Blurb

An amazing assembly of powerful Pokémon and Trainers—including the Kalos Gym Leaders and two Champions—have come to help our heroes stop Team Flare! This teamwork allows Ash and Alain to rescue Chespie from inside the Giant Rock, and it seems to be defeated...until it rises once again, under Lysandre’s control.

Things seem hopeless until Squishy persuades the other Core to join the fight. The two of them merge together to become the titanic Zygarde Complete, which puts a stop to Lysandre’s plan once and for all.

Finally, it’s time for Squishy and Bonnie to say their goodbyes—but they’ll always remember their unwavering friendship that helped save the world!

Plot

Everyone heads towards the Giant Rock using the Shuriken to know where to go in order to rescue Chespie as Mairin, Bonnie and Serena look on. It uses vines to attack but Pikachu and Charizard counter with Iron Tail and Flamethrower. More vines attack as Malva, Blaziken Mask and Alain order their Pokémon to use Flamethrower. Valerie and Olympia assist as Ash and Alain make their way through the vines but Valerie is soon captured but she insists they continue. Korrina and Lucario stop a vine from attacking Greninja but are also captured but insists they continue as Ramos and Gogoat also buy them time before being captured. Alain and Ash are captured by vines but Viola frees them with Vivillon using Solar Beam. Grant has Tyrunt attack the vines with Rock Tomb creating a wall but more vines attack Viola knocking her into Grant, capturing them. Ash and Alain climb up the wall as more vines attack but Wulfric has Abomasnow use Ice Shard on them to freeze the vines and orders them to hurry up as Abomasnow is knocked away. Their friends go ahead to clear a path with Malva has Houndoom use Dark Pulse, Professor Sycamore has Garchomp use Dragon Rage before being captured along with Malva in the vines. They tell Ash and Alain to keep going as Ash vows not to let them down. Watching with Serena and Bonnie, Mairin hopes that Chespie will be OK as Clemont has Chespin, Luxray and Bunnelby attack the vines with Pin Missile, Swift and Mud Shot helping to clear a path.

As Alain and Ash approach the centre, a vine comes up to attack but it is hit by Bullet Seed. Ash looks up surprised to see Team Rocket in the helicopter with Gourgeist having launched the attack.

Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png
The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode

Errors

  • When Serena, Bonnie and Mairin run closer to the Giant Rock, Serena's Pancham and Sylveon can be heard but their mouths don't move.
  • Shortly after Ash and Alain enter the Giant Rock, Alain isn't wearing his Mega Ring.
  • This episode states that all of the Zygarde Cores and Cells from across the world are required in order to achieve Complete Forme. However, in the movie Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, Squishy was able to assume Complete Forme without all of them, albeit temporarily.

Dub edits

  • When Lysandre first returns to take control of the Giant Rock, in the original version he states that the countdown to the destruction of the world continues and that he will destroy the world even if it costs him his own life. In the dub, the first portion of this line is removed completely, and the second portion is rewritten to have Lysandre say he will destroy the world even if he is stopped.
