I'm sorry, but a Miraculous story isn't the same without everyone's least favorite brat. I know. I hate her too. But she has to show up SOMEWHERE.

Marinette and Adrien find themselves at the Pokémon Center hanging out. Tikki and Plagg sit besides them at the table. Dedenne was on Adrien's shoulder. Nurse Joy brings over some pink Poképuffs. Tikki and Dedenne dig in.

"Thank you Nurse Joy" Marinette says as she leaves "She's sweet."

"I'll say." Tikki responds. "So sweet!"

"Where's my Camembert!" Plagg whined for his cheese.

"I asked for some, but I'm not sure if they'd have it at a Pokémon Center." Adrien tries to calm down the irritated Umbreon.

"Do you want some Poképuffs?" Tikki asked

"I don't do sweets." He replied

"Have it your way." Marinette responds.

"I'm surprised Alya and Nino couldn't make it." Adrien commented

"Well, Alya has work, and who knows what Nino is up to."

Suddenly they hear an irritating voice from behind them. Marinette recognizes it immediately. "Adriekinz!"

Chloe!

Marinette was not happy she was back. Supposedly the mayor's daughter was still on her Pokémon journey. Good riddens. One of the few reasons she only traveled through Jhoto was because she got tired of her stupid face constantly annoying her. They were more than mere rivals, they were enemies. No one could get under her skin more.

"Hey Chloe." Adrien was still as sweet as ever. But Marinette could hear the slightest bit of hesitation in his voice. She hoped she wasn't imagining it.

Adrien had grown up with Chloe. She was one of his oldest friends. After everything that went down with her mother, she was there. However, he always seemed to want to be around Chloe alone. She didn't take well to him having other friends

"Adrien! Why are you here with HER!?" He was shocked by the way she said it. Adrien didn't even know she knew Marinette. And yet, here she was. And oh boy, did Marinette look unhappy.

"What do you mean by 'HER'?" He asked, hoping he didn't have to worry about a fight between two of his closest friends.

"Hello CHLOE." She said it as though her name hurt.

"Why are you hanging out with Marinette?" Chloe seemed almost offended that he even thought of her as a friend

"Marinette's my friend and we were hanging out? Do you two know eachother?"

"As if!" Chloe sounded rude. He was not used to to seeing her like that. "Marinette is a loser! You're better than her. You shouldn't be hanging out with her."

To Adrien, the fact that anyone could say this to her was appalling. And the fact that it was his oldest friend, made it SHOCKING. He was going to speak out against this behavior until he found out he didn't have to. Marinette was more than capable of handling herself.

"Oh yeah! Well, me and Adrien have been friends for months now, and we've practically seen each other every single day. So I would shut your dumb mouth if I were you!"

Chloe wasn't intimidated by this, yet, it seemed as though she did take it seriously. She took her as a threat. It was as if they've done this many times before.

"Oh yeah. How about we have a battle." She smirked "If I win, you stay away from Adriekinz." She sounded like spoiled brat.

This time Adrien spoke up. "You can't decide who I spend my time with."

"I accept." Marinette said, shocking Adrien

The three of them found their way to the battlefield nearby. Adrien was talking to Marinette as she took her place.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked "I mean, if you loose I'm still going to hang out with you. It's my decision."

"I'll be fine." She states "She used to be my rival. I know what she has to throw." She smiles sweetly at him "Plus, I know we'll be friends no matter what. So I'm not even afraid of losing."

"Okay." Adrien went to the middle of the field where he was going to ref. Plagg and Dedenne watch from the sidelines.

To Marinette, this was more than about Adrien. She wanted to see that smug, bratty look punched out of her. But since she didn't want to commit assault, especially against the mayor's daughter, she settled for wiping the floor with her in a battle. Show her just how strong she got.

"This will be a four on four Pokémon battle. The battle will be over when all four of one sides Pokémon are unable to continue. Either side is allowed substitutions."

"For my first Pokémon." She called it out "Furfrou, come and win this."

"Let's go Ledian!" Marinette set out her Pokémon.

"Battle begin."

"Look at that little thing." Chloe laughed, remembering it from past battles, back when it was a Ledyba. "It's still so small and pathetic. Quick, let's one hit it with Take Down."

"Dodge and use Air Slash!" Marinette called.

Ledian easily dodges Furfrou's attack and attacks with Air Slash sending it back.

This gets Chloe irritated "Dark Pulse!"

Marinette grinned "Use Bug Buzz." Ledian takes the hit from the Dark Pulse but easily comes back and attacks with Bug Buzz, getting close to Furfrou. "Now use Mach Punch" Mach Punch hits, dealing allot of damage.

Chloe growls "Use Sucker Punch!"

"Double Edge!"

"What!?"

Double Edge hits, knocking Furfrou out.

"Furfrou is unable to battle. Ledian wins."
