This episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who have found a poster advertising a battle featuring the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Kalos]] region, [[Diantha]]. The friends tell Ash, who has never heard of Diantha before, that Diantha is not only the strongest Pokémon trainer in Kalos, but is also a famous actress. Ash decides to request a battle with Diantha, and the friends run off to meet her. | This episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who have found a poster advertising a battle featuring the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Kalos]] region, [[Diantha]].

Just as Ash and his friends are about to leave, {{an|Professor Sycamore}} appears and motions to them to follow him into a room. The professor has come to examine the [[Mega Evolution]] that Diantha's Gardevoir possesses. The friends are excited to also hear that Diantha is in the room next door. Ash head towards the door, wanting to request a battle immediately, but before he can open it Diantha emerges, much to the awe of {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}. Professor Sycamore asks Diantha if she has thought about his request to leave her [[Key Stone]] temporarily in his possession, to which she respectfully declines, saying that the Key Stone is the very bond between her and Gardevoir. Professor Sycamore persists, however, and Diantha begins to offer a compromise for the next time she visits [[Lumiose City]]. Diantha's manager [[Kathi Lee]], however, appears and abruptly tells Sycamore that Diantha's schedule is full. Diantha tells the group to feel free to watch the battle. | ||

At the battlefield, the two opponents take to the field to a cheering crowd, Diantha and a previous year's champion from [[Brackish Town]], {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}. In the stands, Ash asks Professor Sycamore about the Key Stone. Professor Sycamore tells him the Key Stone is the stone Trainers hold, and the [[Mega Stone]] is the stone that Pokémon hold, both crucial to Mega Evolution. Diantha releases Gardevoir, who wears a Mega Stone. Professor Sycamore tells the travelers that a close bond between the Trainer and Pokemon is also crucial to Mega Evolution. Above, {{TRT}} watches and decides to get Gardevoir for themselves, hoping to please {{an|Giovanni}}. On the field, Magnus releases {{p|Absol}}, and the battle begins. Magnus and Absol begin with {{m|Bite}}, but Gardevoir is too quick. Absol then uses {{m|Quick Attack}}, but again Gardevoir evades the attack, able to understand Diantha's commands merely through eye contact. Magnus's Absol uses {{m|Psycho Cut}}, but Gardevoir repels it with {{m|Shadow Ball}}, which rebounds to hit Absol. As a last resort, Absol uses {{m|Perish Song}}, but Gardevoir uses {{m|Moonblast}} to knock Absol out, winning the match. | At the battlefield, the two opponents take to the field to a cheering crowd, Diantha and a previous year's champion from [[Brackish Town]], {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}.
