| | #REDIRECT [[List of major anime ships#Serena x Clemont]] |
| '''GeekChicShipping''' (Japanese: '''シトセレ''' ''CitSere'') is the belief that {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Serena}} belong in a romantic relationship. It is named after the [[wp:Geek#Geek chic|geek chic]] fashion trend, and reflects their personalities: Clemont is geeky, and Serena is {{wp|chic}}.
| |
| | |
| The fan following for this ship is moderate at best, but shows early signs of rising popularity. One noted contributor to the growing support for this ship is that it offers fans an alternative to {{s|Amour}}, which may not appeal to all and conflicts with many other popular ships involving {{Ash}}. Additionally, some fans see GeekChicShipping as a more interesting potential direction for Serena's {{wp|character arc}}, rather than if her established crush smoothly progressed into a relationship.

| | |
| ==Anime evidence==
| |
| While there is a lack of substantial evidence suggesting a romantic attraction, their dynamics are typically very positive. Clemont is shown to enjoy opportunities to explain new things to Serena, and proudly demonstrates his inventions for her. On the other hand, despite her canon crush on Ash, Serena still shows plenty of kindness and concern towards Clemont.
| |
| | |
| ===Clemont's hints===
| |
| | |
| * ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
| |
| : Clemont compliments Serena's appearance in her Rhyhorn racing outfit.
| |
| | |
| * ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]''
| |
| : Upon meeting Serena, Clemont's father, [[Meyer]], teases him about meeting such a cute girl, and implies that there's more than friendship between them. In the dub, Meyer even calls her Clemont's "beautiful girlfriend". Embarrassed, Clemont awkwardly replies that it's not like that. Later, when Clemont is struggling with the passcode for [[Clembot]], he listens to the advice given by Serena, to calm down and think about it carefully. Because of her, he's able to calm down enough to realize what the true passcode is.
| |
| | |
| * ''[[XY014|Seeking Shelter from the Storm!]]''
| |
| : Despite Clemont claiming he can't trust "what is not scientifically proven", he's visibly chilled by Serena's un-scientific theories. This can be taken to mean that he trusts in what she says, even when her superstitions are at odds with his better judgment.
| |
| | |
| * [[XY021]]
| |
| : When Serena dresses up in her {{p|Fennekin}} {{pkmn|cosplay}}, Clemont is thrilled to see her. He smiles so hard that his glasses slip halfway down his face.
| |
| | |
| ===Serena's hints===
| |
| * ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
| |
| : Clemont compliments her {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing skills and she blushes, flattered.
| |
| | |
| * ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]''
| |
| : When Meyer teases Clemont about Serena, implying that there's more than friendship between the two, she smiles and doesn't deny this. Later, she decides to support him in stopping Clembot despite the danger involved.
| |
| | |
| * ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]''
| |
| : Usually when Clemont shows off an invention to her, she doesn't seem quite as enthused as Ash, particularly if it malfunctions. However, when [[Officer Jenny]] questions how they'll be able to track the signal of a chip, it's Serena who proudly declares "We have an inventor on our team!", setting the stage for Clemont to introduce his machine. This can be taken to mean she admires his technical skills more than she lets on.
| |
| | |
| * ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]''
| |
| : When Clemont is upset because he thinks Chespin hates him, Serena is the one to cheer him up.
| |
| | |
| * ''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]''
| |
| : Though Serena agrees to leave Clemont with [[Princess Allie]], she has a playful expression about it, suggesting that she's just teasing Clemont. Later, when he shows up in his underwear, she covers her face and turns away in embarrassment.
| |
| | |
| ===Other hints===
| |
| * Serena has a strong bond with Clemont's little sister, {{an|Bonnie}}, who in turn has a vested interest for finding a wife for her brother.
| |
| * Serena and Clemont have appeared in cooperative roles more than once, suggesting a natural partnership:
| |
| : Both cook for the group, with Clemont covering dinner and Serena covering dessert.
| |
| : In [[XY027]], Serena provides the honey for {{p|Flabébé}} and Clemont provides the pipette to serve it with.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
