Alexa appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]], working for a company as a journalist from [[Lumiose City]]. Her sister is the [[Santalune City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Viola]].

Alexa is first met in Santalune City, where she prevents the player from going to {{rt|4|Kalos}} until her sister, [[Viola]], is defeated. After Viola is defeated, she will let the player pass and also give them an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}.

:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Vernal Avenue}}''': ''"Vernal Avenue is on the south of Lumiose City, and it's packed with specialty shops. In {{DL|Lumiose City|Boutique Couture}}, for example, you can get items that are unique to Lumiose City. {{DL|Lumiose City|Firseur Furfrou}} is the only place that most people will trust with grooming their [[Furfrou]]. There's also the {{DL|Lumiose City|Herboriste}} and a ton of little cafés."''

Alexa first appeared in ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', with her {{p|Gogoat}} and {{p|Helioptile}}.

When Helioptile bumped into {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} on [[Harvest Island]], Ash used his {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle it, but Helioptile fired an electric move, then Alexa arrived with Gogoat, and mentioned that the Helioptile is hers. Since both of Alexa's Pokémon were not native to the region at the time, Ash's Pokédex could not recognize them. Alexa then introduced herself, and mentioned that she came all the way from the [[Kalos]] region to write an article about the [[Grand Harvest Festival]], which was the tradition of Harvest Island.

In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', she went to an {{OBP|Unnamed island|BW135|island}} with the group which was known to have some treasure. After arrival, she recorded some footage of a sunken ship there and then passed through a gate that took her to some wild Pokémon that evolved from some stones. Continuing onward with a group of three {{p|Eevee}}, she found a secret passageway which led her to the treasure chest. After Alexa found the treasure and got the Eevee to evolve, the Pokémon began to respect her and the group. Afterwards, she left with the group and waved her farewells to the Pokémon.

===''XY'' series===

In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Alexa and Ash arrived in [[Kalos]] by plane. When Ash wanted to challenge her sister, Alexa explained that her gym isn't in [[Lumiose City]], but rather [[Santalune City]] instead. She then made a call off-screen to her sister, but revealed to Ash that she would be gone for a while. After showing Ash a map of Lumiose City, she parted ways with Ash and wished him good luck.

Alexa reappeared in ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'' to watch Ash's battle against Viola, and she appeared again in ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'' to help Ash and his Pokémon in training.

Alexa reappeared in ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]''.

Since her debut, Alexa is shown to be rather forgetful, a trait her Gogoat seems to have gotten used to. She carries out her journalism work with pleasure as well as earnestness, often working late into the night. In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' she became so engrossed in her work that she failed to realize the crisis Team Rocket was causing. Despite this, she is clever and a competent battler as shown in ''[[BW137|Celebrating the Hero's Comet!]]''. She chose to delete her data of the deserted island in ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'' in respect for the Pokémon who had been guarding its secret.

She is very cheerful and is often smiling and enthusiastic, a characteristic she shares with Ash with whom she gets along very well. She calmed the young Trainer down after his confrontation with [[Rodney]] and comforted him after saying farewell to Iris and Cilan. In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' she was notably disappointed when Ash got upset about not being able to battle her sister. She shows more focus or even aggression in ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', especially when battling Ash. She was surprised that {{an|Serena}} was the person to inspire Ash in ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', indicating that she wanted to be the one to inspire him.

At Lumiose City, Alexa finishes up her report on the Vaniville Town incident. She wonders why the news has only been reporting the incident as a "strange explosion" and completely ignored the Legendary Pokémon. She gets a call from Viola, who had been injured, much to Alexa's surprise. Viola informs Alexa that Team Flare is behind the incidents all over Kalos and reveals that Y and her friends are on their way to Lumiose City. Alexa then goes to Prism Tower to have an interview with [[Professor Sycamore]] concerning the Vaniville Town incident. By the time she arrives, the Lumiose Press editor-in-chief has already beaten Alexa to the interview and finished it as well. After Sycamore leaves, Alexa hands her notes of the Vaniville Town incident to the editor-in-chief, who promptly burns them. The editor-in-chief then attacks Alexa with a {{p|Pangoro}}, but she is saved at the last minute by {{adv|X}}. The editor-in-chief continues battling X and even takes Alexa's {{p|Helioptile|Eri-chan}} hostage. Y and the others take Alexa down to safety, confident that X will get Eri-chan back. Once they get to the ground floor, Alexa realizes that the media is working for a great evil that is deliberately keeping information about the Legendary Pokémon from the public.

X eventually manages to defeat the editor-in-chief's Pokémon and successfully retrieves Eri-chan for Alexa. Alexa thanks the kids for their help and gives them a Lumiose journal from three years ago under the hope that it will somehow help the kids on their journey. She says her goodbyes and takes a cab to {{rt|4|Kalos}} so that she can meet up with Viola again in Santalune City.

|nick=Eri-chan

|desc={{p|Helioptile|Eri-chan}} (Japanese: '''エリちゃん''' ''Eri-chan'') is Alexa's only known Pokémon. It was first seen with its Trainer in Vaniville Town to interview {{adv|Y}}. When Y angrily flew towards them, she startled Eri-chan in the process. At Lumiose City, Eri-chan went to Prism Tower with its Trainer so that Alexa could do an interview with [[Professor Sycamore]]. When the editor-in-chief beats them there, he reveals himself as a Team Flare member and kidnaps Eri-chan. When {{adv|X}} defeats the editor-in-chief's {{p|Pangoro}}, it falls out a window, letting in sunlight that Eri-chan uses to recharge itself enough to shock the editor-in-chief and knock him unconscious.

None of Helioptile's moves are known.}}
