Summary

English Official Summary

While our heroes are in Lumiose City, Serena suggests they visit Professor Sycamore before they continue their journey, and she’s even made a batch of delicious macarons for the occasion. At the professor’s lab, they settle in with a nice cup of tea, only to discover the macarons are missing! They find the basket of treats in a corner, guarded by a very hungry Chespin who isn’t interested in sharing. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has been researching Professor Sycamore’s studies on Mega Evolution, and the villains decide that stealing his data would be a big boost to their schemes. They break into the lab grounds, grab the professor, and throw him in the back of their truck. He’s not alone, however—Bonnie and Serena manage to sneak aboard before they drive away. The girls get locked inside by accident, but Serena manages to leave a trail of broken macarons—which Chespin quickly sniffs out, leading Clemont and Ash to the villains’ hideout! In the meantime, James has plugged Professor Sycamore’s data into a mechanical Mega-Mega Meowth, which attacks our heroes! Chespin lets Clemont know it wants to battle, but neither Chespin nor Pikachu can make a dent in the mighty machine. But then, the Mega Blaziken that rescued Ash when he fell from Prism Tower reappears, along with its Trainer, a mysterious man in a Blaziken mask. Mega Blaziken’s incredibly powerful Flamethrower leaves Mega-Mega Meowth charbroiled, along with the actual Meowth who’s been controlling it, and Team Rocket is sent blasting off again. As our heroes head back to the lab with the professor, Mega Blaziken’s Trainer is watching over them—now without his mask. It’s Meyer, Clemont and Bonnie’s dad! At the lab, Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are saying their farewells when Bonnie notices Chespin watching them. Clemont thanks the Pokémon for its help against Team Rocket and says they’ll meet again soon, but it seems clear that Chespin wants to come along! And so, with Clemont’s friend Chespin now part of the group, the journey to Cyllage City continues!

French Official Summary

Puisque nos héros sont à Illumis, Serena suggère de rendre visite au Professeur Platane avant de continuer leur voyage. Elle a justement préparé de délicieux macarons pour l’occasion ! Au laboratoire du Professeur, ils s’installent devant une bonne tasse de thé… pour découvrir que les macarons ont disparu ! Ils retrouvent dans un coin le panier contenant les friandises, dérobé par un Marisson qui n’a pas l’intention de partager. Pendant ce temps, la Team Rocket s’est renseignée sur les recherches du Professeur Platane concernant les Méga-Évolutions, et les bandits décident de voler ses données, pour accomplir leurs noirs desseins. Ils s’introduisent dans le laboratoire, kidnappent le Professeur, et le jettent à l’arrière de leur camion. Clem et Serena réussissent à se glisser à bord avant qu’ils ne démarrent. Les filles se retrouvent enfermées dans le camion par accident, mais Serena réussit à laisser une piste avec des miettes de macarons, que Marisson ne tarde pas à repérer, menant ainsi Sacha et Lem jusqu’à la cachette des bandits ! Pendant ce temps, James a introduit les données du Professeur Platane dans un Méga-Méga-Miaouss mécanique, qui attaque aussitôt nos héros ! Marisson fait comprendre à Lem qu’il veut combattre. Mais ni Marisson ni Pikachu ne font le poids devant la terrible machine. C’est alors qu’intervient le Méga-Braségali qui avait secouru Sacha lors de sa chute de la Tour Prismatique ; il est accompagné de son Dresseur, un homme mystérieux qui porte un masque de Braségali. L’incroyable puissance de l’attaque Lance-Flammes de Méga-Braségali grille le Méga-Méga-Miaouss, ainsi que le véritable Miaouss qui le dirigeait, et la Team Rocket s’envole une fois de plus vers d’autres cieux. Tandis que nos héros repartent vers le laboratoire avec le Professeur, le Dresseur de Méga-Braségali les regarde. Il a enlevé son masque et on découvre ainsi qu’il s’agit de Jérémy, le père de Lem et Clem ! Au laboratoire, Sacha, Serena, Lem et Clem font leurs adieux lorsque Clem remarque que Marisson les regarde. Lem remercie le Pokémon pour son aide lors du combat contre la Team Rocket et lui assure qu’ils se reverront bientôt, mais il semble évident que Marisson veut partir avec lui ! Et c’est donc avec un nouvel ami, Marisson, que nos héros reprennent la route de Relifac-le-Haut !

German Official Summary

Da sie in Illumina City sind, schlägt Serena vor, doch noch schnell Professor Platan zu besuchen, bevor sie weiterreisen. Und für diese besondere Gelegenheit macht sie sofort einen Schwung leckerer Makronen! Doch als sie sich im Labor des Professors gerade zu einer Tasse Tee hinsetzen wollen, stellen sie fest, dass die Makronen verschwunden sind! In einer Ecke finden sie den Korb mit den Leckereien, doch er wird von einem sehr hungrigen Igamaro bewacht, das nicht das geringste Interesse daran hat, die Makronen zu teilen. Währenddessen ist Team Rocket auf der Suche nach Professor Platans Forschungsergebnissen über die Mega-Entwicklung. Diese Daten zu stehlen, wäre für die Gauner ein großer Schub nach oben auf ihrer Karriereleiter. Kurzerhand schleichen sie sich auf das Grundstück, schnappen sich den Professor und werfen ihn auf die Ladefläche ihres Lastwagens. Doch bevor sie wegfahren, gelingt es Heureka und Serena in allerletzter Sekunde, sich in den Lastwagen zu schmuggeln. Durch einen Zufall verriegelt sich die Tür, doch Serena legt eine Spur aus Makronenstückchen, die Igamaro natürlich sofort erschnüffelt und somit Ash und Citro zu dem Versteck der Gauner führt. In der Zwischenzeit hat James Professor Platans Dateien in ein mechanisches Mega-Mauzi hochgeladen, das unsere Helden angreift! Igamaro lässt Citro wissen, dass es gern kämpfen möchte. Aber weder Igamaro noch Pikachu können dieser gewaltigen Maschine auch nur einen Kratzer zufügen. Doch dann taucht plötzlich wieder das Mega-Lohgock auf, das Ash gerettet hat, als er vom Prismaturm gestürzt ist. Es erscheint mit seinem Trainer, einem mysteriösen Mann, der eine Lohgock-Maske trägt. Mega-Lohgocks unglaublich starker Flammenwurf grillt Mega-Mauzi, bis es nur noch ein Häufchen verkohltes Blech ist. Auch Mauzi, das die Maschine im Inneren bedient hat, ist fix und fertig. Team Rocket bleibt mal wieder nichts anderes übrig, als sich auf altbewährte Art zu verabschieden. Während unsere Helden mit dem Professor zusammen zurück zum Labor gehen, behält sie der Trainer von Mega-Lohgock im Auge – jetzt jedoch ohne Maske. Es ist Meyer, Citro und Heurekas Vater! Als sich Ash, Serena, Citro und Heureka gerade im Labor verabschieden, bemerkt Heureka plötzlich, dass Igamaro sie beobachtet. Citro nutzt die Gelegenheit und bedankt sich bei dem Pokémon für seine Hilfe beim Kampf gegen Team Rocket und sagt ihm, dass sie sich bald wiedersehen werden. Aber es scheint völlig klar zu sein, dass Igamaro mit ihnen mitkommen möchte. Gesagt, getan! Und so gehört Citros Freund Igamaro jetzt zu der Gruppe unserer Freunde. Die Reise nach Relievera City kann weitergehen!

Italian Official Summary

Dal momento che si trovano a Luminopoli, Serena suggerisce ai nostri eroi di far visita al Professor Platan prima di rimettersi in viaggio; la ragazza inoltre ha preparato un’infornata di macaron per l’occasione! Al laboratorio del professore, i ragazzi si apprestano a godersi una tazza di tè quando si accorgono che i macaron sono spariti! Il cestino di dolci si trova in un angolo della stanza, guardato a vista da un famelico Chespin che non ha alcuna intenzione di condividerli. Nel frattempo, il Team Rocket sta facendo delle ricerche sugli studi del Professor Platan riguardanti la Megaevoluzione; i tre cattivi giungono presto alla conclusione che rubare i dati del professore darà una grossa spinta ai loro piani. Irrompono quindi nel laboratorio, rapiscono il professore e lo buttano nel retro del loro furgone, ma non si accorgono che Clem e Serena, che hanno assistito a tutto, sono riuscite a intrufolarsi a bordo prima che partano. Le ragazze, però, restano bloccate anche loro all’interno del furgone. Serena allora pensa bene di lasciare delle briciole di macaron dietro di sé; una traccia che Chespin fiuta immediatamente, conducendo così Ash e Lem al nascondiglio dei lestofanti! James ha intanto inserito i dati del Professor Platan nella sua macchina Mega-MegaMeowth che attacca i nostri eroi! Chespin fa capire a Lem che vuole lottare, ma né lui né Pikachu riescono a scalfire la potente macchina. Tuttavia, il MegaBlaziken che ha salvato Ash quando è caduto dalla Torre Prisma riappare insieme al suo Allenatore, un uomo misterioso con una maschera di Blaziken. Il Lanciafiamme di MegaBlaziken è così potente da carbonizzare il Mega-MegaMeowth insieme al vero Meowth che lo stava pilotando e il Team Rocket ancora una volta fallisce. Mentre i nostri eroi ritornano al laboratorio con il professore, l’Allenatore del MegaBlaziken li osserva da lontano, ora senza la maschera: si tratta di Meyer, il padre di Lem e Clem! Al laboratorio, Ash, Serena, Lem e Clem sono pronti a partire quando Clem si accorge che Chespin li sta osservando da lontano. Lem ringrazia il Pokémon per il suo aiuto contro il Team Rocket e gli dice che si incontreranno di nuovo presto, ma è chiaro che Chespin vuole andare con loro! E così, con il nuovo compagno di Lem, Chespin, ora il gruppo si rimette in viaggio verso Altoripoli!

Portuguese Official Summary

Enquanto nossos heróis estão na Cidade de Lumiose, Serena sugere uma visita ao Professor Sicômoro antes deles continuarem a jornada... e ela fez uma fornada de deliciosos bem-casados para a ocasião! No laboratório do professor, eles tomam uma deliciosa xícara de chá só para descobrir que os bem-casados desapareceram! Eles encontram o cesto de doces num canto, guardado por um Chespin faminto que não se interessa em dividir. Enquanto isso, a Equipe Rocket andou  sondando os estudos do Professor Sicômoro sobre a Mega Evolução, e os vilões decidiram que roubar seus dados seria um grande impulso para seus planos. Eles invadem o laboratório, sequestram o professor e o jogam na traseira de seu caminhão, mas Bonnie e Serena conseguem entrar no caminhão escondidas antes dos vilões partirem. As meninas ficam trancadas lá dentro por acidente, mas Serena deixa um rastro de migalhas de bem-casados—o qual Chespin rapidamente fareja, levando Clemont e Ash para o esconderijo dos vilões! Enquanto isso, James  insere os dados do Professor Sicômoro dentro de um Mega-Mega Meowth mecânico que ataca nossos heróis! Chespin sinaliza pra Clemont que ele quer batalhar, mas nem Chespin, nem Pikachu conseguem fazer um arranhão na formidável máquina. Mas então, o Mega Blaziken que salvou Ash quando ele caiu da Torre Prisma aparece de novo, junto com seu Treinador, um homem misterioso usando uma máscara de Blaziken. O incrivelmente poderoso Lança-Chamas de Mega Blaziken deixa o Mega-Mega Meowth todo queimado, junto do próprio Meowth que o controlava, e a Equipe Rocket é mandada decolando de novo. Enquanto nossos heróis voltam para o laboratório com o professor, o Treinador de Mega Blaziken os observa, agora sem a máscara. Ele é Meyer, o pai de Clemont e Bonnie! No laboratório, Ash, Serena, Clemont, e Bonnie estão  se despedindo quando Bonnie percebe Chespin os observando. Clemont agradece o Pokémon pela sua ajuda contra a Equipe Rocket e diz que eles voltarão a se ver logo, mas logo fica claro que Chespin quer  viajar também! Então, com o novo amigo de Clemont, Chespin, integrando o grupo, a jornada para a Cidade de Cyllage continua!

Finnish Official Summary

Koska sankarimme ovat Lumiose Cityssä, he päättävät mennä vierailemaan professori Sycamoren luona Serenan ehdotuksesta. Hän on nimittäin leiponut korillisen herkullisia macaron-leivoksia! Professorin laboratoriossa he istuvat kuuman teekupillisen ääreen vain huomatakseen, että leivokset ovat kadonneet! Herkkukori löytyy nurkasta, jota vartioi erittäin nälkäinen Chespin, joka ei halua jakaa omastaan. Sillä välin Rakettiryhmä on tutkaillut professori Sycamoren tutkimuksia megakehityksestä, ja tutkimusten varastaminen edistäisi heidän omia juoniaan. Rakettiryhmä murtautuu laboratorioon, sieppaa professorin ja he heittävät hänet autonsa perälle. Bonnie ja Serena onnistuvat hiipimään kyytiin ennen kuin rosvot ehtivät lähteä. Tytöt jäävät lukkojen taakse myös, mutta Serena onnistuu jättämään macaron-muruista reitin muiden seurattavaksi. Chespin haistaa murut pian ja johtaa Ashin ja Clemontin roistojen piilopaikkaan! Sillä välin James on liittänyt professori Sycamoren tiedot mekaaniseen Mega-Mega Meowthiin, joka hyökkää sankareidemme kimppuun! Chespin näyttää Clemontille haluavansa otella, mutta sekä Chespin että Pikachu kokevat karvaan kohtalon kone-goljatin kynsissä. Sitten Ashin prismatornissa pelastanut Mega-Blaziken syöksyy mukaan salaperäisen kouluttajansa, Blaziken-Naamion kanssa. Mega-Blazikenin uskomattoman vahva Flamethrower tekee Mega-Mega Meowthista mustuneen raadon. Myös sitä ohjannut Meowth on kärventynyt ja joutuu häippäsemään muiden Rakettiryhmäläisten mukana. Sankarimme suuntaavat takaisin laboratorioon professorin kera Mega-Blazikenin kouluttajan tarkkaillessa heitä ilman naamiotaan. Hän on Meyer, Bonnien ja Clemontin isä! Laboratoriossa Ash, Serena, Clemont ja Bonnie hyvästelevät muita. Samassa Bonnie huomaa, että Chespin tarkkailee heitä. Clemont kiittää Pokémonia sen antamasta avusta ja lupaa tavata sen uudestaan pian, mutta on selvää, että Chespin haluaa tulla mukaan! Ja niin, Clemontin uuden ystävän Chespinin liittyessä mukaan ryhmää matka kohti Cyllage Cityä jatkuu!

Mientras nuestros héroes se encuentran en Ciudad Lumiose, Serena sugiere que visiten al Profesor Sycamore, antes de continuar con su viaje, para eso ella ha preparado un lote de deliciosos macarrones para la ocasión. En el Laboratorio del Profesor, todos se sientan con una deliciosa taza de té, ¡sólo para descubrir que los macarrones han desaparecido! Nuestros amigos encuentran la canasta de los dulces en una esquina, resguardada por un Chespin muy hambriento que no tiene ningún interés en compartirlos. Mientras tanto, el Equipo Rocket ha estado averiguando sobre los estudios que ha realizado el Profesor Sycamore acerca de la Mega Evolución, y los villanos deciden que robar sus datos sería un gran avance para sus planes. Por ello, el Equipo Rocket entra a los terrenos del laboratorio, secuestra al Profesor y lo lanza a la parte trasera de su camioneta. Pero Bonnie y Serena consiguen colarse sigilosamente antes de que la camioneta se aleje. Por accidente, las chicas quedan atrapadas adentro, pero Serena consigue dejar un rastro de macarrones rotos, los cuales son detectados rápidamente por Chespin, llevando así a Clemont y a Ash hasta el escondite de los villanos. Mientras tanto, James ha introducido los datos del Profesor Sycamore en un Mega Mega Meowth mecánico, el cual ataca a nuestros héroes. Chespin le informa a Clemont que él también quiere pelear, pero ni Chespin ni Pikachu logran hacer mella en la poderosa máquina. Pero entonces, el Mega Blaziken que rescató a Ash cuando cayó de la Torre Prisma reaparece junto con su Entrenador, un hombre misterioso con una máscara de Blaziken. El lanzallamas increíblemente poderoso del Mega Blaziken deja al Mega Mega Meowth chamuscado, junto con el Meowth real, que lo estaba controlando, y el Equipo Rocket sale volando otra vez. Mientras nuestros héroes regresan al laboratorio con el Profesor, el Entrenador del Mega Blaziken los observa, ahora sin su máscara. ¡Es Meyer, el papá de Clemont y Bonnie! En el laboratorio, Ash, Serena, Clemont y Bonnie se están despidiendo cuando Bonnie se da cuenta de que Chespin los está observando. Clemont agradece al Pokémon por su ayuda contra el Equipo Rocket y le dice que se encontrarán nuevamente, pero parece claro que Chespin quiere ir con ellos. ¡Y así, con Chespin (el amigo de Clemont) como nuevo miembro del grupo, el viaje hacia Ciudad Cyllage continúa!

Como nuestros héroes están en Ciudad Luminalia, Serena sugiere ir a visitar al Profesor Ciprés antes de continuar el viaje y ha hecho unos deliciosos macarons para la ocasión. En el Laboratorio del Profesor, se sientan con una rica taza de té, cuando de repente descubren que los macarons han desaparecido. Por fin encuentran la cesta de golosinas en un rincón y protegida por un Chespin goloso que no piensa compartir. Mientras tanto, el Team Rocket ha estado investigando sobre los estudios del Profesor Ciprés sobre la megaevolución y los villanos deciden que robarle la información sobre dicha investigación daría un gran impulso a sus planes. Irrumpen en las instalaciones del laboratorio, raptan al Profesor y le arrojan a la parte trasera de su camión. Clem y Serena consiguen colarse a bordo antes de que arranquen. Las niñas se quedan encerradas dentro por accidente, pero Serena deja una pista de trocitos de macarons que Chespin rastrea rápidamente, llevando a Lem y a Ash hasta la guarida de los villanos. Mientras tanto, James ha insertado los datos del Profesor Ciprés a un Mega-Mega-Meowth mecánico que ataca a nuestros héroes.

Russian Official Summary

Раз уж наши герои оказались в Люмиос-Сити, Серена предлагает им зайти к профессору Сайкамору. И по случаю она испекла вкуснейшее безе! Но, усевшись за чашками чая, герои узнают, что всё безе пропало! В углу комнаты они замечают Чеспина, который, похоже, не был намерен ни с кем делиться. Тем временем, Команда Р изучает данные Профессора о Мега-Эволюции и решают похитить его для своих будущих злодейских нужд. Они проникают в лабораторию, хватают Профессора и похищают его. Но Бонни и Серене удаётся проникнуть в кузов их фургона. Девочки оказываются заперты. Но Серена оставляет след из крошек безе, которые подбирает Чеспин. И вскоре Эш с Клемонтом находят укрытие Команды Р! Но тут Джеймс подключает карту памяти Профессора Сайкамора к роботу, Мега-Мега Мяуту, который нападает на наших героев! Чеспин и Пикачу вступают в схватку. Но ни одному из них не удаётся даже поцарапать робота. Вдруг появляется Мега Блейзикен, который уже однажды спас Эша, а с ним его загадочный хозяин. Мощный «Огнемёт» Мега Блейзикена выводит из строя Мега-Мега Мяута, а также самого Мяута, который им управлял. Команда Р опять оказывается в пролёте. Наши герои возвращаются в лабораторию Профессора Сайкамора. А Тренер Мега Блейзикена наблюдает за ними, но теперь уже без маски. Оказывается, что это Мейер – отец Бонни и Клемонта! Герои прощаются с Профессором Сайкамором. Но тут Бонни замечает, что за ними наблюдает Чеспин. Похоже, он хочет отправиться с ними. И именно он становится новым другом и Покемоном Клемонта!

Dutch Official Summary

Onze helden zijn nog steeds in Lumiose City en Serena stelt voor dat ze Professor Sycamore bezoeken, voordat ze met hun reis verdergaan. Voor deze gelegenheid heeft ze een grote hoeveelheid heerlijke macarons gebakken! Eenmaal in het lab van de professor, instaleren ze zich aan tafel met een kop thee waarna te ontdekken dat de macarons weg zijn! Ze vinden de mand met koekjes in een hoek, samen met een hongerige Chespin die niet van plan is om te delen. Intussen heeft Team Rocket onderzoek gedaan naar Professor Sycamore’s studie naar Mega Evolutie en de schurken hebben besloten dat als ze zijn data stelen daar enorme profijt van kunnen hebben tijdens hun intriges. Ze breken in, vangen de professor en gooien hem achterin hun vrachtwagen, maar het lukt Bonnie en Serena om in te stappen voordat de vrachtwagen vertrekt. Serena laat een spoor achter van stukjes macaron, die Chespin ruikt en besluit te volgens, waardoor Clemont en Ash uiteindelijk de schuilplaats van de schurken vinden. Intussen heeft James Professor Sycamore’s geheugenkaart in een mechanische Mega-mega Meowth geplugd, zodat hij onze helden aanvalt! Chespin laat Clemont weten dat hij wil vechten, maar Chespin en Pikachu kunnen nog geen deukje in de gigantische machine slaan. Maar dan verschijnt de mega Blaziken die Ash heeft gered toen hij van de Prisma Toren viel, samen met zijn Trainer, een mysterieuze man met een masker. Mega Blaziken’s ongelofelijk krachtige Vlammenwerper zorgt ervoor dat de Mega-mega Meowth verkoold en samen met de Meowth die hem bestuurde achterblijft. En Team Rocket schiet er weer eens vandoor! Wanneer onze helden samen met de professor teruggaan naar het lab, zien we dat Mega Blaziken’s Trainer ze na kijkt – nu zonder zijn masker. Het is Meyer, de vader van Clemont en Bonnie! In het lab nemen Ash, Serena, Clemont en Bonnie afscheid, wanneer Bonnie opeens merkt dat Chespin naar ze aan het kijken is. Clemont bedankt de Pokémon voor zijn hulp Team Rocket te verslaan en zegt dat ze elkaar vast weer snel zien, maar het wordt al snel duidelijk dat Chespin met hem mee wil! En dus hoort Clemont’s vriend Chespin nu bij de groep en gaat de reis naar Cyllage City weer verder!

Norwegian Official Summary

Siden våre helter er i Lumiose City, foreslår Serena at de besøker Professor Sycamore før de fortsetter reisen - og hun har laget noen deilige makroner for anledningen! I professorens lab, tar de seg en kopp med te, før de oppdager at makronene er borte! De finner kurven med godsakene i et hjørne, bevoktet av en veldig sulten Chespin som ikke har lyst til å dele. Samtidig har Team Rocket gjort undersøkelser om Professor Sycamores forskning på Mega-evolusjon, og skurkene bestemmer seg for å stjele informasjon som vil styrke de onde planene deres. De bryter seg inn på eiendommen til laboratoriet, fanger professoren, og kaster ham inn i lastebilen sin, men Bonnie og Serena klarer å snike seg ombord før de kjører sin vei. Jentene blir låst inne ved et uhell, men Serena klarer å legge igjen et spor av makronsmuler - som Chespin raskt lukter seg fram til, og leder Clemont og Ash til kjeltringenes gjemmested! I mellomtiden har James programmert Professor Sycamores informasjon inn i en mekanisk Mega-mega Meowth, som angriper våre helter! Chespin lar Clemont skjønne at den vil kjempe, men verken Chespin eller Pikachu har en sjanse mot den mektige maskinen. Men så kommer den samme Mega Blaziken som reddet Ash da han falt ned fra Prisme-tårnet til unnsetning, sammen med Treneren sin, en mystisk mann med en Blaziken-maske. Den utrolig kraftige Flamethrower til Mega Blaziken griller Mega-mega Meowth fullstendig, sammen med den ekte Meowth som kontrollerte den, og Team Rocket blir blåst avsted igjen. Når våre drar tilbake til laben med professoren, følger treneren til Mega Blaziken med, nå uten maske. Det er Meyer, faren til Clemont og Bonnie! På laben tar Ash, Serena, Clemont og Bonnie farvel, da Bonnie oppdager at Chespin følger med på dem. Clemont takker denne Pokémon for hjelpen mot Team Rocket og sier at de sees igjen snart, men da blir det tydelig at Chespin vil bli med på reisen! Og så, med Clemont sin nye venn Chespin som en del av gjengen, fortsetter reisen til Cyllage City!

Swedish Official Summary

Eftersom de är i Lumiose City föreslår Serena att de ska besöka Professor Sycamore innan de fortsätter sin resa och detta för att hon har bakat en omgång smaskiga macaroner för det tillfället. På labbet finner de sig till rätta med en god kopp te men upptäcker då att macaronerna saknas! De hittar korgen med godsaker i en hörna där de vaktas av en väldigt hungrig Chespin, som inte är intresserad av att dela med sig. Under tiden har Team Rocket studerat Professor Sycamores studier om Mega-utveckling och skurkarna beslutar att stjäla hans information för det skulle vara en stor hjälp i deras onda planer. De bryter sig in på lab-området, fångar professorn och kastar in honom i sin lastbil, men Bonnie och Serena lyckas smyga ombord innan de kör sin väg. Flickorna blir inlåsta av misstag, men Serena lyckas lämna ett spår av smulade macaroner, som Chespin snabbt sniffar rätt på, och leder Clemont och Ash till skurkarnas gömställe! Under tiden har James kopplat professor Sycamores information till en mekanisk Mega-Mega Meowth, som anfaller våra hjältar! Chespin låter Clemont få veta att den vill strida, men varken Chespin eller Pikachu lyckas orsaka ens en skråma på den mäktiga maskinen. Men sedan dyker den Mega Blaziken, som räddade Ash när han föll från Prisma-tornet, upp igen tillsammans med sin tränare, en mystisk man i en Blaziken-mask. Mega Blaziken är otroligt kraftfull och lämnar Mega-Mega Meowth helt grillad, tillsammans med den verklige Meowth, som kontrollerat den, och Team Rocket far skyndsamt iväg igen. När våra hjältar beger sig tillbaka till labbet med professorn, betraktar Mega Blazikens tränare dem, nu utan sin mask. Det är Meyer, Clemont och Bonnies pappa! På labbet, säger Ash, Serena, Clemont och Bonnie hejdå, när Bonnie märker att Chespin betraktar dem. Clemont tackar Pokémon för hjälpen mot Team Rocket och säger att de kommer att ses snart igen, men det verkar uppenbart att Chespin vill följa med! Och så, med Clemonts vän som en del av gruppen, fortsätter resan mot Cyllage City!

Danish Official Summary

Nu hvor vores helte alligevel er i Lumiose City, foreslår Serena at de besøger Professor Sycamore før de fortsætter rejsen. Og hun har bagt en omgang lækre macarons til lejligheden. I professorens laboratorium har alle sat sig til rette med en dejlig kop te, blot for at opdage at macaronsne er væk! De finder kurven med godbidder i et hjørne, vogtet af en meget sulten Chespin, som ikke er interesseret i at dele. I mellemtiden har Team Rocket undersøgt Professor Sycamore forskning i Mega-udviking, og skurkene vedtager at stjæle dataen, som de vil kunne bruge til egne formål. De bryder ind i laboratoriet, snupper professoren og smider ham om bagi deres vogn, men det lykkes Bonnie og Serena at snige sig med før de kører væk. Pigerne bliver ved et uheld låst inde, men Serena får lagt et spor af macaron-krummer – som Chespin hurtigt dufter sig frem til, og så viser han Ash og Clemont hen til skurkenes gemmested! I mellemtiden har James læst Professor Sycamores data ind i en mekanisk Mega-Mega-Meowth, som nu angriber vores helte. Chespin lader Clemont vide, at den vil kæmpe, men hverken Chespin eller Pikachu kan lade så meget som en bule i den mægtige maskine. Men så kommer den Mega Blaziken, som reddede Ash, da han faldt ned fra Prism Tower, tilbage sammen med sin træner – en mystisk mand i Blaziken-maske. Mega Blazikens utroligt kraftige Flamethrower efterlader Mega-Mega-Meowth som trækul, sammen med den rigtige Meowth, som har styret den, og Team Rocket bliver endnu en gang sendt på en flyvetur. Mens vores helte vender tilbage til Professor Sycamores laboratorium, står Mega Blazikens træner og observerer dem – nu uden maske- det er Meyer, Clemont og Bonnies far! Ash, Serena, Clemont og Bonnie står og siger farvel, da Bonnie opdager at Chespin kigger på! Clemont takker Pokémonen for dens hjælp mod Team Rocket og lover at de snart vil mødes igen, men det står klart for enhver, at Chespin gerne vil med! Og således, med Clemonts nye ven Chespin, fortsætter rejsen mod Cyllage City!

Script Error

The English dub killed the whole opening song intro cutoff joke that the Japanese original had. Kojiro in the original begins explaining the name of the mecha only for Musashi and Nyarth to get confused and want to hear it again which Kojiro begins to do but is then cutoff by the Volt intro.

James in the English dub instead says they don't need to hear the name of it again.

Character English Translation Japanese
James Mega Evolution makes the Mega Meowth... Mega Meowth makes the Mega Team Rocket... Mega Team Rocket makes the whole Mega world its own! Nyarth, you'll be manning a Mega-Mega-Mega-Mecha, a Mega Mega Evolution which surpasses even Mega Evolution! メガ進化よりすごい メガメガ進化の メガメガメガメカに ニャースが乗り込む!
Jessie Run that by me that again? Huh? Could you repeat that? えっ? もう1回言って。
James No need! It's Mega-mania! Nyarth, you'll be manning a Mega-Mega-Me- メガ進化よりすごい メ…。

So.. In this episode Serena decides that Satoshi & co. will stay in Miare a little longer and visit dat Platan.
It is somehow obvious who will get which Pokemon in this episode. Just one shot at a certain someone spills all the secrets of this episode.. Well, not all of them.
It does not cover the contrast between Team Rocket's professionality and th the same time complete idiocy in this episode. On one hand they have a plan, they kidnap a professor using a van and they have hacking skills beyond Neo (seriously, implemending "data on Mega Evolutions" into your own mecha just by "downloading" the data? Do all scientists in the Pokemon world use the same format for all research data and for electronics firmware?). But they also completely fail in several things. When they are supposedto leave the laboratory as far as possible before someone notices that the professor has been kidnapped, they just slack off and wait so long that two children actually manage to get into their van. Also, they build a Nyaasu-controlled mecha vehicle. Fine.. But.. a vehicle which needs a wire to be connected to its primary power source? What the hell? That is not how you do serious criminal business.
And some extra logic: The professor just conveniently has ALL of his research data on an SD-card in his pocket. I guess he really loves to to backup his data if he his pocket always contains a copy of an up-to-date version of all his research.
But good things happened in this episode as well. Serena and Eureka parodying the Team Rocket, addition of a new Pokemon to Satoshi & co, and a revelation of... Well, maybe a way too sudden revelation.

My rating:
An episode with the purpose to introduce a new Pokemon to the team. However, it is somehow forced. Something like "hey, let's suddenly go there instead of there", unexpectedly meet Team Rocket who are conducting some plan of theirs there and base the reason why the Pokemon joins Satoshi & co. only on this experience. Team Rocket is not really a good choice for a plot engine.
Despite all that, this episode had some good moments as well.
I give it 7.
You would totally like to be a tree.
