As they continue to the festival site, an excited {{an|Iris}} states that such festivals used to occur in the [[Village of Dragons]]. Out of blue, they run into a peculiar Pokémon; a {{p|Helioptile}}. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] but it reveals no data. This prompts {{an|Cilan}} to suggest that the Pokémon must not live in either [[Kanto]] or [[Unova]]. An excited Ash decides he will catch it, and asks {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Suddenly, a woman rushes over and asks Ash to stop, but it is too late, as Helioptile uses an {{type|Electric}} [[move]] on Ash and Pikachu. Helioptile climbs up onto the woman's shoulder and cowers away from the group. The woman asks Ash and Pikachu if they are okay, and proceeds to explain that the Helioptile is her Pokémon. She explains that she is from the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and that her Helioptile has a rather shy personality. A {{TP|Alexa|Gogoat}} also appears, which the woman confirms to be her Pokémon as well. The Pokédex fails to provide information for {{p|Gogoat}} as well. The woman introduces herself as {{an|Alexa}}, a journalist who frequently travels the {{pkmn|world}}. Noticing Ash's Pikachu, which she calls "special", she starts shooting a video of Ash and his friends as she does. Alexa decides to show them one of her magazines. She begins searching in the bag on the right side on Gogoat but the Mount Pokémon suggests to look on the left side instead, causing the journalist to feel embarrassed. Cilan opens up the magazine and the group marvels at the beautiful shots taken by Alexa. She explains that she prefers to take shots of Pokémon in their natural habitats which add to her photograph's beauty. | As they continue to the festival site, an excited {{an|Iris}} states that such festivals used to occur in the [[Village of Dragons]].

Upon Ash's inquiry, reveals that she has come from Kalos all the way to the [[Decolore Islands]] to write an article on the [[Grand Harvest Festival]]. Ash proceeds to explain that he and his friends know about the festival but Alexa explains that the Grand Harvest Festival has another backstory. She explains that the Harvest Island was once abundant with various types of berry trees and people and Pokémon used to enjoy eating the berries. However, the Pokémon grew greedy and wanted more than their fair share. Quarrels broke out, and all the berry trees withered away, till only one berry tree remained. The strongest Pokémon, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Beartic}} fought for the tree, but ultimately both of them were knocked out. However, a village child divided the last berry into two, and gave one portion each to Ursaring and Beartic, ending the fighting. The island returned to its former state, but now with better tasting berries. Alexa adds that in remembrance of the fierce battle between the two strongest Pokémon, the Grand Harvest Festival hosts a [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] which is now celebrated for fun sake.

As Cilan appreciates the "wonderful blend of the past and present", Ash reminisces about his [[EP194|participation in a similar competition long ago]] and decides to enter. | ||
Upon reaching the festival site, the organizer announces the prize: a [[Focus Band]] along with the bonus prize of various berries. Alexa shoots a video of Ash, Iris and Cilan as the latter two decide to participate as well. They are supposed to choose a Pokémon with whom to participate. {{AP|Oshawott}} volunteers to participate but after noticing a {{p|Golurk}}, he decides to quit and Ash chooses {{AP|Pignite}} instead. Meanwhile Iris decides that {{TP|Iris|Axew}} would not be fit to participate in such a competition and chooses {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} instead.

Since there is time before the Sumo Tournament, Alexa suggests Ash, Iris and Cilan to try out some of the island's berries. Ash goes to a stall and is about to pick his pie when he is knocked down by a boy called [[Rodney]] who takes Ash's pie instead. As the two begin quarreling, Iris and Cilan try to calm Ash down. The boy runs away with the pie, and Cilan, Iris and Alexa suggest Ash to let him go and try on some of the other delicacies. As they eat their pies, Ash claims his one to be good as well and Alexa decides to do some shooting. However, she learns that her device's battery is low and looks for the battery charger, once again on the wrong side, until her Gogoat points the right side. This prompts Iris to claim that Alexa is a little absent-minded and Cilan to claim that Gogoat is the perfect assistant for Alexa. Alexa finally finds the charger and asks for Helioptile's assistance. Helioptile uses an Electric-type move to fully charge the device. Cilan praises Helioptile and Ash tries to touch Helioptile, but the Generator Pokémon cowers away, causing Iris to chide Ash for scaring it. | Since there is time before the Sumo Tournament, Alexa suggests Ash, Iris and Cilan to try out some of the island's berries.
