As with the previous three series, the ''XY'' series began with only [[Ash Ketchum]], headed off to a new region with his {{AP|Pikachu}} while wearing a new set of clothes. His previous companions, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}, left the series. Joining him this time are {{an|Serena}}, a new Trainer who previously met Ash in her childhood; {{an|Clemont}}, an aspiring inventor and scientist who is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Lumiose Gym]]; and {{an|Bonnie}}, Clemont's younger sister.

[[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] returns to her roster. | As with the previous three series, the ''XY'' series began with only [[Ash Ketchum]], headed off to a new region with his {{AP|Pikachu}} while wearing a new set of clothes.
