Satoshi is a boy who dreams of becoming a Pokemon Master, and together with his partner Pikachu, he continues his adventures, visiting Pokemon gyms with the aim of participating in the Kalos League. Satoshi Greninja is the form that Greninja takes when his bond with Satoshi reaches its peak, and due to the strong bond between the two, Satoshi's characteristics appear in key parts of its form. It is said that a similar phenomenon occurred only once in the Kalos region several hundred years ago, but everything remains shrouded in mystery.

Serena has found her dream of becoming a Pokémon performer, and is currently taking on the Tripokalon Rookie Class, with the goal of competing in the Master Class and becoming the Kalos Queen. Citron is a gym leader in Miare City, and dreams of becoming an inventor who makes people and Pokémon happy, and continues to adventure with Satoshi. Eureka is Citron's younger sister, and dreams of becoming a trainer, and continues to adventure with Satoshi.

Team Rocket is an evil organization that aims to take over the world, and in the Kalos region they are also trying to get Pikachu, attacking Satoshi and his friends in every way possible. Team Rocket keeps getting in the way, so keep an eye on them. Alain is a young man who used to be an assistant to Professor Sycamore, and while on a journey to find the Keystone and Mega Stone, he met Faba and now aims to become the strongest trainer with his partner Charizard. Faba is the representative of Faba Labs, and is a businessman who continues to research ways to use Mega Evolution energy for peaceful purposes. He bestowed the Mega Stone and Keystone on Alain's condition that he help with his research.

Team Flare is a mysterious group searching for Zygarde Cores, and seems to be plotting something using the legendary Pokémon Zygarde, but their true nature is shrouded in mystery. Zygarde Cells are like the "cells" that make up Zygarde, and they have no ego or will, and are scattered countless times all over the world. In addition, since they cannot use any moves, researchers are debating whether they should be called Pokémon along with the cores. Zygarde Cores are the brains of Zygarde, and they control the cells, have ego, and can communicate telepathically with other cores and cells scattered around the world. When abnormalities occur in the ecosystems of various areas, they may act alone. Zygarde 100% Form is formed when the core gathers 10% of the cells scattered around the world and combines them, and it overwhelms its enemies with its sharp fangs and speed, with a running speed of over 100 kilometers per hour. Zygarde 50% Form is a legendary Pokémon that is responsible for monitoring and maintaining ecosystems in various regions, and the previously known form of Zygarde was formed when its core gathered 50% of the cells scattered around the region and combined them. Zygarde Perfect Form is a perfect form formed when its core gathered all the cells scattered around the region and combined them, and it only takes this form when it determines that its 50% form is not enough to counter anything that is destroying the balance of the ecosystem in various regions, and its power is said to surpass that of the legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal.
