After a quick introduction to Serena, a budding young Trainer who lives with her mother in the Kalos region, we find Ash, Pikachu, and Alexa on a plane, preparing to land in Kalos.

As Serena trains with her mother to become a Rhyhorn racer—with little success or enthusiasm—Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie are in Lumiose City, racing to Professor Sycamore's Pokémon Lab to get help for Froakie, who took a lot of damage during the battle with Team Rocket. The professor welcomes them and puts Froakie under the care of his assistant, Sophie, where he's sure it will recover in no time. He explains to Ash and the others that Froakie is an unusual case—though it's a Pokémon meant for new Trainers, it doesn't always listen to them, and it's been returned to the lab more than once. This shocks Ash, who admires the fearless Froakie for the way it saved Pikachu.

It seems Lyn and Bonnie have a lot in common: they’re both too young to be Trainers, but they love taking care of their older siblings’ Pokémon. They also carry identical bags, which leads to a mix-up: as they’re leaving the Pokémon Center, Lyn accidentally picks up Bonnie’s bag, and Bonnie takes Lyn’s. The girls don’t realize their mistake until they discover the wrong Pokémon inside: Lyn has ended up with Dedenne, and Bonnie is surprised to see a Pichu peering up at her!

They learn that every year, at the end of the harvest, Snorlax comes to clear out the roots from the local crops. This arrangement works out well for both sides: Snorlax gets to eat its fill of tasty roots, and the townspeople get their fields plowed in the process. Afterward, they throw a Harvest Festival to thank Snorlax for its help, and the Lord of Shabboneau Castle plays the Poké Flute—the only thing that can wake Snorlax up after a big meal. But this year, he’s refusing to attend, and no one knows why.

They then upload their finished videos to an online viewing site, and after viewers vote for their favorites, the top ten videos are announced. Serena decides she wants to make a Pokévision video with Fennekin, and Bonnie wants to make a video with Dedenne.

Trivia[]

Ash Vs

The VS. added to the XY series

  • This is the first time that a season of Pokémon's English dub has a sneak preview, ever since Pokémon: Advanced, which was three generations ago. This is also the very first time in the anime where the gap between an episode premiering in its normal original Japanese form, and arriving dubbed into English, occurs on the same week as the original Japanese premiere, therefore making it just two days between the original premiere and its dubbed English release.
  • This season was the first to include the VS. player overview images before the battle.
  • This is the second time in the Pokémon anime season that two of Ash's traveling companions that includes an older and younger sibling. The first time was with the Pokémon: Advanced with May and Max.
    • However, both of the siblings, Clemont and Bonnie, are based on their game counterparts. May was based on hers, but Max never had a direct game counterpart (he was indirectly based on the School Boy trainer class).
  • "An Undersea Place to Call Home!" was originally scheduled to be the 24th episode of this season. However, due to a ship sinking in Korea, which caused this episode to be postponed in Japan, it was repositioned as the second episode of the 18th dub season, Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest.
