As with the previous three series, the ''XY'' series began with only [[Ash Ketchum]], headed off to a new region with his {{AP|Pikachu}} while wearing a new set of clothes. His previous companions, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}, left the series. Joining him this time are {{an|Serena}}, a new Trainer who previously met Ash in her childhood; {{an|Clemont}}, an aspiring inventor and scientist who is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Lumiose Gym]]; and {{an|Bonnie}}, Clemont's younger sister. [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} continue to follow Ash and his friends through the Kalos region, and have gone back to their more traditional methods of capturing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and other Pokémon, although their appearances are less frequent, just like in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] returns to her roster. This series also features a series of [[side story episodes]] following the adventures of a Trainer named [[Alain]], who is working to find [[Mega Stone]]s and defeat all [[Mega Evolution]]s using his Mega {{p|Charizard}} X. | As with the previous three series, the ''XY'' series began with only [[Ash Ketchum]], headed off to a new region with his {{AP|Pikachu}} while wearing a new set of clothes.
