Author's note: I'M ALIVE!...but enjoy
"Hey look, there's Lumiouse City!", Courajiro exclaimed.
"That tower's big!", Eddie exclaimed.
As they were looking at the tower in awe, a boy stepped out of it.
"Are you three by any chance the ones that helped out Korrina?", he asked.
They faced him and nodded.
"In that case, nice to meet you!", he told them.
"Wait, you're Korrina's friend?", Katie asked.
"Yep! I'm the gym leader here. My name's Clemont!"
"Well, maybe we should introduce ourselves. I'm Katie, this is Bear, and that's Eddie."
"Why don't you three come in here? We can talk about you situation in detail then."
They stepped into the building and passed through the cylinders, with something peeking from behind one.
The group stepped into the gym, looking around in awe.
"This looks NOTHING like Korrina's gym!", Bear exclaimed.
"Each gym is branded to what the gym leader of that place specializes in.", Clemont explained.
Elekid came out of his pokeball.
"Ele!"
"I see you raise an electric type. He looks quite jumpy, you must be raising him well!"
"Uh, really? Thanks!", Bear blushed.
"I should test these suspicious folk, I have to make sure not to let the same thing that happened a few months ago happen again!"
Lie-in, Courajiro, and Sandmeh barely managed to catch a glimpse of the yo-kai before it began to inspirit Clemont.
"...I challenge you.", he suddenly says.
"Wait... aren't you gonna help us? We aren't here for a battle dude.", Eddie tried to tell him.
"If he wins, I'll help you. If I win, you all leave, understand?"
The yo-kai pull the others to the side.
"He's inspirited. Play along with his game Bear, and we'll figure out this yo-kai's deal. Got it?", Lie-in asked.
"Fine."
He turns to face him.
"I'll fight you, but it has to be one v one. Got it?"
"Understood"
The two were soon face each other on different sides of the battlefield.
Standing to the side was Katie and Eddie, while a robot was standing next to them.
"Who is that robot?", Katie asked.
"I am Clembot. I was a robot that once ran this gym for a while while Clemont was away, but some of that memory is pretty vague to me."
"A vague memory?", Eddie asked.
"Oh that's right! A while back, something really bad was going on here, and it involved an evil group trying to mind control a Zygarde of all things! Word got out from a yo-kai in here at the time that Clembot had to be used to stop the machine mind controlling it. As a result, he lost his memories.", Sandmeh answered.
"That sounds horrible!"
Katie and the others soon turned to face the battlefield.
"Alright, each of you gets to use one pokemon. The pokemon that faints first loses, do you understand?", Clembot asked.
They both gave a nod.
"Alright, battle begin!"
"Ready Magnemite?", Clemont asked as he threw his pokeball in the air, releasing Magnemite.
"A Magnemite?"
"That's right, Bear." Lie-in told him as he pulled out his pokedex.
"Magnemite: the magnet pokemon. Magnemite will move while hovering constantly. It discharges thunderwave from the units on its sides."
"A Magnemite eh? Lets go Elekid!"
With the toss of his pokeball, Elekid appeared.
"Alright, in that case, battle begin!" Clembot declared.
"Elekid, thunder shock let's go!"
At first, the other two didn't do anything.
Then with just a flash of his eyes, he told Magnemite to use magnet bomb.
"Shoot, Elekid, try not to let them hit you!"
He tried to run from them, only to get hit in the back.
"The attack didn't even touch them! How can we defeat them?"
He then thought of an idea.
"Alright. Elekid, go straight for Magnemite using quick attack!"
It wasn't long before Magnemite got told to use another round of magnet bomb.
With the help of quick attack, Elekid was able to lead them back to Magnemite, hitting him.
"Now brick break!" Bear ordered.
Before Magnemite was able to react, Elekid slammed his hand down on it.
It crashed to the ground, and fainted.
"Magnemite is unable to battle! Bear and Elekid are the winners!" Clembot announced.
Some of the yo-kai then noticed something.
They finally got a good look at who was inspiriting Clemont: a dog yo-kai.
He was standing next to him, stomping his foot on the ground.
"Argh, I just can't chase you away can I?!"
The others soon approached him.
"Why?" Sandmeh asked.
He then realized everyone was staring at him.
"...Well, you see...how do I put this..." he looked down for a second.
"I'm...Clembot's missing memories."
At first everyone was quiet.
While Clembot himself looked confused, Clemont crouched down.
"So why are you trying to chase people away from here?"
The dog looked at him.
"I don't want bad people like Team Flare coming through here and making people suffer ever again. I became a yo-kai because of them."
What immediately followed was him giving the dog a hug.
He just froze for a second.
After that was over, he finally introduced myself.
"...Anyway, my name is Glitchgrowl. Thank you for the kindness, here's my medal."
He walked towards Bear and handed him his medal.
"So, now what did you need help with?" Clemont brought up.
Back on the path, Bonnie and the others arrive in Cyllage City.
"So this is where we enter the competition, right?" Inaho asked her.
"Right, now let's go!"
They then ran to the Pokemon Center to register for the contest.
