The Closest Ones

29. Looking for answers

"Wow, this one is fried too." Clemont said, as he looked at his own machine. The group returned back to the Lumiose city. After they had seen Ash's battle, Clemont wanted to come back to Lumiose city to be able get some information about so call The Bluetning. As they got back to the Lumiose city, Clemont noticed, how many of his Clemontic Showers fried or damaged. "It has exactly same pattern as the other ones." 

"Do you think it is because of Bluetning?" Ash asked, as he looked at the machine.

"I am not entirely sure, if it was suppose to be the same electricity that we saw last time, I think they would exploded. These one just fried and what people say, there is none pokemon ever found injured. I think I will have to visit an old friend to get more information." Clemont said, as he stood up. Everyone nodded and as they all started to follow Clemont, Ash's pokedex vibrated, making Ash stop and Pikachu look at him.

"Guys I have someone I have to call to." Ash spoke, Pikachu looked at him worriedly, it was another check time.

"Who do you have to call to?" Bonnie asked as they turned to him confused.

"Just someone I need to talk to. We will meet at Prism tower later." Ash spoke as he was ready to walk away.

"We-we can come with you Ash, I don't think we really need to hurry anywhere." Serena said, but Ash shook with his head.

"No, go. At least we will have it done. You know what? I can try to check on the first fried shower. Clemont don't you happen to know where it is?" Ash asked, almost rejecting anyone to come with him. Clemont confused looked at all of them, but it was something on Ash he also noticed. His sometimes disappearance and needed calls, but he never said anything.

"I don't know, but if I am lucky-" Clemont walked to side of his machine and put aside board to reveal a computer. "Every shower has tracking system of other showers. They show a date of last use to all in Lumiose city. If this pc-aah, I am lucky it isn't. Oh even more lucky, the last one used is close to professor Sycamore's lab and you know where it is."

"Yup I know that. Sorry to leave you like this guys, but we will see each other at Pokemon center. See ya." and before anyone could say anything, Ash and Pikachu were gone.

"Do any of you know, who he is always calling to?" Serena askeda little angry about Ash keeping secrets.

"I don't know, he always tell me that he calls to someone he knows." Clemont replied with scratching behind his head as theyy continued their way.

"He only told me that it is someone from Unova." 

"Oh, he told me it was some professor from Unova." Bonnie's words made Serena surprised and she turned to Bonnie.

"When did he told you that?" Serena asked with hopes for more information.

"It is some time. I think when we were in Cyllage city. I came to him that day with we having lunch, when he suddenly stopped his call. I thought he was talking with someone like girlfriend." this made Serena's emotion to jump for a moment, but it wasn't for long. "So I asked, but he wouldn't tell and after I said what I thought, he said it was some professor from Unova. I wanted to know more, but he walked away that time with words to have a lunch." Bonnie's words made no sence.

"I think we shouldn't talk about it. If it something private for Ash or something he doesn't want to talk about, we shouldn't push him into it. After all, he would tell us if it wasn't something like this." Clemont in a way ended this conversation and continued to walk. Bonnie agreed, but Serena had conflict within. She already knew Ash sometimes wouldn't tell about some things like his father until she somehow made him that time with a deal.
