Clemont's Luxray (Japanese: シトロンのレントラー Citron's Rentorar) is the second Pokémon that Clemont caught during his journey through Kalos, and his seventh overall.
History
Clemont and Luxray first met in Clemont's youth, when he was studying at an academy specializing in Electric-type Pokémon and Luxray was still a Shinx. Clemont was taking a recreational stroll, thinking of an idea for his graduation assigment. He then found Shinx, visibly weakened by electricity loss. Without hestitation, he brought him to a nearby Pokémon Center, where he was quickly healed. At night, when Clemont was working on his research, Shinx knocked on his window, and Clemont opened it to let him in. He showed Shinx the idea he was working on and that would prevent Electric-type Pokémon from suffering electricity loss. Clemont and Shinx then gradually became good friends, playing together, sleeping together, and working together on Clemont's graduate research.
Clemont's graduate research was a success, and caused him to graduate. The day before his graduation, Clemont had promised Shinx to meet up so he could thank him for giving Clemont the idea for his graduate research and wanting to ask him to become his partner. He had even brought a cake for him, but on his way the mayor of the the academy's town came to him, forcing him to come with him as a ceremonial meal had been organized to celebrate Clemont's graduation. Looking from the window of the mayor's car, Clemont watched in agony as he saw Shinx waiting for him. After the meal, Clemont came back to their meeting spot, but Shinx was nowhere to be seen, having left in disappointment thinking Clemont had abandoned him. Clemont returned to his home in Lumiose City, while Shinx remained a wild Pokémon, still roaming around the academy. Shinx eventually evolved into Luxio.
In the present day, Luxio was first seen spying on Ash and his friends from a rooftop as they visited the academy. He later showed up when Team Rocket was causing trouble at the electricity system Clemont had built. Ash and his friends also showed up, and Clemont recognized Luxio, even though he had evolved. Although he briefly seemed to recognize Clemont in return, Luxio ran away, still angry about Clemont not showing up at their meeting. He later battled Team Rocket when they managed to steal a large amount of electricity from the town. When Clemont jumped in the way to shield Luxio from one of Team Rocket's attack and took the hit, Luxio remembered the good times they had together. After Team Rocket was defeated, Luxio proceeded to walk away. Before he left, Clemont admitted he had broken his promise before, but that it was now his turn to wait for Luxio. He proposed to meet up at the same meeting spot as before, and that Luxio should come if he wanted to join Clemont's team. The next day, although it seemed as if Luxio had not forgiven Clemont after all, he showed up just when Clemont had given up hope. Overjoyed, Clemont threw a Poké Ball at him and caught him.
In XY062, Luxio was present with Clemont in the Lumiose Badlands, until he was hypnotized by a machine in the Kalos Power Plant along with Pikachu and Dedenne, they attacked their trainers and were ordered inside the plant, along with the other Electric-type Pokémon who were also hypnotized, it was later revealed that it was the work of Team Rocket. On their command, he attacked Ash who was trying to break Pikachu free from their influence, afterwards Clemont decided to try and break Luxio free as well, but Luxio attacked him with Thunder Fang, Clemont hugged him whilst he used Discharge, and he partially regained control, using his Clemontic Gear attaching it to electric current and having Luxio increase his power on its discharge, breaking the satellite dishes controlling the Pokémon, setting the Pokémon free. He caught Clemont as he fell from tiredness and began to evolve into Luxray, whilst Team Rocket tried to reboot their satellite dishes. After evolving he used his new move, Electric Terrain, to destroy the satellite dishes and increase the power of Electric-type moves, allowing the Electric-type Pokémon to send Team Rocket blasting off. He later went with Clemont to Lumiose City by helicopter to train for Clemont's upcoming gym battle with Ash.
Personality and characteristics
As a Shinx, he was shown to be playful and friendly, specially with Clemont due to being rescued by him. After evolving into a Luxio, he became stoic, serious, and focused, although this could be due to Luxio being angry at what he thought was Clemont abandoning him. After Clemont rescued him again, Luxio become loyal to him and allowed himself to be caught, this was shown again in XY062 where he was able to break free from Team Rocket's control, which allowed him to evolve into Luxray, he maintained this loyalty after evolving. He also seems to be somewhat stubborn as he kept fighting Team Rocket even though they managed to hit him several times.
