Hiya squiggly! I always love when you open your requests, so I’m really excited for this! This time Clemont is the (unlucky) winner of my attention, so may I request something with him? I know that’s pretty vague, but the only thing I could think of was a comfort thingy with him and the reader, but I know you already have one of those written (very lovely by the way!) so maybe something with him and Bonnie? They have such a cute dynamic! Whatever you decide, I’m sure it’ll be great! Once again, my apologies that this is kinda vague, but thanks for taking the request and have a great day (or night!) -⚡️
BABIES! Ahh god I love these two so much, your honor! Originally this fic was gonna be angst with some comfort elements, but after thinking on it I revamped the entire thing and just made it sibling fluff and happiness cause yes. I've gotcha covered, friend!

Bonnie bit down a sigh as she watched her brother disappear once more in his room, the door shutting with a soft click. It’s been nearly two months since Ash left for Alola, and ever since there seemed to be a permanent cloud hung over Clemont’s shoulders.
Sure, Ash wrote to them anytime he could, and those letters always seemed to brighten him up, but it didn’t seem like the joy lasted that long. As quickly as it came, her brother was back to quietly moping; putting on a brave face when needed but ever stuck in his head.
“Brrr?” Dedenne bumped Bonnie’s hand, snuggling close as the girl carefully picked them up.
“Yeah, I think you’re right. I’m worried for Clem.” She hummed softly, rocking on her heels. “It’s not good for him to stay in all the time. He’ll just keep working on his inventions until he drops.”
More thoughts passed, when suddenly she had an idea.
“I know what to do.”
~~~
“B-Bonnie?” Clemont blinked when he found her in front of his door a week later- spread out like a starfish against the cool wood. “What are you doing?”
“I’m blocking you out! You’re not going in there today!” She declared, puffing her cheeks stubbornly like her Dedenne- who interestingly enough was also posed exactly like her. “You’ve been hiding away in your room long enough! It’s time we had a day out!”
“Huh? Yeah- sure, that sounds fine. But I-” He gestured, but Bonnie was already grabbing his arm, pulling him along.
“No buts! You’re coming- right now!” She declared, marching him to the door with such determination he was forced to follow along. “We’ve got the whole day planned out, isn’t that right, Dedenne?”
“Chew!” The mouse squeaked in glee, bouncing beside them as they left their humble home.
“Oh dear..” Clemont sighed, accepting his fate as the warm sunshine touched his cheeks. When his sister wanted something, it was best to go with it.
~~~
Luminous City had many attractions. While it was especially dazzling at night, it didn’t fall short during the day. Bonnie skipped ahead, her hand in her his as they passed by crowds and Pokemon alike. Billboards flashed various advertisements: one about an electric gym leader from overseas caught his attention the most. She looked strong.
“Oo, it’s Iono! Word is she might appear in Kalos soon! They say she’s gonna make her debut here in Luminous City! Be ready, Clem- you might have some stiff competition when she arrives!” Bonnie grinned over her shoulder as they watched her add play for the hundreds of faces watching alongside them. “She’s pretty. Hey- you should totally ask her out when she gets here! I could have a famous streamer as my sister!”
“B-Bonnie! That’s not- whoa!” Clemont went to argue, but Bonnie had pulled him further until they stopped before a familiar place.
“Here we are!” She cried, arms high and smiling big as she did a twirl before the steps. “The Luminous museum! Home of all kinds of funny machines!”
Clemont gaped, eyes wide as he stared at the building. “Wha…Bonnie, are you sure about this?”
“Why would I not be?” She tilted her head curiously, confused. “Do you not want to be here? I already got tickets.”
“What- no, no not at all! I’m just- oh, nevermind. Come on!” Like a little kid in a candy store, Clemont practically sprinted to the doors, just barely grabbing the ticket Bonnie gave him. Behind him, he could hear her giggling.
~~~
“Bonnie look! This is amazing!” Clemont called out to her, eyes sparkling like gems as he pointed at some rather unique contraption. Bonnie couldn’t make heads or tails of it. Even her brother’s explanation- well, ramblings- didn’t help her understand its purpose.
Smiling and nodding, she let herself look around, taking in the sights around her when-
“Whoa!” She gasped, eyes big as she pointed. “Look at THAT!”
“That” turned out to be a massive Dedenne plush- the ones that cost a pretty penny in the toy stores around Luminous. It was perched with a number of other plushes and prizes as two men gathered a crowd.
“Come one, come all! Guess how many Magnemites are behind the screen and win a prize!” The man in white called out, charming the audience with a dazzling smile.
“Play as many times as you wish; but don’t get too cocky. The number changes after every win! Let’s see who’ll win the first game!” The man in black added, winking and making the crowd giggle. Bonnie felt her heart race with excitement- a guessing game!
“Wow, that must be hard to do.” She mused, finding herself joining the crowd. Next to her, Clemont was quiet with calculation, eyes flickering and mouth moving in silent numbers. “I bet it’s gonna take all morning to guess-”
“You there- the boy in the jumper! What is your guess?” The man in white called out, surprising Bonnie. She looked up at her brother as he raised his hand.
“27 Magnemites.” He said confidently. People blinked, looking towards the pair.
The screen fell back, revealing…
“That’s correct!” The man in white announced, the buzzing pokemon floating about the room and dazzling the crowd. “Come forward, sir and claim your prize!”
“Can my sister pick? I want her to have it.” He asked, gently bringing Bonnie forward. She looked back at him with wide eyes, finding him gently smiling at her.
“Are you sure?” She asked softly, brows furrowing when he nodded. After a moment looking over the prizes, she nodded.
“Okay- I know what I want.”
~~~
“Bonnie..you really didn’t have to.” Clemont looked down at the Heliolisk plush in his arms. He didn’t see it when he got there, but all but gaped when she returned with it. “You could have got your Dedenne. That’s what you wanted, right?”
“I liked Heliolisk more.” She shrugged causally, skipping along. “You always use it when you battle- he’s your favorite, right?”
“Well- one of them, yeah..” He couldn’t deny the joy he felt when she gave him the plush. It was so soft and cuddly, the perfect shape and stitching too.
Only… “Hey Bonnie-”
“OH!” She squealed suddenly, pointing at a stand nearby. “Crepes!”
His stomach growled involuntarily, making him blush. Bonnie giggled as she ran over before he could stop her.
Clemont hummed in thought as he watched her order them, his thoughts running wild.
~~~
“Mmm! I love crepes! This has been such a great day!” She smiled around her snack, cheeks pink and smile big as the flavors melted on her tongue. “What do you want to do next, Clem?”
“Bonnie..” Clemont’s voice made her pause, halfway through with her bite. “What’s really going on?”
Chewing slowly, she looked out at the people passing by, thinking of her answer. “Nothing really- I just really wanted to spend the day with you, that’s all.”
“I don’t think it’s just that. You took me to the Luminous museum- where we spent the majority of the morning in the inventions section- then when we won that game, you picked out my favorite Pokemon instead of yours. Then you went ahead and bought us crepes even though I know you love ice cream and I could have paid.” He narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “So what’s actually going on?”
Caught. Red handed- no passing go. Bonnie ducked her head in defeat. “Okay, you caught me. I wanted to cheer you up.”
“...What?” He blinked, surprised. Bonnie nodded.
“You’ve been so sad since Ash left; don’t tell me you haven’t- I know you.” He shut his mouth before any denial could escape. “I didn’t like seeing you like that, so I had this idea that if I took you to all your favorite places today, you’d be less sad.” She dared a peek, hiding some behind her crepe. “Did…did it work?”
Clemon gaped at her, then he laughed. “Boohonnie! Oh my- come here.” He reached out, pulling his sister close and hugging her gently. “Bonnie, you’re too sweet. I love you so much.”
“Heh, I love you too, big bro.” She grinned, hugging him back and relaxing in his arms. “Seems like you’re finally returning to normal, huh?”
“I do feel better. Thank you- really. I hadn’t realized I looked so sad; sorry for worrying you.” He patted her head gently as he let her go, watching her finish off her crepe. “I’ll be okay- we both will. I know Ash isn’t here right now, but he’s always willing to visit. Maybe we’ll see him again some time, yeah?”
“Hehe, for sure!” She tapped her last bite of crepe with his, finishing it with a smile. With their snack finished, Clemont got up, dusting off his hands and offering one to her.
“Come on- let’s go back to the museum.”
“You're gonna look at all those inventions again, huh?”
“Nope- there’s a Dedenne plush there I want to win. The guy said we can play as many times as we want, right?” He smiled at her booming grin, laughing when she practically dragged him there.

Bonnie was asleep, her new plush cuddled against her chest and her actual pokemon resting on top. Clemont smiled at her as he quietly shut her door, returning to his own room. Their day was a great one- more sight seeing around town followed by food stands and games; his feet hurt at some point but his heart was happy.
As he closed his door, his phone pinged, a familiar name across the notification.
Wanna V.Chat?
Laughing, he texted back his response before setting up at his computer, smiling as the ocean greeted his eyes.
“Aloha from Alola!” Ash cheered as he came into view, dressed in shorts and one of the local flower shirts. He was already radiating tourist energy. “Clem! I was wondering when I was gonna hear from you today!”
“Heh, sorry- I got busy.” He leaned in his hands as he took in Ash’s face. He had only been there for a short time, but his skin was bronzed and his smile was all the more radiant. It was a comforting sight to hold. “I meant to call you earlier, but Bonnie decided we were having a day together.
“Aww! That sounds so fun!’ Ash grinned as he sat down on the sand, adjusting his camera accordingly. “No worries- I was getting over the jetlag anyway. I don’t think I would have been as talkative then vs now.” That and the time zone difference meant it was easier to call at this hour. While Clemont’s sun was setting, Ash’s was just coming up. “You look happy.”
“Oh-” The blonde suddenly felt guilty. “Sorry-”
“Don’t apologize. I’m glad you’re happy.” The brunette smiled at him- genuine and warm like the sun. It never failed to make him blush. “Seeing you doing so good makes me happy; you tend to overwork yourself a lot. Try not to push it.”
“Are you and Bonnie secretly coordinating?” He asked with a raised brow, making Ash laugh. Oh what a bright sound. “I really should tell her I’ve been calling you. She was worried about me today- she’s gonna be angry when she finds out we’re in touch.”
“Hehe, maybe.” Ash laughed again, somewhat sheepish. “Hey- why don’t we make it a monthly thing? The three of us, Serena- we can all get on call together and catch up? I think it would be nice.”
“Yeah- that sounds good. Do you want me to share this number?”
“Nah. We can make a new one.” Ash decided, much to Clemont’s surprise. “I like this one being just us, you know? Call me what you want but…I kinda only wanna see your face right now.”
Clemont blushed more, and even Ash’s cheeks were red. If they were in person, the blonde could picture him gently brushing back his bangs, leaning in to-
“Hey uh- I’ve actually been meaning to ask you something.” Ash jumped in when the silence stretched, coughing some. He was clearly thinking the same thing. “This summer the place I’m staying at opens up to visitors. You can rent it out and have people stay for a month or so.” Ash fiddled with his hands, cheeks on fire as he shyly smiled at the camera. “Do you..want to come by? I mean to visit I mean.”
Clemont stared, taking in the new information with wide eyes. Ash quickly scrambled.
“I mean- if you want to! We can bring Bonnie and Serena- or just us, wait stop that Ketchum- but yeah! I can get the arrangements made; I’ve done some favors here and can get you a good deal on the rooms- why are you laughing?” Ash blinked as Clemont giggled helplessly, hands over his mouth and cheeks pink.
“I’m just- I’m just so happy right now.” He smiled, looking up at Ash’s eyes in the camera. “Yes. I’d love to see you this summer. If you’d have me.”
Ash brightened, nodding. “Of course I will! It’s a date.”
Was at a party and one of the guys there was happy-and-hyper drunk, so i was being a little shit and poking his sides and stomach constantly, and he kept squealing unreasonably loudly. It was hilarious
Didn't get any retaliation unfortunately but was still fun :)
Do you ever feel guilty for letting others know you are feeling sad, depressed, or needy of their love? Yeah, me too. It makes me feel like an annoyance, a burden, or just “too much” for the other people in my life, especially for how frequent these feelings tend to fester in me. It’s why I tend to keep my sadness to myself...I have lost too many friends in my life just by opening up and showing them all of the sadness, fear, and doubt I carry with me.
And yet I let others come to me with their problems and sadness and I give all of the support and love that I can muster to help them...probably because I wish the same could be returned without fear of losing people (again).
At the end of the day I just want to feel needed, useful, wanted, and loved.
I swear, i have been defending Nimona on r/place with all that i have, and now they are trying to drown her in white, if i wake up tomorrow and she's gone i am giving up on everything >:(
Kunigami x Chigiri/Kunigiri: The hero and the princess! I really like these two- the way they interact with one another in the anime is great, and I love their nicknames for one another!
Isagi x Rin: This is purely AO3's fault (I'll link the fic later; AO3's acting weird)- there's a ridiculously cute fic on there with these two and I now ship it. Have they interacted beyond one match in the anime yet? No. Do I think they'd work? Heck yeah!
Now for Platonic ships!
Chigiri & Nagi: MY HEART??? I've seen manga panels that show they bond and it's so freaking wholesome??? Also I have no idea how canon this is- but the idea of them teaming up to drive Barou up a wall is absolutely hilarious.
Bachira & Isagi: I love them? I adore them, really. Bachira is just so whimsical and Isagi looks the type to just roll with it, so the chaos I'd imagine they get into makes me so happy! Also the way they interact in the anime is so precious and funny!
Now for random ships:
Reo/Nagi- I like them? I'm not wildly feeling it, but I can see the appeal! I like them both platonically and romantically :); Kuon/Raichi: Listen-LISTEN...I have no explanation for this one. I just kinda vibe with it? Not my top ship but if I see it, I like it! I can't say more for spoiler reasons but...yeah. Alot of feelings about that one.
There's probably more, but those are the immediate pairs that come to mind! Thanks for asking!
Not me being unable to join all these tagging games because i don't have any mutuals, don't know enough people and am just generally too scared to tag people :(
