XY003: Difference between revisions

{{an|Serena}}, having [[XY002|seen Ash on television and recognized him]], decides to leave for {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s research laboratory in [[Lumiose City]] to receive her [[starter Pokémon]]. {{ka|Grace|Her mother}} wishes her luck and reminds Serena to keep practicing her {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing. Meanwhile, {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Clemont}} lead {{Ash}} to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] so he can register for the [[Kalos]] [[Pokémon League]]. On the way, Clemont expresses his awe of Ash's bravery when helping out {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{p|Garchomp}} the previous day. They reach the Center where Ash registers using his [[Pokédex]] and he also receives a complementary [[Badge]] Case. Afterwards, Ash calls {{an|Professor Oak}} to show off his newly {{pkmn2|caught}} {{AP|Froakie}}. The chat comes to an abrupt end when Oak’s troublesome {{TP|Professor Oak|Rotom}} zaps him. {{TRT}}, who is having lunch elsewhere in [[Lumiose City]], contact {{an|Giovanni}} and inform him they are in Kalos with the intention of stealing rare and valuable Pokémon. Giovanni approves the mission, however while talking the three don't notice an {{p|Inkay}} stealing and eating [[James]]'s croissant.

Later, as Ash is about to depart for [[Santalune City]], Clemont and Bonnie ask Ash if they may accompany him on his journey, to which he happily accepts. Following on Clemont’s directions, the newly formed traveling trio decide to take the fastest road to Santalune – [[Kalos Route 4|Route 4]]. As they walk through a forest, a [[berry]] drops from the treetops, followed by a {{p|Dedenne}}. Ash uses his Pokédex to learn more about it. The Dedenne and {{AP|Pikachu}} look at each other, communicating by transmitting electricity from their cheek pouches. Bonnie, overjoyed by Dedenne's charm and cuteness, begs Clemont to let her keep it, to which he agrees. Just before Bonnie gives the fallen berry back to Dedenne, a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Fletchling}} swoops down from the sky, snatches the berry from Bonnie's hand, and eats it. Dedenne cries and runs away, saddening Bonnie, because Clemont speculates that Dedenne might not return because its food was stolen.
