Plot

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

The chapter starts with Lysandre introducing himself to Y, Trevor, Shauna, and Tierno. He then asks to have Trevor's Holo Caster so that he can repair it for him, Y then sees her favourite movie playing on TV and watches it with Croaky. Trevor wants to ask Lysandre if he was at Vaniville Town when Xerneas and Yveltal attacked the town, because a shadow in one of Trevor's photos looks like him. However, Trevor is too scared and can't get the words out. Then, Lysandre tells Trevor that he saw him looking at pictures and that he would like to see them. Trevor tries to escape with Shauna and Tierno and tries to get Y's attention, but Trevor, Shauna, and Tierno are surrounded by Lysandre's Pyroar, Gyarados, and Mienfoo.

Meanwhile at Sycamore's Lab, X continues to battle Professor Sycamore, Professor Sycamore's Charmander is badly beating X's Chespin due to X not giving commands. Charmander has nearly fainted Chespin and Professor Sycamore tells X that if Chespin loses, it's all his fault. Chespin then gets back up to continue battling and dodges Charmander's Ember. X gets so heated up, that he commands Chespin to go behind Charmander and use Rollout. However Chespin faints X and calls him Marisso. This surprises Sycamore and is even more surprised after X asks for the Charmander, however X senses that Y and the others are in danger.

Back at Lysandre Café, Y notices that Trevor and the others are surrounded, but the Pokémon Champion Diantha sees them in danger and helps them. Trevor then runs with the others to the boys bathroom while Diantha Mega Evolves her Gardevoir and tells Lysandre that if he had more time, he would of attacked the children. After Lysandre talks about Diantha's first movie role, Xerosic contacts him to say he found Xerneas as a tree and he needs to come right now. Lysandre leaves the cafe, say's that he fixed the Holo Caster and Y comes out of the bathroom to get the Holo Caster and to talk to Diantha, however Diacntha's fans find her thanks to Y's shouting so they decide to leave from the back door. After leaving the cafe Trevor faints because of him seeing Mega Gardevoir, meanwhile Lysandre tells his Gyarados that it can Mega Evolve to make it feel better. The group then finds X who's riding on a Gogoat.
