battles Marilyn, while Serena acquires a Rhyhorn from a ranch, and brings herself, Diancie, Clemont and Bonnie aboard to safety, almost disturbing an ongoing Rhyhorn Race. Diancie is then dismayed, saying that she had led them into danger and that this is all her fault, but Clemont tells her that friends always support each other. Bonnie is angry at Clemont for having stolen what was supposed to be her line. Riot, however, then appears along a tree, and he also tries to steal Diancie using his Greninja. Clemont and Serena proceed to battle Riot's Greninja, and Ash soon joins in. Marilyn also begins to try to capture Diancie, and as Delphox and Greninja attack Diancie, however, Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope step in front of Diancie and take the attacks for her. As another set of attacks launch, Diancie uses Diamond Storm to protect her loyal Carbink servants, but this diamond shatters. A Pin Missile hits Greninja, revealing it to be the girl that helped Diancie get away from Team Rocket, along with her Chesnaught. She then tells Diancie to get away while she still can, and she then fights Marilyn and Riot. Marilyn recognizes her as [[Millis Steel]], remarking that her presence must mean that [[Argus Steel]] is present as well.

Later on, Ash and his friends are walking with Diancie and the Carbink. Merrick then tells Ash and his friends that his job, along with that of Bort and Allotrope, is to protect Diancie at all costs. Bonnie and Serena then remark that she is a real princess, and that the Carbink must be her bodyguards. Merrick then asks Diancie who Ash and company are, and before Ash can explain, Diancie tells Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope that Ash and company are her friends. This leaves the Carbink servants mildly surprised. Merrick also tells Ash that they have been searching for Xerneas for many months, and have not succeeded. Diancie then reveals that she saw a city in the distance one day, and it looked very fun to her, and she went while the Carbink were asleep. Merrick then reveals that he was worried that Diancie must have felt trapped by his, along with Bort and Allotrope's presence. Diancie then apologizes for running away, and Merrick tells her to never do it again.

Diancie and the Carbink then bring Ash and friends to their home, the Diamond Domain. However, Diancie and the Carbink come home to see the Diamond Domain in darkness and beginning to fall apart. Diancie then wonders what has happened. Dace then steps in, and sadly reveals to Diancie that the Heart Diamond has died, much to Diancie's surprise. Ash and friends then ask Diancie what the Heart Diamond is, and she explains that the Heart Diamond powers the Domain, and that it will now no longer do so. Dace then explains that only Diancie can create a new Heart Diamond. Diancie tells Dace that she still lacks the power to make a new Heart Diamond, but Dace then tells Diancie that he has every confidence that Xerneas will awaken her true power. Ash and friends then realize why Diancie is seeking Xerneas. Diancie then begins to break down and cry, saying that she has failed her own people and that she doesn't deserve to be called a princess. Ash, however, tells Diancie that crying won't solve anything. Diancie then agrees to that and begins to feel more determined. Dace is moved by this.

Ash, his friends, Diancie, and the Carbink (this time including Dace), then leave through another exit, and they see a large, lush forest, much to their amazement. Dace then reveals to Diancie that this is the Allearth Forest, and that it is a forbidden forest due to the presence of what is known as the "Cocoon of Destruction", a Pokemon called Yveltal, and that whoever disturbs its sleep will receive harsh retribution. Ash and his friends, along with Diancie and the Carbink, then walk through the forest and see all the Pokemon peacefully living. However, Diancie then senses an aura, and she then runs quickly, but trips over a log. When she gets up, however, standing right in front of her is Xerneas. She then speaks to it, with Ash, his friends, and the Carbink watching. Xerneas then speaks through its Fairy Aura, revealing that it knows that Diancie has been following it for a while, and it knows what it seeks from it. It then gives Diancie its Fairy Aura, which the Carbink servants and Dedenne as well. Before it leaves, it tells Diancie that the power to nourish life lies within Diancie herself. Diancie then states that she is very grateful.

However, before Diancie can begin testing her powers, Millis Steel and Argus Steel arrive by ship, having revealed that they only helped Diancie as they knew she was seeking Xerneas and that they now want her powers at that moment. Team Rocket watches from the distance, recognizing the Steels as master thieves. Marilyn and Riot also appear, along with Team Rocket, and they all begin to fight over possession of Diancie. This fighting eventually takes them into a lake with a deep crater, and all of the thieves fall in, along with Ash, and they all feel a mysterious power inside the lake. Soon, this power begins to awaken, just as Diancie and the Carbink, along with Ash's friends, arrive on the scene. Dace is then dismayed and tells Ash and Diancie that they must get out of there quickly. A mysterious cocoon then appears out of the center of the lake, to which Dace reveals is the Cocoon of Destruction.

As the Cocoon of Destruction appears, it awakens and reveals itself to be Yveltal. It then activates its Dark Aura, and looks at all who disturbed its sleep, as Marilyn, Riot, and the Steels escape the crater. Yveltal then roars loudly and flies around the forest. It goes after Riot first, flying and firing {{m|Oblivion Wing}} on all of the forest around Riot, turning all of the trees around him into stone. This also hits Greninja and his two Ninjask, turning them into Stone, as Diancie escapes from Riot's possession, only to be taken by Marilyn. Yveltal then goes after Marilyn and her Delphox and Yanmega, and turns the forest around her into stone with Oblivion Wing, along with Delphox and Yanmega. She then looks on in sadness as Diancie escapes. She almost reunites with Ash, his friends, and the Carbink, but the Steels, on their {{p|Aegislash}} and {{p|Doublade}}, then proceed to take Diancie. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is trying to escape, but Yveltal finds them and fires Oblivion Wing, turning them and the trees around them to stone as well. The Steels run off, but Yveltal then fires another Oblivion Wing at them, but Ash intercepts with Pikachu's Thunderbolt. Yveltal then uses Oblivion Wing on the Steels again, which Chesnaught blocks with Spiky Shield. However, even though the Steels and Aegislash survive, Honedge, Doublade and Chesnaught are turned to stone. Diancie then escapes with Ash. Meanwhile, Marilyn is grieving over the loss of her Delphox, but Riot steps in and comforts her, telling her to forget about Diancie, ultimately confessing to her. The two embrace before Yveltal then fires another Oblivion Wing at the two.

Diancie and Ash then try to fight off Yveltal, and escape. Ash's friends and the Carbink then see the situation, and Dace realizes the forest is dying once again. Diancie then tries to protect Ash and friends from another Oblivion Wing with Diamond Storm, but the diamond shatters again. Ash and Diancie run off, but Yveltal fires another Oblivion Wing. However, Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope then step in to take the Oblivion Wing, and they too are turned to stone. As Merrick is being turned to stone, he tells Ash to protect Diancie. Ash and Pikachu are then sent flying, and Ash tries to save Pikachu on a cliff, and Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie are then trying to help Ash up. Meanwhile, Diancie begins to cry and think of herself as a complete failure upon failing to create a Heart Diamond, as well as seeing Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope having perished. Soon, with determination, however, she then proceeds to Mega Evolve. The diamond she gave Bonnie glows, revealing it to be a Diancite. Diancie then creates a new diamond to protect Ash, his friends, and Dace from another hit, and this diamond does not shatter. Dace remarks on how Diancie is now finally able to create a heart diamond.

The Steels then arrive in their ship, and proceed to fire missiles at Yveltal to hurt it, but Yveltal dodges many of the missiles and survives the damage. It then flies above the ship and shatters the top, then firing an Oblivion Wing at the Steels from point-black range, and the ship's engines explode. The ship crashes into a lake. Yveltal the proceeds to fire a final Oblivion Wing as Ash and company, but this one is then intercepted by an Aurora Beam. Ash and his friends then look towards where the attack was fired, and this is revealed to be Xerneas standing and confronting Yveltal. Yveltal then fires a Shadow Ball at Xerneas, but it uses Aurora Beam again to intercept the hit. It then uses its Fairy Aura to communicate with Yveltal and remove its Dark Aura. Yveltal then restores the water and flies off in peace.

Ash and his friends are then relieved that Yveltal had left. However, Pikachu then begins to lose its strength. Ash tries to ask Pikachu what is wrong, but then Pikachu suddenly begins to steadily turn into stone, much to everyone's dismay, and Clemont realizes Pikachu was barely struck at the edge of its tail by Oblivion Wing. They all grieve over Pikachu, but then Xerneas steps in and uses {{m|Geomancy}}, restoring Pikachu, the thieves, Team Rocket, and the Carbink to life, as well as restoring the entire Allearth Forest back to its original state. As it does so, however, it begins to transform into a tree. Dace then tells everyone that Xerneas has chosen to slumber here to protect the balance of nature. Serena, Bonnie, and Diancie worry that this may mean the death of Xerneas, however, Xerneas then communicates through Diancie via its Fairy Aura, telling her that it is not dying-but rather that this is the promise of life, and the beginning of hope.

Ash and his friends then watch as Diancie creates a new Heart Diamond, and everything has ended well. Bonnie gives Diancie the diamond, telling her that this will forever be the mark of their friendship. They then part ways with Diancie and the Carbink.

In the credits, Serena is making a wish, with Ash watching. It is revealed that Argus and Millis now run a chocolate shop, with one of their signature chocolates resembling the Honedge line. Marilyn Flame then acquires work at a clothing store, while Riot comes to her, and proposes marriage. Ash and his friends then continue their journey through [[Kalos]]. Meanwhile, Yveltal flies peacefully over a mountain, and Xerneas remains in the Allearth Forest in its tree form.

==Events==

===Pre-order distribution===
In Japan, players could receive a [[List of Japanese region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Wonderland Darkrai|Darkrai]] via a serial code, after purchasing a pre-order ticket at a [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center store]] as well as other retail stores from April 19 to July 19, 2014. Players had until September 30, 2014 to redeem their code. The serial code only worked on Japanese region games.

===Movie distributions===
[[File:M17 Diancie distribution artwork.png|150px|right|thumb|Diancie distribution artwork]]
In Japan, [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Movie Diancie|Diancie]] was distributed at theaters which screen the movie across Japan, which occurred from July 19 to September 30, 2014. It also was distributed at a pre-showing of the movie on July 6, 2014, which was only open to select people. Like all other local Generation VI events, this event was not region-locked; any player regardless of region and language were able to receive Diancie.

==Trivia==
* Director Kunihiko Yuyama traveled to {{pmin|Canada}} to scout out locations for the settings of this film.
* This is the first movie to have its dub title revealed before its Japanese release.
* This movie has more human antagonists than any other movie, with four.
* While other movies have featured in-person cameos of [[Champion]]s and [[Frontier Brain]]s, this is the first film that features an in-person cameo of an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Had ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'' not been delayed from airing, this movie would have featured the first appearance of [[Ash's Hawlucha]], as the [[XY035|episode where it was caught]] would not have aired until after the movie's release.
** [[Ash's Fletchinder]] makes a cameo appearance in this movie despite having not evolved from {{AP|Fletchling}} before the movie's release.
* This is the first movie in which Ash and his friends encounter Team Rocket since ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', which also aired on July 19th, coincidentally.
** This is also the first movie to feature Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth Balloon]] since its design changes in the {{series|Best Wishes!}}.
* Argus Steel mentions that the chocolates he was eating in the airship scene were imported from the [[Hoenn]] region.
* [[Pete Zarustica]] (previously the voice of [[Drew]] when the show was dubbed by 4Kids) returns to voice Argus Steel.

===Dub edits===
* Similar to the first three Pokémon movies, the vast majority of the film's soundtrack has been rescored with dub-exclusive music.
* In the initial television airing of this film, the following edits are made:
** Extensive scene cutting to shorten the film's runtime.
** The opening theme song does not have any lyrics, and the scenes featured during it are fully voiced.
** The scenes shown during the credits are omitted.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

While Ash and Serena do some special training and Clemont works on his inventions, Bonnie explores the forest, where she meets a trio of kids who call themselves the Lapras Defense Force. They show Bonnie to their hideout and introduce her to their friend Lapras, who is recovering from an injury and seems to be running a fever. The three of them really don't trust grown-ups, but when Ash, Serena, and Clemont come looking for Bonnie, the kids reluctantly agree to let Nurse Joy make a house call to their hideout.

After some medical attention, Lapras is feeling much better, but it keeps looking out toward the water and crying. Clemont figures out that it misses its ocean home, and the kids decide to take it back there. Despite a boulder blocking the way and a run-in with Team Rocket, Lapras is soon reunited with its family.

Bonnie bids farewell to her new friends, and our heroes resume their trek to Coumarine City!

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
[[File:Title Card XY Ash.png|thumb|200px|The dub's title card]]
* The title card segment focuses on, and is read by, Ash in the dub instead of Bonnie.
* In the dub, the kids start crying because Ash comments that ''"Lapras is going downhill fast"'', then Clemont says that he would rather not think about it. In the original version, Ash explicitly says that if they leave Lapras there, they will ''"let it die"'', and Clemont adds that it may be a possibility in the worst case scenario.
* For an unknown reason, the title card lacks the characters' shadows in the Polish dub.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Clemont introduces our heroes to the school where he studied Electric-type Pokémon. He graduated with top honors after inventing a device that stores electricity for all to use, thanks to inspiration from his friend Shinx. Team Rocket is determined to steal that electricity, but a wild Luxio who lives near the transformer is keeping everyone at bay.

When Luxio (who evolves from Shinx) gives Clemont the cold shoulder, he has a hunch about what’s going on. He explains that just before he left school, he had planned to meet up with Shinx and ask it to come with him. Clemont never made it to that meeting, and he suspects his friend never forgave him for that.

Later, during a battle with Team Rocket, Clemont throws himself in front of Luxio to protect it. Afterward, he apologizes to Luxio and promises to meet in their usual spot the next day. When the time comes, Clemont is waiting when Luxio finally arrives, and the two of them continue their journey together!

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
On their journey to [[Coumarine City]], {{an|Clemont}} stops to show {{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} an old invention of his. He invites {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} to try it out. It acts like an electric shower, allowing {{type|Electric}} Pokémon to absorb the electricity he needs. He calls it a "Clemontic Shower". Suddenly, a young blue-haired woman in a lab coat runs by, who Clemont calls Miss [[Éclairisse]]. He introduces her as a teacher at the academy he studied at when he was young, and Bonnie once again futilely tries to arrange a marriage.

She then invites Ash and his friends on a tour of the academy. Mysteriously, as they walk off, a wild {{p|Luxio}} watches. After giving Ash and his friends the grand tour, Clemont begins to talk about how [[Meyer]] enrolled him into the academy, and how he met you-know-who, who turns out to be a {{p|Shinx}}. Shinx was injured from lack of electricity. After being nursed at a [[Pokémon Center]], [[Nurse Joy]] tells Clemont that lots of Electric-type Pokémon are suffering from lack of electricity. Clemont then gets the idea for his Clemontic Showers, which he invents with Shinx and becomes a success all over town. He tells Shinx of his dream to make a world where all Pokémon can be happy, a dream Shinx seems to support.

Back in the present day, {{TRT}} overhears Clemont talking about his Clemontic Showers and how they would attract Electric-type Pokémon, including Ash's Pikachu. They go into the sewers to manipulate the electricity. However, they are stopped in their tracks by the wild Luxio. Suddenly, there is a blackout. Ash and his friends, as well as [[Officer Jenny]], go to investigate. They catch Team Rocket red-handed, and also notice Luxio. Clemont briefly sees the Shinx he befriended in the Luxio's eyes as it glares at him. Luxio tries to attack, but Ash and his friends redirect him to Team Rocket. Luxio then follows Team Rocket to an electrical tower.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends are discussing the Luxio they saw as Serena grooms her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}. Serena suspects that the Luxio they saw was indeed Clemont's Shinx evolved. Clemont agrees, and tells the story about how he and Shinx were separated. It was the day before his graduation and he was going to deliver a cake to Shinx and ask to catch him and be his partner. But then the mayor alives and forces him into his limo to go to a party celebrating his invention. Clemont sees Shinx soon to be disappointed as he leaves, and when he returns, Shinx leaves, assuming Clemont abandoned him.

Luxio confronts Team Rocket and {{MTR}} says that Luxio is trying to make a world where all Pokémon can be happy. After Clemont defends Luxio, Luxio remembers his friendship with Clemont as a Shinx and licks him as a sign of affection. Then Luxio fights Team Rocket and sends them blasting off. When Clemont, Ash, and the girls are saying goodbye to Luxio, Clemont tells Luxio to meet him in the Town Square if he still wants to be his partner. Just as they are about to give up hope of Luxio forgiving Clemont, he jumps out of the bushes and allows himself to be captured, while Clemont cries tears of joy. Now they leave happily, with Clemont's new partner in hand.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Our heroes meet up with Shauna, their friend from summer camp, who takes them to see their first Pokémon Showcase! Aria, the Kalos Queen, starts things off with a fantastic exhibition performance with her Braixen. But just as the competition is getting under way, a wild Pancham runs onto the stage and cuts things short with its antics. Ash is disappointed, but Shauna and Serena are delighted that they got to see Aria perform—and Shauna is already making plans to enter the next Pokémon Showcase!

Later, the same Pancham steals Ash's hat and Clemont's glasses and runs away. Serena finds Pancham practicing near its cave, which is full of stolen items, and realizes it's using them as props because, like her, it loves to perform! When she tries to catch it, Team Rocket interrupts the battle. Annoyed, Pancham demonstrates its strength by battling the villains, and then joins Serena on her journey to become a Pokémon performer!

==Blurb==

Team Rocket stalks a Salamence and attaches a device that's supposed to make it sleep, but something goes wrong and the Salamence runs wild! Meanwhile, our heroes have stopped at a Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy is overwhelmed by the number of Pokémon arriving for treatment, injured by the very same Salamence. Even worse, her assistant Wigglytuff is new to the job and having some trouble.

Jessie and James, disguised as ambulance drivers, arrive on the scene to catch Pikachu and Wigglytuff. On their way out, they run straight into the Salamence! Nurse Joy steps in to protect her assistant, but Wigglytuff overcomes its fears and walks right up to Salamence, immune to the flurry of Dragon-type attacks. Wigglytuff uses a powerful Heal Pulse, which calms the raging Pokémon and saves the day!

Team Rocket's device is removed, and a grateful Salamence quickly sends the villains flying. Wigglytuff's future at the Pokémon Center looks bright, as our heroes say their goodbyes and continue their journey!

==Blurb==

En route to Coumarine City, our heroes meet a Trainer named Blake and his Meowstic, a male with a beautiful blue coat. Among the trees, Chespin spies a female Meowstic and runs off in pursuit, followed by Bonnie, who is upset at Clemont for insisting that she eat her vegetables.

When three Beedrill attack Bonnie and Chespin, Blake’s older brother Heath (the female Meowstic’s Trainer) rescues them, and everyone goes off to the brothers’ sprawling mansion to get some first aid for Bonnie. Then, Blake and Heath’s father challenges them to a treasure hunt to decide who will inherit the mansion!

Our heroes split up to help, but the treasure eludes everyone...until the brothers remember a tree with beautiful flowers that they discovered together when they were younger. Everyone runs to the spot, but they’re attacked by an Exploud! It turns out Exploud is their father’s Pokémon, and he sent it there to get the brothers to battle side by side, as they did when they were young.

Blake and Heath make amends, which inspires Clemont and Bonnie to do the same. After saying their goodbyes, our heroes are off once again to Coumarine City!

'''Bonnie''' (Japanese: '''ユリーカ''' ''Eureka'') is a {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}} who debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' along with her older brother, {{an|Clemont}}.

==History==
Bonnie was first seen with her brother Clemont in [[Lumiose City]]. Both were standing outside the Prism Tower when they watched Ash go inside to challenge the Lumiose Gym. When Ash was ejected out of the building, Clemont saved Ash with his Clemontic Gear while Bonnie saved [[Ash's Pikachu]] by catching him before he hit the ground. Thinking that he was cute, Bonnie hugged Pikachu, who shocked her in retaliation. Bonnie quickly apologized and explained that she is too young to have her own Pokémon and therefore always becomes excited when she meets one. Though she cannot own a Pokémon, she participates in other activities when she can. When Clemont and Ash had a battle against each other, she refereed the match for them. She later led them to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab when {{AP|Froakie}} was injured by {{TRT}}.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Bonnie met Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} and played with the professor's other Pokémon, before Team Rocket infiltrated the lab. Bonnie tagged along with Ash and Clemont to help free the enraged Garchomp from the machine controlling her, and Bonnie watched her brother use one of his inventions to break in to the Prism Tower.

In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Bonnie and Clemont officially decided to accompany Ash on his journey through [[Kalos]]. Later in the episode, the group encountered a wild {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Bonnie asked Clemont to allow her to keep Dedenne, and Ash agreed, Bonnie tried to offer a berry to Dedenne, but a wild {{p|Fletchling}} stole the berry, scaring off Dedenne in the process. She later watched with her brother as Ash caught the {{AP|Fletchling}}. After it was caught, Bonnie scolded Fletchling for stealing Dedenne's food but quickly forgave the Pokémon. Dedenne was later seen following Bonnie and the others.

Then, in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Bonnie met the Dedenne from the previous episode when it stole the food she was trying to feed to Pikachu and Fletchling. She begged Clemont to capture it for her, but Dedenne forced the group to chase it in several holes in the ground, which caused Dedenne and Pikachu to get lost together. Eventually, Pikachu and Dedenne returned, but a previous encounter with Team Rocket left Dedenne exhausted to the point of fainting, much to Bonnie's horror. After Dedenne was rejuvenated by one of Clemont's inventions, it bonded with Clemont and helped defeat Team Rocket. Afterward, Dedenne allowed Clemont to capture it so that Bonnie could keep it in her satchel.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Bonnie, Ash, and Clemont arrive at [[Santalune City]] and meet [[Viola]], whom they later find out that she is the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Santalune Gym]]. Upon seeing Viola's photos of Bug-type Pokémon, Bonnie becomes impressed and immediately asks Viola if she could marry Clemont, causing him to become embarrassed and drag her out of the Gym with his {{p|Aipom}} arm. Then, she, Clemont, and [[Alexa]] watch Ash's battle against Viola and also meet {{an|Serena}}, another Trainer. Later on, after Ash loses to Viola, she is properly introduced to Serena and then watches as Ash trains with Alexa for his upcoming rematch against Viola.

[[XY006|Later on]], Bonnie continued to show her support for Ash in his training even though she was falling asleep, and prompting Clemont to put her to bed. The next day, she, Clemont, Serena, and Alexa cheered for Ash during his rematch and subsequent victory against Viola.

==Character==
Bonnie is a young and cheerful girl who is always excited to meet new Pokémon. At times, she gets too invasive with Pokémon, similar to {{an|Iris}}, [[Burgundy]] and {{an|Bianca}}, causing them to attack her. She is very proud of her brother's accomplishments as an inventor, but sometimes criticizes him if his inventions do not work. For reasons currently unknown, she tries to find a wife for Clemont, first seen when she asks [[Viola]] and {{kal|Jessica}} if they could marry her brother. This causes him to get embarrassed and remove her with his Aipom arm.

Bonnie dislikes feeling left out. In [[XY052]], she naively asks Ash's [[evolution|newly evolved]] Frogadier to change back into Froakie so she could see his evolution, in which Clemont replied that her request was obviously impossible. Though she cannot own her own Pokémon, she participates in things that she can still do, such as refereeing unofficial matches. She also asks her brother permission to "keep" Pokémon that she one day wants to train, when she is old enough to be a Trainer. She enjoys taking care of her friend's Pokémon and particularly likes brushing their fur, similar to a {{pkmn|groomer}}. She always likes to be able to participate in the same activities the rest of the group are taking part in, and not being able to (such as in ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'' when she was denied entry to the indoor sky diving facility), or otherwise being unable to get her own way, causes her to pout. These accomplishments may seem small but they are a way for Bonnie to occupy herself and continuously learn more about being a Trainer.

All in all, Bonnie is still a child. In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', she became tired easily and had to be put to bed early. In ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]'', she began to cry after she lost track of Dedenne. Ash and Serena had to help calm her down and encouraged her not to give up. In ''[[XY045|Splitting Heirs!]]'', it was revealed that she dislikes carrots.

Although the children were initially against the idea of letting Lapras return to its natural habitat, they decided that if they really loved it, they would help in returning it.

Moments later, {{TRT}} appeared, wanting to steal Lapras. While {{Ash}}, Clemont, and {{an|Serena}} fought them, the children ensured Lapras was guided safely to the sea.

While the group were on their search for them, Bonnie and Pikachu decided to care for Pichu for the time being by giving it food and playing with it. Clemont then came with the idea to use one of his inventions to lure Dedenne to them. The invention eventually exploded, but the explosion was noticed by Lyn's older sister [[Lena]] who quickly rushed to the scene, as she in turn was looking for Lyn. Lena was happy to find Pichu with the group and joined them to find Lyn and Dedenne. The group eventually found them in a grape orchard, about to be attacked by wild {{p|Beedrill}}.

==Trivia==
* Bonnie is the youngest female protagonist.
* Bonnie serves as an antithesis to {{an|Brock}}'s {{cat|Anime running gags|running gag}} as she is the one who requests any older female character that the group encounters to marry Clemont and is subsequently removed by him instead of the other way around.
** One noticeable difference is that Bonnie does not ask any [[Nurse Joy|Nurse Joy]]s or [[Officer Jenny|Officer Jenny]]s to marry Clemont; these are the most common targets of Brock's affection.
* Much like {{an|Iris}} at the beginning of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Bonnie (along with Ash and Clemont) was shocked by Pikachu when first meeting Ash. This follows the running gag in the anime, which involves Pikachu accidentally frying all of Ash's female traveling companions' [[bicycle]]s, or, if they do not have one, shocking the girls themselves.

'''Serena''' (Japanese: '''セレナ''' ''Serena'') is a {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}} who debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. Her [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] was a {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} that she received from [[Professor Sycamore]].

==History==
[[File:Young Serena.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Serena]]

As a young child, Serena was sent to [[Kanto]], against her will, to attend a Pokémon Summer Camp, which was hosted by {{an|Professor Oak}}. One day, while at the camp, she got lost in a nearby forest and was startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, falling over and hurting her knee. Then, she met [[Ash Ketchum]], who was looking for the same Poliwag and spotted Serena. Noticing her knee injury, he pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped it around her wounded knee, saying that it is a good-luck charm and that the pain would go away. However, when Serena's knee continued to hurt, Ash told her "Don't give up till its over" and helped her up before escorting her out of the forest. Afterwards, she returned to [[Kalos]], bringing along the handkerchief and the memory of her meeting with Ash.

Serena made her first onscreen appearance in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where she was forcibly woken up by her {{kal|Grace|mother}}'s {{p|Fletchling}}. In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', she attempted to practice {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing after being encouraged by her mother, a famous Rhyhorn racer herself. However, Serena's attempts at controlling her mother's Rhyhorn ended with her being sent crashing into the ground.

Later that evening, Serena complained about her earlier practice leaving several scratches on her face. She sat down to watch a news report on an incident that was occurring in [[Lumiose City]]. On the screen, she saw Ash trying to calm down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at Prism Tower and recognized Ash as a boy she had known in her childhood. The next day, while feeding Rhyhorn, Serena thought aloud that something interesting was going to happen and that it involved Ash.

She began her Pokémon journey in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' when she set off to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in Lumiose City. Immediately upon arriving, Serena questioned the Professor about the boy on television and he confirmed that it was indeed Ash Ketchum. However, to Serena's disappointment, Ash had already left Lumiose City the previous day. Serena was then offered to choose her [[starter Pokémon]].

In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Serena chose {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, received a [[Pokédex]], and started her journey. Later that day, she continued to travel with Fennekin, but didn't want to camp out for the night after seeing some wild {{p|Venipede}}. She was attacked by a wild {{p|Vespiquen}} that she mistook for a person, only for Fennekin to scare Vespiquen away. Afterward, Serena met a [[Nurse Joy]], who told her where to find the nearest Pokémon Center.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', she finally reached [[Santalune City]] and found Ash during his gym battle with [[Viola]]. She introduced herself to him, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}, after returning his backpack when it was left behind at the Gym. At the end of the episode, she asks Ash if he remembers her, at which point the episode abruptly ends.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', she revealed that the two of them met at the Pokémon Summer Camp when they were younger. Although Ash remembered the camp, he didn't specifically remember meeting Serena, much to her disappointment. Serena quickly regained her composure and reminded him that he once told her to never give up. Hearing these words helped Ash continue his training in order to win the rematch against Viola. During the rematch, Ash was visibly becoming overwhelmed by Viola's battling strategy, but Serena yelled at him to never give up. The inspiration that he had once given Serena was now being given to him, and these words encouraged him to continue the battle. At the end of the episode, after winning the Bug Badge, Ash asked Serena what her plans for the future were.

Serena officially began traveling with Ash and his friends in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''. This was when Serena revealed why she began her journey in the first place. After seeing Ash on TV, she decided that she would begin a Pokémon journey in order to return the handkerchief he used to mend her knee injury. After she returned the handkerchief, Ash remembered their encounter and called her the "Girl With the Straw Hat."

Later on, Serena helped teach Ash how to ride and race on a Rhyhorn when he expressed an interest in Rhyhorn racing. While doing so, Serena's opinion on Rhyhorn and Rhyhorn riding quickly changed when the Rhyhorn were very friendly towards her. Later, while she was helping Ash learn to ride, she called out similar words Serena's mother had yelled to her during her Rhyhorn riding lessons at home. At that moment, Serena realized that she had misjudged the sport of Rhyhorn racing and that perhaps she did not hate it as much as she thought. Serena expressed in the same episode that she did not dislike Rhyhorn racing but that she wanted to find a goal that she likes even more.

The next day, Ash was captured by {{TRT}} and Serena had to help rescue him. This was when Serena had her first Pokémon battle, commanding Fennekin to use {{m|Ember}} on the criminals. At the end of the episode, she gave Ash a pouch of cookies, saying it was her way of thanking him for all he had done for her.

In ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', Serena learned from Clemont's father, [[Meyer]], that Clemont is the Lumiose City [[Gym Leader]]. Although initially angry with Clemont for keeping this secret from her along with Ash, she helped take back the [[Lumiose City Gym|Gym]] from the malfunctioning [[Clembot]]. She battled [[Clemont's Magneton]] with her Fennekin, but it managed to avoid Fennekin's attack, forcing {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Froakie}} to step in and defeat it. Later, she watched Clemont battle and defeat Clembot for the control of the Lumiose Gym.

In ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'', Serena decided to participate in PokéVision, which is similar to making [[Trainer PR Video|PR videos]]. Trainers promote themselves and demonstrate their bond they share with their Pokémon by dressing up and creating a short video. After watching some sample PokéVision videos in the Pokémon Center, Serena took to the idea of being able to make one of her own with her Fennekin. She rented a camera and began filming with Fennekin. The two of them dressed up in multiple outfits and the video featured them posing and baking together. However, during the filming of the video, Fennekin was captured by Team Rocket. Serena was able to rescue Fennekin, and in the process she remembered all that they had been through together. Her feelings of friendship were conveyed to her Pokémon, and Fennekin was able to learn {{m|Flamethrower}} in the battle against Team Rocket. After this event, Serena was able to finish her filming and was proud of her final product.

In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', Serena participated in a Poké Puff competition, but she did not emerge victorious. Before the event, she met another competitor named [[Miette]]. The two of them compared their [[Poké puff|Poké Puffs]] to see whose were superior, which led to a spark of rivalry between them. After comparing the two Poké Puffs, the group realized that Serena's Poké Puffs were more suited for human's tastes than Pokémon's. This was part of the reason that Serena was not able to win the Poké Puff competition.

Serena had her first official Pokémon battle in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' against [[Shauna]]. Shauna and her friends, [[Tierno]] and [[Trevor]], had seen the PokéVision video that Serena filmed in Lumiose City and recognized her from it. Serena accepted Shauna's challenge, and alongside Fennekin she faced off against Shauna and her {{p|Bulbasaur}}. Unfortunately, Serena was unable to win despite having a type advantage. Serena talked with Shauna throughout the episode, and learned that Shauna was aiming to be someone who could put on performances with Pokémon. Her conversations with Shauna were a catalyst in helping her realize that she was the only one of her friends that didn't have a set goal. At the end of the episode, Serena sat alone brushing Fennekin's tail and wondering what her dream was.

In ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]'', Serena and Shauna had a conversation. Shauna informed her about [[Pokémon Showcase]]s, festival-styled tournaments in which Trainers known as Pokémon Performers perform together with their Pokémon on stage. Shauna told Serena she was planning on becoming a top-class Pokémon Performer herself, and this inspired Serena to become one as well. In ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'', Serena witnessed her first official Pokémon Showcase. She saw a performance by top-class Pokémon Performer and Kalos Queen {{an|Aria}}, and witnessed a wild {{p|Pancham}} causing a ruckus on stage. Later, outside, the Pancham stole Ash and Clemont's belongings. Serena managed to track Pancham down and witnessed how it put on a performance with no one around. This made her realize Pancham loved performing and wanted to show this to everyone. With this in mind she announced to her friends she wanted to capture it. Battling with Fennekin, she managed to weaken and successfully capture it. After capture, Serena gave Pancham a pair of her favourite sunglasses.

In [[XY053]], she met up with her mother and told her of her intention to be a Pokémon Performer. Later in the episode, Serena and Grace held a {{p|Skiddo}} race, which Serena won.

==Character==
Serena has a love for fashion and [[clothing]]. An early example of this is in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', when she spent time carefully selecting an outfit, and was troubled over which of two hats looked best. Serena then asked her mother, who selected a beret. However, Serena promptly tossed the beret aside and picked up the other hat, saying that whatever her mother did not choose was certain to be the cuter one. Later, in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'', Serena expressed excitement about visiting the clothing boutiques in [[Lumiose City]]. In ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'', she was eager to dress up in many different outfits while making her PokéVision video.

Serena also seems to like baking and is quite skilled at it. An example of this was demonstrated in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'', when she stayed up late at night to bake cookies for Ash and the gang, which they seemed to enjoy. Also, in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', she had baked some macarons for the group, but they were stolen by a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}. In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', she also participated in a [[Pokémon-Amie#Poké Puffs|Poké Puff]] baking competition.

Since the start of the series, Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl. However, in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', she was openly rebellious towards her mother. She refused to wake up when her mother ordered her to, and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news. This tumultuous relationship was best demonstrated when Serena's mother made her practice {{p|Rhyhorn}} riding, which she had hated doing.

While she genuinely cares for her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, as well as the well-being of other Pokémon, Serena has expressed little ambition towards becoming a full time [[Pokémon Trainer]]. In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', however, she did attempt to capture a {{p|Corsola}}, which she thought was cute, but was unsuccessful due to Fennekin's type disadvantage and Fennekin's unwillingness to fight.

During her debut, Serena was uncertain what paths or career to pursue in life. Although she possessed a diverse and well-rounded skill set, she was undecided about what best suits her. Fortunately, her travels with Ash, Bonnie, and Clemont afforded her a chance to find herself and explore her options. In ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' Serena began to think that not having an established goal was a problem for her future as a Trainer. After losing her first official Pokémon battle at Summer Camp to [[Shauna]] and her {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and seeing how passionate the Trainers around her were, Serena began seriously considering what she wanted to do with herself and her Pokémon. In ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'', Serena decided that her goal was to be a top-class Pokémon performer.

==Trivia==

* It took Serena [[XY007|seven episodes]] to officially join Ash's group, the longest time out of all of Ash's traveling companions to join his group after being introduced.
* Serena is the first female traveling partner to not get herself or her bike shocked by Pikachu at the start of the series.
** {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} all had their bikes electrocuted, while {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Bonnie}} were directly shocked by Pikachu.
* Serena is the first character to have been invited into the group by Ash.
* Serena is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to have known him prior to the [[EP001|beginning of the series]].
* Serena is the first of Ash's companions who, as a new Trainer, did not set out to obtain her first Pokémon at the introduction of the series. It took until ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' before she set out to Professor Sycamore's lab.
* Out of all of Ash's traveling companions who can own Pokémon, Serena took the longest in obtaining her first Pokémon, only obtaining Fennekin after [[XY004|four episodes]] since her debut. She also holds the record for the most number of episodes to catch a Pokémon, taking [[XY047|43 episodes]] to catch her second Pokémon, surpassing {{an|Iris}}, who took [[BW024|24 episodes]] since her [[BW001|debut]].

==Blurb==

Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie meet Diantha, the Champion of the Kalos region! Professor Sycamore is on the scene as well, doing research on Diantha's Gardevoir and its Mega Evolution.

Ash challenges the Champion to a battle, and under unusual circumstances, she accepts. However, their battle is quickly interrupted by the Team Rocket trio, who grab Gardevoir in a cage of energy and fly away! Thanks to the strong bond between the two of them, Diantha knows exactly where Gardevoir is, and she leads our heroes there at once.

She challenges Team Rocket, calling on the power of her Key Stone—and inside the cage, Gardevoir Mega Evolves! Professor Sycamore is delighted to witness a Mega Evolution in person, and Mega Gardevoir makes short work of the villains. Diantha has to get back to a movie shoot, but she agrees to battle Ash again someday...just as soon as he beats the Kalos League!

==Plot==
This episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who have found a poster advertising a battle featuring the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Kalos]] region, [[Diantha]]. The friends tell Ash, who has never heard of Diantha before, that Diantha is not only the strongest Pokémon trainer in Kalos, but is also a famous actress. Ash decides to request a battle with Diantha, and the friends run off to meet her.

Behind the scenes at the stadium, Diantha's manager tells a large crowd that Diantha is not accepting meetings or interviews. Just as Ash and his friends are about to leave, [[Professor Sycamore]] appears and motions to them to follow him into a room. The professor has come to examine the [[Mega Evolution]] that Diantha's Gardevoir possesses. The friends are excited to also hear that Diantha is in the room next door. Ash head towards the door, wanting to request a battle immediately, but before he can open it Diantha emerges, much to the awe of {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}. Professor Sycamore asks Diantha if she has thought about his request to leave her [[Key Stone]] temporarily in his possession, to which she respectfully declines, saying that the Key Stone is the very bond between her and Gardevoir. Professor Sycamore persists, however, and Diantha begins to offer a compromise for the next time she visits [[Lumiose City]]. Diantha's manager [[Kathi Lee]], however, appears and abruptly tells Sycamore that Diantha's schedule is full. Diantha tells the group to feel free to watch the battle.

At the battlefield, the two opponents take to the field to a cheering crowd, Diantha and a previous year's champion from [[Brackish Town]], {{an|Magnus}}. In the stands, Ash asks Professor Sycamore about the Key Stone. Professor Sycamore tells him the Key Stone is the stone Trainers hold, and the [[Mega Stone]] is the stone that Pokémon hold, both crucial to Mega Evolution. Diantha releases Gardevoir,who wears a Mega Stone. Professor Sycamore tells the travelers that a close bond between the Trainer and Pokemon is also crucial to Mega Evolution. Above, {{TRT}} watches and decides to get Gardevoir for themselves, hoping to please {{an|Giovanni}}. On the field, Magnus releases {{p|Absol}}, and the battle begins. Magnus and Absol begin with {{m|Bite}}, but Gardevoir is too quick. Absol then uses {{m|Quick Attack}}, but again Gardevoir evades the attack, able to understand Diantha's commands merely through eye contact. Magnus's Absol uses {{m|Psycho Cut}}, but Gardevoir repels it with {{m|Shadow Ball}}, which rebounds to hit Absol. Absol uses {{m|Perish Song}}, but Gardevoir uses {{m|Moonblast}} to knock Absol out, winning the match.

Inside the stadium, a crowd again forms, hoping to see Diantha. An officer tells the crowd that Diantha has already left for a movie shooting. Serena suggests that the group go try Brackish Town's famous chocolate cake, Professor Sycamore opting to join them after he takes care of his data. However, when the travelers reach the restaurant, they are greeted by a long line. However, Bonnie and Serena are determined to get through the line, and manage to procure one slice. Faced with the predicament of sharing one slice with four people, Clemont pulls out a machine that can cut the piece into exactly equal pieces. Before he can cut into the dessert, the group notices a disappointed woman who was unable to procure a slice, and offer to share with her. The lady reveals she is indeed Diantha, and the group share the dessert, after which Bonnie asks for Diantha to marry her brother. Ash determinedly asks Diantha to have a battle with him, and after his persistence, she accepts. Professor Sycamore appears, wanting to also watch the battle.

In a field, Ash begins to battle Diantha's Gardevoir with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash begins with Pikachu's {{m|Iron Tail}}, followed up by Quick Attack, which Diantha's Gardevoir nimbly avoids. Ash next commands Pikachu to use {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which Gardevoir also dodges. Gardevoir uses Shadow Ball, which sends Pikachu flying and Ash running to catch him. Seeing Ash's devotion to his Pokémon, Diantha recognizes his passion. Just then, Team Rocket releases a net, which captures Gardevoir in a transparent box. Diantha orders Gardevoir to use Shadow Ball on the box, but to no avail. [[Jessie]] throws a smoke bomb and Team Rocket's balloon soars off. Diantha, who knows where Gardevoir has gone, leads the way.

Diantha recalls an experience in which she was lost in the fog while shooting in the [[Lapidarian Highlands]], and her Key Stone led her to Gardevoir. Ash says he think their hearts are calling out to each other. The group reaches Gardevoir, and Diantha tells the others to stay back while she confronts Team Rocket. Diantha mega-evolves Gardevoir into [[Mega Gardevoir]], and this time, the force of Mega Gardevoir's Shadow Ball blasts the box. Diantha tells Mega Gardevoir to use Moon Blast, which sends Team Rocket blasting off again.

The group congratulates Diantha as Mega Gardevoir returns back to normal. A helicopter with Kathi Lee arrives to pick up Diantha. Diantha thanks Ash and all the children, but has to go to her next shooting. Just before she leaves,Ash tells Diantha that he is challenging the [[Kalos League]], and asks her to battle him when the time comes. Diantha tells him she'll look forward to it, and the friends and Professor Sycamore wave as the helicopter rides off into the sunset, having all learned more about the secrets of Mega Evolution.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Spewpa}}
* This episode was originally scheduled to air on May 29, 2014 as part of a one-hour special alongside ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friend and Faux Alike!]]'', but it was pushed up one week after the postponement of ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'', and aired as a standalone.
** ''[[V (Volt)]]'' was supposed to be replaced by ''[[V (Volt)#Opening animation: Version 2 (XY029 - current)|Mega V]]'' as the Japanese opening in this episode, but due to the aftermentioned reasons, it debuted in the following episode instead.
* The [[XY029|next episode]] preview is narrated by [[James]], [[Jessie]], {{MTR}} and {{Ash}}.
** For the TV Tokyo airing, instead of the normal preview, a special preview of ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]'', ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]'' and ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'' was shown.
* This is the first time that a male {{p|Meowstic}} appears in the anime.
* Several running gags from the ''[[XY series]]'' are played differently for the first time in this episode.
** {{an|Clemont}} does not use his Aipom arm to grab Bonnie after she asks [[Diantha]] if she could marry him.
** Clemont's invention works correctly without exploding.
** Since [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] is absent in this episode, it does not appear in the motto sequence.
* The dub of this episode first aired in the [[Pokémon in the United Kingdom|UK]] on July 5, 2014 , 21 days before the [[Pokémon in the United States|United States]] airing.
* Team Rocket uses a variation of their motto.
* [[Professor Sycamore]] does not wear his lab coat at any point during this episode, a rarity for the series.

===Errors===
[[File:XY028 error.png|thumb|200px|Spewpa's back head, triangle and two dots errors]]
* When the exhibition match is about to begin, Diantha is on the left side of the screen instead of the right.
* In the [[Pokémon Quiz]] segment, Gardevoir's type is described as pure {{type|Psychic}}, but Gardevoir became {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}}-type in [[Generation VI]].
* When Clemont uses his invention to cut the cake into six pieces, the color of Diantha's shadowed skin is dark brown instead of dark beige.
* When Gardevoir is about to Mega Evolve, its legs are green instead of white.
* In the Pokémon Holo Caster segment, when {{an|Professor Oak}} is about to scare {{p|Spewpa}} in his {{p|Fletchinder}} costume, the beige and light gray parts of Spewpa's head are dark gray instead, and the two dots on its face are black instead of beige.

===Dub edits===
* For an unknown reason, the title card lacks the characters' shadows in the Polish dub.
* For an unknown reason the episode title is used again in [[XY034]] in the Russian dub.

==Blurb==

Following her grandfather's orders, Korrina has arrived on Pomace Mountain for some special training with Mabel, whose partner Mawile can Mega Evolve, and our heroes are along for the adventure. After a quick battle, Mabel suggests that everyone make flower arrangements with their Pokémon partners, much to their surprise.

This continues for several days, and while Bonnie and Dedenne are having a great time, Korrina and Lucario are getting impatient. But they soon learn that spending so much time together, exploring the beauty of the mountain and working together to make their beautiful arrangements, is exactly what they needed!

During a late-night heart-to-heart talk between Mabel and Korrina, the Team Rocket villains make their move, grabbing Pikachu and Mawile. But all that training pays off! Korrina's voice is finally able to reach Mega Lucario and calm its battle rage, and with the help of Mega Mawile, Team Rocket is sent blasting off again.

Now that Korrina can control Lucario's Mega Evolution, Ash decides he needs more training before challenging her at the Shalour Gym!

===Errors===
* When Mabel is talking in her house, everyone else is shown to be surprised. However, the animation for everyone in the room except Ash is reversed: they are shown bewildered and open-mouthed at first, and when they all gasp, they seem to compose themselves. This happens twice during the episode.
* When James throws his [[Poké Ball]] to send out Inkay, the engines on the sides of the Meowth Balloon disappear.

===Dub edits===
[[File:Title Card XY Ash.png|thumb|200px|The dub's title card]]
* The title card segment focuses on Ash in the dub instead of Korrina.
* For an unknown reason the title of the episode copies the title of [[XY028]] in the Russian dub.

'''Pokémon the Series: XY''' is the seventeenth [[season]] of the [[dub]]bed version of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It follows the conclusion of the third and final dubbed season of {{series|Best Wishes}}, and as such is the first dubbed season of the {{series|XY}}. The season follows {{Ash}} as he continues his journey, venturing in the [[Kalos]] region. It debuted with a special showing of its first two episodes on October 19, 2013, following [[Cartoon Network]]'s showing of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

It began on January 18, 2014 with the dub premiere ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', and concluded on December 20, 2014 with ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]''. It originally aired in the United States as part of the 2014 [[Cartoon Network]] Saturday morning line-up.

It is preceded by [[Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova]], the last season of the [[Best Wishes series]] dub, and will succeed with a 18th season.

'''James''' (Japanese: '''コジロウ''' ''Kojirō'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]], more specifically part of a [[Team Rocket trio|trio]] with [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}, that follows [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]].

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:James BW.png|left|thumb|120px|Art from episodes [[BW001]] - [[BW022]] in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
[[File:Younger James.png|thumb|250px|Younger James and Growlie]]
An only child of millionaires, James was forced to endure formal society while growing up. Often having to take part in numerous lessons and activities he had little to no interest in, he eventually began to grow weary of the rules and standards that appeared to be ever-present within the upper-class.

At a young age, he was engaged to a girl named [[Jessebelle]]. It was revealed in ''[[DP153|The Treasure Is All Mine!]]'' that he wanted to marry her at some point but he changed his mind after he saw how controlling and overbearing she was. Unable to stand her, he ran away, leaving his lavish lifestyle as well as beloved pet {{p|Growlithe}}, [[Growlie]], behind.
[[File:Trainer James.png|thumb|James as "Trainer James" when he was part of the bridge bike gang]]
He then enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' school, where he met [[Jessie]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, as revealed in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunnytown]], where James was known for using training wheels, acquiring the nicknames "Little Jim" and "Trainer James".

[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first appearance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between James and Jessie after the bike gang is unknown. What is known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends.

James made his series debut in the anime in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. Alongside Jessie and Meowth, they set their sights on the injured Pokémon in the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Pokémon Center]]. Sending out their {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]], they quickly overtook the Pokémon Center, which only had [[Nurse Joy|three]] [[Ash Ketchum|people]] [[Misty (anime)|inside]]. Before they could steal any of the Pokémon, however, {{AP|Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu}}, who teamed up with many other {{p|Pikachu}} in the Pokémon Center, used an electric attack, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode. It was here that Team Rocket decided to capture Pikachu, deeming him as an exceptionally powerful Pokémon, and made it their goal to capture him.

In the episode ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', James returned to his home as a result of a trap by [[James's parents|his parents]], who pretended to be dead in order to get him to come back to the estate, knowing he would return to pay his respects. He suspected that it was a trap, but he ended up being forced into participating by Jessie and Meowth, who wanted the fortune. After the deception was revealed, he was once again subjected to Jessebelle's torment until Growlie came to his rescue. After temporarily chasing Jessebelle away, James soon left his family's manor and as a result declined his inheritance. Growlie stayed behind upon James's request when he returned to Jessie and Meowth.

[[File:James BW anime.png|thumb|James in the {{series|Best Wishes}} from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''|220px]]
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from {{an|Giovanni}} after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. Now wearing black uniforms instead of their previous white ones, Jessie and James, along with Meowth, followed various missions given to them by Giovanni through other people. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow their other Pokémon to be sent to them, making them use only Pokémon native to Unova. Unknown to the trio, Giovanni was not certain they would be successful; however, he knew that their presence in the region would force [[Team Plasma]] to reveal themselves. In ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Jessie and James go back to their white uniforms. The trio seems to be more serious and are much less comedic than before, using thought-out methods of escape, such as jetpacks, and thus have not been sent blasting off in the ''Best Wishes'' series. They also appear much less often than in previous series.

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', he manages to capture Meloetta but was stalled by Cilan, allowing for Meloetta to get away. However, with Meloetta caught by Giovanni, James and Jessie go inside the submarine with Giovanni and Dr. Zager and take them to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] for the awakening of the Kami trio located there.

Along with [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}, James reappeared in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' where he returned to Unova for the first time since their "Operation Tempest" and temporary retreat back to Kanto. He went back to this old ways by catching Pikachu but with a new addition to his team, with James catching an {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} sometime before meeting up with Ash and company. In ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', he is forced to give away his Pokémon to Giovanni under the pretense that he captured them for him. He returned once again in the {{series|XY}}, following Ash into the [[Kalos]] region. There, James captures an {{TP|James|Inkay}} in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''.

===Character===
[[File:James disguised as Juan.png|200px|thumb|right|James disguised as [[Juan]]]]
James has shown to be relatively well versed in various activities, including Pokémon Haiku, [[Pokémon Orienteering]], and [[PokéRinger]], among other things. It is possible that he developed his skills during his temporary separation from Jessie, or even from the many lessons he was enrolled in as a child.

James also has a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|tendency to cross-dress]], but has not done it since ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]'', with the exception of the occasional impersonation of characters such as [[Nurse Joy]], [[Officer Jenny]], and Jessie. In fact, ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'' marks the first time he cross-dresses in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, though it was him disguised as [[Jessie|Jessalina]]. He also often dresses up like famous celebrities as well, such as {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Juan]], and [[Norman]], and impersonates other non-human objects, including Pokémon, animals, and even bushes and trees.

[[File:James Croagunk card.png|200px|thumb|right|One of James's Pokédex cards, detailing about [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]]]]
James loves rare bottle caps and has an impressive collection of them. This hobby started when he was a young child. In the episode ''[[EP184|All That Glitters!]]'' it is revealed that he has "drunk enough soda pop to float an aircraft carrier".

At times, instead of a [[Pokédex]], he uses a deck of cards to identify Pokémon, such as in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' when he first learns of Croagunk's Poison Jab with it, or in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'' when he uses it to look up Hippopotas (explaining why he knows the Pokémon to be named "Hippopotas" and not "Hippopontas" as Jessie calls it). They appear to have the same entry as an electronic Pokédex, including a few basic parameters like height and weight, though it is unknown how many Pokémon they include (however, he seems to have used them mostly for Sinnoh Pokémon thus far).

Perhaps due to his heavily enforced, sheltered upbringing, as well as the constant harassment that he had to endure from Jessebelle as a child, James has an odd, somewhat submissive personality. He will regularly comply to whatever ideas the other two come up with, and when he doesn't, usually ends up doing so anyway, like when he was forced to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} away. He also seems to be the most emotional amongst the Team Rocket trio, and if the three should ever happen to get separated, he'll seem very lost without his companions. James also appears to have the most conscience among the three, and is the least prone to backstabbing someone who is kind to him. He can actually be quite sinister when he wants to, however. Also, unlike Jessie, who is prone to anger, he would often get depressed when things don't go his way or if he fails at something. He is also occasionally shown to be a victim, usually along with Meowth, of Jessie's anger. However, James is sometimes shown to get angry himself, though not to the same extent as Jessie.

James has a tendency to be swindled by a [[Magikarp salesman]], who, despite James's increasing wariness and personal vendetta against the shady character, has on many occasions tricked him into buying a Magikarp or other useless Pokémon and items for large sums of money.
[[File:Team Rocket XY remote.png|200px|thumb|left|James's Pokédex remote device]]
Throughout most of the series, James and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always blundering their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. However, early in the {{series|Best Wishes}}, he, along with the rest of his team, has developed a more serious attitude in his work. This slowly reverted back to the previous, blundering attitude by the end of the ''Best Wishes'' series. In the {{series|XY}}, James's Pokémon flash cards returned in the form of a handheld computer that has a Pokédex function.

===Pokémon===
As the standards of the Team Rocket organization dictated, James was first shown with a Poison-type Pokémon. However, James seems to have a fondness for carnivorous (or at least dangerous) {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, owning {{p|Weepinbell}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Cacnea}}, {{p|Carnivine}} and {{p|Amoonguss}}. It was shown during a flashback in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' how James, as a boy, found {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the [[Great Marsh]]. It was trapped in the mud and James rescued it, the two forming a bond of friendship. The capture of a {{p|Cacnea}} early in Hoenn furthered his apparent preference for Grass types. Often, when going into battle, his Grass Pokémon will show great affection towards James, which usually results in pain for him since all of them either have sharp teeth or spines. It is also shown that James develops a strong bond with each of his Pokémon in general; James almost treats them as his own children, and they in turn are all greatly attached to him. This could stem from the childhood memories he occasionally brings up, where it is shown that while growing up James hadn't really had any friends other than his Pokémon. When it comes time to leave a Pokémon behind for one reason or another, James often has great difficulty in letting go of his beloved friends, as shown in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'' when he had to release his {{TP|James|Weezing}}, and in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', when he spend much of the episode depressed due to leaving his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} behind [[DP054|one episode prior]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
Both Jessie and James appear in {{game|Yellow}} as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[Fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard [[Giovanni]]'s room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]], attacking the main {{ga|Red|player}} on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching their Boss.

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}.

James appears in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] along with his teammates [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}.

His first appearance is in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. He, Jessie and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try to find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, he and Jessie attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, he uses a {{TP|James|Koffing}} in battle.

James's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. He and Jessie attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, James's {{p|Koffing}} has evolved into {{TP|James|Weezing}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

Following this, James and Jessie begin more regularly appearing in the manga, following Ash to the [[Pokémon League]] championship at [[Indigo Plateau]] and cheering him on at the [[Orange League]]. James, along with Jessie, seems to maintain a friendship or at least acquaintance with Ash, as he has the [[Team Rocket trio]] deliver a letter to his mother as they are passing [[Pallet Town]] in ''[[ET20|Epilogue: Wild Type]]''.

While in the anime, the nature of James's relationship with Jessie is not explicitly stated, in the epilogue of the manga, he is shown [[RocketShipping|confessing his love to Jessie]]. They are shown afterwards married with Jessie visibly pregnant.

==Trivia==
[[File:Jessie and James.png|thumb|251px|James and Jessie]]
* James at times uses the name Jameson.
* James hasn't evolved any of his Pokémon since ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]''.
* James is the only main character to have [[James's Victreebel|one Pokémon]] and release/give it away, then get [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Victreebel|another Pokémon of the same species]].
* James was the first main character to release [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Gyarados|a Pokémon]].
* A running gag in the anime prior to James's Amoonguss in the Best Wishes series involves James's {{type|Grass}} Pokémon hurting him in a show of affection.
** Victreebel would often try to swallow him when called from its [[Poké Ball]].
** Cacnea would hug him around the neck or waist, driving the spikes on its arms into James.
** Carnivine would nearly constantly get a death grip on James's head with its mouth.
* In the main series games, James and [[Jessie]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when Kanto is revisited, and (being exclusive to Pokémon Yellow) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a newswoman on Area 4 of [[Mt. Battle]] references James stating that she's looking for someone with the same Pokémon as she has. The Pokémon she uses are {{p|Cacnea}} and {{p|Chimecho}}.
* He shares both his Japanese and Brazilian voice actors with Ryusuke Yamino, from {{wp|The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok|Detective Loki}}.
* Excluding Victreebel, James has never battled any of his Pokémon before catching them.
* Including the {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Hoppip}} that James briefly owned, James has owned a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon from every generation except for [[Generation VI]].

===Name origin===
James's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. His Japanese name, Kojirō, is taken from 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', a prominent Japanese swordsman most famous for being killed by his rival, 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', the namesake of Jessie. Also, 二郎 ''Jirō'' is a name meaning "second son," while 三郎 ''Saburō'' means "third son." Kojirō takes advantage of ''Jirō'', while the Japanese name of [[Butch]], Kosaburō, takes advantage of ''Saburō''.

He is based on {{wp|GoShogun#Docooga Crime Syndicate|Leonardo Medici Bundle}} from the {{wp|GoShogun}} anime (originally written by [[Takeshi Shudō]]), and the young thief {{wp|Benten Kozō#Characters|Benten Kozō Kikunosuke}} from the "{{wp|Benten Kozō|Five Men of the White Waves}}" ''{{wp|kabuki}}''.

'''Clemont''' (Japanese: '''シトロン''' ''Citron'') is a {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}} who made his debut in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' along with his younger sister, {{an|Bonnie}}.

==History==
Clemont was said to be a genius when it came to {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. Prior to the {{series|XY}}, Clemont became the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Lumiose Gym]] in order to understand Electric-type Pokémon better. However, he found that being a Gym Leader ate into his spare time and gave him little time to spend with his beloved inventions, so he created [[Clembot]], a "Gym Leader robot", to stand in for him when he was busy. He programmed it to be tough on challengers and to reject challengers with less than four badges. This proved to be a mistake, as Clembot turned out to be violent and would shock Trainers whose challenge it rejected (or, as it later turned out, who lost to it) and eject them from the Gym. Clemont himself was deemed to be a rejected challenger as he had no badges. Clemont attempted to set Clembot to "Master Recognition mode" so he could reprogram it, but it hadn't registered the pass-code he expected it to, so he was ousted from the Gym and cut off from his Pokémon. He eventually gave up trying to reenter, as Clembot refused to allow him past the entrance.

In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Clemont was first seen some time after his ejection from the Gym with his sister {{an|Bonnie}} in [[Lumiose City]]. Both were standing outside the Prism Tower when they watched Ash go inside. After Clembot ejected Ash from the building for not having any Badges, Clemont saved Ash with his Clemontic Gear while Bonnie saved Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}. After introducing himself, Ash challenged Clemont to a battle, which he accepted. Clemont battled Ash and his Pikachu with his {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}. Despite admitting that he only just caught Bunnelby, Clemont proved to be an effective battler and managed to counter many of Ash's attacks.

The battle was interrupted by {{TRT}}, who were aiming at stealing Pikachu and Bunnelby. Together with Ash and a {{AP|Froakie}} that saved Pikachu from an attack, the trio were sent blasting off. However, Froakie had gotten injured in the battle and collapsed, so Clemont suggested they hurry to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab. Clemont lagged behind as he was forced to carry everyone's bags.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Clemont helped Ash stop a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} by using his Clemontic Gear's Aipom Arm to break into Prism Tower. He was unable to go any further when a part of the tower collapsed in front of him and Bonnie, but Ash managed to go on and save the day.

In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Clemont and Bonnie officially decided to accompany Ash on his journey through [[Kalos]]. Throughout the episode, Clemont expressed his admiration of Ash and respect for him as a Trainer. Later in the episode, Clemont demonstrated another one of his inventions, a phonograph that made a sound at high frequencies to attract bird Pokémon. Unfortunately, the machine only attracted {{p|Beedrill}} before completely exploding. Though it caused the group trouble, Ash said that the machine was an incredible invention which made Clemont delighted and proud.

In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', he and the others encountered the {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} they had met before. Clemont used Bunnelby to track Dedenne after it ran off so that he could keep it for Bonnie, but Dedenne had gotten lost with Pikachu. After Dedenne and Pikachu had escaped from [[Team Rocket]] and met up with the others, Dedenne fell over from exhaustion. Using one of his Clemontic Gears, Clemont recharged Dedenne despite the machine blowing up in everyone's faces immediately after. When Team Rocket attacked the group, Clemont used Dedenne to send them blasting off with Pikachu's assistance. He then caught Dedenne and gave it to Bonnie so that she could keep it in her satchel.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', the group arrived in [[Santalune City]], where they met the [[Santalune Gym]] leader, [[Viola]]. Clemont and Bonnie also met her sister, [[Alexa]], who Ash already knew well from his travels in the [[Decolore Islands]]. During their tour of the Gym, Bonnie asked Viola if she would marry Clemont, embarrassing him and leading him to drag her away with his Aipom Arm. He, Bonnie and Alexa watched the battle with Viola, cheering for Ash. Just after Ash sent Fletchling out, {{an|Serena}}, a girl who knew Ash from her childhood, entered the Gym and joined the audience. After Ash lost the Gym Battle, they were introduced to her properly. The three later watched Ash train with Alexa.

[[XY006|Later on]], Clemont helped Ash train with another Clemontic Gear, a cannon that fired artificial {{m|Sticky Web}}s, as Ash had lost the battle against Viola as a direct result of Fletchling getting stuck to a Sticky Web. Unfortunately, when he put it onto its maximum setting, it malfunctioned, got blocked by its own ammo and exploded, though this mishap did inspire Ash to use {{m|Electro Ball}} to prevent Pikachu from falling asleep from {{p|Vivillon}}'s {{m|Sleep Powder}}. After the training was finished, he realized that Bonnie was about to fall asleep and decided to put her to bed. The next day, he, Bonnie, Serena and Alexa cheered for Ash during his rematch and victory against Viola.

In ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', [[Meyer|Clemont's father]], not realizing that Clemont and Bonnie hadn't told them about their ejection from the Gym, revealed to Ash and Serena that Clemont was the Gym Leader of the Lumiose City Gym in Prism Tower. Seeing that there was no point in hiding it any longer, Clemont told Ash and Serena about how he was ousted from his position by Clembot. After seeing the damage the "strange robot" was causing to the Gym and how it was driving away potential challengers, Clemont decided to challenge the robot to a battle for ownership of the gym, although he had no idea what the pass-code was. He was forced to contend with his Magnemite and Magneton, which had been ordered to patrol the Gym by Clembot, but he eventually got to the battlefield, confronted Clembot, and started its Master Recognition mode. Although Clemont finally realized what the pass-code was, he was forced to battle Heliolisk, his own Pokémon that was under Clembot's control. Clemont battled with Bunnelby and was ultimately successful in defeating Clembot, thus gaining back the title of Gym Leader. Clemont then decided to completely reprogram Clembot and left ownership of the gym to it so he could continue traveling with Ash. That night, Ash and Clemont agreed to have a Gym Battle after the former got four badges.

In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', Clemont befriended a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} from [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, later rescuing it during an attack by Team Rocket in their newest mecha. Together, they deduced a way to deactivate the mecha, but when that proved unsuccessful, Clemont commanded Chespin in battle against the mecha alongside Pikachu, but their efforts were met in vain. The mecha was then defeated by a {{p|Blaziken}} belonging to [[Blaziken Mask]]. The following evening, Clemont decided to capture Chespin when it expressed a desire to travel along with him and the rest of the group.

In ''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]'', the group travelled to [[Parfum Palace]] to retrieve a [[Poké Flute]] that [[Princess Allie]] had stolen from [[Lord Shabboneau]]. Clemont refereed a battle between Ash and Princess Allie for ownership of the flute, but when Allie refused to hand it over after she forfeited, he confronted the princess directly, scolding her behavior which he considered "unscientifically selfish". Unfortunately for him, Allie was touched by his scolding, and eventually agreed to hand over the Poké Flute in exchange for Clemont himself: Clemont's horror only intensifying when Bonnie (on Serena's suggestion) agreed to it. Although the rest of the group promised they would return for him, Clemont eventually made his own escape by planting a robot decoy, and eventually reunited with his friends and sister.

In ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]'', Team Rocket, after separating Clemont from the rest of the group, disguised themselves as scientists and requested his help with a machine they were having trouble with. Not realizing who the scientists actually were, Clemont built for them a {{p|Heliolisk}}-shaped machine that repelled {{t|Electric}} attacks as well as a device that transported capsules containing Pokémon. The next day, when Team Rocket lured the group into their trap, they used the Electric-type resistant machine to steal Pikachu and then the Pokémon transporter sent it away. Clemont, furious at Team Rocket for tricking him, used Serena's guidebook and {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}'s {{m|Dig}} to locate Team Rocket and Pikachu, whereupon he used a new and improved version of an earlier machine to repel {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s and {{TP|James|Inkay}}'s attacks. With Bunnelby's help, he easily defeated the trio and Pikachu sent them blasting off.

==Character==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Lacks information about his relationship with Serena, and a little more about his friends helping him with his confidence issues}}
Clemont is an intelligent inventor who takes pride in his gadgets and science in general, although his devices often fail to work properly before exploding. Whenever he introduces one of his inventions, his glasses shine and he usually says, "''The future is now thanks to science!''", demonstrating his anticipation to situations that require the help of his machines.

Even if he takes pride in his accomplishments, he appears to be somewhat meek and modest, especially around people outside of his circle of friends. This can be evidenced in his behavior when he receives a compliment, such as in ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]''. This wish for him to not draw much attention to himself can also be reflected in his camera shyness, as seen in ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'' when {{an|Bonnie}} was filming him for a Pokévision video and he was visibly shaking and stuttering, and [[XY039|later]] felt embarrassed to know that said video was being watched online. He also seemed very nervous when having a group picture taken in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''.

Clemont has some confidence and self-esteem issues, and a tendency to jump into negative conclusions related to him. An example of this can be seen in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', when, after losing practice battles against {{AP|Froakie}} and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} due to its overweight state, [[Clemont's Chespin|his Chespin]] ran away from the group and stayed with [[Carrie (Kalos)|a lady]] who baked macarons for it. Clemont saw his Pokémon being happy there, but instead of noticing it was because of its love for food, he immediately thought Chespin hated him because of their loss and decided to leave it with the woman, without even showing up to interrupt them.

Clemont is nonathletic, as he easily gets tired while running, or fails to do tasks that require physical activity like [[XY036|gliding with a wingsuit]]. Despite this, if the situation calls for it, he can have a reckless side, as shown in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'' when he grabbed a rock, jumped in the air, and aggressively smashed the remote that {{TRT}} were using to trap all the {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} in a cage.

Since he holds a position of [[Gym Leader]], he has vast knowledge about [[Pokémon battle]]s and strategies, providing his friends with explanations about them when needed. Clemont is also shown to be a good cook, and he is in charge of preparing food for the group, possibly using his inventions. {{an|Serena}} usually helps him in this task, providing dessert for his meals.

Clemont loves his younger sister Bonnie, taking good care of her, putting her in bed when she gets tired, and being willing to catch a Pokémon for her to keep. He also tries to protect her from danger to such an extent that he does not consider risks such as his own lack of physical fitness at first, as seen in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, Clemont also easily gets embarrassed by her antics of trying to get a wife for him, causing him to become upset and drag her away with his Aipom arm when she proposes him to women. He is also quick to scold her if she does something she shouldn't.

He is impressed with Ash's bravery and compassion towards Pokémon, which is what motivates him to travel with Ash, so he could become stronger himself. Due to this, Clemont usually sees Ash as a role model and a person he can count on. On the other hand, Ash is always willing to encourage Clemont, specially when he is lacking confidence in himself. Ash also admires his intelligence and abilities as an inventor, more so than his other friends, who do not react as kindly when his gadgets fail.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

When our heroes arrive in Lumiose City, Ash and Serena look around in awe, while Clemont and Bonnie seem a little nervous. The impressive Prism Tower catches Serena’s eye, and Ash tells her about his attempt to challenge the Lumiose Gym inside it—an attempt that was quickly shut down by a robot who threw him out upon learning he didn’t have four Kalos Gym badges yet. Clemont waves this off and Bonnie tries to get them moving when someone pulls up beside them—it’s Meyer, Clemont and Bonnie’s father!

Meyer soon reveals that Clemont himself is the Lumiose City Gym Leader, much to Ash’s and Serena’s surprise! Clemont explains that the Gym was taking up too much of his time (time he’d rather spend working on his inventions), so he built a robot named Clembot to take over some of his duties. But a glitch in the programming left Clembot with a stubborn personality that sticks to the “rules” no matter what—and since Clemont doesn’t have four Gym badges either, Clembot won’t even let him inside his own Gym!

After a pep talk from Ash, Clemont is willing to try sneaking into the Gym so he can repair the malfunctioning robot. Inside, they find Clembot on the battlefield, where it finally accepts Clemont’s override code—and his battle challenge! Clemont sends out Bunnelby against his own Heliolisk, one of the Pokémon he left at the Gym to fight at Clembot’s side. The battle seems very one-sided at first, but Bunnelby proves it has a tough streak, and with some unexpected strategy, Clemont manages to defeat his own creation!

The robot finally recognizes its inventor, and Clemont starts a full reprogramming. This time, he remembers to install a few important qualities he left out in the original programming: compassion, kindness, and flexibility. Then, along with Ash and Serena, Clemont and Bonnie visit their dad to explain the whole situation at the Gym—and to tell him they want to leave the new and improved Clembot in charge so they can keep traveling with their new friends! Meyer happily declares his support for their journey, but makes Ash and Serena promise to keep his kids out of trouble.

That night, Clemont asks Ash if he’s sorry he couldn’t have a Lumiose Gym battle. Ash says he plans to honor the original four-badge requirement and return when he’s a bit further along in his Kalos journey...on one condition. When he does come back to challenge the Lumiose Gym, he wants to battle Clemont, not Clembot!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and his friends arrive in Lumiose City, as {{an|Serena}} becomes excited about exploring, praising the fashion and Prism Tower. Ash explains that the [[Lumiose Gym]] is in the tower. Serena assumes Ash had already challenged the gym, but Ash explains that since he didn't have four gym badges, he was kicked out of the gym. {{an|Clemont}} suggests that they get out of Lumiose City immediately, much to Serena's dismay. Clemont and {{an|Bonnie}} push Ash and Serena into moving out, but before they can do so, a voice calls out Clemont and Bonnie, surprising both.

The voice is revealed to be Clemont and Bonnie's father, who identifies himself as [[Meyer]], who is with his {{p|Ampharos}}. Bonnie introduces Ash and Serena as their new friends, and Meyer is overcome with joy. As the two introduce themselves to Meyer, he takes a liking to Pikachu's electric cheeks. He also teases Clemont for finding "a beautiful girlfriend", to which Clemont explains that it isn't like that. Meyer soon tells Clemont to come home more often, but Clemont becomes reluctant to explain why he can't. Bonnie moves Clemont away, but Meyer soon tells him that being tough alone will not help challengers become better trainers, and that he should be a Gym Leader that the Lumiose Gym can be proud of. This surprises Ash and Serena, as Meyer drives away with Ampharos, telling the two to take care of his children and to stop by at his shop.

As Clemont and Bonnie frightfully turn around, Ash and Serena angrily glare at Clemont, the former demanding an explanation. Clemont tries to hide his secret, but Bonnie says that they might as well tell the truth.

At a fountain, Clemont reveals that he really is the Lumiose Gym Leader, and says that it's a long story. He tells them that his Gym Leader duties kept him so busy that he had no time to invent things like he wanted to, so he decided to build a robot that could fulfill his duties when needed. In a flashback, Clemont is implementing his ideals into the robot; he wanted challengers to have around four gym badges, and to be kind to challengers but also be tough when necessary. He also implements a voice code, of which he decides to use "sandwich" as the code. Clemont soon tests his robot, of which is named [[Clembot]], but it rejects him since he has no gym badges. He tries to use the voice code to activate "Master Recognition Battle Mode", but the robot did not register the desired voice code, as it expected "You will begin today", and proceeds to electrocute Clemont and Bonnie. The two narrowly escape, but the entrance door shuts on them.

Clemont reveals that he has tried to reenter the gym several times, but to no avail. Ash and Serena suggest that they visit the gym to see how it's doing. At the gym, there is a group of people angered by the Clembot's violent ejection policy. One of them reveals that he challenged the gym, and fell for the robot's ejection policy after he lost. The group of challengers leave the area in anger. The group ponders on what to do, while Ash suggests that they stop the Clembot. Clemont expresses doubt that his lone {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} can beat his own Pokemon in the gym, but Ash exclaims that he won't know unless he tries. Serena asks why he became a Gym Leader, and Bonnie reveals that Clemont is described as a genius when it comes to Electric-types. Clemont reveals that he wanted to become an Electric-type expert, which is why he became Gym Leader. Serena and Ash stand by his side and they all decide to go and stop the Clembot. Bonnie whispers that it's great that Ash and Serena are there for them.

The group enter into Prism Tower through the hole caused by {{p|Garchomp}}'s [[XY002|rampage from some time ago]], and then get into the gym via the ventilation system. However, a {{p|Magnemite}} and a {{p|Magneton}}, both belonging to Clemont, come in and attack the group. Ash stops the two Pokemon with Froakie's Frubbles, and the group reaches the battlefield. Clemont activates the Clembot's "Master Recognition Mode" after realizing what the voice code was. Clemont battles with Bunnelby, while the Clembot sends out {{p|Heliolisk}}, which Ash scans with his Pokedex. Knowing his reputation as a gym leader is on the line, Clemont tells Heliolisk to give it its all.

The Clembot tells Heliolisk to start out with [[Thunderbolt]]. Knowing he had programmed it to do that, Clemont tells Bunnelby to defend with its ears by using them to kick up dust. Ash recognizes this tactic from when he had battled Clemont before. Bunnelby then uses [[Double Slap]], while Heliolisk counters with [[Dragon Tail]]. They appear to be evenly matched, but Bunnelby spins and hits Heliolisk with its other ear. Bunnelby then uses [[Dig]], but is unearthed when Heliolisk uses [[Bulldoze]]. This catches Clemont off-guard, as he never recalled teaching it to Heliolisk. Heliolisk then uses Dragon Tail to knock Bunnelby back down to the ground. Bunnelby quickly recovers, and uses [[Double Team]] to surround Heliolisk with clones of itself. Clemont then orders a [[Mud Shot]], but before Bunnelby can launch it, Heliolisk uses [[Parabolic Charge]] to eliminate the fakes and damage the real Bunnelby, while simultaneously restoring its own health. Heliolisk then uses Thunderbolt, and Bunnelby uses Dig to escape. The Clembot then orders Bulldoze, worrying Bonnie and Serena as they think it'll have the same result as before. Ash, however, downplays this concern by warning him to not give up till its over (repeating the exact phrase he had told Serena back in their childhood). Clemont acknowledges this, and knowing that Ash had taught him to think outside the box, tells Bunnelby to use Double Team underground. Heliolisk then uses Bulldoze, this time unearthing numerous clones of Bunnelby. Clemont then orders Dig, and Heliolisk uses Parabolic Charge to eliminate all visible clones of Bunnelby until none are left. However, the real Bunnelby is still underground, and it comes up underneath Heliolisk and hits it, subsequently causing the Clembot to crash. Bunnelby then uses Mud Shot, knocking out Heliolisk and giving Clemont the win.

The Clembot finally recognizes Clemont, accepting him as its master and allows itself to be reprogrammed. Clemont reprograms the robot and removes its violent ejection policy and the badge restriction. The Clembot becomes friendly towards the group, and Clemont's Pokemon are also happy.

Back at Meyer's shop, he is dismayed that a robot had taken over Clemont's gym. Clemont explains that everything is alright now. Meyer assumes that he would come home more often from now on, but then Clemont reluctantly explains that he is on a journey with his friends, and that they have had great experiences together. Meyer has a moment of speechlessness, and he becomes extremely happy, saying that friends are the most important thing in the world. Everyone is pleased, and Meyer soon declares that his children are on a journey.

At night, everyone goes to bed. Ash tells Clemont that after he wins four gym badges, he will challenge the Lumiose Gym, and that his opponent will be him, and not the Clembot. Clemont agrees to the challenge, and tells him he will give Ash a gym battle he will never forget. As the episode ends, the Blaziken Mask and his Blaziken fly off into the night.

* The [[XY010|next episode]] preview is narrated by {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{p|Chespin}}.
* The title card for this episode focuses on Clemont.
* Although it has often been seen doing so in the spin-off games, this episode marks the first time in the anime that {{p|Magneton}} is seen splitting into three separate {{p|Magnemite}} units.
* Due to {{MTR}}'s brief appearance in a flashback, this episode marks the first time that one member of the [[Team Rocket trio]] appears without the others in the main anime.
* Music from ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' and ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'' is used in this episode.
* This episode features the following flashbacks of Clemont and Bonnie's adventures:

** Meowth being hit by Mud Shot from Clemont's Bunnelby, as Clemont shows up to rescue Ash and the Rhyhorn from ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''.

===Errors===
* While Ash's Pokédex is describing Heliolisk, the black tip of Clemont's Heliolisk's tail is colored yellow instead.
* When {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} blocked Heliolisk's attack, the black and orange colors of Clemont's Heliolisk's tail are swapped for a few frames.
* When {{an|Clemont}} goes to {{p|Heliolisk}} before he asked it if it's okay, the lower jaw of the Generator Pokémon is incorrectly colored with the same brown as its neck for a few frames.

==Blurb==

Continuing their Kalos region journey, our heroes spot a beautifully styled Furfrou. Ash isn't sure why it doesn't look like the shaggy one in his Pokédex, and Serena tells him about Pokémon groomers. There's a famous one named Sherman right in town, and Serena and Bonnie would love to meet him!

Just then, an ungroomed Furfrou jumps out of the bushes, knocking Bonnie down! Its Trainer, Jessica, offers to give our heroes a tour of the grooming salon where she works by way of apology. It turns out that even though she's the assistant to the famous Sherman, her Furfrou won't let her style its fur, apparently because the two of them haven't formed a strong bond.

In town, Ash and the others meet Jessally, who claims to be another famous Pokémon groomer, and her assistants. The three of them show off several examples of spectacular Pokémon grooming and offer to groom Pikachu. Ash isn't interested, but Bonnie thinks Serena should get Fennekin groomed. Jessally insists that they come back in about an hour to give her time to work.

Soon after leaving Fennekin with Jessally, our heroes run into Officer Jenny, who shows them a wanted poster of Jessally and her assistants—who are really Team Rocket in disguise! Thanks to Jessica's Furfrou and its amazing nose, Ash and friends track the villains down and send them blasting off again.

Battling together has brought Jessica and Furfrou closer, and when they get back to the salon, she finally gets the chance to trim its fur into a beautiful style, showing off everything she's learned under Sherman! She promises to style Serena's Fennekin someday when she's a famous groomer, and our heroes resume their journey to Lumiose City!

==Plot==
The episode begins with a woman beneath a tree, attempting to brush a {{p|Furfrou}}. However, as she attempts to do so, the Furfrou runs off, and the woman tells the Pokémon to wait up. Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and his friends have arrived in [[Lumiose City]], and {{an|Bonnie}} is enjoying the fountain. {{an|Clemont}} tells Bonnie to come, and that she'll get lost, but Bonnie says that she's fine, and continues running in excitement. Ash sees a Pokémon he has never seen before, which the Pokédex identifies as Furfrou. Ash remarks on how the Furfrou looks different from the image in the Pokedex, and {{an|Serena}} says that the Furfrou must have visited the groomer. She then raves about groomers, and points out a particularly famous groomer, wishing to meet him. Bonnie also expresses a desire to see him. All of a sudden, the Furfrou from earlier jumps out and makes Bonnie trip.

The woman from before comes and notices Bonnie's injuries, and apologizes. Clemont puts bandages on Bonnie's scraped knees, and Bonnie says that everything is alright. She introduces herself as [[Jessica]], while the gang introduce themselves. Bonnie then attempts to propose a marriage between Jessica and Clemont, much to the latter's embarrassment. As they walk along, Jessica talks about her Furfrou, and how intelligent and sensitive the species are. When Bonnie asks if Furfrou does not approve of Jessica as its Trainer, Clemont demands Bonnie to give Jessica an apology. Jessica says that it's alright, and after both Serena and Bonnie express desire to see Furfrou groomed, Jessica decides to bring the gang to the grooming salon where she works.

As they arrive at the grooming salon, they realize this was the exact place seen in Serena's guidebook. They enter, and see the man that was also seen in the guidebook, much to Serena's awe. The groomer, whose name is [[Sherman]], comes out and asks Jessica if she has finished giving Furfrou a walk. Jessica introduces him to Ash and his friends, while Serena deems it an honor to meet him and calls him a superstar, although Sherman considered that an exaggeration. Meanwhile, Serena notices all of the scissors Sherman possesses, and Jessica allows them to exhibit the work of groomers.

In the grooming room, Jessica elaborates on how they groom Furfrou, and also talks about how they use berries depending on the Pokemon's appetite. As she talks about it, Ash mysteriously begins to feel like his head is going to explode. Sherman then shows the group three more Furfrou with different trim styles, and Serena is fascinated by their style. Sherman asks the group if this is their first time in town, and asks Jessica to show them around town while she is still on her lunch break.

While they are walking around town, Team Rocket, in the disguise of groomers, attracts the attention of the group after making note of Pikachu. Ash shows no interest in grooming, but Bonnie suggests that Serena leave her Fennekin to be groomed, and Serena gives Fennekin to them to be groomed, unbeknownst to her that the groomers are actually Team Rocket in disguise. While the group continues walking along, Serena wishes she could exhibit her Fennekin being groomed, which Jessica understands. Meanwhile, the group runs into Officer Jenny. Serena thanks her for her help back at the Rhyhorn race track, which Officer Jenny then reveals that that is her cousin, and that there are multiple Officer Jennies in Kalos. Serena comments on how there are a lot of them, and Ash says that he knew it all along. Officer Jenny then asks them if they have run into a group of con artists who disguise themselves as famous groomers, and run off with any Pokemon given to them. She reveals their faces on the poster board, and describes them. Just then, Ash and Serena realize that those were the groomers that they ran into on the walk around town.

The group, along with Officer Jenny, run off to where Team Rocket was. The place, when they arrive, however, is empty. Officer Jenny asks if this was the location they were in, which the group confirms. Just then, Furfrou begins sniffing the floor, and runs off. It makes its way to Team Rocket, who has taken Fennekin hostage in a bag full of Poke Balls. The group then confronts Team Rocket, and Ash battles them with Pikachu. As they battle, however, Inkay manages to blind Pikachu with its ink. Clemont decides to step in, but Ash is confident that Pikachu can still go on. Ash gives Pikachu commands, and Pikachu manages to dodge attacks and battle effectively despite being unable to see. The rest of the group is amazed at the strong bond between Ash and Pikachu, and just then Jessica realizes how she can get Furfrou to trust her. Meanwhile, however, Jessica traps Furfrou in an electrified cage, which Jessica tries to break. She soon grabs a stick and breaks the device that enabled the cage to work. Furfrou then finishes off Team Rocket with Charge Beam, and Serena receives her Fennekin back. Officer Jenny then grabs the bag of Poke Balls, and prepares to return the Poke Balls to their owners. Furfrou now allows Jessica to groom it.

Back at the grooming salon, Jessica now proceeds to trim Furfrou, with Sherman and the group watching. As she finishes, the group admires the newly groomed Furfrou. As the day closes, the group parts with Jessica and Sherman, and Serena asks Jessica to groom her Fennekin one day when she becomes a Star Groomer, which Jessica says she will. As the group is moving along, Serena comments on how it must be great to have one thing to love to do. Ash then asks what she way saying, but Serena just denies that she said anything, while the two excitedly dash to Lumiose City, while Clemont becomes scared about it as the episode ends.

==Blurb==

Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie convince Serena to join them on their travels! She returns a handkerchief Ash lent her long ago at Pokémon Summer Camp, and he finally remembers her as the girl in the straw hat. He used his handkerchief to wrap up her knee after she hurt it in a fall at camp, and she’s kept it ever since!
They’re still reminiscing when they’re interrupted by a rumbling roar, and then see several Rhyhorn, with riders on their backs, pounding toward them! Apparently the track they’re walking along is really a Rhyhorn racecourse—and the race is in full swing! Officer Jenny takes them into Odyssey Village and shows them where the racing Rhyhorn live. She says that tomorrow, the race will be open to first-timers, and Ash is excited to enter!

He quickly realizes he doesn’t know the first thing about Rhyhorn racing—he even has trouble getting up onto Rhyhorn’s back. But Serena’s mom used to be a Rhyhorn racer, so Serena is pretty good at this stuff, and she shows him the ropes. She even shares her mom’s advice, “Be one with Rhyhorn,” which seems to help Ash get the hang of things!

The next day, it’s time for the race! Of course, the Team Rocket trio have been lurking about as usual, and they interrupt the race in an attempt to catch the racing Rhyhorn—and Pikachu, too! Ash and the other racers are tied up and unable to help, but Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie are soon on the scene! Clemont and Bonnie free the captured Rhyhorn while Serena and Fennekin hold Team Rocket at bay, and then the Rhyhorn close in to send the villains blasting off again.
Before leaving the village, Serena calls her mom to introduce her new friends and share her travel plans! Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena excitedly make preparations to head out for Cyllage City. But first, Serena has a gift for Ash! She baked some cookies to recognize his hard work, and to thank him for helping her all those years ago. There are enough cookies for everyone, so they won’t be traveling on an empty stomach as the journey continues!

==Plot==

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} are departing [[Santalune City]] when he asks {{an|Serena}} where she is headed to next. She begins to ponder, before Ash asks if she wants to join them on their journey. She eventually agrees, and points out that in order to reach [[Cyllage City]], the site of the next gym, they must first travel through [[Lumiose City]].

While in the woods, Ash considers challenging the [[Lumiose Gym]] again, but {{an|Clemont}} advises him that he had just started his journey in [[Kalos]], and that he should catch a Pokémon first. While Ash begins searching, Clemont asks Serena why she decided to go on a journey; she then shows Ash a handkerchief that he gave her at [[Professor Oak]]'s Summer Camp.

At the camp, Serena gets lost in a forest, and fell after being startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, injuring her knee in the process. Scared, she admits that she didn't want to attend the camp, calls for her [[Grace (Kalos)|mother]]. Soon, the bush shakes again, as Ash spots her. Noticing Serena's injury, Ash pulls out the handkerchief, wrapping it around her knee. Calling it a good-luck charm, he states it will make the pain go away, though her knee continues to hurt. Ash tells Serena to not "give up until it's over," and helps her up, leading her out of the forest.

Giving the handkerchief back to Ash, he finally recognizes her, and asks her if the handkerchief was the reason for following him. Serena stated she wanted to see Ash again, but he had failed to recognize her beforehand. Eventually, the ground began trembling, as a group of {{p|Rhyhorn}} racers speed down the forest path. [[Officer Jenny]] appears, informing the group that they are on a Rhyhorn racing track. At the track's starting line, Ash is introduced to Rhyhorn racing, as Serena tells him that the track is basic, compared to others, prompting Ash to praise her for her knowledge. The gang parts ways with Officer Jenny at a Rhyhorn stable, and as Ash attempts to sneak onto a nearby Rhyhorn, Serena warns him against doing so, as his attempt would startle it and cause it to run; instead, he should approach it carefully. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches the group, and plot to steal the Rhyhorn due to their power, along with {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Later, Serena and Ash change into Rhyhorn racing outfits, and Serena tells him the method to climbing onto Rhyhorn. However, Ash repeatedly falls off, and asks Serena to show him how to do so. Impressed, he then asks her how to make it run, causing Rhyhorn to knock her off. Surrounded by Rhyhorn, they begin licking her (and eventually {{an|Bonnie}}), as Serena begins to realize that Rhyhorn are actually friendly. Ash later begins riding, and asks Serena about his progress, in which she replies with similar words that her mother had told her. As a result, Serena realizes she had misjudged Rhyhorn racing.

At night, while everyone is sleeping, Serena is baking cookies, while her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} watches. She tells it to keep the cookies a secret, and hopes they taste good.

The next day, the race is set to begin, but as the {{WP|Racing flags#Green flag|green flag}} waved to start the race, Ash and Rhyhorn have a rough start, but manage to catch up to the other racers. In the woods, [[James's Inkay]] squirts ink on the cameras broadcasting the race, prompting Serena, Clemont, Bonnie and Fennekin to investigate. Meanwhile, Ash wonders what happened to the other Rhyhorn, but is then snared by a net, as Pikachu and Rhyhorn get caught in a cage. Team Rocket then appears, as it is revealed that the other Rhyhorn racers are tied up, as their Rhyhorn are also locked in cages, which connect into a train. {{MTR}} then drives the train away, but is hit by {{m|Mud Shot}} from [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], as Clemont shows up. Serena, Bonnie and Fennekin also appear, and Fennekin asks Serena to battle Team Rocket, to which she agrees. She orders it to use {{m|Ember}}, and the fire causes James to drop the controller that manages the train. Clemont grabs a rock and dives at the controller, destroying it and freeing Pikachu and the Rhyhorn. Surrounded, Team Rocket is charged by the Rhyhorn, and is sent blasting off, as Jenny arrives.

Ash, Clemont and Bonnie introduce themselves to Serena's mother, as Ash tells her about Serena teaching him to ride a Rhyhorn, much to Serena's dismay. Frantically, Serena tells her mother that she will be traveling with Ash and the gang, which her mother calls a wonderful experience for her. Later, Serena gives Ash a pouch, containing the cookies that she made earlier, which she says is a thank-you gift for what happened when they were younger. However, Ash continues eating, as Clemont and Bonnie scold him for eating too fast and eventually choking, but Serena also gives them pouches as well.

She returns a handkerchief Ash lent her long ago at Pokémon Summer Camp, and he finally remembers her as the girl in the straw hat. He used his handkerchief to wrap up her knee after she hurt it in a fall at camp, and she’s kept it ever since!
They’re still reminiscing when they’re interrupted by a rumbling roar, and then see several Rhyhorn, with riders on their backs, pounding toward them! Apparently the track they’re walking along is really a Rhyhorn racecourse—and the race is in full swing! Officer Jenny takes them into Odyssey Village and shows them where the racing Rhyhorn live. She says that tomorrow, the race will be open to first-timers, and Ash is excited to enter!

He quickly realizes he doesn’t know the first thing about Rhyhorn racing—he even has trouble getting up onto Rhyhorn’s back. But Serena’s mom used to be a Rhyhorn racer, so Serena is pretty good at this stuff, and she shows him the ropes. She even shares her mom’s advice, “Be one with Rhyhorn,” which seems to help Ash get the hang of things!

The next day, it’s time for the race! Of course, the Team Rocket trio have been lurking about as usual, and they interrupt the race in an attempt to catch the racing Rhyhorn—and Pikachu, too! Ash and the other racers are tied up and unable to help, but Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie are soon on the scene! Clemont and Bonnie free the captured Rhyhorn while Serena and Fennekin hold Team Rocket at bay, and then the Rhyhorn close in to send the villains blasting off again.
Before leaving the village, Serena calls her mom to introduce her new friends and share her travel plans! Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena excitedly make preparations to head out for Cyllage City. But first, Serena has a gift for Ash! She baked some cookies to recognize his hard work, and to thank him for helping her all those years ago. There are enough cookies for everyone, so they won’t be traveling on an empty stomach as the journey continues!

==Plot==

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} are departing [[Santalune City]] when he asks {{an|Serena}} where she is headed to next. She begins to ponder, before Ash asks if she wants to join them on their journey. She eventually agrees, and points out that in order to reach [[Cyllage City]], the site of the next gym, they must first travel through [[Lumiose City]].

While in the woods, Ash considers challenging the [[Lumiose Gym]] again, but {{an|Clemont}} advises him that he had just started his journey in [[Kalos]], and that he should catch a Pokémon first. While Ash begins searching, Clemont asks Serena why she decided to go on a journey; she then shows Ash a handkerchief that he gave her at [[Professor Oak]]'s Summer Camp.

At the camp, Serena gets lost in a forest, and fell after being startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, injuring her knee in the process. Scared, she admits that she didn't want to attend the camp, calls for her [[Grace (Kalos)|mother]]. Soon, the bush shakes again, as Ash spots her. Noticing Serena's injury, Ash pulls out the handkerchief, wrapping it around her knee. Calling it a good-luck charm, he states it will make the pain go away, though her knee continues to hurt. Ash tells Serena to not "give up until it's over," and helps her up, leading her out of the forest.

Giving the handkerchief back to Ash, he finally recognizes her, and asks her if the handkerchief was the reason for following him. Serena stated she wanted to see Ash again, but he had failed to recognize her beforehand. Eventually, the ground began trembling, as a group of {{p|Rhyhorn}} racers speed down the forest path. [[Officer Jenny]] appears, informing the group that they are on a Rhyhorn racing track. At the track's starting line, Ash is introduced to Rhyhorn racing, as Serena tells him that the track is basic, compared to others, prompting Ash to praise her for her knowledge. The gang parts ways with Officer Jenny at a Rhyhorn stable, and as Ash attempts to sneak onto a nearby Rhyhorn, Serena warns him against doing so, as his attempt would startle it and cause it to run; instead, he should approach it carefully. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches the group, and plot to steal the Rhyhorn due to their power, along with {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Later, Serena and Ash change into Rhyhorn racing outfits, and Serena tells him the method to climbing onto Rhyhorn. However, Ash repeatedly falls off, and asks Serena to show him how to do so. Impressed, he then asks her how to make it run, causing Rhyhorn to knock her off. Surrounded by Rhyhorn, they begin licking her (and eventually {{an|Bonnie}}), as Serena begins to realize that Rhyhorn are actually friendly. Ash later begins riding, and asks Serena about his progress, in which she replies with similar words that her mother had told her. As a result, Serena realizes she had misjudged Rhyhorn racing.

At night, while everyone is sleeping, Serena is baking cookies, while her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} watches. She tells it to keep the cookies a secret, and hopes they taste good.

The next day, the race is set to begin, but as the {{WP|Racing flags#Green flag|green flag}} waved to start the race, Ash and Rhyhorn have a rough start, but manage to catch up to the other racers. In the woods, [[James's Inkay]] squirts ink on the cameras broadcasting the race, prompting Serena, Clemont, Bonnie and Fennekin to investigate. Meanwhile, Ash wonders what happened to the other Rhyhorn, but is then snared by a net, as Pikachu and Rhyhorn get caught in a cage. Team Rocket then appears, as it is revealed that the other Rhyhorn racers are tied up, as their Rhyhorn are also locked in cages, which connect into a train. {{MTR}} then drives the train away, but is hit by {{m|Mud Shot}} from [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], as Clemont shows up. Serena, Bonnie and Fennekin also appear, and Fennekin asks Serena to battle Team Rocket, to which she agrees. She orders it to use {{m|Ember}}, and the fire causes James to drop the controller that manages the train. Clemont grabs a rock and dives at the controller, destroying it and freeing Pikachu and the Rhyhorn. Surrounded, Team Rocket is charged by the Rhyhorn, and is sent blasting off, as Jenny arrives.

Ash, Clemont and Bonnie introduce themselves to Serena's mother, as Ash tells her about Serena teaching him to ride a Rhyhorn, much to Serena's dismay. Frantically, Serena tells her mother that she will be traveling with Ash and the gang, which her mother calls a wonderful experience for her. Later, Serena gives Ash a pouch, containing the cookies that she made earlier, which she says is a thank-you gift for what happened when they were younger. However, Ash continues eating, as Clemont and Bonnie scold him for eating too fast and eventually choking, but Serena also gives them pouches as well.

==Blurb==

After his defeat at the Santalune City Gym, Ash is having doubts that he can defeat the skilled Gym Leader Viola in a rematch. But Serena (who, it turns out, met Ash at Pokémon Summer Camp when they were younger) reminds him that he’s always been determined not to give up until it’s over. This reminder snaps Ash out of his self-doubt and inspires him to do some serious special training with Pikachu and Fletchling against Alexa’s Noivern!

Standing up to Noivern’s Gust is hard work, but soon Ash feels like they’re ready. He also has an idea about how to deal with the ice battlefield if Viola uses that trick again, but he’s not telling anybody what it is. And since they also had trouble with Surskit’s Sticky Web, Clemont shows off one of his inventions: a machine that reproduces Sticky Web exactly! The machine shoots a couple of webs so Pikachu and Fletchling can practice dodging, but when Clemont tries to turn up the intensity, it blows up. Undeterred, Ash asks Froakie to throw its gooey Frubbles to simulate Sticky Web attacks, and Ash and his team seem to be as ready for a rematch as they can be...

The next day, it’s obvious right from the start that their intense training is paying off. Pikachu digs in with its tail to stay upright on the icy battlefield and defeats Surskit! Ash then sends Fletchling out for a rematch against Vivillon, but Viola’s Pokémon has another move they didn’t know about: Sleep Powder! The snoozing Fletchling can’t avoid Vivillon’s powerful Solar Beam, and Viola evens the score at one Pokémon each.
Ash has to call Pikachu back in, even though it’s worn out from beating Surskit. Vivillon uses Sleep Powder again—but Ash’s voice cuts through Pikachu’s sleepiness, telling it to use Electro Ball on itself! This shocking strategy wakes Pikachu up so it can defeat Vivillon with a final Thunderbolt, and Ash wins the match and the Bug Badge!

Alexa suggests the Cyllage City Gym for their next destination, and after a few farewells, Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie head off—along with Serena, who isn’t yet sure where she’s going...

==Plot==
The episode starts with {{Ash}} training with [[Alexa]]. After saving his Pokemon from being swayed by Gust, Ash ponders on how he can beat [[Viola]] with so many different things to deal with. As he does so, {{an|Serena}} walks over and hands Ash a cloth to clean himself with. Hesitantly, Serena asks Ash if he remembers her. She reveals that the two of them met at Professor Oak's Summer Camp, and Ash remembers going there, much to Serena's pleasure. Unfortunately, however, Ash does not remember Serena specifically, which immediately disappoints her. Despite this, she instantly cheers up and tells Ash that his training is more important. She then starts raving about battles, and when Ash says that what she saw back at the gym was a total flop on his part, she reminds him how he once told her to not give up until it's over, and that he hasn't changed at all since. Ash laughs, and regains his spirit to win. He thanks Serena for her help, and tells Alexa to get Noivern to use Gust one more time. {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Ash|Fletchling}} stabilize themselves in the middle of the attack, and the process repeats until evening.

In the Pokemon Center, as everyone is eating dinner, Ash states that his countermeasure for Gust is now complete, and Bonnie says that now he only needs to deal with Sticky Web, Psychic, and the ice battlefield. Ash says he has an idea for the ice battlefield, and {{an|Bonnie}} is excited to know, but is disappointed that Ash is keeping that a secret. {{an|Clemont}} says he can help with handling Sticky Web, and Ash says it's right back to training after they all eat, with Pikachu and Fletchling agree to. As they continue eating, Serena admiringly stares at Ash.

On the battlefield, Clemont presents and elaborates on his new invention, a cannon that fires artificial Sticky Webs, which he names the "Sticky Web Sticky Wicket Whacker Wonk". Bonnie and Serena are confused about the name, while Ash takes an infatuation to the device. Clemont fires artificial Sticky Webs at Pikachu and Fletchling, which they dodge. Everything seems to go all and well, until Clemont sets his machine to maximum level and tilts up wards, causing sticky globs of webbing to be lodged in the barrel, malfunction and explode, giving everyone an afro. Despite this, Ash still has an idea, and sends out his {{TP|Ash|Froakie}} and uses its Frubbles in place of Sticky Web. After the training, Bonnie begins to fall asleep, and Clemont puts her to bed. Serena sees Ash's determination, and Ash assumes she may do that someday, but Serena says she still doesn't know what she wants to do. Ash understands, and says that she will find something she likes one day.

The next day, Ash and Viola's rematch is about to get underway, with Alexa telling Serena that she wasn't expecting her of all people to give Ash his much-needed inspiration. After the referee lays out the rules, Viola mentions to Ash that Alexa had told her about his relentless training from the day before. Ash is equally psyched, saying that the aforementioned training is sure to earn him a badge this time. Viola deploys {{p|Surskit}} while Ash sends out Pikachu. At first, neither side does anything (except for Surskit skating from side to side), Alexa pointing out that Ash is waiting for Surskit to make the first move. Surskit does so and fires {{m|Sticky Web}}. Thanks to the previous day's training, Pikachu has no trouble dodging it. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which Surskit blocks with {{m|Protect}}. Pikachu then dodges a {{m|Signal Beam}} before landing a hit with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Viola then tells Surskit to freeze the battlefield with {{m|Ice Beam}}, but anticipating this, Ash tells Pikachu to latch on and use Thunderbolt, causing Surskit to blindly fire Ice Beam all over the place. However, Pikachu is unable to do a Thunderbolt in time, and is finally thrown off, allowing Surskit to freeze the entire battlefield the same way as before.

Surskit then starts skating circles around Pikachu, who is having trouble staying on its feet. Bonnie is worried that it's starting to shape up like the last battle, but Serena is optimistic about Ash's chances due to the intense training he put in. Viola orders a Signal Beam, and Pikachu digs its tail into the ice to stay balanced, Clemont realizing that this was Ash's secret plan for the ice battlefield. Pikachu then fires a Thunderbolt, while at the same time Surskit launches the Signal Beam. The attacks collide, but the Thunderbolt pushes back the Signal Beam and hits Surskit dead on, knocking it out.

Viola recalls Surskit, as does Ash with Pikachu. Viola asks him why he did that, and Ash, grabbing a Pokeball from his belt, says that Fletchling wants another shot at {{p|Vivillon}}. They both summon their respective Pokemon, and Bonnie notes that Sticky Web won't be an issue this time, which Serena credits to Pikachu. Clemont adds that as Ash's Gust countermeasure is also down pat, this is nothing like their previous battle.

Fletchling leads off with {{m|Steel Wing}}, but Vivillon uses {{m|Psychic}} to catch Fletchling in mid-air and throw it around and down to the ground. Fletchling gets up and uses Steel Wing again, which hits Vivillon this time. Fletchling then charges in with {{m|Peck}}, which Vivillon dodges before attacking with Gust. Fletchling initially struggles against it, but is quickly able to stabilize itself when Ash reminds it of their training. Ash then orders a {{m|Razor Wind}}, while Vivillon counters with {{m|Sleep Powder}}- catching everyone off-guard and putting Fletchling to sleep- but not before being hit by the Razor Wind. A subsequent {{m|Solar Beam}} knocks Fletchling out. Bonnie is sorry to see Fletchling go down, with Alexa remarking that her sister would still give Ash a run for his money despite his determination to win. Serena isn't worried, and she instills her faith in Ash into the others.

The battle is now down to Pikachu and Vivillon. Vivillon leads off with Gust, which Pikachu struggles against and gets knocked back a few feet, having not fully recovered from the battle with Surskit. Viola then tells Ash that at this point Pikachu would be hard-pressed to defeat Vivillon- however, Ash makes it clear that he has no intention of backing down, echoing what he had said to Serena at camp when they were children. Vivillon uses Gust again, but thinking fast, Ash has Pikachu anchor itself into the ice with Iron Tail. Vivillon and Pikachu then fire Solar Beam and Thunderbolt respectively, both of which cancel each other out. Vivillon then uses Sleep Powder, putting Pikachu into a daze. Viola orders a Solar Beam, while at the same time Ash pleads with Pikachu to wake up. Serena then yells out words of encouragement to Ash, and it is then that he comes to his senses and tells Pikachu to use {{m|Electro Ball}} on itself. It works, as the Sleep Powder is now gone and Pikachu is wide awake. Vivillon then fires the Solar Beam, while Pikachu counters with Electro Ball. The attacks create an explosion upon collision, but the Electro Ball finds its way through and hits Vivillon, knocking it back against the lamps that had been frozen by Surskit's Ice Beam earlier, getting ice on one of its wings and causing it to fly erratically. Ash then orders a Thunderbolt, which puts Vivillon down for the count and secures his first Kalos Gym victory.

Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena congratulate Ash on his win, and he thanks them for their help, saying he couldn't have done it alone. Clemont shrugs it off, saying he had nothing to do with it, but Ash explains that the failure of Clemont's machine the night before inspired him to have Pikachu wake itself up with Electro Ball, and because of that and rest of his training he credits his victory to the whole group, not just himself.

After recalling Vivillon, Viola walks across the battlefield with Alexa to present Ash with the {{DL|Badge|Bug Badge}} as proof of his victory at the Santalune Gym. Ash takes it from the case held by the referee, and proudly does his badge pose before putting it into his case.

Viola wishes the gang luck in the future, and Alexa tells Ash that the next gym is located in [[Cyllage City]], so he decides to head there next.

Ash then asks Serena where she's planning to go next, and the episode ends there...

==Blurb==

Our heroes have finally arrived in Santalune City, and Ash can’t wait to get on with his first Kalos region Gym battle! Clemont and Bonnie aren’t sure of the Gym’s location, but a photographer offers them directions after snapping a wonderful photo of Ash and Pikachu. Thanks to her, they quickly find the Santalune Gym, where they run into Alexa and Helioptile! Alexa figured they would be there to challenge her Gym Leader sister soon, so she waited for them.

Then, the Gym Leader herself arrives: it’s Viola, the photographer they met earlier! After a tour of the Gym, which contains a gallery of some of Viola’s excellent photographs, it’s time for Ash’s challenge. Ash starts out with Pikachu, while Viola uses Surskit. And soon after the battle begins, someone else arrives to join Alexa, Clemont, and Bonnie on the sidelines...Serena!

Viola uses Surskit’s Ice Beam to convert the Gym into a frozen battlefield. Pikachu has trouble moving on the slippery surface, and Surskit (who can skate nimbly across the ice) quickly gains the upper hand, leaving Ash with one Pokémon left: Fletchling.

As a Flying-type, Fletchling not only has a type advantage over Surskit, but can also avoid the icy battlefield completely. Fletchling defeats Surskit, and Viola brings out Vivillon, whose powerful Gust attack knocks Fletchling into a [[Sticky Web]] left behind from one of Surskit’s attacks. Fletchling can’t get away, and Vivillon quickly brings the challenge to an end.

Ash and the others rush off to the Pokémon Center to get help for Pikachu and Fletchling, but Serena notices that Ash has forgotten his [[bag|backpack]] and follows after them. Alexa offers to help Ash train for his rematch, since her Noivern also knows Gust. After several failed attempts to stand steady against the force of Noivern’s Gust, Pikachu, Fletching, and Ash are all exhausted and frustrated. Serena offers Ash her support...and a question: does he remember her?

==Plot==
{{an|Serena}} and her {{p|Fennekin}} are eating breakfast and once they finish, they head to [[Santalune City]] to find {{Ash}}.

Now, Ash is running to find the gym, with {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} behind him, trying to catch up. Clemont suddenly trips and asks Ash if he knows where the gym is. Ash responds with the answer no, and suddenly [[Viola]] takes a picture of Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} smiling at each other on the fountain. Viola then gives directions for the gang and Ash starts to run off again. Bonnie runs after her and Clemont thanks her. When they get to the gym, Alexa's Helioptile jumps on Ash. Then {{p|Helioptile}} jumps back to [[Alexa]], and then Alexa greets them. Next, Viola comes in and allows everyone to come in. Soon after everyone looks at Viola's bug photographs, Bonnie tries to get Viola to marry Clemont, but Clemont pulls Bonnie away with his {{p|Aipom}} Arm.

Meanwhile, Serena has just arrived in town, and she can't stop thinking about reuniting with Ash, eager to see the look on his face when that happens.

Back at the gym, the battle begins, and Viola sends out her {{p|Surskit}}, which Ash checks in his Pokédex before sending out Pikachu. The battle starts with {{m|Quick Attack}} but Surskit blocks with {{m|Protect}}. Pikachu tries to go around Surskit to use {{m|Iron Tail}} but it dodges. As Surskit skates around, Ash tells Pikachu to stop Surskit from moving with {{m|Electro Ball}} but Surskit counters with {{m|Ice Beam}}.

Alexa states to Clemont and Bonnie that Viola is tough and defeating her won't be an easy task. Viola tells Surskit to use Ice Beam on the battlefield and it does. Pikachu is having a hard time avoiding the ice and the field is frozen solid. Pikachu is slipping on the ice and falls over. Surskit moves really fast on the ice. Pikachu is hanging on and Ash tells him to use Iron Tail. As Surskit gets close, Pikachu scores a direct hit. Viola tells Surskit to hang in there and use Ice Beam. Pikachu tries to counter with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Ice Beam overpowers it and Pikachu falls backwards. Viola commands Surskit to use {{m|Signal Beam}} and it hits Pikachu. After the brief explosion, Pikachu is knocked out. Ash puts Pikachu on the sidelines, thanking it for a great battle, and summons {{AP|Fletchling}} next.

At that moment, Serena arrives at the gym. Upon seeing Ash, she can't contain her excitement and runs straight for him, only to be stopped in her tracks by Alexa. She then asks if she can watch the battle, which Alexa, Bonnie, and Clemont allow.

Fletchling leads off with {{m|Peck}}, which Surskit dodges before firing Ice Beam, which is dodged by Fletchling. Surskit then uses {{m|Sticky Web}}, which Fletchling avoids with {{m|Double Team}}. A {{m|Razor Wind}} finally knocks Surskit out.

Viola recalls Surskit and sends out her {{p|Vivillon}} next, which Ash scans in his Pokédex. Fletchling charges in with Peck, but is stopped cold and thrown down by Vivillon's {{m|Psychic}}. Fletchling recovers, but Vivillon uses {{m|Gust}} to blow it into one of the Sticky Webs laid down by Surskit earlier. Now trapped, Fletchling can't escape from Vivillon's {{m|Solar Beam}}, and it is down for the count, meaning Ash's wait for his first Kalos Gym badge has to be prolonged.

Stung by defeat, Ash requests a rematch once he's ready, which Viola accepts, and he hurries out of the Gym to the Pokémon Center. Serena is about to say something to Ash on his way out, but he is too concerned about his injured Pokémon to notice her. However, she then sees that he left his backpack behind.

Alexa then sees the picture her sister took of Ash and Pikachu when he arrived in town, and remarks how it seems to emphasize the bond the two of them have. Viola mentions how that wasn't evident in their battle, but Alexa warns her that Ash should not be taken lightly and that things could be very different in their rematch, before leaving the gym.

Meanwhile, Ash is still sulking over his loss, thinking about how he was completely outclassed by Viola. As he ponders how he'll do things differently, Serena returns his backpack to him. Bonnie and Clemont run over, recognizing her from when they were watching Ash's battle. They introduce themselves, and Ash apologizes for not noticing her before since he was so into the battle. He introduces himself, as does Serena, who starts asking him something before being interrupted by the Pokémon Center bell.

Pikachu and Fletchling are now fully recovered, and Ash introduces them to Serena, telling them that she was watching their battle. After acknowledging them, she then asks [[Nurse Joy]] how she got there from Route 4 without passing her. Ash asks Serena if she's sure it's the same Joy, prompting Joy to mention the one on Route 4 is her cousin, proving Ash's hunch correct, and shows the gang a photo of her and the different Nurse Joys. Wanting Joy to look at her Pokémon, Serena brings out Fennekin, which Ash checks in his Pokédex. When she mentions that she got it from [[Professor Sycamore]], Clemont assumes that she's just starting out, which Serena confirms. After Joy agrees to examine Fennekin, Alexa arrives at the Pokemon Center, and seeing that Pikachu and Fletchling have recovered, asks Ash if he's ready to start training for his rematch. He says he is, and asks her if she can help.

Out on the practice field, Alexa summons her {{p|Noivern}}, as it can also use Gust, which Ash acknowledges as one of the issues he had in the battle, courtesy of Vivillon. Noivern uses Gust, and although Pikachu and Fletchling try to stand up to it, they get blown away, forcing Ash to run forward and catch them from the fall. He encourages them to keep trying, and asks Alexa to have Noivern use Gust again. Pikachu and Fletchling withstand it longer this time, but still eventually get blown away, again prompting Ash to leap forward and catch them.

As Ash ponders how he'll deal with everything that gave him problems in the battle, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with. Hesitating, she then asks him if he remembers her...

==Blurb==

At Professor Sycamore’s research lab, Serena has to choose between Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie for her first Pokémon. After learning about the three with her new Pokédex, she tells the professor she made her choice even before she got there. It’s Fennekin!

Meanwhile, our heroes are on their way to Santalune City for Ash’s first Gym battle, and Bonnie is demonstrating just how much she loves to take care of Pokémon. She gives Pikachu a bath, then helps Fletchling clean its wings. The two Pokémon are happily settling in for some snacks when the Dedenne our heroes encountered earlier leaps out of a nearby bush and nabs the food! Bonnie wants Clemont to catch this adorable Pokémon for her, but it goes running off, and everyone follows.

Pikachu follows Dedenne into its burrow, but they end up at the base of a tall cliff, unable to get back to the rest of the gang. To make matters worse, the villains of Team Rocket have been observing the two Pokémon, and now their plan to catch Pikachu includes catching Dedenne, too!

Our heroes catch up, a fierce battle ensues, and Team Rocket is left empty-handed—but Dedenne has been hurt. To restore it, Clemont produces another one of his inventions. This electric generator quickly gets Dedenne recharged, but then Clemont can’t turn the machine off, and it explodes. Dedenne is OK, though, and with Clemont’s gift of healing electricity, it’s decided it wants to join the group. Clemont and Bonnie have a new Pokémon friend!

Meanwhile, as she travels through an ominous forest, Serena realizes it’ll be getting dark soon. She wants to find a Pokémon Center where she and Fennekin can stay for the night. She sees someone behind a tree and asks for directions—but what looked like a woman in a striped dress turns out to be a wild Vespiquen! When it attacks, Fennekin leaps to Serena’s rescue and scares it off. Then, Nurse Joy and Wigglytuff show up to investigate the sounds of battle—and point the way to the nearby Pokémon Center. Relieved and happy, Serena races Fennekin all the way there!

==Plot==
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
{{an|Serena}} is given a Pokédex by [[Professor Sycamore]], and she is allowed to choose one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Kalos. Serena decided who she would choose before she left home, and her choice is revealed to be {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} are resting in the woods as they make their way to [[Santalune City]]. Bonnie is gushing over {{AP|Pikachu}}'s cuteness and stroking his tail. Ash allows Bonnie to feed his Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}} some Pokémon food. However, a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} runs up to Bonnie, snatches a piece of Pokémon food from her hand, and runs up a tree to eat it. The three are shocked, as they realize that this Dedenne is the same one that ran away from them in the previous episode. Bonnie still desperately wants the Dedenne, but it runs away again, and the three chase after it.

Dedenne digs multiple holes in order to trick Ash, Clemont and Bonnie. Clemont ultimately ends up grabbing Pikachu, mistaking it for Dedenne, and Pikachu zaps him in surprise. Pikachu jumps down a hole and corners Dedenne before tackling it. The two tumble down one tunnel, into another, and end up falling out of a hole on the side of a cliff. Furious, Dedenne attempts to run away, but Pikachu manages to settle things between the two. {{TRT}} spies on the two {{t|Electric}} Pokémon, and decide that poaching Pikachu now is a good time, as Ash and {{ashfr}} isn't nearby to stop them.

Bonnie, who still wanted to keep Dedenne, is looking in one of the holes for it, wondering where it had gone, while Ash is worrying about his Pikachu. Later, Dedenne and Pikachu try to find their way back to Ash and his friends, who in turn are trying to find the two Pokémon. Pikachu zaps a [[Sitrus Berry]] off a tree for the hungry Dedenne, but the Antenna Pokémon's meal is cut short by Team Rocket, who shoots a net that narrowly misses the two Pokémon. On Ash's side, they still have no sight on both Pikachu and Dedenne, and Clemont sends {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} back down the to continue looking for them, while Ash asked his Fletchling to seach for them fro the sky. Back at the chase, Team Rocket chases Dedenne and Pikachu to a rocky hillside, where the two Pokémon manage to put some distance between them and Team Rocket, despite Dedenne nearly falling off, as Pikachu saves Dedenne, impressing it with his bravery. [[James]] decides to use his new {{TP|James|Inkay}} for the first time, and Inkay manages to injure Dedenne with a {{m|Tackle}} and knock both of the Electric Pokémon into a river. Team Rocket chases them on an inflatable boat but they end up crashing into a rock, which deflates their boat, which sends them flying into the sky with all the air expelling from their boat.

Ash's Fletchling flies overhead and finds Pikachu and a weakened Dedenne. Ash and friends reunite with Pikachu and Dedenne, but Dedenne is too tired to stand up. Clemont makes a machine that recharges Dedenne with electricity, but he pulls out an essential part of the machine by accident, causing it to explode. Although another one of Clemont's machines has been destroyed, Dedenne is recharged and as energetic as ever. Team Rocket returns and Clemont commands Dedenne in the fight. Dedenne uses {{m|Nuzzle}} on James's Inkay, paralyzing the Revolving Pokémon. Dedenne and Pikachu send a lightning bolt at Inkay and Team Rocket, blasting them off yet again. With Team Rocket taken care of, Clemont finally catches Dedenne. The three are overjoyed, especially Bonnie. Clemont then lets Dedenne out of its Poké Ball, and Bonnie unwittingly teels Dedenne to use Nuzzle, resulting in another electric shock for her! But as everyone laughs, she laughs it off too!

The episodes ends with Serena and her new Fennekin walking through the woods, looking for a Pokémon Center. A {{p|Vespiquen}} attacks them when she mistakes it for a person, but Fennekin saves the day when she repels the Vespiquen with {{m|Ember}}. The Vespiquen escapes and [[Nurse Joy]] and {{p|Wigglytuff}} arrive shortly after. Nurse Joy helps lead the two to the nearby Pokémon Center.

==Major events==

* {{an|Serena}} chooses {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} as her [[starter Pokémon]].
* [[James's Inkay]] is revealed to know {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Psybeam}}, and {{m|Foul Play}}.

The Pokémon franchise first reached '''{{wp|Russia}}''' in December of 2000, when [[EP001|first episode]] was premiered. In Cyrillic script, Pokémon is written as '''Покемон''' and its plural is '''Покемоны''' ''pokemony''.

==Pokémon anime==
===First wave of Pokémon in Russia===
Pokémon was originally brought over to Russia by Sargona Ltd., which sold English-language cards from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Pokémon anime was first shown on ORT (now known as Channel One), which is the main television station in Russia.

[[File:Channel One Russia.png|thumb|left|ORT (Channel One) logo]]
The rights to the series were purchased in early 2000 and episodes began to appear by December of the same year. The Russian translation of the anime, which was conducted by the {{wp|Kiev|Kievan}} Pilot Studio, is based on the English dub. The Russian version of the anime retains all of the English character names to match the Pokémon TCG cards that had been already released.

While the translation quality of the Russian dub is considered to be high by most fans, a few changes had been made. For example, some locations had slightly different names, such as [[Dark City]] being retitled {{tt|Мрачный Город|Gloomy City}}. However, the lyrics to Pokémon Theme were later retranslated and used in the last episodes of ''[[Pokémon: Indigo League|Indigo League]]''. Any episodes of the anime which were banned in the United States were also [[Banned episodes|banned]] in Russia.

In an interview with Afisha magazine, the management director of children's programming on ORT, {{wp|Sergey Suponev}}, assured viewers in the harmlessness of Pokémon:

<blockquote>
«Our plan to broadcast this show can be called madness by someone. There was a lot of noise around this series all over the world. In fact, it is a pretty harmless thing. A sweet story about a boy who saves animals and teaches them to fight for justice. And there are bad guys who want to send them to the zoo for lots of money - that's all there is to be scandalous.»
</blockquote>

Within a day of the anime's television premiere, the management of public relations of ORT had invited journalists and children from an Otradnoye shelter to a Rolan cinema for a presentation of the series. The children received the presentation well, and then took a quiz organized by ORT.

[[File:Charizard chills rus.jpg‎|thumb|right|The last episode shown on ORT: ''Charizard Chills'']]
From December 18, 2000 to January 25, 2001, the anime was broadcasted by ORT. In February 5, 2001 they began to show the series again until August 2001. The last episode to air on ORT was ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''. 104 episodes of the [[original series]] were shown.

After this, the Pokémon anime was not aired in Russia for seven years. Many fans wrote to TV channels asking them to air the anime, but the only appearance of Pokémon on Russian TV was the airing of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M04|Pokémon 4Ever]]'' on ORT at 6:00 am.

Many rumors have circulated in speculation of why ORT stopped airing the anime, including:
* A Japanese channel may have shown an offensive video about Russia. This has been unproven.
* Some believe that ORT canceled the show because Sergey Suponev, the director of children's programming of ORT, died in a snowmobile accident, and the new director supposedly did not like Pokémon.
* Others believe that Russian newspapers and the {{wp|yellow press}} pressured the station to cancel the show. Some reported that Pokémon was causing [[EP038|epileptic seizures]], others wrote that Pokémon "brainwashes children" with {{wp|subliminal stimuli#Consumption and television|subliminal stimuli}}. ORT didn't want its reputation to fall, so they stopped airing Pokémon.
* ORT and the Japanese creators of the anime couldn't make an agreement on the price of licensing the anime.

===The return of Pokémon===
[[File:TNT logo.png|thumb|right|TNT logo]]
On September 20, 2008 {{wp|TNT (Russia)|TNT}}, another Russian channel, premiered the [[DP001|first]] episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. The tenth season was shown fully.

Pokémon has also recently aired on '''Jetix'''. Unlike TNT, both the tenth season and ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension|Battle Dimension]]'' have been aired fully.

On August 10, 2010, when Jetix-Russia was replaced by the {{wp|Disney Channel}}, the airing of Pokémon was finished for the second time. However, the Russian version of ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' had been aired on {{wp|Disney Channel (Ukraine)|Disney Channel Ukraine}}.

On February 3, 2012, Russian version of ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' started on TNT. By the end of 2012, twelfth and [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors|thirteenth]] seasons of the {{pkmn|anime}} were shown fully.

On November 6, 2012, simultanously with two last, the Russian version of the 14th season ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]'' started on TNT and has been aired fully.
As of 2013, there were no plans for airing the [[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies|two]] [[Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova|remaining]] seasons of the [[Best Wishes series|series]] on TNT or any other Russian channel, creating a hiatus in airings of the anime.
{{bulbanews|Pokémon anime, TCG return to Russia}}

The hiatus was broken on March 12, 2014, when {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}}, the Russian channel, which specializes on teenager-oriented {{wp|animated series}} signed a five-year contract with Pokémon Company International to broadcast the anime. The series started with airing ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]'' on May 1-11, 2014. On May 12, 2014, ''[[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]'' began to run on {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}}. This season marks the total localization of the anime. The season logo, the episode title card, the name of the [[Who's That Pokémon?|eyecatch]] Pokémon are all written in Russian.

The sixteenth season of the anime ''[[Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova]]'' premiered on July 18, 2014.

The seventeenth season of the anime, ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' premiered on Saturday, September 20, 2014.

===Pokémon movies===
Aside for the anime series, the movies were translated too, but they were dubbed by different studios. ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', ''[[M03|The Spell of Unown]]'', as well as their respective [[Pikachu Shorts]], also, there are dubs of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. All those movies were officially released on {{wp|DVD}} and {{wp|VHS}}. ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' was aired on Jetix, also, the Russian dub of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' was revealed to be on Polish DVD release of this movie.<ref>[http://www.timfilmstudio.com.pl/katalog-produktow/produkt,2755,pokemon-zoroark-mistrz-iluzji.html Katalog produktów - Film studio]</ref> {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}} got the airing license for movies connected to the [[Best Wishes series]]. ''[[M14|Black – Victini and Reshiram]]'' has been shown on June 12, 2014. At the same time, ''[[M14|White – Victini and Zekrom]]'' has not aired yet. ''[[M15|Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice]]'' and ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' have been broadcast on September 20, 2014.

[[Ash Ketchum]] had been voiced by Anna Leshchenko (Анна Лещенко). Tatiana Zinovenko (Татьяна Зиновенко) had given her voice to {{an|Misty}} and [[Jessie]]. Anatolii Zinovenko (Анатолий Зиновенко) was the voice of [[James]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{an|Giovanni}} and the [[narrator]]. Dmitrii Zavadskii (Дмитрий Завадский) was the voice of [[Gary Oak]], {{MTR}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{Tracey}}.

====SDI Media dub====
Larisa Nekipelova (Лариса Некипелова) has been voicing Ash and {{an|Cynthia}}. {{an|Dawn}} had been voiced by Olga Shorohova (Ольга Шорохова). She has also given her voice to [[Kenny (Sinnoh)|Kenny]], {{an|Bianca}} and [[Burgundy]]. Alexander Kovrizhnih (Александр Коврижных) was the voice of Brock.

Some episodic roles are voiced by Alexei Kostrichkin (Алексей Костричкин), Natalya Kaznacheeva (Наталья Казначеева), Daniil Eldarov (Даниил Эльдаров), Alexander Voronov (Александр Воронов) and Alexander Gavrilin (Александр Гаврилин).

==Pokémon games==
At first, [[Nintendo]] handheld consoles were not very popular in Russia and Pokémon games could be rarely found in shops. The games were distributed by "Noviy Disc", Nintendo's official distributor between 2006 and 2011, and usually games became available with great delay after the European release and at a high cost, but the situation changed when Nintendo opened its office in Russia: They stopped working with "Noviy Disk", took a new distributor called "OCS" and especially opened their owned online store. Now 3DS games are available for sale at least on their official store '''[https://mir.nintendo.ru/ Mir Nintendo]'''. {{g|X and Y}} were the first Pokémon games in Russia released in the same time than the rest of the world thanks to this Nintendo online store. Pokémon video games are not localized in Russian, however, there have been few fan translations of the DS games circulating among Russian fans.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
{{bulbanews|Pokémon Trading Card Game coming to Russia in October}}
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was released in Russia, and obtained "the same cult status" as it did in Britain.<ref name="guardian">[http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/nov/24/russia.nickpatonwalsh Barbie is banned from Russia, without love | World news | The Observer] (retrieved May 5, 2010)</ref> The Russian government attempted to ban or, in the least, censor the game in late 2001-2002, but it seems that this was not carried through.

The Trading Card Game was evidently released in English, as the government wanted the cards to be translated into Russian as part of the censorship.

When the anime stopped airing, the Pokémon Trading Cards stopped releasing as well.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game returned to Russia when they were distributed along with toys in {{wp|Happy Meal|Happy Meals}} in Russian {{wp|McDonald's}} in January 2012.

The [[XY (TCG)|Pokémon Trading Card Game: XY]] goes on sale in Russia on October 6, 2014. It will be the first Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion in Russia since the original {{TCG|Base Set}}.

==[[Pokémon merchandise]]==
There is a lot of Pokémon merchandise, which used to be especially popular during the airing of the anime on ORT. Toys, {{wp|Playing card|playing cards}} (not Trading Card Game ones), official magazines, {{wp|pogs}}, {{pkmn|clothing|clothes}}, and other merchandise found a quick sale. In 2001, {{wp|PepsiCo}} had released its drinks with {{wp|Stereoscopy|stereoscopic}} screenshots of the anime placed on the bottles' caps — these caps are highly valued as collectibles among Russian fans. ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'' and the ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook 2]]'' by [[Maria Barbo]] were translated and released under the name "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion|Справочник чемпиона покемонов spravochnik chempiona pokemonov}}" and "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion II|Справочник чемпиона покемонов II spravochnik chempiona pokemonov dva}}" respectively.

==Trivia==
*Some episodes dubbed by Pilot Studio were based on the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} version instead of the English dub. This is why [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]] are called "Alabastia" and "Vertania". Also, there was a dub error in [[EP003]] where Polish words can be heard.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuP444AYK5A Third Episode in Russian] (retrieved September 16, 2014)</ref>
*Anastasiya Fomicheva, the actress who voiced {{an|Dawn}}, is registered at the Russian Pokémon League.<ref>http://pokeliga.com/index.phtml?comments=518 (retrieved May 5, 2010)</ref>
*Pilot Studio also dubbed the Pokémon anime in {{wp|Ukrainian language|Ukrainian}} with the same actors.
*In non-English material in Russia, English names are used for Pokémon and characters, but transliterated into Cyrillic characters (as is the case with the Pokémon logo, above).

==Blurb==

When big trouble threatens the big city, it’s up to Ash, Pikachu, and their friends to stop it!

A vast Pokémon habitat amid the hustle and bustle of the big city seems like the perfect new home for a group of five Genesect. The arrival of these Mythical Pokémon quickly becomes a problem, though: their nest threatens the city’s power supply, and they keep attacking anyone who approaches it. On top of that, they’ve attracted the attention of the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo, who sympathizes with them because its own origins also involve human tampering. The group’s leader, known as Red Genesect, doesn’t trust Mewtwo, and their confrontation quickly rages out of control! Can Ash and friends stop these two powerful Pokémon before they destroy the city?

==Plot==
{{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} is flying with a group of {{type|Flying}} Pokémon over a mountain range, and later, the ocean. Deciding to challenge the limits of its power, Mewtwo flies ahead, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Mewtwo Y and ascending into the sky. Meanwhile, the [[Genesect Army]] arrives at a snowy area that their leader, a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, believes to be their home. Confused and distressed, the Genesect carrying the {{DL|Drive|Douse Drive}} calls out "I want to go home."

Mewtwo reaches the atmosphere but realizes it cannot stay there and begins falling. After changing back to its ordinary form, Mewtwo hears the Douse Drive Genesect's plea and rushes off to find them. An avalanche begins, and Mewtwo arrives in time to save the four regular Genesect, but the Red Genesect is swept up in the snow. Mewtwo peers into the Douse Drive Genesect's mind and learns that they were resurrected from three-hundred-million-year-old [[Fossil]]s by [[Team Plasma]] but escaped, and they are now searching for their home and see everyone around them as enemies. The Red Genesect returns and attacks Mewtwo, initially out of a belief that it was threatening the other Genesect but later out of anger over learning that their home is gone due to the passage of time. Mewtwo watches as the Genesect Army flees. Later, the five Genesect discover a large city's skyline, and seeing it as similar to their home, the Douse Drive Genesect happily says "I'm going home."

{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} arrive in the central area of [[New Tork City]] and visit the [[Pokémon Hills]] nature park. Their guide, [[Eric]], shows them around, and their Pokémon play with the wild Pokémon in the area for a while. Later, however, {{AP|Pikachu}} sees the Douse Drive Genesect sitting at a pond and staring at flowers floating on the water. The Genesect becomes frightened and folds up, leading Ash to sit on it in the mistaken belief that it is a statue. It flies off with Ash riding on it. After landing, Ash strikes up a friendship with the Genesect, and it tells him that it wants to go home. Ash realizes this means that it is lost and promises to somehow help it get back home. Suddenly, the Red Genesect and {{DL|Drive|Shock Drive}} Genesect arrive. Perceiving Ash's petting the Douse Drive Genesect as harming it, they attack. The Douse Drive Genesect tries to stop them, but using its power, the Red Genesect forces it to attack its new friends. However, Mewtwo suddenly appears and protects the humans from the attack, and the Genesect leave.

In an underground tunnel, Ash, Iris, and Cilan thank Mewtwo for saving them, but it says it was only protecting Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. Ash insists that Mewtwo tell them what kind of Pokémon they had encountered, so Mewtwo reveals that they are Genesect, Pokémon who were extinct for 300 million years until humans revived them from fossils. Mewtwo explains that it identifies with them due to its own origins as a Pokémon created by humans, then tells the group to forget they ever met it and flies off. {{TRT}}, who were eavesdropping on the conversation, decide to catch both Mewtwo and the Genesect Army.

At the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash spots a photo of the flowers he had seen the Genesect looking at. Eric explains that they are an ancient species known as the Panna Lotus, which he transplanted from [[Absentia Natural Park]] to Pokémon Hills. That night, while Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric eat at the Pokémon Center, the Genesect begin rampaging in Pokémon Hills, driving all the Pokémon out of the park. Once they have the area to themselves, the Genesect begin spinning a giant cocoon from sturdy threads, but the thread reaches underground into a power station, disrupting the power to the city. Team Rocket sneaks into Pokémon Hills, and Ash and the others rush there after being warned by a {{p|Sableye}} they befriended earlier only to discover all the Pokémon outside as a result of the Genesect rampaging. Cilan returns to the Pokémon Center to help an injured {{p|Ralts}}. Ash, Eric, and Iris try to enter but the Shock Drive and {{DL|Drive|Chill Drive}} Genesect push them away, so Eric shows them a workers' corridor used as an alternate entrance. Meanwhile, Team Rocket attempts to capture the Genesect with a bazooka but the Red Genesect spots them and drives them off. The tunnel leads Ash, Iris, and Eric to the underground power station, where they discover the threads wrapped around the generators.

Standing on a bridge overlooking the city, Mewtwo muses about its own origins. It flashes back to [[Mewtwo's creators|its creators]] conceiving it in a tank and later torturing it during an experiment, at which point it escaped. As it recalls how it once thought it was alone, it then flashes back to being [[SS026|badly injured after a violent battle]] and being struck by a bolt of lightning, at which point it encountered a cave of wild Pokémon that took it in and cared for it. Having realized it wasn't all alone after all, Mewtwo concludes that the Genesect deserve the same. A pair of {{p|Starly}} arrive and inform Mewtwo of the Genesect Army's rampage in Pokémon Hills, so it sets off.

Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Eric reach the main area of Pokémon Hills and are approached by the Douse Drive Genesect, who apologizes for attacking them earlier, leading Ash to conclude that it couldn't refuse the Red Genesect's orders. The Douse Drive Genesect excitedly runs to a pool where it shows them the Panna Lotuses and tells them that it likes the flowers, which grew in its home. Iris realizes that the cocoon is the Genesect Army's nest and that they are trying to turn Pokémon Hills into their new home. When the lights begin flickering again, Eric realizes there is an emergency at the power station and rushes off to resolve it, for if it continues, the station will explode, blacking out New Tork City and sending it into chaos. A {{p|Feraligatr}} native to Pokémon Hills starts fighting with the Red Genesect after breaking part of the cocoon, and when the Red Genesect uses {{m|Blaze Kick}} to knock the Feraligatr off a ledge, Mewtwo appears and rescues it with {{m|Psychic}}.

Mewtwo warns the Red Genesect not to attack the other Pokémon but it refuses to listen, so Mewtwo leads it out of Pokémon Hills while the Chill Drive, Shock Drive, and {{DL|Drive|Burn Drive}} Genesect begin attacking Ash, Iris, and the other Pokémon. Cilan returns to help, and the Douse Drive Genesect manages to resist the order to attack when it hears Ash's voice. The Red Genesect attacks Mewtwo as they fly through the city, ultimately forcing Mewtwo to fight back by ignoring all of Mewtwo's warnings. Mewtwo Mega Evolves and the two engage in a high-speed chase throughout the city. At Pokémon Hills, the other Genesect fight the wild Pokémon and eventually become overwhelmed, at which point the Red Genesect returns to protect them. When the Red, Burn Drive and Chill Drive Genesect turn to attack a {{p|Persian}}, Ash runs between them in an attempt to stop the attack, the Douse Drive Genesect jumps in the way and takes the full force of its allies' power. After expressing gratitude for Ash being safe, the Douse Drive Genesect's eyes go dark.

The other four Genesect take an aerial formation and begin to attack the rest of the Pokémon, but Mewtwo arrives and shields them with {{m|Protect}}. Mewtwo gives the Genesect Army a final warning to stop their rampage or be defeated, which the Red Genesect ignores. All four remaining Genesect engage Mewtwo in battle around the cocoon but are largely unable to keep up, especially when Mewtwo Mega Evolves to increase its speed. To counter this tactic, the Red Genesect orders the other three to try dragging Mewtwo down with their threads, but Mewtwo breaks free using {{m|Psystrike}}. The three regular Genesect fall through into the power station, causing the generators to completely overload, igniting fires on the cocoon's threads and blacking out all of New Tork City. Team Rocket, wandering around in the dark, fall into a work site and land on a group of {{p|Durant}}, who blast them off with {{m|Hidden Power}}.

As Mewtwo and the Red Genesect speed around the cocoon in pursuit of each other, the fires on the cocoon spread. The Douse Drive Genesect wakes up and attempts to stop it, and {{AP|Oshawott}}, Feraligatr, and the other Pokémon help it. The other Genesect climb out from the pit only to be trapped by the flames, but they are freed by Persian's {{m|Water Pulse}}. They then return the favor by protecting Ash from a falling piece of debris, having lost their aggression. The Douse Drive Genesect, however, is suddenly caught in a burst of fire and falls unconscious again. Up above, the Red Genesect manages to get in a hit on Mewtwo, nearly sending it falling into the fire; however, Ash, Iris, and Cilan catch it. Shifting back to its ordinary form, Mewtwo lands, as does the Red Genesect. After one last exchange of attacks, Ash runs between them and attempts to convince them to stop fighting. The Red Genesect refuses to listen and begins charging a {{m|Techno Blast}} at Ash, but the Douse Drive Genesect wakes up again and weakly begs its leader to stop. It is soon joined by the other Genesect and the Pokémon Hills Pokémon, but the Red Genesect refuses to let go of its quest and now declares even its own kind to be its enemy, firing its Techno Blast.

Mewtwo Mega Evolves and blocks the Techno Blast. Having had enough of the Red Genesect's behavior, Mewtwo restrains it with Psychic and grabs it by the cannon before shooting up into the sky, declaring that they must go beyond the limit, where nobody else exists. It blacks out after flying so high that they both begin to freeze. A short time later, Mewtwo wakes up alongside the Red Genesect in the upper atmosphere. The Red Genesect is in awe of [[Pokémon world|the planet]], and Mewtwo explains that it is the planet where they were both born, that they exist for a reason, and that on this planet, they are all friends. The aggression fades from the Red Genesect's eyes, and it accepts the hand extended by Mewtwo as an invitation to return to their home. However, as they fall, Mewtwo blacks out again. The Red Genesect grabs Mewtwo and uses its last powers to send a signal to the other Genesect to "return home" before blacking out as well.

As the last of the fires on the cocoon is put out, the other Genesect get the signal that the Red Genesect and Mewtwo are falling and fly off to help. Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}} and Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} to aid them. The Genesect create a net of thread to catch the two falling Pokémon, and Dragonite and Charizard try to hold it up, but their efforts fail. Ash declares they will catch Mewtwo and Red Genesect themselves, and on a suggestion from Iris, all the Pokémon create a giant cushion of water to catch them. Mewtwo helps the Red Genesect up from the water, and it voices its newfound belief that everyone is its friend. As everyone expresses relief that the crisis is finally over, Ash spots the Panna Lotuses and realizes that he knows where the Genesect can go.

Eric takes Ash, Iris, Cilan, and the Genesect Army to Absentia Natural Park, a place where the Panna Lotuses still grow naturally. While the other Genesect build another cocoon there, the Douse Drive Genesect happily tells Ash that it likes its new home. Mewtwo then thanks Ash for helping find the Genesect a home and tells him it will always be grateful that they met before Mega Evolving and flying off. Ash, Iris, and Cilan express hope they will meet Mewtwo again someday.

In the credits, the Genesect complete their nest in Absentia Natural Park. Eric is seen guiding a tour of the completed Pokémon Hills now that it is open to the public. Many rivals from the {{series|Best Wishes}} go by, as well as [[Alder]], [[Ingo]], [[Emmet]], [[Cynthia]], [[Professor Juniper]], [[Cedric Juniper]], and [[Don George]]. {{an|N}} is shown walking alone in a polar area. Ash, Iris, and Cilan walk past a disguised Team Rocket at a café. Mewtwo arrives in another large city at night and lands on a building, overlooking the vast metropolis.

The tickets were on sale from April 20 to July 12, 2013.

In Taiwan, it was distributed at select branches of [http://www.funbox.com.tw/ Funbox] from July 13 to August 15, 2013.

===Movie distributions===
[[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Movie Genesect|Genesect]] was distributed at theaters which screened the movie across Japan. It was available from July 13 to September 30, 2013.

In Indonesia and the Philippines, a Mewtwo identical to the one distributed in Japan was distributed to [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Pokémon Hills Mewtwo|Japanese]] and [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Pokémon Hills Mewtwo|English]] language games.

In the Philippines, it was distributed on November 16 and 17 at the {{wp|SM Megamall}} in {{wp|Manila}}.

==Trivia==
* The setting for this film is based on {{wp|New York City}}, including {{wp|Central Park}}. Director Kunihiko Yuyama has stated that this is due to his desire to create a contrast between the ancient Genesect and a setting that embraces technology and civilization.
** Several places in the city also reference locations within New York City. For example, an area modeled after {{wp|Times Square}} appears in a few scenes, and the [[Pokémon Center]] where Ash, Iris, Cilan and Eric eat is modeled on the famous restaurant {{wp|Tavern on the Green}}.
* In the scene where Mewtwo and Red Genesect fly through a part of New Tork City patterned after Times Square, some of the video screens are playing a [[Pokémon Baccer]] match between the [[Jubilife City|Jubilife]] Reds and [[Cianwood City|Cianwood]] Greens, the two teams who were seen in the prologue of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* This film marks the first time in which the final movie of an anime series doesn't feature a Pokémon from the following generation.
** It does, however, feature a new form of evolution of an {{p|Mewtwo|old Pokémon}} that can only be obtained starting in the following generation.
** In addition, it is the only movie to not debut any new Pokémon or new forms of Pokémon, as Mega Mewtwo Y and Genesect debuted in ''[[SS026|Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'' and ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', respectively.
* This is the fifth consecutive film in which {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not meet {{TRT}}. However, they are more prominently featured, attempting to capture Mewtwo and Genesect, as opposed to their brief, non-speaking cameos in the [[M15|previous film]].
* This is the first film since ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' to not feature [[Shōko Nakagawa]] as part of its cast. Instead, she appears in the [[Pikachu short]] attached to the film, ''[[PK25|Eevee & Friends]]''.
* This movie has the shortest time between its Japanese release and English debut, only three months.
* The English title of this movie was shown on Taiwanese theater billboards a month before it was officially confirmed.
* This is the only {{series|Best Wishes}} movie to feature Pokémon from generations prior to [[Generation V]] other than [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR}}.
* In addition to the United States, this movie aired on October 19, 2013 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|Italy}}, and {{pmin|France}}, as well as in {{pmin|Indonesia}} on November 2, 2013, and in {{pmin|the Philippines}} on November 13, 2013.
* This is the first movie to air in theaters in {{pmin|Indonesia}}, instead of being aired on TV.
* This is the first movie to be released on DVD in the US before its DVD release in Japan.
* In the credits, a reference to the original Mewtwo is made when the Mewtwo that appeared in this film is shown standing on top of a building overlooking a large city at night. This is the same scene that the original Mewtwo last appeared in at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.
* A Red Genesect [[TCG]] card is included in the English DVD release of this film.

===Dub edits===
* A full version of ''[[It's Always You and Me]]'' replaces ''[[Summerly Slope]]'' as the opening theme, and ''[[We're Coming Home]]'' replaces ''[[Smiling Face]]'' as the ending theme.

===Errors===
[[File:M16 Ash hair error.png|200px|thumb|Ash's eyebrow drawn over his hair]]
* In a scene during the film's credits, Ash's eyebrow is drawn over his hair.
* In the initial Cartoon Network airing of this film, the opening song has an error in which the voices of the characters on screen can be heard over the song itself. This is corrected in the DVD release.

==Blurb==

Ash and Pikachu, along with their friends Iris and Cilan, are on a train headed to the next stop on their journey. From the train, Ash spots an injured Pokémon—one he’s never seen before. He’s trying to figure out how he can help when the train is attacked by the Legendary Kyurem, a Dragon-type Pokémon with immense power! Ash and the others barely manage to escape the rampaging Kyurem’s attack, and as the dust settles, they turn their attention to the injured Pokémon. Their new acquaintance turns out to be the Mythical Pokémon Keldeo, and it’s on a mission to rescue its friends—Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, the Legendary Pokémon known as the Swords of Justice—from Kyurem’s icy clutches!

But Kyurem’s rampage isn’t over, and it’s drawing power from Reshiram and Zekrom, changing into Black Kyurem or White Kyurem to make its attacks even stronger! Why is Kyurem attacking Ash and his friends with such unrelenting fury? How will they be able to overcome this danger?

To protect its friends, to discover true power and genuine courage, and to preserve its bond with Ash and its companions, a hidden strength awakens within Keldeo...

==Plot==
{{Incomplete plot}}
As the movie begins, the narrator gives an introduction about the Pokémon world before it cuts to a scene of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}} in a battle with a {{g|Trainer}}'s {{p|Druddigon}}. He commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the Druddigon. As the Thunderbolt hits, the scene changes to a grass field where {{mov|Keldeo|Keldeo|15}} is training with {{p|Virizion}}. It detects Virizion in the grass and uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}. As the scene progresses, and after Virizion {{m|Sacred Sword|draws its sword}}, Keldeo attempts to do the same thing, but was unable to do so. It then uses its horn as the sword, and clashes its horn with Virizion's sword. Later, the scene changes to rocky terrain where Keldeo trains with {{p|Terrakion}}. When Keldeo kicked, it sends Terrakion flying, and Terrakion crashes into a boulder, which falls onto it. It manages to lift that boulder with its strength and Sacred Sword. The two eventually clash weapons. Finally, the scene changes to a dead forest as Keldeo runs alongside {{p|Cobalion}}. A storm envelops the area and burns a few trees down in front of Keldeo. Cobalion notices Keldeo's actions and persistence and tells Keldeo that its actions are reckless. Keldeo exclaims that it wants to battle {{mov|Kyurem|Kyurem|15}} and when asked when it will be ready, Cobalion doesn't answer; instead, it draws its sword, and spars with Keldeo.

The scene changes to a flowing stream, where the three Swords of Justice ask themselves whether Keldeo is ready to fight Kyurem. According to Cobalion, Keldeo hasn't fully learned the weight of the sword, and is not ready yet. Keldeo overhears them and tries to convince them, but to no avail. While the Swords of Justice sleep, Keldeo sneaks out and heads to [[Full Court]], where Kyurem resides. Eventually the three notice, and so they left to search for Keldeo. When Keldeo arrives, it challenges Kyurem to battle, which the Boundary Pokémon accepts. When the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}} arrive, the two are already in battle. During the fight, Kyurem breaks off Keldeo's horn with {{m|Shadow Claw}}, causing the Colt Pokémon to become paralyzed with fear. Terrakion attempts to stop the fight to save Keldeo, but Cobalion tells it not to interfere. This aggravates Kyurem, who shifts into White Kyurem and {{status|Freeze|freezes}} the trio, to prevent further interference. Noticing its friends frozen, Keldeo is overcome with fear and flees from the battle. Kyurem, furious, angrily declares that their battle is not yet over....

Meanwhile, Ash and {{ashfr}} are on their journey, boarding a train that leads to a city. {{AP|Oshawott}}, Pikachu, and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} are playing in the train car, later joined by {{AP|Scraggy}}. The train stops at [[Windy Station]]. Cilan notices a stall selling {{p|Darumaka}} lunch boxes and gets some for the group, along with water bottles and {{b|Oran}} Berry Pops. Ash had to carry the lunch boxes, yet he trips over Scraggy, sending the boxes flying. Fortunately, the trio's Pokémon and {{an|Iris}} manage to catch the lunch boxes. As they all board, they accidentally left Scraggy in the station just as the train leaves, and notice he was trying to run for it. Ash urges him to jump on, but the Shedding Pokémon couldn't muster the strength to do so, so Ash commands {{AP|Snivy}} to fetch him with {{m|Vine Whip}}. She manages to catch him and bring him in, but suddenly, a Pokémon slips on the mountain, landing on top of the train. Pikachu notices, and tells the rest to follow him. It was Keldeo, injured from its previous battle. As Ash and his friends find it, it warns them about Kyurem. Suddenly, Kyurem leaps onto the train and attacks the group, and soon was forced to jump off the train when the train enters a tunnel. Later on, they move to a cargo area of the train, where Iris tells the group about the legend of Kyurem, which she learned from the [[Village of Dragons]]' [[Elder]].

The train arrives at [[Roshan City]] and the group visit the Pokémon Center there so Keldeo can be treated. [[Nurse Joy]] identifies the Colt Pokémon to the group, and tells them the {{DL|Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon|Generation V|legend}} of the [[Swords of Justice]]. She mentions that according to this legend, the three arrived at a forest plagued by flames from a war between human factions. Terrakion shaped an escape route into the earth, Virizion used its speed to shield the fleeing Pokémon, and Cobalion escorted the Pokémon to safety. Within the ashes of the now burned-down forest, they found a lone Pokémon—Keldeo—that they took in as their own. Keldeo is training to be a Sword of Justice.

Later, when Keldeo has been healed (except for its horn), it walks outside the Pokémon Center with Ash and his friends. Iris expresses relief on Keldeo's recovery. Ash and his friends introduce themselves and Ash asks Keldeo what happened. While Kanata and Misaki battle, Keldeo tells them what it did before it met them. It also reveals that in order to become a Sword of Justice, one has to defeat Kyurem. After telling them how it ran away, Keldeo douses its head under a pipe. Keldeo speculates that Kyurem is probably furious, and Ash realizes that that's why Kyurem attacked them. Ash questions it, asking it if it's scared. He says that Keldeo shouldn't be scared just because it lost, which angers Keldeo. It vows to rescue the Swords of Justice right then. Ash and his friends agree and promise to go with Keldeo. First, they eat from the Darumaka lunch boxes. Ash and Keldeo eat quickly and simultaneously choke.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* This is the fourth consecutive film in which {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not encounter {{TRT}}. It is also the first movie in which [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} do not have speaking roles, only making brief cameo appearances in the introduction, credits and small scenes during the actual story.
* Despite being released during ''Best Wishes! Season 2'', this film does not feature any pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon other than {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}} outside of the "Pokémon World" intro scene.
** Despite this, the cameo of {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}} in the intro marks the appearance of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the anime.
* This movie marks the only animated appearance of a {{p|Deerling}} in its Autumn Form, which cameos during [[Nurse Joy]]'s explanation of the Swords of Justice Legend.
* This movie features a total of five {{pkmn2|talking}} [[Legendary Pokémon]], more than any previous movie.
* In Australia and New Zealand, this film received a theatrical release and special screenings were held at selected Hoyts Cinemas for two consecutive weekends; February 16 and 17, February 23 and 24.

===Errors===
* Kyurem was able to freeze the three Swords of Justice with {{m|Ice Burn}}, and Keldeo with {{m|Freeze Shock}}, while in games these moves cause {{status|burn}} and {{status|paralysis}}, respectively.

===Dub edits===
[[File:Movie15Title.png|thumb|300px|right|Opening title montage]]
* In the Japanese version, during the opening title the number 15 is created using snapshots from the previous fourteen movies, which is omitted in the dub.
* Cartoon Network and YTV's airing of this film uses a shorter cut provided by TPCi. A number of scenes are either excluded or rearranged in order to reduce the film's running time.
** The title card sequence is moved to immediately after the World of Pokémon segment, while the scenes of Keldeo training and battling Kyurem for the first time - which are before the title card in the original cut - are moved to after it.
** The battle between {{un|Kanata}} and [[Misaki]] is mostly cut out, leaving only a shot of them in the background.
** All scenes from the ending credits are removed, leaving absent events such as the blimp being returned to the museum. The edited credit roll simply plays the credits over a black background and uses a brief instrumental song.

==Blurb==

As Serena trains with her mother to become a Rhyhorn racer—with little success or enthusiasm—Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie are in Lumiose City, racing to Professor Sycamore’s Pokémon Lab to get help for Froakie, who took a lot of damage during the battle with Team Rocket. The professor welcomes them and puts Froakie under the care of his assistant, Sophie, where he’s sure it will recover in no time. He explains to Ash and the others that Froakie is an unusual case—though it’s a Pokémon meant for new Trainers, it doesn’t always listen to them, and it’s been returned to the lab more than once. This shocks Ash, who admires the fearless Froakie for the way it saved Pikachu.

Sycamore also talks about his research on Pokémon Evolution, including a newly discovered phenomenon known as Mega Evolution, where even fully evolved Pokémon (like the friendly Garchomp that lives at the lab) can evolve again—and then return to their previous form. The science-minded Clemont is very intrigued…and so are Jessie, James, and Meowth, eavesdropping as usual. They decide to catch Garchomp and figure out how to make it Mega Evolve—but when they spring out of hiding and clamp a collar around Garchomp’s neck, it goes into a rampage, blasting them off immediately and crashing through the city until it ends up at the very top of Prism Tower.

Ash goes after it, determined to get the collar off. With the help of one of Clemont’s brilliant inventions, he gets into the tower through a back entrance and starts climbing, with Pikachu and Froakie on his shoulders. There’s a huge crowd at the base of the tower watching Ash’s courageous rescue—and a news crew broadcasting the whole thing on TV, where Serena and her mother are watching.

Struggling with its collar, Garchomp nearly steps off the edge of the tower, but Froakie acts fast and glues its feet to the building with some sticky Frubbles so it won’t fall. With Garchomp secured in place, Ash finally manages to get close to it, and a handy Iron Tail from Pikachu slices through the collar. The weary Garchomp is finally free!

Professor Sycamore thanks Ash for his bravery and gives him a new Pokédex for his journey. And it seems Ash will have a new friend to travel with, because as he turns to leave, Froakie blocks the way and presents Ash with its own Poké Ball. So, with Froakie on hand as his first Pokémon from the new region, Ash sets off on his journey in Kalos!

==Plot==
The scene opens to {{an|Serena}} riding a {{p|Rhyhorn}} with much difficulty. Her [[Grace (Kalos)|mother]] tells her that she's competed in Rhyhorn races everywhere and that she can do it as well. She also tells her to keep it up and to "be one with Rhyhorn." Serena is chucked off of Rhyhorn afterwards, and exclaims out loud that she hates the training.

The scene continues off from [[XY001|before]] when {{AP|Froakie}} is rushed to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab after a battle with Team Rocket. Ash is telling Froakie to hang in there, while {{an|Clemont}} is falling behind on the way. He assures them that he'll catch up to them momentarily. {{an|Bonnie}} remarks on how he is slow. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} are in a tree regarding how humiliating it was losing. They see Ash and Bonnie running toward the Pokémon lab. They discuss stealing the Pokémon in the lab when {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops out and cause them to fall out of the tree. Ash and Bonnie enter the lab looking for Professor Sycamore. They call out to him, and he comes out yawning. He sees that the Froakie is injured and goes to help. He calls [[Sophie]], his assistant, to help Froakie. Ash asks if Froakie's Trainer is on the way, but the Trainer said he is giving him up. Clemont walks in exhausted, and Bonnie criticizes him for being slow. Froakie is being healed in a pod while Ash and friends watch. Sycamore assures there is nothing to worry about as Sophie is best at her job. Sycamore introduces himself, as do Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie. Ash says he just got in the [[Kalos]] region from [[Pallet Town]] and is on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Sycamore thanks Ash for saving Froakie, but Ash says that he saved them. Ash asks why Froakie's trainer gave him up. Sycamore explains that he [[Obedience|refuses to listen]] to commands given in battle and that trainers from before returned him for doing so; Froakie has also been known to run away and return himself to the lab. Suddenly, a {{p|Garchomp}} appears to which she catches Ash's attention. Garchomp has a good personality as she cares about Froakie's health. Sycamore says she can thank the people who saved Froakie. Ash walks up to Garchomp to pet her and assures her that Froakie will be fine. Bonnie wants to pet Garchomp too, to which she does. Clemont brings up the subject on Pokémon evolution and that there are more Pokémon living in the lab. They go to see them, while Ash stays with Froakie. Ash walks up to Froakie and thanks him for saving them and that he's a great Pokémon.

The scene cuts to the garden where all of the Pokémon that live in Sycamore's lab are playing. Ash runs out to the garden. Clemont asks how Froakie is feeling and Ash replies that he's doing great. Bonnie remarks how amazing it is seeing all the Pokémon she hasn't seen before. Ash asks what type of Pokémon evolution Sycamore is talking about. He says that they have an additional stage, and that he is researching it. He's had many reports that different kinds of Pokémon that can evolve in a way called [[Mega Evolution]]. He says that it's still a mystery to how it works, but he believes that a [[Friendship|strong bond]] and a special stone plays the role in Mega Evolution and that it returns to its previous form shortly after evolving. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are eavesdropping and are ready to snatch more Pokémon. They come in disguised as researchers to research Mega Evolution, to which surprises Sophie. Froakie wakes up from his rest and notices Team Rocket. Garchomp and [[Cosette|another]] assistant walk in as well, as she will check with Sycamore. Team Rocket start whispering their plan, when Garchomp suspects something bad about them, as does Froakie. Meowth remembers that it is the same Froakie that blasted them off from before, so James says he shall feel the wrath of research. Jessie pushes Sophie back while James tosses it to Froakie, but Garchomp steps in, only to be latched to the collar. Garchomp's eyes start turning blue. Team Rocket aren't concerned; although she was not their target, she can mega-evolve. James begins to take the plan into action and tells Garchomp to come along. Garchomp starts struggling from the effects of the collar, when Froakie tries to jump in and get it off, but to no avail. Garchomp starts screaming in agony loud enough to alert Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, and Sycamore to check out what's happening. Garchomp starts unleashing a {{m|Hyper Beam}} and starts to wreck everything around the lobby. Team Rocket's plan is starting to backfire but they try anything they can. Ash and co. reach the lobby to find Garchomp struggling. Sycamore asks who they are, and Team Rocket introduce themselves. They are surprised that it's them again. Garchomp unleashes another Hyper Beam that sends Team Rocket blasting off. She unleashes another Hyper Beam at everyone in the lobby. Clemont notices the collar on her neck that is causing her strange behavior. Garchomp jumps out of the building and takes off in the city. Ash decides to go help Garchomp out, so does Froakie, Clemont, and Bonnie.

Garchomp is still firing random Hyper Beams, showing no signs that she's going to calm down. [[Officer Jenny]] is evacuating the area, and a news crew is filming Garchomp in a helicopter as she flies towards [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. After landing, she fires a Hyper Beam at the news helicopter, barely missing. Serena's mother, watching TV, tells Serena to watch TV as something unbelievable is happening, which only results in a retort from the angry Serena, who has plasters on her face from being thrown off Rhyhorn. She soon realises what exactly is happening when she sees the TV and is informed that it's real, not a movie as she previously believed.

Back in Lumiose City, Ash decides to go up on Prism Tower to get the collar off Garchomp's neck, knowing that she's in severe danger if she makes a misstep and falls off the tower. Although knowing that Ash will put himself in danger if he tries to approach Garchomp, Clemont agrees to help him get into the building by using the "{{p|Aipom}} arm" on his backpack. Ash is impressed by this invention. Ash, Pikachu and Froakie get in, but a stray Hyper Beam blocks the entrance, meaning Clemont and Bonnie are unable to help. Clemont tells Ash not to worry about him and Bonnie. Professor Sycamore arrives on the scene, apologising to Officer Jenny about the trouble Garchomp is causing, and asks where she is. Just then, someone notices a kid on the building, which Professor Sycamore immediately recognises as Ash, realising the serious danger he's in. Ash approaches Garchomp and tries to talk to her, but she fires a Hyper Beam at them. Clemont and Bonnie see the resulting explosion and start to worry about Ash's safety.

Ash continues to try to calm Garchomp down, as the news crew notices him on Prism Tower. Serena's mother wonders if the boy she's seeing on the screen is Garchomp's trainer, whilst Serena watches silently in amazement. Garchomp flies off towards the top of the tower, with Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Froakie following her on a ladder. Seeing this and impressed at Ash's bravery, Clemont and Bonnie decide to go up themselves, getting enough of the rubble out of the way to be able to get into the tower. Although Bonnie struggles to get over the rubble, Clemont helps her up. As Garchomp continues to fire Hyper Beams, Ash arrives, telling her that he's here to help. The news crew's reporter is amazed that he has climbed up to the top. As Garchomp continues to fire Hyper Beams, Pikachu prepares to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Ash stops him, saying he doesn't want Pikachu to attack Garchomp, knowing that she can't help her behaviour. An exhausted Clemont emerges from inside the tower, with Bonnie telling him to pull himself together then informing him that Ash is on top of the tower. As Garchomp continues to fire Hyper Beams, Ash talks to her trying to calm her down, saying he knows it hurts and she's in a lot of pain. Garchomp, starting to come to her senses, screams in pain then walks backwards as she tries to get the collar off, getting dangerously close to the edge. Froakie throws Frubbles at her feet, preventing her from falling off the tower, and after one last Hyper Beam, Pikachu is able to destroy the collar with {{m|Iron Tail}}.

As Ash comforts Garchomp, the floor collapses under Pikachu's feet due to the reduced structural integrity, sending him hurtling down from the top of the tower. In a desperate attempt to save his best friend, Ash leaps off the tower after him, to the horror of everyone watching. Just as Ash has caught Pikachu, a fireball intercepts the two and breaks their fall. Ash immediately realizes that it's the Pokémon they saw at the airport. After a safe landing, it leaps away. Professor Sycamore, Clemont and Bonnie are relieved that Ash and Pikachu landed safely. After telling Sycamore that Garchomp is back to normal and being informed that Officer Jenny was about to get her and Froakie down, Ash asks about the Pokémon, after which point it reverts to its normal form; it's a {{p|Blaziken}}, or more specifically a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Blaziken]]. Ash and Pikachu thank Mega Blaziken for everything. Back home, Serena is relieved as well, after which point she recognizes Ash.

The next day, Professor Sycamore asks Ash, Clemont and Bonnie if they had a good sleep despite the mess Garchomp caused. Ash and Bonnie respond that they had a great sleep, whilst Clemont thanks him for everything. Ash's real journey is about to start, as Professor Sycamore gives Ash a Kalos [[Pokédex]]. As Ash prepares to go on his journey, Froakie throws Frubbles into his face to get his attention. He shoves a Poké Ball towards Ash, expressing his desire to go with him. As Ash holds the Poké Ball in his hand, Froakie presses the button and is caught. Ash does his normal pose for having caught a Pokémon, and shows the Poké Ball containing Froakie off to everyone around in celebration.

Meanwhile, Serena is giving Rhyhorn its breakfast. She tells it that she thinks something interesting is about to happen, and that it involves Ash.

[[File:Title Card XY Ash.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Holo Caster]]: {{p|Pikachu}}{{tt|*|Initial airing}}/{{p|Froakie}}{{tt|*|Subsequent airings}}
* In addition to {{pmin|the United States}}, this episode aired as a sneak peek on October 20, 2013 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|Italy}}, and {{pmin|France}}.
** Due to this fact, this episode is tied with the [[XY001|previous episode]] as the shortest gap between the airdates of the Japanese version and the English dub. However, both were aired as a sneak preview, not regular episodes, as the {{series|BW}} hadn't completed its run outside Japan yet.
* This episode marks the first appearance of [[Officer Jenny]] in her design for the [[Kalos]] region.
* The reporter and her cameraman from the MTV helicopter are the same ones that went to [[Greenfield]] in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.
* As of this episode, music from ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'' is used in the anime.

===Errors===
* During one scene, {{p|Weedle}}'s needle on its tail is completely light-brown.
* When {{Ash}} looks impressed after entering [[Professor Sycamore|Sycamore]]'s yard, the shadow on his hair is briefly colored black instead of dark cyan.
* During one scene when {{an|Bonnie}} was holding a {{p|Zigzagoon}}, Zigzagoon's hind legs are colored beige like its paws.
* When Ash is seen speaking to Froakie in the original English dub, he says "Anyone who wouldn't want a Pokémon like you isn't too smart". In doing so, Ash is visibly seen not speaking. This line was changed in a later dub.

===Dub edits===
* In the official debut of this episode's dub, a large portion of the original music is replaced with dub music. However, this was not the case in the preview airing, in which the episode used all of the original music.
* In the English dub, a change was made after the premiere. At the Professor's lab, Ash originally says to Froakie, "Anyone who wouldn't want a Pokémon like you isn't too smart." This was changed to "I don't get it. I'd want a Pokémon like you" in later airings.

==Blurb==

After a quick introduction to Serena, a budding young Trainer who lives with her mother in the Kalos region, we find Ash, Pikachu, and Alexa on a plane, preparing to land in Kalos. Saying that Ash is excited would be quite an understatement! The thought of meeting all the new Pokémon and having lots of exciting Gym battles has our hero beside himself with joyous anticipation.

But when Alexa discovers that her younger sister (who’s a Gym Leader) isn’t at her Gym in Santalune City, Ash wonders where he should try for his first badge. Alexa directs him to the Gym located in the Prism Tower, right there in Lumiose City! Ash and Pikachu arrive at the Gym, brimming with confidence and energy. But they are greeted by a robot who, upon discovering Ash hasn’t yet won a single badge in Kalos, promptly throws them out with a bang!

Outside, a Trainer named Clemont and his little sister, Bonnie, manage to catch Ash and Pikachu as they come flying out of the tower. After introductions all around, Ash challenges Clemont to a battle on the spot, and he agrees. With Pikachu up against Clemont’s new Pokémon Bunnelby, it proves to be a battle of power and strategy, until it is rudely interrupted by none other than Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket, who have followed Ash all the way to Kalos!

The villains proclaim that although Pikachu is their first Pokémon-catching priority, the wealth of prime Pokémon in the Kalos region is too great to ignore! As a new battle begins, Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet proves to be quite a powerful Pokémon, thanks to its Mirror Coat move, which returns special attacks to the sender with double the power! But a Froakie has been observing the events from the sidelines, and now rushes in to help. When it flings the protective Frubbles that cover its back—which isn’t technically a move, and therefore not affected by Wobbuffet’s Mirror Coat—Team Rocket is sent blasting off again, but Froakie is injured in the process. Ash knows they need to get Froakie to a Pokémon Center right away, but Bonnie suggests it would be faster to go to Professor Sycamore’s research lab.

So off they go: Ash, Pikachu, Clemont, Bonnie, and the injured Froakie, ushering in a new round of adventures and excitement!

==Plot==
The episode starts off with a {{p|Fletchling}} flying in from the window. A woman named [[Grace (Kalos)|Grace]] asks Fletchling to go wake up {{an|Serena}}, her daughter, because she has tried once already and Serena has not woken up. Fletchling flies upstairs into Serena's bedroom to find her sleeping. Fletchling approaches her and pecks her awake, and to {{p|Rhyhorn}}'s surprise, Serena becomes angry at Fletchling 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]], looking forward to a whole new adventure. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} gaze out the window to see they are closing in on Kalos. Alexa sees that he is very 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 Pokémon 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 is hurt. Ash still wonders what those Pokémon are, and Alexa says that they are {{p|Spritzee}} as she helps him up. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} 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 Pokémon, when suddenly {{p|Blaziken|a mysterious Pokémon}} appears on the top of the airport traffic control tower and jumps off and disappears. Ash asks Pikachu if he saw that and gets excited. Ash heads to the lobby and runs to Alexa's {{p|Helioptile}}. He asks where Alexa is and says she's at the phone. Ash says that he saw a really cool Pokémon. 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, and Ash thanks her for all her help recently as she welcomes him to the Kalos region. Ash sets off for the Lumiose Gym, as Alexa comments to herself on all the energy Ash has.

Ash runs off to the entrance to Lumiose City and jumps in excitement. He starts to explore the city and finds many new Pokémon 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 [[Clembot|a robotic voice]] asks him 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 him tight, which Pikachu responds to with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}! A [[Froakie (Pokémon)|Pokémon]] 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 him 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 and it's the first gym he's been to. The boy asks where he's from. Ash introduces himself and says he's from [[Pallet Town]] in the [[Kanto]] region.

The scene cuts to a battlefield. The boy introduces himself as {{an|Clemont}} and his sister as {{an|Bonnie}}. Ash explains that Pikachu was his first Pokémon and they both went on a journey looking for Gym battles. He asks them if they are on a journey too, but they are doing that in the future. Ash ask what kind of Pokémon Clemont has, and he shows him a recently caught Pokémon. Ash wants to battle his Pokémon since he can't have an official Gym battle, he wants to have his first battle in the Kalos region with him. He accepts his challenge.

Clemont sends out his [[Clemont's Bunnelby|Bunnelby]], while Ash sends out his Pikachu. Bonnie wishes luck to both of them. Clemont tells Bunnelby that this is their first battle and to relax and give it all it's got. Ash starts off with Pikachu using Thunderbolt. Bunnelby uses its ears to use the sand to block the attack. Clemont explains that Bunnelby can handle any electric type moves. Bunnelby uses {{m|Dig}}, while Ash tells Pikachu to take off to use his speed to confuse. However it doesn't work and Bunnelby digs up from the ground and lands the attack. Pikachu then uses {{m|Quick Attack}}, which is a direct hit. Bunnelby recovers from the attack with its ears and uses {{m|Double Slap}}. Ash realises that Bunnelby's ears are just like hands. Pikachu recovers and then uses {{m|Iron Tail}}. Bunnelby uses its ears to catch the Iron Tail. Clemont sees this to be a major advantage for him, until Ash points out that Bunnelby can no longer use its ears. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Electro Ball}}, which lands a hit. Pikachu uses Quick Attack and Clemont tells Bunnelby to wait.

Just then, the battle is interrupted when an electrical device falls in, which Pikachu narrowly dodges. Ash scolds the people who would do that. They ask who the people are and it was Team Rocket, who says their motto. The talking {{MTR}} catches Clemont's attention, but Ash stops him to explains that they are a group of bad people that try to take his Pikachu. They say that it's one of their goals and to also capture strong Pokémon in Kalos, and that forming a Pokémon army is unavoidable. Team Rocket start proceeding with their plan, but Ash and friends prevent them from doing so. Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, however, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} uses {{m|Mirror Coat}} to counter it back to Pikachu. Pikachu is hit and Ash runs over to catch him. Clemont says they should flee since "Mirror Coat reflects special attacks with double the power". However, Ash says he won't give up as long as his Pokémon doesn't give up. Pikachu uses Electro Ball while Clemont helps out and tells Bunnelby to use {{m|Mud Shot}}. Wobbuffet charges, evades the Mud Shot, and counters Electro Ball. Pikachu is about to be hit by his own Electro Ball until a Pokémon jumps out to save him and shields him from the attack. Clemont says that it's a Froakie and it's a [[Starter Pokémon]] you can receive in the Kalos region. Froakie is mad and proceeds to attack Team Rocket with his Frubbles despite his serious injuries. Wobbuffet uses Mirror Coat, but this time, it fails. Clemont explains that since the frubbles on Froakie isn't a move, it was ineffective. Ash and friends work together to stop Team Rocket. Bunnelby uses Dig to launch them into the sky. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Froakie uses {{m|Water Pulse}} to send them blasting off. Everyone thanks their Pokémon for stopping them. Then, Froakie collapses from his injuries after the battle. Ash runs up to him and wonders where the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] is. Bonnie says it would be much quicker to go to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab. Ash and friends start to rush toward the Professor's lab, with the injured Froakie in Ash's arms.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Holo Caster]]: {{p|Pikachu}}
** This Pokémon Holo Caster was moved to [[XY002]] on the first airing, due to XY001 and XY002 airing as a one-hour special.
* This is the 800th episode of the main anime if ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' are not counted as episodes.
* In addition to the United States, this episode aired as a sneak peek on October 19, 2013 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|Italy}}, and {{pmin|France}}. The sneak peek versions of these episodes also aired in {{pmin|Canada}} on December 7, 2013.
** Due to this fact, this episode is tied with the [[XY002|following episode]] as the shortest gap between the airdates of the Japanese version and the English dub. However, both were aired as a sneak preview, not regular episodes, as the {{series|BW}} hadn't completed its run outside Japan yet, so the record that ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'' held wasn't broken for regular episodes until ''[[BW137|Celebrating the Hero's Comet!]]''.
** For these airings, a placeholder opening was used, in which the show's title simply flew into view on a black background as the title card background music played.
* A new eyecatch debuts in the Japanese version, called "[[Who's That Pokémon?#Pokémon the Series: XY|Pokémon Quiz]]". The silhouette of Pokémon is revealed, then other four silhouettes appear alongside it: one being identical to the first silhouette, two being that of similar Pokémon species and one of them being that of {{TRT}}. The viewers have to remember where the correct silhouette was, which is revealed alongside the actual Pokémon species after the commercial break.
* This is the first time that an episode introducing a new [[core series]] region does not feature the regional [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]].
* As of this episode, music from ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. the Sword of Justice]]'' is used in the anime.
* Jessie breaks the [[Breaking the fourth wall|fourth wall]] when Ash says that he and Pikachu will always stand up to Team Rocket. She replies that all he will end up with is reruns, implying that the show will end due to them succeeding in capturing Pikachu.

===Errors===
* After [[Alexa]] finished her call with her sister, {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Helioptile}} go to her to tell her Ash saw an awesome Pokémon, and Alexa is missing her one earring.
* In one scene, the pocket on Alexa's jeans is missing.
* During the [[Team Rocket motto]] sequence:
** The space inside the "R" on Jessie's uniform is briefly colored red instead of white, and a few frames later, her undershirt is miscolored white. This error is present in every subsequent episode featuring the same motto animation.
** When he crosses arms, the fingers on James's left glove are colored like his skin, instead of black. This is corrected in subequent episodes.
* In the dub, when Ash asks Clemont where the Pokémon Center is, his mouth doesn't keep up with the words.

File:XY001 error 2.png|Alexa's missing jeans pocket
</gallery>

===Dub edits===
* For unknown reasons, the title card is lacking the characters's shadows and the ''To Be Continued'' text does not appear in the end of the episode in the {{pmin|the United States|American version}}. The {{pmin|the United Kingdom|UK version}}, and presumably all international versions, has the ''To Be Continued'' added in.
* In the official debut of this episode's dub, a large portion of the original music is replaced with dub music. However, this was not the case in the preview airing, in which the episode used all of the original music.
** In addition, several lines of dialogue were rerecorded and the [[Clembot]]'s voice was changed between the preview and official debut.

The Pokémon franchise first reached '''{{wp|Russia}}''' in December of 2000, when [[EP001|first episode]] was premiered. In Cyrillic script, Pokémon is written as '''Покемон''' and its plural is '''Покемоны''' ''pokemony''.

==Pokémon anime==
===First wave of Pokémon in Russia===
Pokémon was originally brought over to Russia by Sargona Ltd., which sold English-language cards from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Pokémon anime was first shown on ORT (now known as Channel One), which is the main television station in Russia.

[[File:Channel One Russia.png|thumb|left|ORT (Channel One) logo]]
The rights to the series were purchased in early 2000 and episodes began to appear by December of the same year. The Russian translation of the anime, which was conducted by the {{wp|Kiev|Kievan}} Pilot Studio, is based on the English dub. The Russian version of the anime retains all of the English character names to match the Pokémon TCG cards that had been already released.

While the translation quality of the Russian dub is considered to be high by most fans, a few changes had been made. For example, some locations had slightly different names, such as [[Dark City]] being retitled {{tt|Мрачный Город|Gloomy City}}. However, the lyrics to Pokémon Theme were later retranslated and used in the last episodes of ''[[Pokémon: Indigo League|Indigo League]]''. Any episodes of the anime which were banned in the United States were also [[Banned episodes|banned]] in Russia.

In an interview with Afisha magazine, the management director of children's programming on ORT, {{wp|Sergey Suponev}}, assured viewers in the harmlessness of Pokémon:

<blockquote>
«Our plan to broadcast this show can be called madness by someone. There was a lot of noise around this series all over the world. In fact, it is a pretty harmless thing. A sweet story about a boy who saves animals and teaches them to fight for justice. And there are bad guys who want to send them to the zoo for lots of money - that's all there is to be scandalous.»
</blockquote>

Within a day of the anime's television premiere, the management of public relations of ORT had invited journalists and children from an Otradnoye shelter to a Rolan cinema for a presentation of the series. The children received the presentation well, and then took a quiz organized by ORT.

[[File:Charizard chills rus.jpg‎|thumb|right|The last episode shown on ORT: ''Charizard Chills'']]
From December 18, 2000 to January 25, 2001, the anime was broadcasted by ORT. In February 5, 2001 they began to show the series again until August 2001. The last episode to air on ORT was ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''. 104 episodes of the [[original series]] were shown.

After this, the Pokémon anime was not aired in Russia for seven years. Many fans wrote to TV channels asking them to air the anime, but the only appearance of Pokémon on Russian TV was the airing of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M04|Pokémon 4Ever]]'' on ORT at 6:00 am.

Many rumors have circulated in speculation of why ORT stopped airing the anime, including:
* A Japanese channel may have shown an offensive video about Russia. This has been unproven.
* Some believe that ORT canceled the show because Sergey Suponev, the director of children's programming of ORT, died in a snowmobile accident, and the new director supposedly did not like Pokémon.
* Others believe that Russian newspapers and the {{wp|yellow press}} pressured the station to cancel the show. Some reported that Pokémon was causing [[EP038|epileptic seizures]], others wrote that Pokémon "brainwashes children" with {{wp|subliminal stimuli#Consumption and television|subliminal stimuli}}. ORT didn't want its reputation to fall, so they stopped airing Pokémon.
* ORT and the Japanese creators of the anime couldn't make an agreement on the price of licensing the anime.

===The return of Pokémon===
[[File:TNT logo.png|thumb|right|TNT logo]]
On September 20, 2008 {{wp|TNT (Russia)|TNT}}, another Russian channel, premiered the [[DP001|first]] episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. The tenth season was shown fully.

Pokémon has also recently aired on '''Jetix'''. Unlike TNT, both the tenth season and ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension|Battle Dimension]]'' have been aired fully.

On August 10, 2010, when Jetix-Russia was replaced by the {{wp|Disney Channel}}, the airing of Pokémon was finished for the second time. However, the Russian version of ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' had been aired on {{wp|Disney Channel (Ukraine)|Disney Channel Ukraine}}.

On February 3, 2012, Russian version of ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' started on TNT. By the end of 2012, twelfth and [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors|thirteenth]] seasons of the {{pkmn|anime}} were shown fully.

On November 6, 2012, simultanously with two last, the Russian version of the 14th season ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]'' started on TNT and has been aired fully.
As of 2013, there were no plans for airing the [[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies|two]] [[Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova|remaining]] seasons of the [[Best Wishes series|series]] on TNT or any other Russian channel, creating a hiatus in airings of the anime.
{{bulbanews|Pokémon anime, TCG return to Russia}}

The hiatus was broken on March 12, 2014, when {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}}, the Russian channel, which specializes on teenager-oriented {{wp|animated series}} signed a five-year contract with Pokémon Company International to broadcast the anime. The series started with airing ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]'' on May 1-11, 2014. On May 12, 2014, ''[[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]'' began to run on {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}}. This season marks the total localization of the anime. The season logo, the episode title card, the name of the [[Who's That Pokémon?|eyecatch]] Pokémon are all written in Russian.

The sixteenth season of the anime ''[[Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova]]'' premiered on July 18, 2014.

The seventeenth season of the anime, ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' premiered on Saturday, September 20, 2014.

===Pokémon movies===
Aside for the anime series, the movies were translated too, but they were dubbed by different studios. ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', ''[[M03|The Spell of Unown]]'', as well as their respective [[Pikachu Shorts]], also, there are dubs of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. All those movies were officially released on {{wp|DVD}} and {{wp|VHS}}. ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' was aired on Jetix, also, the Russian dub of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' was revealed to be on Polish DVD release of this movie.<ref>[http://www.timfilmstudio.com.pl/katalog-produktow/produkt,2755,pokemon-zoroark-mistrz-iluzji.html Katalog produktów - Film studio]</ref> {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}} got the airing license for movies connected to the [[Best Wishes series]].

Some episodic roles are voiced by Alexei Kostrichkin (Алексей Костричкин), Natalya Kaznacheeva (Наталья Казначеева), Daniil Eldarov (Даниил Эльдаров), Alexander Voronov (Александр Воронов) and Alexander Gavrilin (Александр Гаврилин).

==Pokémon games==
At first, [[Nintendo]] handheld consoles were not very popular in Russia and Pokémon games could be rarely found in shops. The games were distributed by "Noviy Disc", Nintendo's official distributor between 2006 and 2011, and usually games became available with great delay after the European release and at a high cost, but the situation changed when Nintendo opened its office in Russia: They stopped working with "Noviy Disk", took a new distributor called "OCS" and especially opened their owned online store. Now 3DS games are available for sale at least on their official store '''[https://mir.nintendo.ru/ Mir Nintendo]'''. {{g|X and Y}} were the first Pokémon games in Russia released in the same time than the rest of the world thanks to this Nintendo online store. Pokémon video games are not localized in Russian, however, there have been few fan translations of the DS games circulating among Russian fans.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
{{bulbanews|Pokémon Trading Card Game coming to Russia in October}}
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was released in Russia, and obtained "the same cult status" as it did in Britain.<ref name="guardian">[http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/nov/24/russia.nickpatonwalsh Barbie is banned from Russia, without love | World news | The Observer] (retrieved May 5, 2010)</ref> The Russian government attempted to ban or, in the least, censor the game in late 2001-2002, but it seems that this was not carried through.

The Trading Card Game was evidently released in English, as the government wanted the cards to be translated into Russian as part of the censorship.

When the anime stopped airing, the Pokémon Trading Cards stopped releasing as well.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game returned to Russia when they were distributed along with toys in {{wp|Happy Meal|Happy Meals}} in Russian {{wp|McDonald's}} in January 2012.

The [[XY (TCG)|Pokémon Trading Card Game: XY]] goes on sale in Russia on October 6, 2014. It will be the first Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion in Russia since the original {{TCG|Base Set}}.

==[[Pokémon merchandise]]==
There is a lot of Pokémon merchandise, which used to be especially popular during the airing of the anime on ORT. Toys, {{wp|Playing card|playing cards}} (not Trading Card Game ones), official magazines, {{wp|pogs}}, {{pkmn|clothing|clothes}}, and other merchandise found a quick sale. In 2001, {{wp|PepsiCo}} had released its drinks with {{wp|Stereoscopy|stereoscopic}} screenshots of the anime placed on the bottles' caps — these caps are highly valued as collectibles among Russian fans. ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'' and the ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook 2]]'' by [[Maria Barbo]] were translated and released under the name "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion|Справочник чемпиона покемонов spravochnik chempiona pokemonov}}" and "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion II|Справочник чемпиона покемонов II spravochnik chempiona pokemonov dva}}" respectively.

==Trivia==
*Some episodes dubbed by Pilot Studio were based on the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} version instead of the English dub. This is why [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]] are called "Alabastia" and "Vertania". Also, there was a dub error in [[EP003]] where Polish words can be heard.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuP444AYK5A Third Episode in Russian] (retrieved September 16, 2014)</ref>
*Anastasiya Fomicheva, the actress who voiced {{an|Dawn}}, is registered at the Russian Pokémon League.<ref>http://pokeliga.com/index.phtml?comments=518 (retrieved May 5, 2010)</ref>
*Pilot Studio also dubbed the Pokémon anime in {{wp|Ukrainian language|Ukrainian}} with the same actors.
*In non-English material in Russia, English names are used for Pokémon and characters, but transliterated into Cyrillic characters (as is the case with the Pokémon logo, above).
