Unknown if it will actually spawn into a Mini-Series, but on April 3rd, in place of the XY Anime for one week, a special Pokemon episode will be airing in Japan entitled "The Strongest Mega Evolution Act I". It's not replacing the main series or anything like that, rather we'll likely see periodic parts of it throughout the year.
The Special focuses on a new character, Alan, a Mega Evolution trainer with Charizard X as he journeys to defeat every Mega Evolution.
Alongside Alan, there's also Manon, apparently his sidekick who started with Chespin, and two other characters, Louis and Ayaka, who are probably his Rivals. Louis appears to have Mega Garchomp, while Ayaka has Mega Absol. Finally, the XY Elite Four Member Siebold will be appearing with Mega Blastoise, and he and Alan will battle it out.
The episode is being animated by OLM, like the main series, with Iwane Masaaki (aka one of the show's best animators) supervising, so it will likely look pretty nice and a bit better than the average episode.
While this episode does not seem to feature Ash and co., many people are speculating it's probable the episodes will eventually tie into the series proper, one idea being that Alan will end up being Ash's Kalos League Rival. Furthermore, in the upcoming Diancie Movie, one preview shows what appears to be Ayaka, so it will also apparently tie into the film.
