Jolt (Japanese: ボルト Volt) is a character of the day who appeared in The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!. He is a power plant worker who works at the Kalos Power Plant together with Jules and A.C.

Jolt and his colleagues were working when a security camera picked up three worn-out travelers at the front grate of the power plant. With little choice, they decided to let the travelers in and offered them food. However, before they knew it, the travelers attacked them and tied them together with a rope. The travelers revealed themselves to be Team Rocket in disguise and took over the power plant. Team Rocket used the power plant's antennae to send out waves that would control the Electric-type Pokémon in the vicinity. Jolt warned them of the dangerous effects their actions would bring forth, but Team Rocket refused to listen and locked Jolt and his colleagues inside another room.

Sometime later, Ash and his friends broke into the power plant to investigate the strange behavior of the Electric-type Pokémon and the abnormal positioning of the power plant's antennae. They found the power plant workers and freed them, and they were informed that Team Rocket was behind all of the recent events. Ash and his friends decided to go after Team Rocket and stop them, while the power plant workers would take care of opening the mechanic doors that Team Rocket had locked en route to their current location. They stayed in contact with Ash and his friends through the intercom system of the power plant.

After Ash and his friends managed to stop Team Rocket and turn the energy flow of the power plant back to normal, Jules and his colleagues thanked them for their efforts. Jolt decided to travel to Lumiose City by helicopter to report the incident personally at the head office. Hearing this, Clemont stepped forward and asked Jolt if he could come with him, as he would like to train at the Lumiose Gym for his upcoming Gym Battle with Ash. Jolt agreed to this and together with Clemont he headed off to Lumiose City.
