In [[XY128]], Noivern was used as Ash's fourth Pokémon in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He battled against Sawyer's {{p|Salamence}}. Noivern started off with Boomburst, and although Salamence was initially able to dodge the attack, it was eventually struck down. Both Pokémon then clashed with Dragon Claw and {{m|Dragon Rush}}, but Salamence was able to overpower Noivern, knocking him back. Noivern was then forced to dodge Salamence's {{m|Incinerate}} attacks and was then hit hard by a super effective {{m|Dragon Tail}}. A collision between Incinerate and Boomburst created a large cloud of smoke. Knowing about Noivern's echolocation ability, Sawyer had Salamence use {{m|Protect}} to block an incoming Acrobatics. After the smoke had cleared, both {{type|Dragon}}s once again clashed with Acrobatics and Dragon Rush, creating a large explosion. As a result, both Pokémon were unable to battle any further, resulting in a draw. | In [[XY128]], Noivern was used as Ash's fourth Pokémon in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]].

Noivern was Ash's second Pokémon used in the finals of the Conference against Alain in [[XY130]], where he went up against his {{p|Weavile}}. Despite being at a severe type disadvantage, Noivern was able to put up a good fight. He started the battle with Supersonic, but Weavile blocked the attack with Protect, allowing it to retaliate with Night Slash. Noivern, however, quickly recovered from the hit and sent Weavile flying into the rocky hill with another Supersonic. After a collision between {{m|Ice Beam}} and Boomburst, Noivern went for Dragon Claw. Weavile used {{m|Double Team}} in an attempt to dodge the attack, but Noivern was able to spot the real Weavile using echolocation. Despite this, Weavile was still able to dodge Dragon Claw and managed to hit Noivern with Ice Beam which partially freezed his wing, causing him to fall into the stream. Weavile then dove after Noivern and hit him with Night Slash, knocking him out. Before Ash recalled Noivern, Hawlucha popped out of his Poké Ball to comfort him and decided to fight Weavile in his place. | |||
Noivern was taken captive by [[Lysandre]], alongside Ash and his other Pokémon in [[XY132]]. He could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. [[Alain's Charizard]] broke Noivern and the other Pokémon free with Dragon Claw, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and {{p|Gyarados}} together. During the battle, Noivern used Boomburst to protect Greninja from {{p|Pyroar}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} and double teamed with Hawlucha to attack the Royal Pokémon. | |||
