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.

While there, she learned about a [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] that was going to take place there. When Ash was bumped by [[Rodney]], who became Ash's new rival for the tournament, Alexa comforted him. At the end of the tournament, when Ash had won, Alexa had filmed the tournament, including Ash giving Rodney an apple after he lost. After the tournament was officially finished, Alexa decided to travel with the group.

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.

In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' after Alexa and the group arrived on [[Cave Island]], she temporarily left the group and rode on her Gogoat to find something to film. At the end of the episode, she returned to Ash and his friends and as she missed out on a {{Shiny}} {{p|Druddigon}} who lived on the island, [[Clair]] showed the Druddigon to her as she caught it earlier.

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 {{pkmn|training}}.


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.
In ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]'', Alexa met up with the group in [[Ambrette Town]] while Ash was having a practice battle with his {{AP|Froakie}} and {{AP|Fletchling}}. She took the group to the Ambrette Town Fossil Laboratory. Inside, Alexa recorded some footage of the stuff happening in the lab. During a heist set up by {{TRT}}, she went with the group and {{p|Aurorus}} to retrieve {{p|Amaura}} back. With Aurorus's help, she was able to find Amaura and return it to the lab.


Alexa reappeared in ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]''.
Alexa reappeared in ''[[XY066|Confronting the Darkness!]]''. She approached Ash, his friends and [[Meyer]] when they were trying to prove the innocence of the [[Clembot]], which had been put behind bars. She told them that she had been investigating the cases of the strange incidents the Clembot was framed for as well. In the process, she had find out that Blaziken Mask was involved with it. She then instructed Ash and his friends to look into the blueprints of the Clembot and see if they could find any clues, and meanwhile she would also continue her own investigation. That night, in the middle of investigating, Alexa noticed Blaziken Mask running on the rooftops. She followed him, and at the [[Lumiose Museum]] she watched Clemont battle the culprit actually responsible for the crimes, [[Belmondo]]. When Belmondo was defeated by Clemont and arrested by [[Officer Jenny]], Blaziken Mask took off over the rooftops. Alexa then ran after him, ordering him to stop. The following morning she had written an article in a local newspaper on the incident, citing the Clembot to have saved Lumiose City.


===Character===
===Character===
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.

Alexa makes her first appearance in the {{chap|X & Y}}, where she goes to [[Vaniville Town]] with Viola to interview up-and-coming {{tc|Sky Trainer}} {{adv|Y}}. Noting that she used to be a {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer in the past, Alexa wonders why Y decided to switch from the land to the sky. Y refuses to answer and states that she hates reporters for causing her friend {{adv|X}} to become a shut-in and refuse to leave his house despite his friends' constant efforts.

Y refuses to answer and states that she hates reporters for causing her friend {{adv|X}} to become a shut-in and refuse to leave his house despite his friends' constant efforts. Before the interview can continue, the legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} appear and begin destroying the town while fighting each other. When Viola wonders if the two are actually even Pokémon, Alexa states that she isn't sure either but notes that according to a 3,000 year old legend, Xerneas and Yveltal appear every 1,000 years.

When Viola wonders if the two are actually even Pokémon, Alexa states that she isn't sure either but notes that according to a 3,000 year old legend, Xerneas and Yveltal appear every 1,000 years.
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|Heli}} hostage. Y and the others take Alexa down to safety, confident that X will get Heli 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 Heli 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.
