Pokémon Adventures

Alexa makes her first appearance in theX & Y arc, where she goes toVaniville Town with Viola to interview up-and-comingSky TrainerY. Noting that she used to be aRhyhorn 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 friendX to become a shut-in and refuse to leave his house despite his friends' constant efforts. Before the interview can continue, the legendary PokémonXerneas andYveltal 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.

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 withProfessor Sycamore concerning the Vaniville Town incident. By the time she arrives, theLumiose 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 aPangoro, but she is saved at the last minute byX. The editor-in-chief continues battling X and even takes Alexa'sHeli 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 toRoute 4 so that she can meet up with Viola again in Santalune City.

Later, Alexa finishes an article, and tell's Viola about how the Ultimate Weapon ended a war 3,000 years ago. But it also ruined the lives of Humans and Pokémon. When Viola wonders if they can can stop it, Alexa tells her "it happened 3,000 years ago". But Viola senses something is bothering Alexa, and ask's what is bothering her. Alexa states "she has a bad feeling about this". Then, Alexa and Viola witness Lysandre announcing to the entire Kalos region about his plans to end all life with the power of the ultimate weapon. Afterward, they, along with Clemont,Bonnie andYvette, confront Team Flare atRoute 10 in order to free the captured Pokémon there. While Viola and Yvette lead the Sky Trainers in the air, Alexa, Clemont, and Bonnie work on destroying the Stone Pillars. However, Malva's Delphox attacks them, but Viola's quick thinking protects both teams from Delphox's attacks. Eventually, both teams succeeded in their mission. After Team Flare is fully defeated, Alexa and her allies go to Lumiose City to congratulate X and his friends on their victory against Team Flare.
