What If Ash was in Pokemon Horizons?

The Prankster

The sounds of buzzing tools ring overhead as Clemont screws in a bolt on Clem-Bot's arm. "There you go, all fixed up!" Clemont said proudly.

"Thank you, Clemont." Clem-Bot said as he walked off.

The Gym Leader hears a loud groan, turning to see his little sister sitting on a nearby bench. "Finally! That took so long!" Bonnie whined.

Clemont chuckled, "Well, when you're finally brave enough to go on your own journey, then you can make the rules."

Bonnie groaned as Clemont's Rotom Phone raised to Clemont's eye level.

"You have a call from: Iono"

Clemont raised an eyebrow, "The Gym Leader in Paldea? What could she need?"

Clemont answered the call, Bonnie hiding away acting as if Clemont couldn't see her. "Yo yo! What is up Electric Gym Leader of Kalos!" 

"Hello Iono," Clemont said shakily, off-put by Iono's upbeat tone. "How can I help you?"

"So, I got this huge drama going on in Levincia, a random force is hitting people and Pokemon and making them super angry! Check out this clip."

Clemont watched as Iono inserted a video into the call, seeing people walking down a Levincia street with their Pokemon, when a sudden shadow strikes them, leaving behind a faint pink mist and hurting the attacked Pokemon, badly, like they faint on the spot badly.

"Woah, that is peculiar." Clemont commented.

"Right?" Iono replied, "And my friend Dot noticed something." The video rewinds to the figure attacking and zooms in. Revealing the attacker to be a Stunfisk.

"So, why do you need my help?"

"Well, Dot says Stunfisk is probably under total Laquium control! And from what Dot tells me, these Explorer guys seem just as bad as those Team Flare guys!"

Clemont's eyes widened, "Just as bad as Team Flare?!"

"Duh! Which is why i wanna get a hero who saved Kalos from them to help out! And who better than a fellow Electric lover!"

Clemont regained his composure. "So, then, I guess I'll be seeing you two at Levincia?"

"Oh..." Iono winced, "I can't be there, the schedule of Iono is always a packed one. So you and Dot get to tag team!" With that, she ended the call.

Clemon turned back, coming face to face with his sister, who was attempting to perfect her baby doll eyes.

"You wanna come, dont you?"

"Please..." Bonnie scooted up to her brother. 

Clemont chuckled, "Alright, alright. But we better leave now, we got a long flight ahead of us."

The sibling duo were walking the Levincia streets a few hours later, finding a girl with purple hair alongside a Quaxwell who notices them.

"You Clemont?"

Yes." Clemont nodded, "And this is my little sister, Bonnie. Are you Dot?"

"Yep, nice to meet you." The two shook hands, lowering to their knees when Bonnie complained about being excluded. 

"So, what's the plan?" Clemont asked.

"We're gonna wait around for someone to get hit and-" Dot began to explain, only for a figure to hit Quaxwell hard and dart off into a nearby alleyway.

"THERE IT WAS! GO! GO! GO!" Dot commanded, dashing into the alleyway herself, the others following close behind.

The group come to a quick halt, finding the Stunfisk they've seen go to... A bigger Stunfisk? Though they spot a human head, so a big Stunfisk costume, the trainer holds his phone with a childish excitement.
