Japanese Title: A Bride for Citron!? Eureka's S'il-vous-plaît Panic!!
Original Airdate: April 7, 2016
US Airdate: July 9, 2016
Bonnie finds another "keeper" for Clemont in the trainer Lilia. But when Lilia takes actual interest in Clemont, Bonnie discovers for herself that wanting is much better than having.
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Lilia takes a liking to Clemont, and Bonnie promptly gets jealous. What complicates her jealousy is that Lilia's father is a robotics entrepreneur, and any relationship with Clemont would likely result in him quitting the Lumiose Gym, just like her dream suggested. In fact, when she revisits her dream, the previously anonymous bride becomes Lilia.
- Catapult Nightmare: Bonnie has a premonition about Clemont getting married and handing her the position of Lumiose Gym leader, and imagining it driving the siblings apart.
- Character Development: After this episode, Bonnie never sought to find another "keeper" for Clemont (until their reappearance in Journeys a few years later). She does however perform the gag for one last time just before the episode ends.
- Crazy-Prepared: Clemont hid small trasmitters in the bandages he and Bonnie used to treat Lilia's and Bunnelby's wounds after they fell into one of Team Rocket traps. Just in case anything like this happened again.
- Empathy Pet: The affinity between Lilia and Clemont is mirrored by their respective Buneary and Bunnelby.
- Expressive Ears: Lilia's Buneary deals with Chespin and Pancham trying to muscle in on her over Bunnelby by herself.
- Foreshadowing: At the beginning of the episode, Serena presents the aesop of the episode, Be Careful What You Wish For, to Bonnie.
- From the Mouths of Babes: One of Bonnie's attempts to separate Clemont and Lilia involves a very bizarre Imagine Spot where an Arbok coils around Clemont while in his underwear with a pleased expression on his face.
- Growling Gut: Lilia's stomach growls so loudly that Clemont can hear it, and he promptly sates her hunger by cooking her a delicious meal. Much to Bonnie's horror, his skill as a chef helps bring them even closer together.
- Ignored Epiphany: After all of Bonnie's attempts to prevent losing her brother to a love interest, she still goes straight back to her Running Gag in the end.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: The dub was missing from the online Pokémon website for a month before it was finally released.
- Meet Cute: A ball the gang's Pokémon were playing with was thrown in a bush, and is retrieved by Lilia's Buneary. She gives it back to Bunnelby, and quickly blushes.
- Running Gagged: This is the last time Bonnie's "keeper" gag was ever used in the XY series, and it happens to be a deconstruction of the whole thing. Bonnie wouldn't purpose to any girl to be Clemont's keeper until 6 years later in Pokémon Journeys.
- Status Quo Is God: Bonnie's Ignored Epiphany at the end of the episode seems to have indicated that her "keeper" Running Gag would still continue but surprisingly, this is the last time Bonnie ever proposes her brother to a girl in the XY series.
- Wanting Is Better Than Having: Bonnie finally finds someone who actually likes Clemont, but then she has to deal with the ramifications.
