Diodeshipping is the name for Ash (Satoshi) and Clemont (Citron).


Nobody's pov

Ash, Clemont, Serena and Bonnie have arrived at a Pokémon center. They decide to have some vacation and stay here for a while. Ash sits on a bench outside.

Clemont: "Hey Ash, the girls are checking out the shops. What do you want to do?"

Ash: "The girls are shopping without us? Why is that?"

Clemont: "Because I told them they could have a girl's moment. Anyway, you know what would happen if we joined them. Bonnie always tries to find me some nice clothes. I'm perfectly fine with the ones I wear now."

Ash starts to laugh. "You know, I think you're right. I'm glad you managed to let them go without us. Let's have a boy moment then? What do you want to do?"

Clemont sits next to Ash on the bench. "I don't know, how about spending this time to get to know each other?"

Ash: "To get to know each other? Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

The inventor starts to blush. "Ma-aybe a-about you kno-ow."

Ash looks at the blonde. "Sorry, can you repeat that?"

Clemont: "I was hoping we could ta-alk about personal stuff."

Ash: "Why are you stuttering? Clemont, you're my best friend. You can tell me anything. So, personal stuff huh? Do you have a crush?"

Clemont sighes. "Thanks Ash and no I don't have a crush. I never kissed someone before. I was wondering if you've already done that. Maybe you can give me some advice?"

Ash: "I never kissed someone either. And to be honest I have no idea how I should do that. Do you know how kissing is supposed to work?"

Clemont smiles. "No, that's why I was asking you about it. So we have never kissed. Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Ash: "No, I never had one. What about you?"

Clemont: "If I ever had one, Bonnie would have made sure she wouldn't run away. I never met the right person I guess. I know Bonnie wants me to be happy but sometimes it really gets annoying."

Ash: "Yeah, I figured that out. I'm glad I don't have a sister doing that."

Clemont and Ash laugh with this.

Clemont: "So never kissed, no girlfriends. Have you ever been in love?"

Ash thinks about this one. "I don't know. Sometimes I think someone is beautiful but it never feels like I want to be with that person forever. I guess that's not being in love. Has someone stolen your heart?"

Clemont: "I don't know either. I feel the same. You always hear people talking about being in love. I guess if it feels that special that I should have known if I ever was in love."

The boys sit in silence together.

Clemont is the first one to break it. "Hey Ash, have you ever tried to flirt with someone?"

Ash: "No I haven't tried anything yet. I'm sure that when I am a Pokémon master I don't have to try. The girls will fall for me, believe me."

This makes the inventor laugh so hard that he falls of the bench.

Clemont: "Do you really think that? I can only imagine all these girls screaming for you. Let me tell you something. I am a gym leader and the girls only notice your power. Do you want to be with someone that doesn't care about who you really are? Do you want them to only see you as the Pokémon master but not as Ash, the kind trainer? Ash, who is always supportive of his friends? I don't want anyone to be with me for what I have. I want them to like me for who I am."

Ash: "I never thought about it that way. You're right, they need to like me for me. What about you, have you ever tried to flirt?"

The blonde sits back next to his friend on the bench. "That's not a good story."

The Pokémon trainer gets curious. "I won't tell anyone else. I'm curious, maybe I can learn something from it."

Clemont: "I don't think so. It was Bonnie, again. She forced me to ask this girl which perfume she liked most and then I had to buy it for her. I was so afraid and confused that I ended up asking a guy which perfume he liked. He told me 'Afraid your girl won't like it? If that girls love you then any perfume will be an amazing gift. My girlfriend likes this one the most.' I bought it and gave it to Bonnie. She couldn't believe how I screwed it up."

Ash puts his arm on Clemont shoulder. "That's a nice story. At least you tried something. It's sad we don't know more about flirting and kissing. That information could be useful. I don't want to ask the girls about it. Do you know where to find some answers?"

Clemont thinks about it. "Bonnie always talks about stuff she reads in these magazines. We could try to buy a teenage girl magazine and read it. I never saw anything like this in the boy magazines."

Ash: "That sounds like a great idea. So, who's going to buy it?"

Clemont: "I'm scared to do this. It's a girl magazine, what will the shop owner think of me?"

Ash winks. "That you have a girlfriend or a sister."

Clemont blushes. "I see the girls coming to us. They won't leave us alone anymore. How about I stop them from following you and you buy it?"

"Okay, see you later." Ash walks away to find the nearest shop that has magazines.
