{{an|Serena}} and her {{p|Fennekin}} are eating breakfast and once they finish, they head to [[Santalune City]] to find {{Ash}}.
{{an|Serena}} and her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} are eating breakfast, and when they are finished, they continue to [[Santalune City]] to try and find {{Ash}}. Meanwhile, Ash is sprinting through the streets of Santalune City, looking for the [[Santalune Gym]], with {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} trying to catch up. When Clemont trips and asks Ash where the Santalune Gym is, Ash replies unconcernedly that he has no clue where it might be located. At that moment, a woman named [[Viola]] takes a picture of Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} smiling at each other on the fountain. Viola then provides directions to the Gym and Ash runs off again, eager for his Gym battle. When the group arrives at the Gym, [[Alexa]]'s {{p|Helioptile}} happily runs to Ash and greets him, who is surprised to see Alexa there. Much to the group's surprise, Viola reappears and introduces herself as Alexa's sister, leading Ash to deduce that she is the [[Gym Leader]].


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.
Viola takes the group into the Gym and shows them the collection of photographs she has taken during her career. Bonnie, seizing her opportunity, begs Viola to take care of her brother, when a mortified Clemont drags her away with his Aipom arm. Meanwhile, Serena has just arrived in town, and she is excited about her reunion with Ash, eager to see the look on his face when he recognizes her. Ash's Gym battle with Viola begins and she sends out her {{p|Surskit}}, with Ash choosing Pikachu. Although Ash tries {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Electro Ball}}, Viola has effective counters to all of his moves, be it {{m|Protect|protecting}}, dodging, or responding with an attack of her own. During the battle, Alexa tells Clemont and Bonnie that defeating her sister is no easy task. Viola then commands Surskit to use {{m|Ice Beam}} on the battlefield. Surrounding Pikachu with a frozen battlefield, Surskit gives itself a significant advantage by using its skating abilities to move freely on the ice while its adversary has trouble even standing up. Although Pikachu manages to score a direct hit with Iron Tail, Surskit is too much to handle and Pikachu is taken out of the match. Ash chooses {{AP|Fletchling}} as his next Pokémon.


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.
At that moment, Serena arrives at the gym. Upon seeing Ash, she is so excited that she fails to notice that he is in the middle of a battle, but Alexa notices her and invites her to watch the battle with her, Clemont, and Bonnie. Ash's Fletchling leads off with {{m|Peck}}, which Surskit dodges, and then avoids another Ice Beam from Surskit. Viola's Pokémon then uses {{m|Sticky Web}} and, although Fletchling dodges it, the web sprays all over the ceiling and walls of the Gym. Finally, Fletchling manages to defeat Surskit with a {{m|Razor Wind}} attack. However, Viola sends out her {{p|Vivillon}} next. Just like with Surskit, Ash begins with Peck, but Vivillon uses {{m|Psychic}} and then {{m|Gust}} to send Fletchling into one of Surskit's Sticky Web attacks. Now trapped and unable to break free, Fletchling is unable to dodge Vivillon's {{m|Solar Beam}} and is defeated, making Viola the winner of the match.


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}}.  
Stung by his defeat, Ash requests a rematch when he is ready for it, to which Viola agrees, and he hurries his Pokémon to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Serena tries to say something to Ash as he leaves, but the latter is too concerned about his injured Pokémon to notice her. However, she notices that Ash left his backpack behind by accident and follows him with it. Back at the Gym, Viola shows Alexa the picture of Ash and Pikachu from before and remarks on their strong bond. Viola also mentions how she was unimpressed by Ash's battling style and that their bond wasn't evident in the way they battled that day. Alexa warns her not to underestimate Ash and that things might turn out very differently in their rematch.


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.
Meanwhile, Ash is still upset about his loss, remembering how he was completely overwhelmed by Viola's strategies. As he ponders how he might do things differently next time, 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. Serena asks Nurse Joy to look at Fennekin, whom she tells Ash and {{ashfr}} about receiving from [[Professor Sycamore]] not too long ago. As Nurse Joy examines Fennekin, Alexa arrives at the Pokémon Center and agrees to help Ash train for his rematch against Viola. On the battlefield at the Pokémon Center, Alexa summons her {{p|Noivern}}, who is also caable of using Gust. Although Pikachu and Fletchling try to stand up to Noivern's Gust, they are blown away, leading Ash to run forward and catch them before they can fall. He encourages them, and they do better the second time, but are still ultimately overpowered by the Gust. While Ash wonders how he is going to compensate for Viola's strategies, Serena walks up to him and offers him a handkerchief before asking if he remembers her.
 
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

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 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

Serena and her Fennekin are eating breakfast, and when they are finished, they continue to Santalune City to try and find Ash. Meanwhile, Ash is sprinting through the streets of Santalune City, looking for the Santalune Gym, with Clemont and Bonnie trying to catch up. When Clemont trips and asks Ash where the Santalune Gym is, Ash replies unconcernedly that he has no clue where it might be located. At that moment, a woman named Viola takes a picture of Ash and Pikachu smiling at each other on the fountain. Viola then provides directions to the Gym and Ash runs off again, eager for his Gym battle. When the group arrives at the Gym, Alexa's Helioptile happily runs to Ash and greets him, who is surprised to see Alexa there. Much to the group's surprise, Viola reappears and introduces herself as Alexa's sister, leading Ash to deduce that she is the Gym Leader.

Viola takes the group into the Gym and shows them the collection of photographs she has taken during her career. Bonnie, seizing her opportunity, begs Viola to take care of her brother, when a mortified Clemont drags her away with his Aipom arm. Meanwhile, Serena has just arrived in town, and she is excited about her reunion with Ash, eager to see the look on his face when he recognizes her. Ash's Gym battle with Viola begins and she sends out her Surskit, with Ash choosing Pikachu. Although Ash tries Quick Attack, Iron Tail, and Electro Ball, Viola has effective counters to all of his moves, be it protecting, dodging, or responding with an attack of her own. During the battle, Alexa tells Clemont and Bonnie that defeating her sister is no easy task. Viola then commands Surskit to use Ice Beam on the battlefield. Surrounding Pikachu with a frozen battlefield, Surskit gives itself a significant advantage by using its skating abilities to move freely on the ice while its adversary has trouble even standing up. Although Pikachu manages to score a direct hit with Iron Tail, Surskit is too much to handle and Pikachu is taken out of the match. Ash chooses Fletchling as his next Pokémon.

At that moment, Serena arrives at the gym. Upon seeing Ash, she is so excited that she fails to notice that he is in the middle of a battle, but Alexa notices her and invites her to watch the battle with her, Clemont, and Bonnie. Ash's Fletchling leads off with Peck, which Surskit dodges, and then avoids another Ice Beam from Surskit. Viola's Pokémon then uses Sticky Web and, although Fletchling dodges it, the web sprays all over the ceiling and walls of the Gym. Finally, Fletchling manages to defeat Surskit with a Razor Wind attack. However, Viola sends out her Vivillon next. Just like with Surskit, Ash begins with Peck, but Vivillon uses Psychic and then Gust to send Fletchling into one of Surskit's Sticky Web attacks. Now trapped and unable to break free, Fletchling is unable to dodge Vivillon's Solar Beam and is defeated, making Viola the winner of the match.

Stung by his defeat, Ash requests a rematch when he is ready for it, to which Viola agrees, and he hurries his Pokémon to the Pokémon Center. Serena tries to say something to Ash as he leaves, but the latter is too concerned about his injured Pokémon to notice her. However, she notices that Ash left his backpack behind by accident and follows him with it.
