The twerps arrive at some town, and Clemont tells Dedenne and Pikachu to go in some device, it starts raining electricity on them. Clemont invented them himself (and they haven't exploded yet?) Why it's Clemont's golden showers... or "Clemontic Showers" for short.
Some cute blue haired chick is then really excited to see Clemont, her name... Éclairisse?
That's not a real name.
Well, Éclairisse and Clemont meet up and looks like Clemont's going to have...
Clemont explains to her that he's on a journey with his little sister, some idiot from Kanto and his "partner" his pet rat, and some chick who's only getting some when she finally gives in to Shauna's advances.
Bonnie decides that Éclairisse is perfect to take care of Clemont, because she's smart, but he says he doesn't need that kind of help, because he's swimming in women.
After that's over, we get a bit of background on Clemont, he apparently attended a school for studying Electric-type Pokémon. Considering we've seen schools that cater to ALL Pokémon, I think that's a little pigeonholing.
Clemont's apparently the most notable graduate, and he even has a stupid nickname according to Éclairisse, "The Electric-type Whiz Kid", which is a thing I'm pretty sure no one wants to be called, ever.
Éclairisse mentions Clemont's father and Serena suddenly remembers them meeting him was a thing that happened at one point. Apparently it was Meyer's idea for Clemont to go to this school, in another attempt to free himself of Parental responsibility. Like that time he gladly let his son and daughter traipse about with two dumb kids he's never met, possibly sending them to their dooms.
For his graduation research he did work on THE POWER OF ELECTRIC-TYPE POKéMON... and how the power of science can build the future - which sounds like a pretty vague thing.
Uh, anyway while having a walk trying to think of a topic for this thing, he met You know who...
Actually, no, we don't know who. Who the fuck is it?
During Clemont's flashback we see a cute widdle baby Cwemont and we also learn that it the fuck is a Shinx. A beaten and tired Shinx that collapses in front of widdle baby Cwemont, who rushes it to the nearest Pokémon Center.
Nurse Joy talks about Shinx's recovery as Wigglytuff's serial killer eyes stare into your soul. Joy then says, "BOY IT WOULD BE GREAT IF SOMEONE IN THIS VERY ROOM WOULD INVENT A DEVICE TO ALLOW ELECTRIC POKéMON TO EASILY ABSORB ELECTRICITY. WHY WON'T ANYONE IN THIS ROOM RIGHT HERE, THAT I AM CURRENTLY INHABITING INVENT THAT THING I JUST SAID!"
Well, Cwemont decides to make a golden Shower of electricity, by collecting electricity from the Pokémon at the school, and putting it into multiple batteries and through power lines throughout the city, into the showers allowing the Wild Electric-types can absorb the electricity.
And that's how Clemont completed his graduation project. Despite this being a big major deal for Clemont, Bonnie has conveniently never heard him talk about Shinx until this very moment.
Team Rocket are also none-too far away, and plan on stealing the electricity and selling it to chumps...
does...
does Team Rocket know how electricity works?
Later on, in the bowels of the city Team Rocket are hiding from a patrolling Luxio, and almost alert it to their presence when Wobbuffet drops some pliers. It wanders off, as they attach the pack on Meowth's back to the transformer, as Clemont shows his friends around the control room, he designed himself.
The equipment alerts them to a breach, and one of the engineers seems to think it's the Luxio's doing, as he mentions it attacks everytime they even think of going near it. It's just too bad, there's no way for the engineers to fight back against the Luxio, you know, like with their own living creatures with awesome powers. Nope, they're completely fucked in dealing with that Luxio.
Anyway, the other engineer decides to go after it, and the Twerps (minus Bonnie) tag along. They rush along and run into none-other than Team Rocket. Instead of going into their motto however, Team Rocket cheeses it. Before the twerps and the Engineer can get to far they also encounter the Luxio.
After patiently waiting for Serena to scan it with her Pokédex, Luxio then attacks with Swift, that Ash defends with Pikachu's Thunderbolt. Before it can attack again, the Engineer sics Luxio on Team Rocket instead, as Clemont realizes that Luxio might be his Shinx. It stops, but then runs off again.
Luxio breaks out of the underground path and runs to where I guess it thinks Team Rocket went? Of course they were actually hiding behind a recycling bin. With Luxio out of their hair for now, they take note of the building "the science twerp" was talking about and decide to hit that up instead.
While the twerps are dishing on Team Rocket, Clemont is lost in his thoughts. One of the engineers then suggests he'll tell Officer Jenny what's going on, as we see Jenny searching the underground path, even though Team Rocket and the Luxio have long since left, showing that Officer Jenny is always just 20-steps behind.
Later that night the twerps are in their hotel room they bummed off of someone, though Clemont is a legit celebrity in this town, so maybe they got it comped for free. Clemont's busy thinking of Shinx, and says he never finished telling his story.
Shinx and Cwemont had a regular meeting place, and before he graduated, he and Shinx were to meet so he could congratulate it, and ask it to become his partner.
Before he could, The Mayor pulls up to the small child and coaxes him into his car, (STRANGER DANGER! STRANGER DANGER!) they drive past the spot as poor Shinx stands there beaming happily waiting for Cwemont to arrive.
Serena assumes that Luxio may be that very same Shinx, and Clemont thinks so too. He thinks Luxio's salty attitude to him is the reason it kept going, and not that it could be a totally different Luxio.
Just then the power in the city goes out, as big sparks come off from the system, and somehow no one else decided to investigate this. Luxio catches up to Team Rocket and this time they decide to fight back.
Officer Jenny apparently found no one underground, and apparently hasn't thought to check the giant building sparking in the middle of town.
The twerps catch up just as Team Rocket start kicking the shit out of Luxio, and now we get a motto.
"Prepare for trouble, how pompous is that?"
"And make it double, it's Tit for Tat!"
"To protect the world from devestation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!
"To denounce the evils of all your rules!"
"To shut down the power on arrogant schools!"
"Jesse!"
"And James!
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare for a lights out fight!"
Meowth, that's right!"
"WOOOBUFFEEETTT!"
Luxio charges them again, and gets thrown to the ground with Foul Play, and before Jesse can kill it with Shadow Ball, Pikachu's Thunderbolt explodes it in the air.
It tells them why it's fighting so hard against Team Rocket, and a fortuitous translation by Meowth helps us learn that Luxio is doing it because it wants the city to be a great place for all Pokémon to live happily, essentially the spiel Clemont gave it back before they both evolved.
Well, Team Rocket are tired of listening, so they attack it with Shadow ball, and before the Pokémon can get hit with a Pokémon attack, Clemont takes Pumpkaboo's Ball to his ass. Thus showing Luxio that he really does love it.
...maybe he loves it a little too much?
Team Rocket decide that cheesing it isn't good enough for them, so they decide to try and steal Pikachu... and it goes about as well as you expect, as Luxio blasts them off with a Discharge.
Before Luxio can go to it's home, Clemont tells it that he'll wait for it at their usual spot, because he wants it to come with him. Luxio goes back into the hole without a peep.
The next day the twerps wait for Luxio, Ash is damn sure it'll show up, but Clemont knows it's given up on it, and they prepare to head off. But before they do, Luxio pops out of the bushes. Clemont throws his Pokéball at it, and... it's caught. Clemont just caught another Pokémon.
What awaits our twerps as they have the third electric-type member tot their team? We'll find out... as the journey continues.
BEST QUOTES:
No way, you're amazing! Yep! You keep coming up with these totally incredible inventions that blow up in the end!
