Pokemon: Season 15, Episode 1

15 - 1: Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!

As Ash, Cilan, Iris depart from the Battle Subway, Ash is eager to finally challenge the gym leader of Nimbasa. As they arrive at the gym, Bianca runs in from out of nowhere and bumps into Ash sending him into a nearby fountain. Bianca has arrived to challenge the Gym Leader, a well-known model in Unova, Elesa. Unfortunately as they approach the doors to the gym, the doors don't open. A notice nearby says that Elesa is in a Fashion Show at the moment. Rather than just stand outside Ash, Cilan, Iris, and Bianca decide to go see her show. At the show Elesa struts down the runway in the latest Unova fashion. While everyone is amazed by her beauty, Elesa notices Pikachu and jumps down to see him. She gleefully looks at Pikachu stating it the first time she's seen a real one in person. Ash and friends introduces themselves to her. Bianca and Ash announce that they wish to battle her for the Bolt Badge, which Elesa accepts.
