Clemont and Bonnie went out for groceries, and to their luck, the Shalour Gym Leader, Korrina, was coming for a visit.

"So what's going on with you two?" Korrina asked the siblings. They had stopped by a coffee shop to chat for a while.

"Well, nothing much. The same as usual." Clemont told her.

"Oh yeah! Clemont, how's the new girlfriend, buddy?" Korrina smirked. Clemont seemed shocked about her saying this.

"W-what? How'd y-you know??" Clemont stuttered. She and Bonnie giggled.

"It was all over the Kalos news. 'Lumiose Gym Leader, Friends or Relaltonship?'. The headline made it pretty clear that someone had seen you with a lady friend. And now that we've talked, I see it's true." Korrina explained, with Clemont starting to turn red.

"Yea, Bro's gotta girlfriend now!" Bonnie chirped. Clemont shushed her, which caused her to chatter more.

"Her name's Baby, she's got red hair, and she's great company!" Bonnie told Korrina, while Clemont hid his face.

"Clemont, there's nothing to be ashamed of. You have a girlfriend now. I bet if Ash or Serena were here, they'd be proud of you." Korrina kindly said. Bonnie nodded, and Clemont unburied his face. He laughed a little.

"You want to come over?" Clemont asked Korrina, who agreed to spend the afternoon.

"Clemont. Who is she?" Baby questioned.

"Baby, don't worry. She's a friend from Shalour City." Clemont told her. Baby eyed Korrina, then her look softened.

"Nice to meet ya! Name's Baby, though I'm sure Clem's already told you." She said, shaking Korrina's hand. After Korrina met the others, Clemont went to go cook something.

At dinner, the news came on, and announced that people had spotted Clemont with someone, who was indeed Baby. The news reporter said out of friends or dating, it would most likely be dating.

Baby didn't seem to mind this public accusation. She just kept doing her thing as if she heard nothing. After everyone had finished their dinner, Clemont and Ballora cleaned up the dishes.

"So, what's it like living here?" Korrina asked Baby and her friends.

"Well, it's fairly nice." Funtime Freddy said.

Funtime Foxy nodded. "Clemont keeps us in good spirits. We try our best to help him out."

Korrina looked at the clock. "Oh crap! I gotta leave!" She opened the door, only to find it pouring rain, as well as thundering.

"Well great. I guess I got to stay here for the night." Korrina sighed.
