  Summary

  The Pokémon Lab of Kalos, located perfectly within the walls of Lumiose City, is where many Trainers start their journey and get their first Pokémon. Clemont knows this, even though he didn’t go through this route himself.

  But. Well. He’ll do anything right about now. And maybe that little Chespin he found will do the same.
