17x09 - Clemont's got a secret!

[bunniefuu]

We made it to Lumiose City!

The last time I was here,

I didn't have much time to look around,

but this city must be the center of the fashion universe!

All the people are so well dressed!

And Prism Tower is just incredible!

[Clemont] Yeah, it sure is...

[Bonnie] I guess it's okay...

The Lumiose Gym is inside that tower!

So you've already challenged that gym, huh, Ash?

Well, I showed up there and tried to...Pika...

I really wanna have a gym battle, please!

[Clembot] In order to challenge the Lumiose Gym,

you must have accumulated at least four gym badges.

Pika!

Hey, give me a break! Please leave immediately.

That's what happened.

I didn't have four badges, so I couldn't get in.Pikachu.

I had no idea there are gyms where you need four badges just

to be able to challenge them.

Well, since that's the way it is here,

why don't we get out of Lumiose City?Let's go!

But I've been looking forward to exploring Lumiose City!

We can do that stuff next time!

'Kay, let's go!

What are we in such a rush for?Hey, wait!

[Meyer] Well, if it isn't my Clemont and Bonnie!

Dad!Ampharos!

[Ash] Huh, Dad?Pika?

Hey!

[Ash] "Clemont's Got a Secret!"

[Narrator] On their way to Cyllage City, our heroes have made a brief

stop at Lumiose City.

Uh, let me introduce you.

I want you to meet our daddy!

I'm Meyer!

I run an electronics shop in this city along

with Ampharos here.

Amp!

You and Ampharos.

Cool!Pika, Pika!

And these guys here, they're our brand new, super nice,

good friends!

Your friends?

I'm so...

I'm so overcome with happiness, I can't tell you!!

Thank you so much!

My name's Ash, and this is my partner, Pikachu!Pikachu!

Oh, Pikachu!

Nice looking electric cheeks!

Who's this young lady?

I'm Serena.Oh!

So Clemont's finally found himself a beautiful girlfriend.

Gotta keep on eye on you, huh?

Huh?

Uh, Dad, it's not like that!

Daddy, this is Dedenne.

It's my new friend!Dedenne, Dedenne!

So you're an Electric type as well!

Now you listen to me, son.

You should come to the house once in a while!

But Dad, you see...

What?

Is there some reason you haven't come around?

Well, Daddy, we've got things to do, so bye for now!

Wait, Clemont!

I've told you this before...

It's true you need to be tough on challengers,

but that alone isn't going to help them become better

trainers.

You need to be a gym leader the Lumiose Gym can be proud of!

Lumiose Gym?

Gym Leader?

See you soon!

Yes!

All right, sir!

Ash, Serena, please take care of my kids for me.

And don't forget, come visit my shop later!

Uh...

All right, what's this all about?

You see, it's like this...

Well, we might as well just tell them the truth...

[Clemont] The truth is...

...that I really am the gym leader of the Lumiose Gym.

Why didn't you just tell us?

The thing is, I really was planning to tell you eventually.

I'm sorry.

It's a long story...

I was so busy as a gym leader,

I never had the time to invent things like I wanted to...

So I decided to construct a gym leader robot who could help me

fulfill my gym leader responsibilities

and give me more time.

Okay, all done!

Now for the next step, programming.

The first thing to do is gather up my ideals,

and then put them all into your AI.

I want all challengers to have won around four gym badges...

And you need to be kind to the challengers,

but at the same time,

you need to be tough when necessary.

Now I just need to set the voice code.

Anything is fine, so, uh...

"Sandwich!"

[Bonnie]Clemont!

Hurry up, you've got a challenger waiting!

[Clemont] I'll be right there...

Oh no, Clembot!

What'd you make now?

You can start today...

I'm Clemont, the gym leader,

and you're Clembot, the gym leader robot!

Wow!

I wanna see it move!

Sure.

First I'll engage it in a Pokémon battle!

Clembot, activate!

Welcome to the Lumiose Gym.

I'd like to challenge you to a gym battle.

How many badges do you have?

Well, I don't have any badges...

None?

In order to challenge the Lumiose City gym,

you are required to have a minimum of four gym badges.

What?

Your programming should say you'd prefer four gym badges!

Please try again later.

Stop this!

I'll just have to reprogram you instead!

Can you really do that?

I prepared a special mechanism in case of emergency!

Now, Clembot, activate master recognition battle mode!

Voice code will be needed for activation.

If I remember correctly, it was "sandwich."

No, you are wrong.

What? It's "sandwich"!

You're wrong!Incorrect.

Hey, Clemont?

Is there any other way to get your robot to behave?

I don't know!

Please try again later!

[yelling]

Hey!

Clembot!

Come on, open up!

Clembot!

And that's why.

So now you can't get back into your own gym...

I keep on trying, but Clembot won't let anybody without four

gym badges through the entrance.

And he's always out there on the b*ttlefield.

Hey!

Why don't we go back there together and see what we can do?Pika, Pika.

Yeah!

Good idea!

Sure.

What a rip-off!

This is crazy!

Is there something wrong?

You bet there is!

It's this gym!

Did they say you need four badges to challenge?

Yeah, but that wasn't any problem because I already have

four of them.

My opponent was this crazed, powerful robot!

After I lost, it zapped me, the floor opened up,

and I was thrown out of there!

I've had enough of this place!

I'll never come to this gym again!

Being tough alone won't help trainers get better...

Now I understand what Daddy was talking about.Dedenne.

What will you do?

Uh...

[Ash] We know what to do!

We'll just stop that crazy robot, now!

But how?

We can't do a thing without the voice code.

Now try to relax and think carefully.

Even if I remember the password,

I still have to defeat it in battle!

But you won't know unless you give it a try!

No way!

Clembot will have all of my Pokémon

partners to battle me with.

I can't win with my inexperienced Bunnelby...

Well, maybe you can't win, but you can give it your best shot!

I don't know much about robots,

but since you made Clembot in the first place,

maybe you'll come to understand each other in battle.Pika, Pika!

Battling Clembot...

To understand each other?

Clemont, why did you become gym leader in the first place?

Not sure how to explain...

I'll tell them!

In Lumiose City, they call my brother the boy genius

of Electric-types.

I wanted to be an Electric-type Trainer like the world had never

seen, so I became the Lumiose Gym leader.

By running an Electric-type gym, challengers would plan their

strategies accordingly.

I figured if I could still win in spite of the stiff

competition,

perhaps it would make me grow a lot stronger

as an Electric-type trainer!

All the more reason why you need to get your gym back!

She's right!

Taking back this gym is gonna help you grow stronger.

And we'll help!

You're right!

Let's go and see Clembot!

Hey Clemont?

Isn't it awesome that Ash and Serena are here?

Yeah.

If we can get to the b*ttlefield,

we might be recognized as challengers!

[Ash] Pikachu, Iron Tail!Chu, Pika!

Okay, follow me!

Pika!

We don't have much farther to go before

we get to the b*ttlefield.

Let's hurry up!

[Magnemite] Magnemite!

Magnemite!

[Clemont] That's my Pokémon!

Magnemite, it's me!

Magnemite!

Magnemite!

Come on, Magnemite, stop!

Magnemite!

Why is it attacking us?

It's your Pokémon, isn't it?

Yeah, but because Clembot is now the gym leader,

I would guess it ordered Magnemite to

get rid of any intruders!That's awful!

Is it okay if we battle back?

We have no choice!

Froakie, I choose you!

Froak!

Use your Frubbles to stop it from attacking!

Froakie!

Magnemite!

Magnemite...

All right!

Great, Froakie!

[Serena] Ash, over here!Magneton...

A Magneton!

Yeah, that Magneton's mine, too!

Magneton!

Fennekin, help us with Ember!

Fennekin!

It dodged it!

Magnet!

Magneton!

Froakie!

Ton!

Magneton...

Thanks so much, Pikachu and Froakie!Pika!

Froakie, Kie!

Somehow, we finally made it!

Pika?

Welcome to the Lumiose Gym...

Pika!

Clembot!

It's you!

[all] "Who's that Pokémon?"

"It's Heliolisk!"

Heliolisk!

Now, Clembot, activate master recognition battle mode!

First, voice code will be needed for recognition activation.

[Clemont] Relax!

Stay calm...

Do it, Clemont...

There must be some way you can remember!

You can start today.

I'm Clemont, the gym leader.

Voice code entry complete.

Ready to proceed.

The voice code is "you can start today, I'm Clemont,

the gym leader!"

Code recognized.

Master recognition battle mode activated.

All right!

Way to go, Clemont!Pika!

♪♪

Bunnelby, let's go!

Bunnelby!

I will use this Pokémon.

Heliolisk!

Heliolisk!

Lisk, Lisk, Lisk!

Heliolisk?

[Pokedex] Heliolisk, the Generator Pokémon, and the evolved

form of Helioptile

Heliolisk produces enough electricity to power

a large building

and recharges by spreading its frills.

Heliolisk!

My reputation as a gym Leader is resting on this battle.

Heliolisk!

Give it all you've got!

Heliolisk!

Heliolisk.

Thunderbolt!

Clembot's starting out using Thunderbolt!

And that's just what I programmed it to do...

Heliolisk!

Bunnelby, use your ears to defend!

Bunnelby!

Amazing!

Clemont did that back when I battled against him!Pika, Pika!

Bunnelby, Double Slap!

By!

Use Dragon Tail!

Heliolisk!

Helio!

Bunnelby!

Lisk!

Bunnelby!

Now, Bunnelby, Dig!

By, By, By, By, By, By, By!

Use Bulldoze!

Helio!

Bun!

Hold on, I never taught Heliolisk that move!

Clembot taught it to Heliolisk on its own?

Pika?What?

Use Dragon Tail!

Heliolisk.

By!

Bunnelby, you okay?

Bunnel!

[Clemont] Having Heliolisk use Bulldoze like that was a surprise,

but it'll be the same for them dealing

with a new move from us!

Okay, now it's our turn!

Bunnelby, use Double Team!

Bunnelby, By, By!

By, By, By!

By, By!

Heliolisk's just standing there!

I'll bet this works!

Bunnelby, Mud Shot!

Bunnel...

Parabolic Charge!

Heliolith!

Pika!

What kind of move is that?

[Clemont] Parabolic Charge...

It att*cks all opponents in the area,

while restoring energy at the same time.

By!

Bunnelby?

Bunnelby!

Use Thunderbolt!

Heliolisk!

Come on, Clemont, you have to win!

Now, Bunnelby!

Dig, let's go!

By, Bunnelby!

Use Bulldoze!

The same thing will happen all over again!

It's all fnished now!

Dedenne!

No, no way!

Hey! Clemont!

Don't give up 'til it's over!

Right!

If there's one thing I've learned from Ash,

it's thinking outside the box!

Now, Bunnelby!

Use Double Team while you're still underground!

Bunnelby, By!

By, By, By, By, By, By!

Now use Dig!By!

Use Parabolic Charge!

Helio!

All of them disappeared...

Bunnelby...

Pikachu!

Yeah...

Heliolith!

Error, error!

Let's finish this up.

Bunnelby, mud Shot!

Bunnelby!

Lisk...

Pika!Looks like it's all over!

Bunnelby wins!

Clemont was so great!

Dedenne, Dedenne!

Oh Heliolisk, are you okay?

Heliolisk!

Thank goodness!

But, I'm so sorry.

I recognize you now, sir.

Welcome back to the Lumiose Gym.

I'm glad to be back, Clembot.

Because of my faulty programming,

I realize I made a lot of trouble for you, too.

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry.

I think I'll begin work on reprogramming you right now!

First rule: Be modest.

It doesn't matter how many badges a challenger has.

Second rule:

Be kind--even while you're being tough.

And don't forget to give the challenger constructive

advice after the battle!

And the third rule:

Be thoughtful.

Try to help challengers grow their skills.

These are rules every gym Leader needs to follow.

♪♪

[Clemont] I've learned so very much from all of you...

And I want to keep on learning!

Right, Clembot?

Well put, sir.

Sorry.

Now I'm feeling kind of embarrassed...

Hey!

I wanna keep learning with you!

Me too!Dedenne!

Clembot?

Are we friends?

[Clembot] Yes, Ash.

We are friends.

[Serena] Me too!Pika!

Dedenne!

[Meyer] What?

Your robot kicked you out of your own gym?

Daddy, wait until you hear the end of the story!

That's how it was before, but everything's all right now!

It's okay to leave it to Clembot to be the gym leader.

Well, I sure hope that you're right.

So does that mean you'll be coming by the house

more often now?

Amph, Amph!

Visit?

Well, you see, the thing is...

Is there some sort of problem?

Kind of.

Because...

Just tell him, Clemont, now!

Here's the thing.

I'm...

going on a journey!

Since I first met Ash, I've been gaining more and more courage

the longer I travel around with him!

Courage, huh?

That's right.

I've always been afraid to find the courage

to try out new things,

but now I'm feeling completely different!

Wow, Clemont...

I've only been feeling this way for a short time, but I get it!

I've experienced so much, so quickly!

I've had fun, I've been sad...

I've been happy, and scared...

That may not sound like such a big deal,

but I've really started getting in touch with myself,

and that's really, really important to me.

Even if it's only 'til Ash gets to the Kalos League.

It's really important that I travel with him there!

Daddy, I wanna go with Ash and Clemont, too.De, Dedenne!

Dad?

Please, Daddy?

Please?

I'll watch over Bonnie, I promise!

We both promise!

I give you my word that I will take care of the gym and help

out with the house as well.

I'm just so...

I'm just so....

I'm just so proud and happy for you both!

What a joy to have such great kids.

I know I've told you this before:

The most important thing in the world is to have real friends.

As long as you have great friends like Ash and Serena,

I'm not worried about a thing!

All right!

You can go!

Thanks so much, Dad!

I love you, Daddy!

I love you, too.

Now Ash, Serena, promise me you'll keep an eye on these

two and make sure they stay out of trouble, okay?

[Ash and Serena] Yes, sir!

[Meyer] All right!

So for now, it's time to celebrate Clemont and Bonnie's

new journey!

Pika!

Nighty-night.

Night, Bonnie.

Hey Ash, are you sorry you weren't able to challenge

the Lumiose Gym?

Yeah, but back then, you decided that challengers should be

strong enough to have earned four gym badges first, right?

Well, yeah...

Since that's what you wanted, I'll just come back

when I've gotten four of them.Pikachu.

If that's what you want.

[Ash] One thing...

I want the battle to be against you instead of Clembot.

Deal!

I'll make sure I get stronger so I can give you a gym battle

you'll never forget for the rest of your life!

That sounds good to me!

Great!

That's what we'll do!

[laughing]

[Narrator] And so, with renewed determination, Ash, Clemont,

Serena, and Bonnie begin their journey together.

All kinds of new and exciting adventures

await them from here on...

All right.

What do you say we go?

Blaziken!

...as the journey continues!
