The Secret Prince (Amourshipping)

Chapter 17

"Come on everyone this way I see it," cried Bonnie as she excitedly ran down the street. Soon they all arrived at two green cylinders the resembled old phone booths. "Go in Dedenne, you to Pikachu," Clemont urged. The two electric types jumped in, just the inside turned yellow as they were showered with electricity. "Oh wow, it's like an electric shower. How's that feel Pikachu?" Ash asked. "CHA" was the only response as Pikachu and Dedenne danced around happily. "Big brother invented it" "I call it a Clemontic shower, I invented it as a way for electric type Pokemon to be able to absorb or the electricity they need," Clemont said describing the invention. "Just like my Clemont to invent something to help Pokemon," Korrina said with a smile, which made Clemont blush. Bonnie saw this and smiled, she loved seeing all her hard work to find Clemont a wife was finally starting to show some results, but it also made her wonder when she would find her special someone. "Clemont, is that you?" Everyone turn to the direction of the voice to find a young women with blue hair wearing a lab coat. "Eclairisse, it's good to see you again." She then quickly walked to Clemont and then kissed both his cheeks. The others were quite surprised by the kisses, especially the Kalos natives as this was a very old custom that wasn't usually practiced anymore. They didn't notice but Clemont was actually made very uncomfortable by this act. One person who would have benefited from noticing was Korrina, who was feeling a wide range of negative emotions towards this new girl that gave her the urge to beat her senseless, as well as another emotion that she wasn't very familiar with, fear, fear that Clemont liked Eclairisse more than her. "Eclairisse, I'd like you meet my friends, this is Ash and his girlfriend Serena, my little sister Bonnie, and this is my girlfriend Korrina," Clemont said as he put his arm around Korrina's waist and pulled her close to him. This did help ease Korrina's mind, although Eclairisse didn't seem to care. She did think Korrina was pretty, but felt that the attraction ended there.

After asking what Clemont's been up to since he left Eclairisse got a call, "hello. Again, seriously. I'm on my way." "Is something wrong," Clemont questioned. "We've been having issues with the grid for the clemontic showers, we keep losing transformers. We just lost the ninth one this week. We think it's because of a wild Pokemon that's been seen at most of the incidents," explained Eclairisse. "Maybe I can help figure out what's happening, and if it really is the Pokemon that is responsible maybe find out why it's doing that," Clemont offered. "That would be great, come on," Eclairisse said with a big smile. As they made there way they the control building Eclairisse had a smile on her face as she kept looking at Clemont. Korrina saw this as they walked, and held tight onto Clemont's hand to keep herself from knocking that smile off of Eclairisse's face.

Soon they arrived at the control room, when they did a man wearing a blue button up shirt and black pants walked over to them. "Everyone this is Rick. He's the head of facility maintenance. Rick, this is Clemont, the person who invented the Clemontic Shower and designed the system," Eclairisse said. "Nice to meet you Clemont, but I don't think we'll need your help. I'm confident that the Pokemon we keep encountering is responsible." Just then, "sir, we are reading an issue with transformer five, it looks like it's going to blow," said a person sitting at one of the monitors. "Alright I'm on it," said Rick. "If you don't mind we'll join you, maybe we'll be able to help," stated Clemont. Rick nodded and they all ran towards the transformer.

As they for close they were stopped by a bolt of electricity hitting the ground in front of them. When they looked for the source they found it to be a Luxio. "There it is that's the Pokemon," said Rick. Clemont just stared at the Luxio as if he was remembering something, then it hit him, "It's you isn't it." The Luxio stared at Clemont, then it's eyes widened in realization before it turned and ran off. Just seconds later the transformer blew. "You see, he's responsible. That's the only explanation, for some reason he's attacking the transformers and keeping us away so we can't fix it in time," Rick said with anger. "I disagree. If I'm right I know that Luxio, and he wouldn't be destructive like this," stated Clemont. "How do you know Luxio," questioned Korrina. Clemont then proceeded to tell how he met Luxio while he was a student at the local academy and how it inspired him to invent the Clemontic Showers. "We both had the same dream of people and Pokemon living together peacefully, so I don't think he would be responsible for this." "We just saw it with our own eyes, he's responsible," Rick yelled. "Did we? All I saw was him use an attack to stop us, we weren't even hurt. If we got to the transformer I have no doubt somebody would have been." Clemont then turned to Eclairisse, "I'd like to take a look at one of the blown transformers as well as a new one." "Both are in the maintenance room," she responded. With that Clemont and the others walked to the maintenance room, except for Eclairisse and Rick. "Danm kid thinks he's so smart just because he designed this place, but my team and I take care of it, and I know that Luxio is responsible," said Rick. Eclairisse looked at Rick, "what do you suggest?" "Lets get a trainer down here that will help us, let them take care of it," Rick suggested. Eclairisse took a deep breath, "do it." With that Rick left to get a Pokemon trainer. Eclairisse then whispered, "I'm sorry Clemont."
