Clemont and Bonnie left Prism Tower
The resident gym leader of Lumios City was forced to leave his gym
Clemont Lumiose is the city's electric-type gym leader, and his gym is located at the top of the city's main attraction, the Prism Tower. However, most fans remember her and her little sister, BonnieBecause of their roles as two friends of Ash Ketchum Pokemon The Series: XY. When it was revealed Pokemon Legends: ZA Taking place entirely within the city of Lumios, fans naturally assumed that Clement and Bonnie would make appearances in the game.

Diantha is focused on her acting career
The champion doesn't seem to care about battles anymore
in Pokemon Legends: ZAAZ and the members of Team MZ are on the hunt for the strongest Mega Evolution Trainer who can theoretically stop the mysterious power within the Prism Tower. Although this role should obviously fall to the main character, many fans can't help but wonder: about what? Diantha? After all, the champion of the Kalos realm is a powerful trainer with Mega Gardevoir on his team, so it's strange that he didn't pop up to help Lumiose City during its latest crisis.
It is important to note that Diantha is not only a Pokemon champion, but also a world famous actress. Various posters advertising her latest movie can be found throughout the city, and the NPC also mentions that she is now focused on her movie career, so the most reasonable explanation for her absence is that she is so busy that she can no longer focus on her duties as champion.
