Ash is fascinated by all of Clemont's inventions and tells him how impressed he is, even when they inevitably end up exploding. Being the eating machine that he is, he's also impressed by Clemont's cooking and is sure to tell him so. Ash puts an arm around Clemont's shoulder fairly often which sometimes makes the inventor / gym leader blush. Although she constantly tries to find women to "take care of her brother," some people have interpreted a few things Bonnie's said to mean that Clemont doesn't actually swing that way.

My thoughts - The reason for the 2/5 is because I don't ship Ash and Clemont romantically. However, I abso-freakin-lutely love these two together for having the most epic bromance ever. So I really love diode, but for the sake of viewer understanding I've rated it low because I ship them for being best bros.
