The game begins with the {{player}} waking up in their bedroom in [[Vaniville Town|their hometown]]. After being encouraged by their [[Grace (Kalos)|mother]] to talk to their neighbor — {{ga|Serena}}, if the player is male, or {{ga|Calem}}, if the player is female — the player learns that [[Professor Sycamore]] has a request for five kids: the player, their rival, [[Shauna]], [[Trevor]], and [[Tierno]].

In [[Aquacorde Town]], to fulfill this request, the player chooses a first partner Pokémon: {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, or {{p|Chespin}}. Shauna will then choose the Pokémon that is weak to the player's first partner Pokémon and Serena/Calem will take the Pokémon that is strong against the player's first partner Pokémon, in traditional [[rival]] fashion. Trevor presents the player with a [[Pokédex]]. After getting a send-off from their mother in Vaniville Town, the player travels along Routes {{rtn|2|Kalos}} and {{rtn|3|Kalos}} and through [[Santalune Forest]]. Upon arrival in [[Santalune City]], the player receives the [[Roller Skates]] in front of the [[Santalune Gym]], where the player defeats the Gym Leader, [[Viola]], and receives the {{Badge|Bug}}. Viola's sister, [[Alexa]], points the way to {{rt|4|Kalos}}. | ||
As the player reaches the gate to [[Lumiose City]], they meet [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]], who introduce the new {{t|Fairy}} [[type]]. When the player first reaches Lumiose City, they cannot do much because of a power outage. They go to Professor Sycamore's lab, and soon the rest of their friends arrive.

When the player first reaches Lumiose City, they cannot do much because of a power outage. They go to Professor Sycamore's lab, and soon the rest of their friends arrive. Sycamore allows each of them, including the player, to pick a [[Kanto]] first partner Pokémon. On the player's way out, they see Dexio with [[Lysandre]] talking about the potential the Professor's pupils have. Lysandre says he desires a beautiful world and leaves the building. The friends come to the player thereafter, with Tierno directing the player to Café Soleil and Camphrier Town. In Café Soleil, Lysandre is talking to [[Diantha]], an established Kalos actress. He asks her if she wants to remain young and beautiful forever, but she dismisses the question and says that she looks forward to playing more roles as she gets older. After Lysandre leaves, she tells the player that she is a Trainer and looks forward to battling them in the future. | ||
The player continues on through {{rt|5|Kalos}} to [[Camphrier Town]], running into [[Korrina]] and her {{p|Lucario}} along the way. On {{rt|7|Kalos}}, a sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} can be found blocking the way. After being directed to the [[Parfum Palace]], the player and Shauna will help find the owner's lost {{p|Furfrou}} before being invited to watch the fireworks show and being given the [[Poké Flute]]. The player returns to Route 7 to wake the Snorlax and unblock the path to reach [[Connecting Cave]]. A boulder in the cave forces the player to take a side exit to the cliff part of {{rt|8|Kalos}}, where they receive the [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos Pokédex]]. The player then arrives in [[Ambrette Town]]. Shauna recommends visiting [[Glittering Cave]], east of {{rt|9|Kalos}}, to search for more Pokémon. The player rides a Rhyhorn on Route 9 before entering Glittering Cave. Inside Glittering Cave, the player and Calem/Serena encounter [[Team Flare]] for the first time and rescues a {{tc|Scientist}}. | The player continues on through {{rt|5|Kalos}} to [[Camphrier Town]], running into [[Korrina]] and her {{p|Lucario}} along the way.

The player starts with a random [[Kalos]] [[first partner Pokémon]], {{p|Helioptile}}, and {{p|Sylveon}}; all 3 Pokémon are at level 30 and have a random [[gender]], and have a regular chance of being {{Shiny}}. The player starts off the demo with 10 {{i|Poké Ball}}s, which they can use to catch the wild Pokémon that appear. The player also starts off with 5 [[Potion]]s, 5 [[Hyper Potion]]s, 5 [[Paralyze Heal]]s, and 5 [[Awakening]]s in the bag. [[Pokémon-Amie]] is constantly present on the touch screen while the player is in the overworld. Pokémon do not gain [[experience]] in the demo. | ||
The player is welcomed by [[Alexa]], and starts in a modified version of {{rt|4|Kalos}}, an area with a large fountain in an area of decreased elevation, surrounded by small staircases leading to the fountain. Between the player's starting position and the fountain is [[tall grass]].

Past these mazes is [[Professor Sycamore]] standing in front of a [[gate]].
