==Personality==

Clemont is recognized as a very keen inventor, even though his devices don't always function as planned. Throughout the entirety of XY anime, Clemont's devices are known to explode, either instantly or after functioning for a brief time before short-circuiting and then exploding. Regardless of this, he is dedicated to the field science and is known to be one of the greatest students at his school. Although Clemont enjoys science, he may fear something if it defies logic. Another one of Clemont's fears includes standing in front of a camera, also known as photophobia. This is known to make Clemont blush, and Clemont is also blushes whenever Bonnie asks a girl to take care of him.

  +
  +
His rather asocial side, which is evident through his photophobia, shows that he is a humble but also bashful person who struggles in socializing with others. It can be a merit such as when a disguised Team Rocket trio praised his invention, he shyly thanked them; but mostly it is a flaw, such as how he immediately though Chespin would prefer [[Carrie (XY015)|Carrie]] over him after seeing Chespin having a good time on chowing down her snacks.
  +
  +
Clemont takes his job as a Gym Leader very seriously. This is especially shown when Team Flare attempts to invade the Lumiose City Gym to use it for their own personal gain. Clemont tried everything in his power to take back what is rightfully his.
  +
  +
He is also an older brother that loves and cares for Bonnie deeply. He tends to supervise Bonnie to prevent her from running away too far, and also moderates and checks on her health and well-being. He always sees protecting her as his first priority. However, he usually gets flustered whenever Bonnie tries to do matchmaking for him, roasts the unreliability of his inventions or simply refuses to obey him.

However, Clemont was forced to go to a party in his honor which led Luxray to believe that he abandoned him. Years later, Clemont would see his friend again as a [[Luxio]] and sees that his friend didn't trust him, after breaking his words during his childhood. However, Clemont was able to earn Luxray's forgiveness as he asked him to come with him which he accepted. After that, Clemont and Luxary's bond for each other remained unbroken from that point on.

Clemont is the Gym Leader of Lumiose City. When he first met Ash he had a battle with him. For a time, during their travels together, Ash was unaware of the fact he was the Gym Leader. When Ash and Serena found out, he told them about how one of his inventions got hold of his Gym after it went online.

When introducing his inventions, Clemont usually announces "The future is now, thanks to science! Clemontic Gear, ON!" while Ash, enthralled, will exclaim that "Wow, science is so amazing!", even though the names of the inventions are mostly redundantly long just to fit with their respective functions.
  +
  +
But, as a running gag, most of his new devices ends up exploding for various reasons (mostly relating to them going over-their-limit), which often leads to the group facing the aftermath of the explosions.

The future is now, thanks to Science!

Clemont

Clemont is a character appearing in the Pokémon the Series, who is the Gym Leader of Lumiose City in the Kalos region. He gives out the Voltage Badge to those who beat him or Clembot. He lives in the Kalos region and a friend of Ash Ketchum. Clemont and his younger sister Bonnie joined Ash on his journey throughout Kalos, and eventually, he and Bonnie part ways with Ash after Ash decided to head to the Alola region.

Appearance

This section, or a part of it, has been transcluded from Clemont; any changes involving it should be made there instead. / 

Clemont is a short and skinny young boy with fair skin, gray eyes (in contrast to his anime counterpart, who has blue eyes), and messy medium-length bright yellow hair with a lightning-bolt shaped tuft on top. Outfit-wise, Clemont wears clothes that make him resemble a stereotypical geek or nerd. His outfit consists of large round glasses which obscure his eyes, black shoes with white soles, and a yellow-collared skin-tight blue jumpsuit with yellow stripes on the knees and bottom cuffs. Additionally, Clemont also sports a backpack-like cybernetic contraption (which he invented himself) on his back. The contraption has two robotic extensions that Clemont uses to absorb solar and lunar energy - naturally, one appears to resemble the sun, while the other resembles the moon. The white moon-like contraption (known as the "Aipom Arm") is also used to grip and hold objects like an extra hand.

Underneath his clothes, Clemont wears a white tank top, white socks with blue stripes, and light blue bloomers with horizontal dark blue stripes and a matching ribbon.

Personality

Clemont is recognized as a very keen inventor, even though his devices don't always function as planned. Throughout the entirety of XY anime, Clemont's devices are known to explode, either instantly or after functioning for a brief time before short-circuiting and then exploding. Regardless of this, he is dedicated to the field science and is known to be one of the greatest students at his school. Although Clemont enjoys science, he may fear something if it defies logic. Another one of Clemont's fears includes standing in front of a camera, also known as photophobia. This is known to make Clemont blush, and Clemont is also blushes whenever Bonnie asks a girl to take care of him.

His rather asocial side, which is evident through his photophobia, shows that he is a humble but also bashful person who struggles in socializing with others. It can be a merit such as when a disguised Team Rocket trio praised his invention, he shyly thanked them; but mostly it is a flaw, such as how he immediately though Chespin would prefer Carrie over him after seeing Chespin having a good time on chowing down her snacks.

Clemont takes his job as a Gym Leader very seriously. This is especially shown when Team Flare attempts to invade the Lumiose City Gym to use it for their own personal gain. Clemont tried everything in his power to take back what is rightfully his.

He is also an older brother that loves and cares for Bonnie deeply. He tends to supervise Bonnie to prevent her from running away too far, and also moderates and checks on her health and well-being. He always sees protecting her as his first priority. However, he usually gets flustered whenever Bonnie tries to do matchmaking for him, roasts the unreliability of his inventions or simply refuses to obey him.

Etymology

The name Clemont comes from "lemon" as the acidic properties of lemons means they can be used to make simple batteries. It may also derive from "inclement," as in "inclement weather," which may refer to lightning storms.

His Japanese name, Citron, it literally "citron", French for lemon. It also contains "tron," a suffix commonly used in the names of machines.

Skills

Meyer is Clemont and Bonnie's father. He saw potential in Clemont as an Electric-type prodigy when he was younger which gave him the idea of sending him to a school to study them and make friends, who was very glad that he did. Meyer has told Clemont how proud he is of him when he became the Lumiose City Gym Leader and when he decided to go on a journey with his friends to help him grow as both a Gym Leader and Trainer.

Clemont and Bonnie both deeply care about each other, but they do fight sometimes due to being siblings, mostly when Bonnie disobeys him. Clemont gets upset and even angry when Bonnie wanders off or gets into trouble, and often is far behind from the others. Still, Clemont is very affectionate towards her, hugging her when she is afraid or holding her hand, and aware of her physical needs, as shown when he makes her eat her vegetables, even though she doesn't like them. Clemont is very protective of her, and puts her safety above all else, even risking his own life to do so on some occasion. Clemont takes the responsibility of caring for Bonnie. Also, Clemont can get very annoyed when Bonnie asks girls to care of him, even though he knows that she was just trying to help him, as he gets so embarrassed that he would pull her away with his Aipom arm on the back of his backpack.

With Ash's help he managed to bring it back under control and get his Gym back.[2]

Clemontic Gear

Clemont's Bag

Clemont's Bag.

Main article: Clemontic Gear

Clemontic Gear (Japanese: シトロニクギア, Hepburn: Citronic Gear) are the inventions created by Clemont in order to accomplish various kinds of tasks. Most of his inventions are stored inside of his Bag.

When introducing his inventions, Clemont usually announces "The future is now, thanks to science! Clemontic Gear, ON!" while Ash, enthralled, will exclaim that "Wow, science is so amazing!", even though the names of the inventions are mostly redundantly long just to fit with their respective functions.

But, as a running gag, most of his new devices ends up exploding for various reasons (mostly relating to them going over-their-limit), which often leads to the group facing the aftermath of the explosions.
