**Bonnie** (Japanese: **ユリーカ** *Eureka*) is an aspiring Pokémon Trainer and a former traveling companion of both Ash and Yellow She made her debut appearance in *Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!* along with her older brother, Clemont.

### History

#### *Pokémon the Series: XY*

##### Before traveling with Ash

Bonnie was first seen with her brother Clemont in Lumiose City. Both were standing outside the Prism Tower when they watched Ash go inside to challenge the Lumiose Gym. When Ash was ejected out of the building, Clemont saved Ash with his Clemontic Gear while Bonnie saved Ash's Pikachu by catching him before he hit the ground. Thinking that he was cute, Bonnie hugged Pikachu, who shocked her in retaliation. Bonnie quickly apologized and explained that she is too young to have her own Pokémon and therefore always becomes excited when she meets one. Though she cannot own a Pokémon, she participates in other activities when she can. When Clemont and Ash had a battle against each other, she refereed the match for them. She later led them to Professor Sycamore's lab when Froakie was injured by Team Rocket.

In *Lumiose City Pursuit!*, Bonnie met Professor Sycamore's Garchomp and played with the professor's other Pokémon, before Team Rocket infiltrated the lab. Bonnie tagged along with Ash and Clemont to help free the enraged Garchomp from the machine controlling her, and Bonnie watched her brother use one of his inventions to break into the Prism Tower.

#### As Ash's traveling companion

In *A Battle of Aerial Mobility!*, Bonnie and Clemont officially decided to accompany Ash on his journey through Kalos. Later in the episode, the group encountered a wild Dedenne. Bonnie asked Clemont to allow her to keep Dedenne, and Ash agreed. Bonnie tried to offer a Berry to Dedenne, but a wild Fletchling stole the Berry, scaring off Dedenne in the process. She later watched with her brother as Ash caught the Fletchling. After it was caught, Bonnie scolded Fletchling for stealing Dedenne's food but quickly forgave the Pokémon. Dedenne was later seen following Bonnie and the others.

Then, in *A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!*, Bonnie met the Dedenne from the previous episode when he stole the food she was trying to feed to Pikachu and Fletchling. She begged Clemont to capture him for her, but Dedenne forced the group to chase him in several holes in the ground, which caused Dedenne and Pikachu to get lost together. Eventually, Pikachu and Dedenne returned, but a previous encounter with Team Rocket left Dedenne exhausted to the point of fainting, much to Bonnie's horror. After Dedenne was rejuvenated by one of Clemont's inventions, he bonded with Clemont and helped defeat Team Rocket. Afterward, Dedenne allowed Clemont to capture him so that Bonnie could keep him in her satchel.

In *From A to Z!*, Bonnie discovered a strange, green Pokémon (unbeknownst to her or her friends, a Zygarde Core) resting in her satchel. The Pokémon panicked upon seeing Bonnie and attempted to escape, to no avail. Although baffled as to what it was, as Ash and Serena's attempts to scan it with their Pokédexes had proven futile, Bonnie nicknamed it **Squishy** (Japanese: **プニちゃん** *Puni-chan*) in the absence of a species name, dead set on looking after it. Unfortunately, Squishy was quickly lost because of a Dodrio stampede caused by Sawyer's Grovyle. Although they quickly caught up to it, it had been captured by a group of Team Flare Grunts led by Celosia. Ash and Sawyer were able to rescue Squishy from Team Flare, Bonnie catching it after it was dropped by Celosia's Drapion.

Later, Bonnie was unable to get Squishy to eat, not understanding why until it crawled over to a rock to rest and absorb sunlight. Afterward, when it saw Terminus Cave on Serena's Town Map, it attacked the device, apparently thinking it was a portal to the cave; as a result, the group decided that was their next destination. That night, Squishy, detecting that Celosia was still searching for it, woke the group. The group once again defended it, Serena and Clemont falling back to escape with Bonnie and Squishy as Ash and Sawyer covered their escape. However, Bonnie lost her balance and fell while crossing a river; although she didn't seem hurt, she had lost Squishy again. By the time she reunited with Squishy, it was exhausted from having defended itself against another group of Team Flare Grunts led by Bryony, but it absorbed light to recover, much to Bonnie's relief.

During *Meeting at Terminus Cave!*, Bonnie brought Squishy back to Terminus Cave, where it started meditating in the water. When Team Flare attacked, Bonnie nearly got hit by Drapion's Pin Missile but was saved by Ash. Greninja eventually recovered Squishy and gave it to Bonnie, but Squishy ultimately decided to battle Team Flare itself. In doing so, Bonnie and her friends learned that Squishy had the ability to access stronger forms. In this act of bravery, however, Squishy got separated from the rest of Ash's group, which left Bonnie very worried.

During the events of *A Cellular Connection!*, Bonnie wanted to go look for Squishy even though Clemont explicitly forbade her from doing so, out of concern that she would get hurt. When the group eventually got chased by a group of wild Toxicroak as a result of Bonnie's recklessness, Bunnelby got hurt saving her from a nasty fall. Bunnelby was admitted to a Pokémon Center, which left Bonnie feeling very guilty about it, and she promptly went to look for the herbs necessary to cure him. By the end of the episode, Bunnelby had recovered. Squishy had overseen Bonnie's efforts, and as a result returned to the group once more, as it believed humans and Pokémon could live together thanks to Bonnie.

During the following episodes, Bonnie would often be able to tell whenever Squishy was worried and would sing a song to calm it. During *A Keeper for Keeps?*, Bonnie's attempts to get Clemont a wife caused a girl to gain interest in him, to her surprise. She was very displeased as she feared this meant Clemont would stop caring for her. She made several attempts to break them up, all of which backfired. At the end of the episode, however, Clemont revealed that he intended to continue looking after Bonnie. Having learned nothing from the whole ordeal, Bonnie immediately resumed her attempts to get Clemont a wife.

During the events of *Championing a Research Battle!*, she was the one who told Diantha about Ash and Greninja's unique transformation. Later on, she would be the one to dub the forme "Ash-Greninja".

After watching Ash at the Lumiose Conference, Bonnie was shocked when Squishy fled after the stadium was attacked by weird vines. In the following episode, despite the protests of Blaziken Mask, she went after Squishy along with Clemont and Serena. After she finally senses exactly where Squishy was, she was amazed when it transformed into a Zygarde to confront the one under Team Flare's control. In *Coming Apart at the Dreams!*, She watched as Squishy and Z2 were battling each other throughout Lumiose City until the former was subdued by the latter. She sensed Squishy's pain and fell to her knees and after she stood back up, she was rescued by Blaziken Mask's Mega Blaziken when one of the giant roots almost attacked her. Despite Blaziken Mask's attempt to comfort her, she couldn't help but scream out as she kept feeling Squishy's pain.

In *The Right Hero for the Right Job!*, Bonnie kept trying to reach out to Squishy, who in return attacked her with vines. After Blaziken Mask took a hit for her, a desperate Bonnie began to tear up and, with no other options left, began singing Squishy's song. This managed to snap Squishy out of its mind control, and Bonnie was overjoyed when Squishy came to her side. Soon after, however, Squishy left after it sensed Z2 being freed from Team Flare's control. In the following episode, Bonnie followed Squishy who searched for Z2. Z2 initially was very skeptical and hostile with Squishy and Bonnie, but Bonnie reached out to Z2 and it allowed Bonnie to carry it. After that, Bonnie, along with Squishy, Z2, and Blaziken Mask were brought along in the helicopter with Ash, Alain, Clemont, and Malva, who's chasing after the Giant Rock.

For most of the fight with the Giant Rock, Bonnie stayed with Squishy and Z2 at the sidelines watching the event with Mairin and Serena who was tasked to protect the two young girls. In *Forming a More Perfect Union!*, after a devastating attack from the Giant Rock, Bonnie and Clemont finally discovered the true identity of Blaziken Mask as their father, whose mask fell off during the attack. When Squishy and Z2 both left her to stop the Giant Rock for good, Bonnie tried to chase them but she was stopped by Meyer. Soon after, Squishy and Z2 joined hands and transformed into Zygarde's Perfect Forme, and Bonnie was shown to be very excited, cheering the Legendary Pokémon stopping Lysandre, destroying the Giant Rock, and restoring Kalos's environment to normal. However, after reverting into the cores, both Squishy and Z2 had to leave her, as they were slightly exhausted from the battle and required some rest. Before leaving, Squishy expressed its deep gratitude towards Bonnie for protecting it all this time and showing it that humans and Pokémon may have hope and determination to never give up. As Squishy and Z2 fade away, Bonnie tearfully proclaimed her love to the Legendary Pokémon once again.

In *Battling With a Clean Slate!*, Bonnie helped Ash, Serena, and her father clean up the gym to prepare for the gym's reopening. At Professor Sycamore's lab, she and the others helped Mairin prepare for the welcome party for Alain. Bonnie made a decoration of Squishy and said that she missed him, wondering what he was up to ever since the Team Flare incident ended. Ash reassured that Squishy was doing fine, and Bonnie agreed. The next day, she watched the Gym battle between Alvin and Clembot, which ended with Alvin being the victor. After the Gym battle, Professor Sycamore gave medals to Bonnie and Dedenne, as well as Ash, Serena, Clemont, Mairin, Alain, and all of their Pokémon, for all of their heroic efforts against Team Flare. The group then posed for a photo. At night, she watched the fireworks and Prism Tower lighting up with Ash, Serena, and Clemont.

In *Facing the Needs of the Many!*, Bonnie went after Xerosic along with Ash, Serena, and Ash's Greninja to rescue her brother Clemont from Xerosic, but when they got there, Clemont was being put under control by Xerosic. After Xerosic was arrested by Officer Jenny, Bonnie reunited with Squishy and Zygarde, who told the gang that Zygarde needed Greninja's powers as Ash-Greninja. After when Greninja left with Squishy and Zygarde, Bonnie made a promise to Squishy that once she becomes a trainer, she will go on another adventure with Squishy in the future.

In *Till We Compete Again!*, during Ash's video call to his mother and Professor Oak, Delia tells Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena they are free to stop by Pallet Town sometime for a visit. After the video call, Bonnie realizes that their Kalos journey was coming to a close. Bonnie was upset, in which she barely ate anything and claimed she had too many sweets earlier. Clemont reminded her not to do so before meals. Later, Professor Sycamore, Alain, and Mairin stop by to bid them a final farewell before the gang heads to the airport. After Professor Sycamore, Alain, and Mairin left, Ash and the others head to the airport, which caused Bonnie to be sad again.

When the gang arrived at the airport, the Pokémon started bidding many farewells to each other. However, Dedenne was unable to bear the goodbyes and runs off around the airport. After Bonnie found Dedenne, she tells him that they need to say their goodbyes. She explains to Dedenne that Ash and Serena need to go on and pursue their dreams, the same as she wants to become a Trainer someday with her partner Dedenne. She told him that she will hopefully defeat Serena and Ash in a Pokémon Showcase and Pokémon Battle respectively, and have a gym battle against her brother Clemont. Dedenne jumps back into Bonnie's arms, although still upset, but understands what Bonnie is saying and begins to cheer up along with her.

After Serena's flight left for Hoenn, Clemont and Ash have one final battle before Ash's flight leaves for Kanto, just like how their Kalos adventure all started. Bonnie watches the battle between Clemont's Bunnelby and Ash's Pikachu. After the battle during the sunset, she and Clemont watch as Ash's flight leaves Kalos for Kanto. Later, Bonnie and Clemont return to Prism Tower while she recalls all the amazing Pokémon she has met and befriended throughout her journey with Clemont, Ash, and Serena, such as having a Flabébé in Bonnie's ponytail in *To Find a Fairy Flower!*, meeting a Lapras and taking care of it along with The Lapras Defense Crew (Jay, Heidi, and Kye) in *Bonnie for the Defense!*, looking after and having fun with a Tyrunt from the fossil research lab in *The Tiny Caretaker!*, and finally Squishy. She also recalls playing Ninja along with Dedenne and Pikachu, proposing to Lilia to be a keeper for her brother Clemont, and finally promising Squishy that she will go on a brand new adventure with him as soon as she becomes a Trainer someday.
