With Giovanni’s approval, they set off as well.The first new Pokémon our heroes come across is a hungry Dedenne in a tree, who struggles with a large berry before dropping it to the ground. After it hits Bonnie on the head, she decides she just has to have Dedenne, and asks Clemont to catch it for her. Ash agrees to help catch it too, but an ornery Fletchling suddenly swoops down, steals the berry, and eats it. Crying, Dedenne runs away, but Ash decides Fletchling would be a great addition to his team!Froakie unexpectedly springs into action on its own in an attempt to battle Fletchling, while Clemont produces his “Flying-type Pokémon Attractor Machine” in an attempt to lure it out of the sky. But without a plan, Froakie is unsuccessful, while Clemont’s machine has no effect on Flying types. It does, however, succeed in attracting a huge swarm of angry Beedrill!Meanwhile, catching Kalos Pokémon seems to be in the air, as elsewhere James manages to catch an Inkay that’s been following Team Rocket to steal their food…Deciding on a concrete strategy, Ash makes use of Froakie’s amazing jumping skills, turning an environment full of cliffs and ledges into an enormous battlefield. A more even battle ensues between Fletchling and Froakie, and after a couple of attempts, Ash has his second Kalos Pokémon—Fletchling!Serena has also arrived at the Sycamore Pokémon Lab.
