Chapter 20: Bonnie's Big Mistake

As Clemont was doing his shopping, Bonnie and Clemont's Chespin wandered from the inventor when he wasn't looking. Even though Bonnie was glad Pikachu and Fifi were going to the dance together, she wasn't entirely happy. She hadn't take Fleur La Fume's words seriously. "It's not fair. Clemont is so stubborn, not wanting to pick a wife. Ash and Serena are dating. And Pikachu finally has the courage to go out with Fifi. But Clemont has no one. I know that either Elmyra or Bimbette would make a perfect wife for Clemont. Maybe he can show Elmyra how to properly take care of animals, including Pokémon. And she can probably forget about trying to catch Fifi," said Bonnie. "Ches?" asked Chespin.

At that moment, Bonnie saw Bimbette through the window of an ice cream parlor. The pink skunkette was drowning her sorrows in ice cream at an ice cream parlor after Pikachu chose Fifi over her. "That's a lot of ice cream that you're eating, Bimbette," said the Proprietor. "I know. But it's the only think I could think of to drown my sorrows after last night's heartbreak. The Pikachu I had a crush on likes Fifi instead of me," complained Bimbette. She eat another spoonful of ice cream. "What does Fifi have that I don't that makes her attractive in Pikachu's eyes instead of me? I'm the one who, like has the beauty and the money," said Bimbette. "I don't think it doesn't always have to do with beauty or beauty. It may be something else," said the Proprietor. "But what?" asked Bimbette. "I don't know. I just don't know," said Proprietor.

Bonnie smiled, seeing this was an opportunity to get Clemont a girl. She and Chespin entered the ice cream parlor and began to approach Bimbette. "Excuse, Ms. Bimbette?" asked Bonnie. Bimbette turned and saw Bonnie. "If you're here to try to ask me to be Clemont's wife again, the answer is still no," said Bimbette. "But I was hoping being with Clemont would cheer you up," said Bonnie. Bimbette got angry. "I don't want a four eyed nerd as my true love! Ash's Pikachu asked Fifi out to the dance instead of me and it broke my heart! Dating someone I don't love is not going to cheer me up! Now go away and leave me alone!" yelled Bimbette. Bonnie was hurt by Bimbette's words. "Fine. But it's your loss," huffed Bonnie. She and Chespin walked away. "Stupid little girl. What does she know about love? She probably doesn't know about romance because she's never been in love herself," said Bimbette. "I agree with you with that," said the Proprietor.

Bonnie and Chespin continued to walk down the street. "She didn't have to take out her anger on me! I was only asking! Is that too much to ask?! Is it?!" complained Bonnie. Just then, Bonnie spotted Elmyra Duff nearby and immediately cheered up. "If Bimbette won't get together with Clemont, then Elmyra might," said Bonnie. But when Bonnie got closer, she saw that Elmyra was currently being laughed and pointed at by several toons. "Why are you all laughing at me?!" asked Elmyra. The toons then took out their cell phones and showed Elmyra the video of her humiliation. Elmyra was horrified when she saw why they were laughing at her. "Who would do such a cruel thing?!" asked Elmyra as she walked away in embarrassment. Plucky Duck turned to the readers and raised his eyebrows.

Bonnie was not happy about that somebody was bullying the girl she wanted to be Clemont's future wife on the internet. "Just because the animals hate her, doesn't mean that they have the right to make fun of her. Perhaps if I pair Elmyra with my brother, they'll probably treat her better. I just need to figure out how to get her to where my big brother is," said Bonnie. She thought for a moment until she remembered from what the toons told that she always chases after animals to make them her pets. Bonnie then got an idea. "Chespin. I'll need you to get Elmyra to chase you," said Bonnie. "Ches?" asked Chespin. "Elmyra seems to want an animal for a pet. I need to run from her until you get to big brother. Maybe if Clemont and Elmyra are in the same area, I know I can get the two to fall in love," said Bonnie. Clemont gulped nervously. It didn't really like this plan.

As Elmyra was trying to find a good place to hide from people laughing at her, she heard a whistle. The one who whistled was Chespin. "How cute! A green hedgehog! Come to Elmyra!" cried Elmyra. She began to run toward Chespin. Chespin then began to make a run for it as fast as its legs could carry it. Bonnie was watching. "It's working. Now I just need to make sure Chespin gets to Clemont," said Bonnie. She began to run after the two. Chespin ran down the street, with Elmyra in hot pursuit and Bonnie following behind her. "So far, so good," said Bonnie. Chespin looked back to see if Elmyra was still chasing it. But that was a big mistake cause he didn't keep a good look out.

The Grass Pokémon crashed into Furrball the Cat. The two fell down on their backs, with dizzy eyes. It fell down on its back, with dizzy eyes. Elmyra then caught up with Chespin and seized him in her arms. "I'm gonna make you my pet for life!" cried Elmyra. But then, she noticed Furrball. It's Furrball. I'll take him too, maybe he'll know where Fifi is currently living at. Once I get the information from him, Fifi will be mine again!, thought Elmyra. She snickered and grabbed Furrball too. She began to run off, carrying Chespin and Furrball. "Wait, come back! That's actually my brother's Chespin!" cried Bonnie. But Elmyra didn't hear her. "Oh no! Big brother's gonna kill me!" cried Bonnie.

When Bonnie told Clemont about what happened to Chespin, he was absolutely furious. "YOU WHAT?!" asked Clemont. Bonnie paled when Clemont yelled at her. "Of all the stupidest things that you've ever done to play matchmaker, that was the worst! Leaving Chespin in the hands of someone who's too stupid to see she's being abusive toward animals! What's worse, you put Furrball in danger too!" scolded Clemont. "I'm sorry, big brother! I just want you to give Elmyra a chance!" cried Bonnie. "Didn't you pay attention?! She likes Montana Max. And didn't you even listen to Buster and the others?! I don't want someone who abuses animals as a wife, even if they're doing it unintentionally!" said Clemont. "But I thought you could change her ways," said Bonnie. "Like I said, I don't need your help in finding a girl! Thanks to you, I now have to rescue Chespin from a life of suffering. And I need to tell Mary about Furrball," said Clemont. "Let me help," said Bonnie. "No! You've done enough," said Clemont coldly. And he left to rescue Chespin. Bonnie slumped down to her knees and began to sob. She blew it, big time.


Bonnie's obsession with trying to find a wife for Clemont has landed her in hot water this time. So now, Clemont must rescue Chespin as well as Furrball. Next chapter, Meowth tries to catch and eat Tweety, with predictable results . . .
