Bonnie waved goodbye to Professor Sycamore and Ampharos as she left Lumiose City at last, the power restored and the chaos ended. She took a deep breath and entered Route 5, running down the path with her Pokemon until she finally grew tired and slowed to a walk, going and going until it was pitch-black outside...

Bonnie opened her eyes... in a hotel? Skiddo looked exhausted, snoozing away in a chair, and Dedenne and Squishy were sleeping in Bonnie's bag on the floor. Washing up in the bathroom, Bonnie looked around. The last thing she remembered was walking down the path on Route 5. Hadn't she fallen asleep there?
She went downstairs to the lobby, letting her Pokemon sleep, and walked to the front desk.
"Um, miss... how did I get here?" She asked the lady standing there.
"Oh, you're awake! Last night your Skiddo walked in. It was carrying you on your back.
Bonnie looked surprised.
Skiddo.....
She nodded slowly.
"Thank you. I'll have to find a way to repay it."
The woman smiled.
"You really care for your Pokemon, don't you? How sweet."
Bonnie laughed nervously.
"They're my friends. Of course I care about them."
Bonnie went back upstairs and watched her Pokemon rest, smiling.

Bonnie found the path on Route 6 fork to show a way leading to the Parfum Palace.
Remembering the creepy princess who wanted Ash's Pikachu and ended up taking her brother, it made sense that she passed it up without a word. It was best not to experience that twice.
