The Kalos Region.
Lumiose City, its central metropolis.
The disc-shaped city's streets and alleys were packed with travelers who had come from far and wide.
"So many people..."
"Dedenne~"
At the top of Prism Tower, Bonnie gazed out through a floor-to-ceiling window.
Dedenne stood on her shoulder, echoing her amazement.
In the two years since she had gone around looking for a bride for her brother, Bonnie had grown into a lively, adorable girl.
Before long, she would probably be old enough to set out on a journey of her own.
Though compared to Wally starting out with Ralts and Misdreavus, her own start might be a little outrageous...
But that was a story for another time.
For now, Bonnie blinked as she searched the crowd for someone.
"Bonnie~~~"
Clemont's voice rang out, plaintive as ever. "It's dangerous by the window. What if you fall?"
Bonnie turned and stuck out her tongue. "I'm looking for Baimu!"
"Baimu? Is he here?"
At the name, Clemont's voice rose. He hurried to the window and peered down at the dense crowd, which looked like a swarm of Joltik.
He adjusted his glasses and searched excitedly, but saw no sign of the handsome young man who had briefly traveled with them—aloof on the outside, warm-hearted within, and an excellent cook.
Bonnie grinned. "Haven't spotted him yet~"
Clemont: "..."
Ding-dong~
His Rotom Phone vibrated.
"A visitor has arrived."
"A visitor?"
Clemont paused. His system used separate procedures for guests and Gym Challenge challengers.
Yet he spent most of his time inventing things at the Lumiose Gym and had very few friends.
Who would come looking for him?
Could it be Ash? Or Serena?
Clemont perked up. Bonnie, unable to contain her curiosity, dashed ahead and took the elevator down to the reception hall.
"Ash? Serena?"
