| ~ Belmondo - XY069: Confronting the Darkness |
Belmondo is the main antagonist of the episode "Confronting the Darkness!" in the anime series Pokémon the Series: XY.
He is a disgraced and egotistical scientist who created a counterfeit version of Clemont’s Clembot using stolen data, and used it to commit crimes to frame the original Clembot and ruin Clemont’s reputation.
He was voiced by Sean Schemmel in the English dub and Unshō Ishizuka in the Japanese version.
Biography[]
Belmondo was once a respected inventor, but his ambition and bitterness led him to unethical behavior. Obsessed with proving himself superior to Clemont, the Lumiose City Gym Leader and tech prodigy, Belmondo secretly stole Clembot’s blueprints and created a counterfeit version. He reprogrammed the duplicate Clembot with an aggressive, rule-breaking nature and sent it out to commit crimes such as robbery, sabotage, and impersonation.
Using this copycat Clembot, Belmondo’s scheme was to frame Clemont’s Clembot for these incidents, hoping to publicly discredit Clemont and get revenge for his past perceived slights. His version of Clembot, unlike the original, showed no concern for Pokémon welfare and prioritized only brute strength and victory.
The truth was uncovered when Ash, Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont investigated the rising incidents and discrepancies in Clembot’s behavior. With the help of Officer Jenny, Clemont confronted Belmondo. During the climax, Clemont battled the fake Clembot and exposed the truth to the public. Belmondo’s arrogance led to his undoing, and he was arrested by the authorities.
