The other gym leader is the blonde-haired Clemont. A fan of science, Clemont's hobbies include creating inventions. His sister Bonnie accompanies him. Her role in the game is currently unknown. As with Grant, the type of gym or Pokémon Clemont specializes is unknown. It seems safe to assume he may specialize in Electric or Steel types, since both play a role in devices.

The revelation comes approximately a month since the first gym leader was announced. As Latinos Post reported, "Pokémon X and Y's" first gym leader is Viola of Santalune City.

The two new Gym Leaders were confirmed as the new criminal organization for Kalos was also revealed to be Team Flare. Information on the new villainous team is scarce, but the "fashionable" group is known to wear bright red attire and were seen using a Houndour in a new Pokémon trailer, likely signifying their specialty will be Fire-type Pokémon.

The new professor for the Kalos region was also announced with Augustine Sycamore. Similar to past professors, Prof. Sycamore will give the player one of the three starter Pokémon - Chespin, Fennekin, or Froakie.

"Pokémon X and Y" will launch worldwide on Oct. 12, exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.
