Hi, everyone! Here's part two of the Origin of Ladybug and Cat Noir! I hope you'll enjoy it! And now, on with the story!
*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR MIRACULOUS!*
Narrator: Last time, Ash had entered a mysterious portal, hoping it would take him to the Reverse World, where he'll see Giratina, only to end up in a place called Paris, France! There, Ash had made some new friends and one frenemy! One of the new friends was Marinette Dupain-Cheng! But then, a villain known as Hawk Moth had created a supervillain out of a boy named Ivan with an akuma to reek havoc in the city! But luckily Ash had special power ups that help give him powers and he helped two superheroes named Ladybug and Cat Noir! But then havoc strikes again with multiple akumas! How will are heroes get out of this one?
Nadja: [standing to the side of a picture of one of Stoneheart's minions, tablet in hand] The stone beings are scattered all over Paris, and for the time being, they are showing no signs of movement. [a variety of pictures is shown] Police have cordoned off the area.
André: [on television alongside officer Roger] We won't stop until we find a way to get these people back to their normal selves, but for now, we're not making much headway.
The camera flips backs to Nadja standing next to a photo of Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Nadja: Paris is relying on our new guardian angels, Ladybug and Cat Noir, to save us all. Our lives depend on them.

Scene changes to where we see Pikachu spinning Ash's hat on its tail, then putting it on his head as Ash's voiceover reads the title of the next chapter!
Ash (voiceover): Pokémon meets Miraculous! Stoneheart! Origins Part 2!
Ash, Pikachu, and Marinette were watching the news while her father was washing the dishes!
Tom: [turns around and puts arm on Marinette's shoulder] Listen, I know how upsetting and scary this is, but don't worry, sweetie; we've got two superheroes looking out for Paris, and the best way of helping them is to show them that we're not scared, because we trust them.
Tom raises a fist and scrunches face with confidence and faith.
Ash: I couldn't agree more, Mr. Dupain-Cheng!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Marinette: But what if Ladybug fails? [looks down in shame]
Ash: [looks at her sadly] Hmm...
Tom: Then I'd come and save you. [holds piece of bread as a sword] Super Baker to the rescue!
Ash: And don't forget the boy with many powers! [chuckles]
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Marinette: [giggles and reaches up to give her father a peck on the cheek] Thanks, Super Dad! [to Ash] And you too, [pokes his arm playfully] Super Ash!
Ash: [giggles] [to Tom] Thanks again for letting me and Pikachu stay here, Mr. Dupain!
Tom: It's no trouble at all, son!
Marinette went up to her room to get her purse and Ash went to get his backpack. Marinette paused for a moment to look at her vanity drawer where she keeps her Miraculous. She opens the drawer and contemplates taking the case the Miraculous is in. Then, she places the case in her purse with certainty.
Ash: Hm? What are you doing, Marinette?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Marinette: I might just consider trying again! But no promised guarantees!
Ash: Awesome! You won't regret this, Marinette! Plus, you'll have me to help you every step of the way!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Marinette: Thanks, Ash! Come on! We'd better get to school!
Ash: Okay!
Soon, they went off to school! At Adrien's home, Nathalie is waiting for Adrien in the dining area.
Nathalie: Hmm, what's he doing?
The clock chimes once, as she looks for Adrien in his room but doesn't find him.
Nathalie: Adrien?
Gabriel: [near the staircase and entrance of the home, Nathalie and Adrien's bodyguard stand side by side; Gabriel is not pleased.] You didn't see him leave?! If anything has happened to my son, you'll be held responsible!
In the Streets of Paris, Adrien is running to school and away from his father.
Plagg: You're such a strange kid. Who would want to be at school when he can stay at home all day?
Adrien: You don't get it, Plagg. I've had enough of being shut up at home by my dad. I want to meet people and make friends! Go to a normal school like everyone else!
Plagg: [sighs] Uhhh, I think I'm feeling weak
Adrien: You know what's strange? [stops running; unhooks his bag and grabs a wedge of Camembert] The fact that all you eat is this disgusting, rotten-smelling Camembert cheese, [as Plagg eats the cheese] and then I have to smell like it 24/7. That's strange. [disgusted with Plagg and his behavior]
Plagg: [chimes in] If you want to be able to transform into a superhero, then stinky cheese is the deal, my friend!
Adrien: [scoffs] [continues to school]
Meanwhile, with Ash and Marinette, they arrived at school and Alya was showing them a blog she created!
Alya: Ladyblog, [hands Marinette her phone] bringing you all the latest news about the coolest superhero, Ladybug! How awesome is that?! [takes her phone back] Check out the number of views since I posted the video!
Ash: [amazed] [eyes sparkle] Wow! You created that blog?! That's so cool! You're amazing, Alya!
Pikachu: [amazed] PIKA PIKA...
Alya: Naturally!
Marinette: But why do you trust Ladybug so much? All these stone beings
Alya: [confidently] She's gonna handle 'em.
Ash: Yeah! I'm sure of it! Plus, with my power ups, I can help in anyway I can!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!
Marinette: But what if she's not really cut out to be a superhero even though everyone thinks she is?
Alya: What are you talking about, girl? Oh, wait. [comes to a realization] I know what this is about.
This caused Marinette to become flustered and nervous!
Ash: [nervous] Y-You do?
Pikachu: [sweats nervously] PIKACHU!
Alya: I absolutely do! [to Marinette] You're scared, but don't be! I've seen her with my own two eyes, girl! Ladybug is a true superheroine! She's going to protect us all! I believe in her.
Marinette looks down at her purse and is filled with confidence.
Alya: [wraps and arm around him] And you, Ash! With your skills and powers from those power ups, I may just add you onto the Ladyblog!
Ash: Whoa! Me on the Ladyblog?!
Pikachu: PIKA?
Alya: Sure! Everyone's calling you the boy with many powers! And it won't be just you, but Pikachu and that jackal of yours too!
Pikachu: [smiles] PIKACHU!
Ash: That sounds awesome!
Alya: By the way, I still want that explanation about Pikachu and that jackal!
Ash: [nervous] Um...mmm...eh...uh!
Ash looked at Pikachu who nodded to him as a sign that he should tell them!
Pikachu: [nods] PIKACHU!
Ash: [sighs] Okay! The thing is, girls…
That's when they noticed a group gathered around Ivan!
Ash: Huh? What's going on?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Alix: [to Ivan] So you really don't remember anything?
Juleka: You were totally going ballistic. It was so cool!
Kim: You were seriously out to crush me, dude!
Ivan: Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't myself…
That's when Ivan and Juleka noticed Ash coming over, and Juleka started to blush!
Ivan: Hey, Ash!
Juleka: [blushes nervously] H-Hey!
Ash: Hey, you guys!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Alix: Dude, we saw you on TV! You had raccoon ears and a tail and then you had pyrokinesis! It was awesome!
Ash: [giggles] Thanks so much!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Rose: Oh, [as she snatches up Pikachu] how cute! [nuzzles it] Ash, he's so cute!
Pikachu: [blushes] [happy] PIKA PIKA!
Ash: That's my buddy for you!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Max: Fascinating! A mouse at this size with a tail in the shape of a lightning bolt and pointy ears! Normally, a mouse has round ears and thin tails, but this one is truly extraordinary! What kind of mouse is he?
Ash: That's because my buddy's a Pokémon!
Everyone just looked at him with a look of confusion!
Alix: Uh, Poké-what-now?
Ash: Pokémon! I know you guys never heard of them, but that's what Pikachu is! It's one of the most extraordinary creatures! One of a kind! And well, there's something I wanna tell you all, and I don't know how I should put it!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Alya: Well, you can tell us either way! We won't judge!
Ash wasn't sure! He looked at Pikachu who nodded as a sign that he should tell them!
Pikachu: [nods] PIKACHU!
Ash: Okay! See, Pikachu and I came from another dimension!
Marinette and Alya: [shocked] SAY WHAT?!
Kim and Alix: [gasp deeply]
Max: Unbelievable!
Rose: [gasps]
Mylène: Another dimension?!
Ivan: No way!
Juleka: [smiles] Awesome!
Ash: Yeah! I know! It's kind of a shock! But it's true! See, I jumped into a portal hoping it would take me to see an old friend of mine, but I ended up here in Paris! And I don't know how it happened or how I'll be able to get back home! My friends and my mom back in my dimension are bound to be worried about me!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Now, his new friends felt sorry for their new friend! Except for one!
Chloé: [laughs]
Ash: [angry] What's so funny?!
Pikachu: [angry] PIKA PIKA!
Chloé: I always knew you were a misfit, Ketchum! You being from another dimension is ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!
Ash: [pouts] I am not a misfit! And I'm telling the truth!
Chloé: Well, you not being from here and not knowing anything about Paris proves that you are a misfit! And if you're telling the truth about these "Pokémon", then let's see some others!
Kim: [turns to Ash excitedly] Really?! You have more?!
Ash: Well, if the snob wants to see some more to prove that I'm not lying, [pulls out five PokéBalls] then she'll get her wish! [as he tosses them] 'Kay, gang! Come on out!
Dragonite: [appearing] BRWAR!
Gengar: [appearing] GENGAR!
Lucario: [appearing] MRAH MRAH!
Sirfetch'd: [appearing] SIRFETCH'D!
Infernape: [appearing] INFERNAPE!
Everyone except Chloé: Wow!
Dragonite: [hugs Marinette, Alya and Rose] BRWAR!
Alya: Whoa!
Marinette: Oh!
Rose: EEE! It's so cute! [hugs it back] It's so squishy and soft!
Dragonite: [happy] BRWAR!
Ash: That's my Dragonite! It tends to be quite a hugger!
Alya: I can see that!
Kim, Max, and Juleka were meeting Gengar!
Kim: Whoa! Cool! A ghost!
Max: In person!
Juleka: Awesome!
Gengar: [making a face] GENGAR GAR GAR GAR GAR!
Kim: [laughs] And it's funny too!
Gengar: GENGAR! [disappears through the floor]
Kim: Huh? Where'd it go? It disappeared!
Juleka: [smiles] Cool.
Gengar: [scares Chloé] GENGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
Chloé: GAH!
Gengar: [laughing] GEN GEN GEN GEN GEN GEN GENGAR!
Chloé: You stinking ghost! I oughta...!
Gengar: [hovers over her] GEN! [makes a face at her] GENGAR!
Ash: [chuckles] My Gengar has a habit of pulling pranks!
Kim: I can see that!
Nino: Awesome!
Alix: [laughs] Scared by a ghost!
Chloé: Ugh!
Alya, Nino, and Alix went over to Lucario!
Alix: And who's this one?
Ash: This is Lucario! I raised since it was a Riolu!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Lucario: MRAH!
Alya: That's pretty cool!
Alix: It looks pretty tough!
Lucario: [proud] MRAH MRAH!
Nino: And that chest spike looks pretty cool!
Juleka: Totally!
Ash: Yep! That's my Lucario for you!
Pikachu: PIKA PI!
Lucario: MRAH MRAH!
Chloé: Well, if you ask me, that thing is dangerous! Utterly dangerous!
Lucario: [angry] [red vein] [asking if that's a problem] RAH MRAH MRAH?!
Chloé: Well, seeing as how it could kill someone, yes it is a problem!
Ash: [gasps] [angry] Lucario wouldn't do such a thing!
Pikachu: [angrily agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Chloé: But what if you hugged it with the chest spike, huh? What then?
Lucario: [growls angrily] [about to pounce] MRAH!
Ash: [stops Lucario] Hold on, Lucario! Don't lose your temper over her! Please!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Lucario: [complying] MRAH!
Ash: Besides, you'll have your chance to prove that snob wrong, Lucario! [as Lucario folded its arms] You'll have your chance!
Sirfetch'd: SIRFETCH'D!
Alya: Yo, check out this one!
Sirfetch'd: SIR!
Rose: This one looks like a knight in shining armor!
Ash: Yep! That's my Sirfetch'd!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Sirfetch'd: [bows] SIRFETCH'D!
Rose: Ooh! And very chivalrous!
Ash: Yep! It's like a true knight!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Nino: It's even got its own sword and shield! Awesome!
Ash: Yep! Both made out of a leek!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Chloé: [scoffs] Seriously? Who would make a sword and shield out of a vegetable?
Ash: Some Pokémon have many talents, Chloé! It's Pokémon power!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Infernape: INFERNAPE!
Ash: And this last one is Infernape!
Infernape: [greeting] INFER INFERNAPE!
Ash: I had it since it was a Chimchar!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Infernape: INFER!
Kim: That's kinda cool!
Alix: I'll say! A fire monkey! It's awesome!
Infernape: [jumps up and swings from pole to pole] INFERNAPE!
Alya: And quite the acrobatic!
Rose: Oh! [pulls out a banana] Here, Infernape! Want some banana?
Infernape: INFER? [leaps down] [goes over to her] [smiles] INFERNAPE!
Rose: Here you go!
Infernape: [takes the banana] NAPE!
And it peeled the banana and began eating it! It even used Flamethrower to roast it a bit!
Alix: Wow! That's pretty cool!
Max: It used its fire to roast the banana!
Ash: Yep! That's Infernape for you!
Pikachu: PIKA PI!
Ash: [to Chloé] You believe me now when I say I'm from another dimension, Chloé the Snob?
Chloé: Hmph! Well played, Ketchum! Well played!
Ash: Anyway, are you feeling okay, Ivan? Feeling better after yesterday?
Ivan: I... I don't know. I don't remember much of what happened.
Ash: You were basically turned into a stone being by the name of Stoneheart and you were out to get Kim! You had a pretty good throw when you tossed me and Pikachu away while I was using my raccoon power!
Chloé: Pff! [scoffs at Ivan] Once a monster, always a monster.
Ivan became furious and stormed off!
Chloé: Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
Ash then glared at Chloé for what she said!
Ash: Not cool, Chloé!
Pikachu: [angry] PIKA PIKA!
Ash: Ivan, [goes after him] wait!
Alya: [stops him] It's best we give him some space for now. He'll be alright.
Ash: [nods] Hm.
From Hawk Moth's lair, the villain started to feel Ivan's anger rise again!
Hawk Moth: Yes feel the burn of those words. Lose your temper, Ivan! Your akuma awaits you. [taps on the cane that is holding the akuma]
Outside, Adrien had arrived at school, but Nathalie, exiting from the bodyguard's car, tries to stop him.
Nathalie: Adrien! Don't do this! Your father will be furious!
Adrien: Tell him you got here too late. Please! [runs inside of the school]
Nathalie: [sighs]
Alya: How could you say that to Ivan? You're the real Stoneheart.
Ash: Yeah! You're nothing but a snobby, snooty and stuck-up brat!
Pikachu: [angry] PIKA PI!
Chloé: Ugh, so I'm the one who broke Sabrina's dad's arm, am I? Just because your footage of those lame superheroes was shown on TV, doesn't mean you have to get so high and mighty. [blows a bubble gum at her]
Alya: You little
Chloé: Look out, she's angry! She's going to split her underwear and turn into a huge muscly monster!
Alya: [huffs] [storms off]
Ash: Alya, wait! [turns to Chloé] [angry] That wasn't a nice thing to say!
Pikachu: [angrily agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Chloé: Well, I don't care about nice!
Ash: [growls angrily]
Pikachu: [sticks his tongue at her] PIKA!
Ash: [angry] You think you're so high and mighty! You think that just because you're the mayor's daughter you get to push down others and walk all over them! Well, guess what? While I'm around, you won't be doing any of that! Because if there's one thing I can't stand, it's snooty, snobby and stuck-up brats like you!
Pikachu: [angrily agreeing] PIKACHU!
Chloé: [gasps] How did you know I was the mayor's daughter?!
Ash: Just a hunch! Your little high and mighty act isn't gonna work on me, Chloé the Snob! Understand?!
Chloé: You don't scare me!
Adrien: Hey, Chloé!
Ash: Huh?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Lucario: MRAH?
Chloé: Adrikins! You came! [rushes over and hugs him]
The other students see Adrien and rush over toward him, shouting in recognition.
Ash: I guess that's Adrien?
Pikachu: PIKACHU.
Ash: [returns his Pokémon] Everyone except Lucario, return!
Then, the Pokémon went back into their PokéBalls, except for Pikachu!
Alix: Aren't you going to put Pikachu in one of those balls too?
Ash: [smiles] Nah! Pikachu hates traveling that way! It likes to be out here with me!
Pikachu: [smiles] [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Alix: Oh!
Rose: That's so sweet!
Ash: Yeah! It builds a bigger bond that way!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Nathalie: [gets in the car and speaks to Adrien's bodyguard] I'll handle it.
The car then drove off. Meanwhile, Ash and Marinette went to speak with Ivan.
Ivan: [notices them] Hm? [takes his headphones off]
Ash: Hey, Ivan!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Marinette: You know, you should tell Mylène how you feel.
Ivan: I don't know what you're talking about.
Marinette: Come on, I saw the way you look at her.
Ash: We both did!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Lucario: MRAH!
But Ivan just scowled!
Marinette: No! No negative emotions, Ivan. What I mean is, be positive. I'm sure Mylène has feelings for you too. Go talk to her.
Ash: And remember, just be yourself!
Ivan: I'm no good with words anyway.
Marinette: But who needs words? You could draw her a picture, send her flowers…
Ash: Make her something out of clay!
Ivan: I could write her a song?
Ash: That could work! If using words in conversation doesn't work, then singing should help!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Marinette: That's a great idea! What girl wouldn't want a love song written especially for her? Go for it, Ivan, and, uh-, stay positive.
Ash: Yeah! You don't wanna turn into Stoneheart again!
Ivan then ran off excited!
Hawk Moth: [angry] Negative emotions They're fading! Ughhhh…
Ash: I'm glad to see he's feeling better!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!
Marinette: Me too! Say, Ash? Who do you like?
Ash: What do I like? Hmmm. Gee, I don't know!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Marinette: Wait! You mean you never experienced love before?
Ash: Well, more or less! But I don't really understand it!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Marinette: Wow! Just wow!
Ash: [rubs his neck sheepishly] Yeah, I know!
Marinette: Well, don't worry, Ash! I'm gonna teach you the ways of how people show love!
Ash: You are?!
Marinette: Yep! And we'll start after school today! I'm going to take you to see a romantic comedy movie at the movie theater for research!
Ash: [smiles] Okay! Seeing a movie sounds fun!
Marinette: Yeah! Now, come on! We better get to class!
Ash: Right! Let's go!
Adrien and Chloé were on their way to class, as Adrien was signing autographs in the hallway.
Unknown boy: Could I have your autograph, please?
Unknown girl: Adrien, can I have an autograph, Adrien, I'm a huge fan!
Chloé: Wow. This is your seat, Adrikins. I saved it for you. Right in front of me!
Adrien: Thanks, Chloé. [sees Nino] Uh Hey! Adrien. [offers his hand to Nino for a handshake]
Nino: You're friends with Chloé, then, huh?
Adrien: [sees Chloé and Sabrina putting gum on a seat] Hey! What's that all about?
Chloé: The brats that sat here yesterday need a little attitude adjustment. I'm just commanding a bit of respect, that's all.
Adrien: You think that's really necessary?
Chloé: Ah, you've got a lot to learn about school culture, Adrikins. Watch the master.
Ash, Marinette, and Alya were on their way to class!
Marinette: Alya, wouldn't you like to be a superhero and go out and fight monsters and villains?
Alya: Totally! I'm not scared of anyone! Why?
Marinette: Oh! No reason [puts the Miraculous case in Alya's bag]
Ash: [whispers] Marinette! What are you doing?! That's your Miraculous!
Pikachu: [whispers] PIKA PI!
Marinette: [whispers] Like I said, no promised guarantees!
But before he could say anything else, he and Marinette see Adrien picking at the gum in Marinette's seat!
Marinette: Hey! What are you doing?
Adrien: Uhhh I…
Chloé and Sabrina: [laugh]
Ash: [glares at them] Did you two do this?!
Pikachu: [angry] PIKA PI!
Lucario: [angry] MRAH MRAH!
Chloé: [innocently] Who? Us? No! Never!
Lucario: [calling her a liar] MRAH MRAH!
Chloé: Excuse me?!
Lucario: [saying she heard it] MRAH MRAH!
Chloé: I never lie!
Lucario: [rolls its eyes] MRAH MRAH!
Ash: I know it was you, Chloé! You're trying to make Marinette a laughing stock by putting gum on her seat! Well, I'm not having it!
Marinette: Okay. I get it. Good job, you three. Very funny.
Adrien: No, no, I was just trying to take this off!
Ash: You were?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Marinette: Oh, really?
Chloé and Sabrina: [continue to laugh]
Ash: [growls] Those two!
Marinette: You're friends with Chloé, right?
Adrien: Why do people keep saying that?
Marinette: [huffs] [goes to her seat]
Adrien went to his seat sadly!
Chloé: Now do you see what I mean about respect?
Adrien: [sighs]
Ash: [goes to his seat] [angry] Nice job, Chloé! You got him into trouble!
Pikachu: [angry] PIKA PIKA!
Chloé: Like I said, Ketchum! I don't care about nice! Besides! [looks at Lucario] [smirks] Maybe Lucario can use those spikes on its paws to scrape it off!
Lucario: [angry] [red vein] [growls]
Marinette: I know I've seen him somewhere before. [sees images of Gabriel and Adrien Agreste on Alya's cellphone] Of course! He's the son of my fave fashion designer, Gabriel Agreste!
Alya: Daddy's boy, teen supermodel, AND Chloé's buddy? Ha! Forget it.
Nino: Why didn't you tell them it was Chloé's idea?
Adrien: I've known Chloé since I was a little kid. I know she's not perfect, but I can't throw her under the bus. She's like my only friend.
Nino: I'm Nino, and it's time for you to make some new friends, dude. [offers hand to Adrien for handshake; Adrien accepts]
Adrien then turned over to Ash with a curious look.
Adrien: [in his head] That boy! I've seen him before!
Nino: Something on your mind, dude?
Adrien: Uh, no! It's nothing!
Mylène: [leaving the bathroom] Oh no, I'm gonna be late.
But just as she was leaving the bathroom, she bumped into Ivan!
Mylène: Ahh! Ivan, you scared me.
Ivan: I made this for you. [starts playing loud music and sings in a loud, shrill voice, reading the lyrics of his song] Mylène, be serene, don't be so mean!
Mylène runs away, scared. Ivan gets angry, wads up his lyric sheet, throws his music-playing phone on the floor and steps on it, and sits down. Hawk Moth sensed his rage from his lair!
Hawk Moth: Yes. This is what I've been waiting for. You know the way, evil akuma. Track down your prey! Fly away and evilize him!
The akuma held in Hawk Moth's cane exits it as it flew out the window! Back in the locker room. Ivan is upset. That's when the akuma flew in and infects Ivan's wadded-up song lyrics.
Hawk Moth: [from his lair] This is your second chance, Stoneheart, and this time you have extra help. No one will stop you from capturing the love of your life. Just remember, I'll need something in return.
Ivan is akumatized into Stoneheart again. He opens his eyes and all the other stone beings across Paris start waking up. Back in the classroom...
Miss Bustier: Agreste, Adrien?
Nino: [quietly to Adrien] You say "present".
Adrien: [jumps up with his hand raised] Uh, present! [all the other students laugh; Adrien sits down, and he and Nino do a fist-bump]
Miss Bustier: Bourgeois, Chloé?
Chloé: Present!
Miss Bustier: Bruel, Ivan?
Stoneheart: [enters, breaking down the door] Present! Mylène?
Chaos started to erupt as the students shouted in fear!
Ash: Oh no! Not again!
Pikachu: [worried] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [Aura Sphere move] MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...
Ash: Wait! If you hit him, he'll only get bigger!
But it was too late! The Aura Sphere hit Stoneheart and he grew bigger!
Ash: Lucario!
Lucario: [facepalms] MRAH!
Stoneheart then grabbed Mylène!
Mylène: Let go of me, Ivan!
Stoneheart: I'm not Ivan anymore. I'm Stoneheart.
Mylène: Why are you doing this?
Stoneheart: So you and I can be together forever!
Chloé: [calls her father on her phone] Daddy, the monster is back!
Stoneheart grabbed Chloé too!
Chloé: [screams]
Then he broke a hole through the wall and jumped out of the school!
Mylène: Put us down, Ivan!
Alya: [to Marinette] Come on! Let's follow him!
Marinette: Uh Oh, no. You go. I'm finding myself a safe place to hide.
Alya: Girl, you're gonna miss Ladybug in action!
Marinette: [picks up Alya's bag and holds it out to Alya] You and Ladybug will both be better off without me.
Ash: Marinette, no!
Pikachu: PIKA PI!
Marinette: I'm sorry!
Alya: If you say so! [runs out of the room]
Marinette: Wait! Your bag! [runs after Alya]
As they were running after her, Ash was talking with Marinette!
Ash: Why wouldn't you just accept that you're the chosen one for the Miraculous?
Pikachu: PIKA!
Marinette: Ash, you saw what happened! None of this would've happened if I had just remembered to capture the akuma!
Ash: Well, so what if you made a mistake! We all make mistakes and that's how we learn from them! Take it from me! I've made countless mistakes during my travels and I learned from those mistakes to become a better Pokémon Trainer!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!
Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH MRAH!
Marinette: Really?
Ash: Of course! Just trust yourself and never give up!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Lucario: MRAH!
Marinette wasn't sure about this!
Marinette: That really means a lot, Ash! But I'm still not so sure! We've gotta find Alya before she gets seriously hurt! [runs off]
Ash: Hey! Wait for me! [follows her]
["Who's That Pokémon?" time]
[as a magnifying glass shows a black paw with a spike on it with Pikachu standing with a PokéBall]
Ash: Who's that Pokémon?
[The Pokémon reveals to be Lucario]
Pikachu: PIKA?
Lucario: MRAH!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
[End]
Elsewhere, Adrien was in the locker room!
Adrien: My first day of school and I don't even make it past roll call.
Plagg: A day off? Now that's what I'm talking about!
Adrien: Oh, no no no no. We've got homework to do.
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out!
And Adrien transformed into Cat Noir! Outside the school, Stoneheart is still holding Mylène and Chloé captive.
Chloé: You have no idea who you're dealing with. My daddy, the mayor, will bring in the police, the army, the entire cavalry!
Cat Noir: And don't forget the superheroes! [hits Stoneheart with his staff]
But then, Stoneheart started to grow!
Cat Noir: Oh no. My bad.
Chloé: Ugh. Super incompetent, you mean.
Stoneheart: Ugh! You wanted the cavalry? Well, here it is!
Then, the stone beings gathered and surrounded Cat Noir!
Stoneheart: Seize him!
Then, the stone beings started to attack, but Cat Noir dodged them!
Mylène: [to Cat Noir] Watch out! [as Stoneheart walks off] Ivan! Where are we going?
Stoneheart: To deliver a message. Then we'll be brought together forever by a pretty black butterfly.
Chloé: Ugh. All this lovey-dovey stuff is making me sick.
Stoneheart: Don't worry, little monster. I'm gonna take care of you, too.
Chloé: [cringes]
Meanwhile, Alya is running to where the Stonehearts and Cat Noir are battling.
Cat Noir: If you can hear me, Ladybug, I could use a little help!
Alya: What's she waiting for?
Meanwhile, Marinette and Ash see the stone beings. One of them knocks over a car and is about to hit Alya!
Ash: Oh no! Alya!
Pikachu: [worried] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [worried] MRAH MRAH!
Cat Noir throws his stick to save her, but Alya got trapped! Then, one of the stone beings grabbed Cat Noir!
Cat Noir: Let go, you rockhead!
Alya: HELP!
Ash: Marinette! Remember what I said! Trust yourself and don't give up!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Marinette is suddenly filled with courage. She gets the case out of Alya's bag and puts on the Miraculous. Then, Tikki appears, happy to see Marinette again.
Tikki: [raising her arms] Mmmm!
Ash: Good to see you again, Tikki!
Pikachu: [happy] PIKACHU!
Tikki: You too, Ash!
Marinette: I think I need Ladybug!
Tikki: I knew you'd come around!
Marinette: Well, I'm still not sure I'm up for this, but Alya's in danger. I can't sit back and do nothing.
Ash: Then, let's go go to the rescue!
Pikachu: [determined] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [determined] MRAH MRAH!
Marinette: My thoughts exactly!
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ha!
And Marinette transformed into Ladybug!
Ash: Good to have you back, Ladybug!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Ladybug: Good to be back! But now, we have to save Alya!
Ash: Right! Pikachu, puck one of those stars from my backpack!
Pikachu: PIKA! [pucks a star from his backpack] PIKACHU!
Ash: Thanks!
Ash then grabbed the star and became invincible as the colors on his swapped back and forth!
Invincible Ash: Hold on, Alya! Invincible Ash to the rescue!
He then used his strength from the invincibility to lift the car and toss it behind him and over Ladybug!
Invincible Ash: [helps her up] You okay, Alya?
Alya: I am now!
Then, Alya hugged Ash!
Alya: Thank you!
Invincible Ash: No problem! I'm just glad you're safe!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Then, the invincibility wore off!
Ladybug: You can't stay here. It's too dangerous.
Ash: Yeah! You should find some place safe to take cover in! We'll handle Stoneheart!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Lucario: MRAH!
Ladybug grabbed Cat Noir's staff and went after the stone beings!
Ash: [tosses a PokéBall] Dragonite, I choose you!
Dragonite: [appearing] BRWAR!
Ash: [hops onto Dragonite's back] Let's go, Dragonite!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Dragonite: [takes flight] BRWAR!
Ladybug leapt over the stone beings' heads and threw Cat Noir's staff to the said hero!
Ladybug: Cat Noir! Extend it!
And he did just that and jumped out of the stone being's hand to the ground, but Ladybug pull him to safety by hanging him upside down from a lamp post with her yo-yo.
Ladybug: Sorry I was late.
Cat Noir: M'lady, have I ever told you turn my world upside down?
Ladybug: Oh, you're quite the jokester, aren't you?
Ash: Well, I thought it was funny! [chuckles]
Pikachu: [giggles] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [alerting] MRAH MRAH!
Ash: Uh oh! We've got company!
The Stonehearts were closing in on them!
Ash: Dragonite, use Hurricane!
Dragonite: [Hurricane move] BRWAR!
That blew the stone beings back!
Ash: That oughta buy us some time!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Cat Noir: Hey, aren't we going to take care of 'em?
Ladybug: [uses her yo-yo as a phone, most likely showing the news with helicopter footage of the original, to track down Stoneheart] No. If we wanna save them all, then we go to the source. That one!
Ash: Of course! We take down the general!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Stoneheart is in the Eiffel Tower, with the police surrounding him!
André: [through a megaphone] I demand my daughter's safe return!
Chloé: Daddy!
Stoneheart: You know what? You're welcome to her! [grunts and throws Chloé away]
Chloé: [screams]
André: [screams in fright]
Chloé: Help! I promise I'll be nice to everyone, say please and thank you all- AH! [as Ladybug catches her] I didn't promise.
Ladybug: What?
Ash: [as he facepalms] Oh brother!
Pikachu: [facepalms] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [facepalms] MRAH!
Ash: I'm just glad she's not seriously hurt!
Chloé then hugs her father!
André: [hugs her back] My little princess
Roger: We're clear to attack!
Ladybug: Wait! No, don't attack them! You know it'll only make it worse!
Roger: I have a new plan, unlike you! Move aside and let the pros do their thing. You've already failed once!
Ladybug felt hurt from that!
Ash: Officer Roger, please! Just because she failed once doesn't mean she'll make the same mistake twice! She has what it takes!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!
Ladybug: He's right, you know! If I had captured Stoneheart's akuma the first time around, none of this would have happened! I knew I wasn't the right one for this job
Cat Noir: No. He's wrong, because without you, she'd no longer be here. [they look at Chloe] And because without us, they won't make it, and we'll prove that to 'em. Trust me on this. Okay?
Ladybug: Okay.
Ash: Then, let's take him down and capture his akuma!
Pikachu: [determined] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [determined] MRAH MRAH!
Dragonite: [determined] BRWAR!
Suddenly, Stoneheart began to cough and spat out a swarm of akumas that formed Hawk Moth's face!
Ash: Whoa! What's that?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Lucario: MRAH?!
Dragonite: BRWAR?!
Hawk Moth: People of Paris, listen carefully. I am Hawk Moth.
Ladybug and Cat Noir: Hawk Moth?
Ash: Hawk Moth?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Hawk Moth: Ladybug, Cat Noir, give me the ladybug earrings and the cat ring now. You've done enough damage to these innocent people!
Ladybug: [claps sarcastically while walking forward] Nice try, Hawk Moth, but we know who the bad guy is. Let's not reverse the roles here. Without you, none of these innocent victims would be transformed into villains. Hawk Moth, no matter how long it takes, we will find you, and YOU will hand us YOUR Miraculous!
Ash: Yeah! Because good guys triumph at the speed of light! Surrender now, or you're in fight!
Ladybug: [jumps up and uses her yo-yo] Time to de-evilize!
She then uses her yo-yo to make Hawk Moth disappear by catching multiple akumas!
Ash: [eyes sparkling] Wow! So cool!
Pikachu: [eyes sparkling] PIKA PIKA!
Lucario: [impressed] MRAH!
Dragonite: [happy] BRWAR!
Ladybug: Let me make this promise to you. No matter who wants to harm you, Ladybug and Cat Noir will do everything in our power to keep you safe!
Ash: And don't forget the boy with many powers!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Ladybug opens her yo-yo, and a busload of purified butterflies come out! Marinette's parents and the students are thrilled!
Ash: Alright!
Pikachu: PI PIKACHU!
Lucario: MRAH!
Dragonite: BRWAR!
Cat Noir: Wow. Whoever she is beneath that mask, I love that girl.
Ash: She certainly is a thrill to be seen!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Hawk Moth: [disgusted] Agh! That's the problem with superheroes. They're too heroic! Stoneheart, they're trying to take your loved one away from you. You must snatch their Miraculouses so they will be powerless against you!
Stoneheart: Okay, Hawk Moth.
Mylène: Help me!
Ash, Ladybug and Cat Noir came up to Stoneheart!
Stoneheart: You'll never take Mylène from me! Come to me, my stone beings! [climbs up the Tower]
Then, the stone beings started climbing the tower!
Ash: Uh oh! We're surrounded!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Cat Noir: What do we do now? We can't attack him.
Ladybug: Yes, but we know where the akuma is.
Cat Noir: In his clenched fist. The one he's holding Mylène with. So
Ladybug: So we know he's in love with her. That's it! We don't separate Stoneheart and Mylène: we bring them closer together! They're made for one another! It's just that they don't know it yet.
Ash: Exactly what I was thinking, Ladybug! Exactly!... But uh, how are we gonna do that?
Cat Noir: Ugh. Not really following you, but guess I better trust you. Something tells me that this is how it's gonna be from here on out.
Ladybug and Cat Noir started to head to the top of the Tower!
Ash: Lucario and Dragonite, you two try to hold them off! [pulls out a Super Leaf] I'm gonna help play matchmaker!
Then, Ash powered up to Raccoon Ash! The stone beings started to climb higher!
Raccoon Ash: Show these rock heads what Pokémon power can do! [flies up]
Lucario: [getting in a fighting stance] MRAH!
Dragonite: [determined] BRWAR!
Meanwhile, up at the top...
Mylène: Help! I'm scared of heights!
Ladybug: Everything's gonna be alright!
Raccoon Ash: We'll handle this!
Pikachu: [determined] PIKA PIKA!
Stoneheart: [roars]
Cat Noir: How are you planning to get them closer than they already are?
Ladybug: By using our powers! [throws her yo-yo into the air] Lucky Charm!
Then, a parachute appeared!
Ladybug: A parachute? What am I supposed to do with this?
Raccoon Ash: Maybe use it for if they happen to fall?
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!
Cat Noir: [gets thrown away by a stone being and screams] You sure you know what you're doing?
Ladybug: We'll find out soon enough! [uses her yo-yo to tie Stoneheart's hand] His hand! Get ready!
She starts pulling his hand and Mylène kisses Stoneheart!
Ash: Whoa!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Lucario: MRAH?!
Dragonite: [happy] BRWAR!
Stoneheart lets go of her in shock, as Mylène grabs on to his finger. Cat Noir grabs the akumatized paper and hits it up with his staff, as Ladybug grabs the paper, breaking it.
Ladybug: Home run! [the akuma flies away] No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. De-evilize Huh?
Ivan and Mylène began to fall!
Ivan and Mylène: [scream]
Raccoon Ash: Oh no! Ivan! Mylène!
Pikachu: [worried] PIKACHU!
Ladybug: Cat Noir, take care of Ivan!
Cat Noir: Cataclysm!
He then uses his Cataclysm on the Eiffel Tower, making part of it fall. He slides on it and rescues Ivan. However, Cat Noir lost his grip!
Raccoon Ash: Oh no! Quick, Dragonite! Catch them!
Dragonite: [catches them] BRWAR!
Raccoon Ash: Oh, thank goodness! Ladybug, catch Mylène! Quick!
Luckily, she caught her just in time!
Ladybug: [catches the akuma with her yo-yo] Gotcha!
She then pulls the parachute out, as she and Mylène landed safely! She then releases the akuma, which turned into a normal butterfly.
Ladybug: Bye-bye, little butterfly. [about to toss the Lucky Charm into the air when she stopped and looked at Ash] Hey, Ash! Wanna get in on this?
Ash: [gasps excited] I'd love to! [takes hold] Ready?
Ash and Ladybug: Miraculous Ladybug!
They then threw the Lucky charm into the air, as its energy turned everything back to normal, and the stone beings were turned back into people!
Cat Noir: Whoa. Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
Ash: Yeah! It's beautiful! It's spectacular!
Ladybug: It's...
Ash and Ladybug: Miraculous!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Hawk Moth: This is just the beginning, Ladybug. You and Cat Noir may have won this battle, but I will win the war. I will get your Miraculouses. I will get the absolute power! And then my secret dream will come true!
He then stomped his cane in frustration about Ash!
Hawk Moth: And that boy will not interfere again!
Then, the window in his lair closed!
Ladybug: [to Ivan and Mylène] I think you two have things to talk about. Hm?
Ash: Yeah! I think it's time you told each other how you feel!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ivan: [embarrassed] Oh, uh I... Uh
Ladybug: Maybe it would help if you read the lyrics to Ivan's song. [gives the paper to Mylène]
Mylène: [reading the lyrics] Wow, it's really beautiful. It's a shame you can't hear them when you scream. I mean, when you sing.
Ivan: It was scary, wasn't it. Is that why you left? I'm sorry, I'll be gentle.
Then, Mylène hugged him, much to his surprise as he blushed!
Ash: [chuckles] Well, whaddya know!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Ladybug: Oh, they're so made for each other.
Cat Noir: Like us two. [his Miraculous beeps]
Ladybug: Uh oh. You see that? Time to split. See you soon, Cat Noir.
Cat Noir: Can't wait, m'lady. [bows before he leaves]
Ash: No doubt those two are made for each other too!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Ash: Guess we better head back to the bakery!
He started to walk off when a certain Alpha Pokémon appeared!
Arceus: Greetings, Ash!
Ash: [happily gasps] Arceus!
Pikachu: [happy] PIKACHU!
Arceus: I was watching you, Ash! And you have succeeded well in helping those superheroes! But the reason I came to you was to tell you the reason why you were sent here!
Ash: Really? Why is that?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Arceus: That portal you thought would take you to the Reverse World was actually caused by Palkia! I've asked it to create that portal so you could come here and help Ladybug and Cat Noir in the fight against Hawk Moth! And you have succeeded well! I brought those power ups from another dimension for you to use to help in your fight! And you seem to be troubled before helping them to know as to how you'll get back home!
Ash: Really?! Awesome! But, how am I gonna get back home?
Arceus: If you wish to go back home, that is your choice! But what does your gut say? Does your gut say that you should stay to help fight or to go home?
Ash: I guess it would want me to stay here to help my new friends! But what about my mom and my friend, Goh, and Professor Cerise?
Arceus: I can fix that! Pull out your Rotom Phone!
Ash: Okay! [pulls out his Rotom Phone]
Arceus then used his power on Ash's Rotom Phone!
Arceus: I have given your Rotom Phone an interdimensional phone feature! This way you can call your mother and your friends! After all, they're worried sick about you! You should call them! But before you do, I wish to give you something that will enhance your power up powers!
Ash: [excited] Really?! What is it?!
Then, he made some plates appear!
Arceus: These plates will help you with the enhancement of your power-ups!
Ash: Awesome! How do they work?
Arceus: The Flame Plate will enhance your fire power and give you heat resistance and the ability to melt metal! The Splash Plate will make you able to move and control water and make you breathe underwater! Even though that's what the frog suit does! And the Meadow Plate will make you able to control plant life! And all the others are just as powerful!
Ash: Awesome!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Arceus: Yes! They will be kept in this bag! Never let them get into the wrong hands! Now, I must be going! You should call your mother and your friends so they won't have to worry!
Ash: Yes, Arceus! Thank you!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Arceus: My pleasure! [as he fades away] Farewell for now!
Ash: Now, I'd better call everyone! [dials his Rotom Phone]
Meanwhile...
Goh: Where could Ash be?
Then...
Goh's Rotom Phone: [ringing] You have a call from Ash! You have a call from Ash!
Goh: [gasps] Finally! [answers it] Hello?!
Ash: Hey, Goh!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Goh: Ash! Oh, thank goodness you're okay! Where are you?
Ash: This is gonna sound crazy, but the thing is, I'm in a different dimension!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Goh: A different dimension?!
Cinderace: CINDERACE?!
Grookey: GROOKEY?
Ash: Yeah! I'm in a place called Paris, France! Reason for it is because of Palkia and Arceus!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Goh: Palkia and Arceus?!
Cinderace: RACE?!
Ash: It's true! Arceus gave my Rotom Phone the ability to make calls across dimensions so I can call you and then Mom to make sure I'm okay and you don't have to worry!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Goh: Okay! I'm just glad you're okay!
Ash: Yep! I'm gonna call my mom now! We'll do a dual call!
Then, he did a dual call!
Delia: Hello? This the Ketchum residence!
Ash: Hi, Mom! It's me!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Delia: [gasps] Ash! Oh, thank goodness you're okay! Where are you, honey?
Ash: This is gonna sound crazy, Mom, but me and Pikachu are in another dimension!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Delia: Another dimension?
Ash: It's true!
Delia: Well, I wouldn't be surprised! You're prone to get yourself into these kinds of situations!
Ash: Yep! That's how I roll! I even helped save a city from a new bad guy!
Delia: Which city and what bad guy?
Ash: It's a city called Paris and the bad guy's name is Hawk Moth! He was able to take control of one of my new friends by turning him into a supervillain from negative emotions!
Delia: Oh dear! Well, I think you should stay there and help your new friends in the fight against Hawk Moth!
Goh: But, what about the World Coronation Series? Ash is still taking part in it and is in the Ultra Class!
Ash: Don't worry! I'll take care of it!
Delia: Okay! You take care, son! I love you!
Ash: Love you too, Mom!
Then, he hung up!
Goh: I better get going too! I can't wait to see the look on Professor Cerise's face when I tell him this!
Ash: If anything, he'll definitely be in shock!
Goh: Yeah! I'll talk to you later, Ash!
Ash: Later, Goh!
Then, he hung up!
Ash: Well, now that that's taken care of, let's head back to the bakery!
Pikachu: PIKA PI!
Soon, they arrived back at the bakery!
Ash: I'm home!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Sabine: Welcome back, Ash!
Tom: Glad to see you're in one piece!
Ash: Thanks! It's all thanks to Ladybug and Cat Noir!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Sabine: I know! They were amazing!
Tom then took out a tray of croissants!
Tom: And I made croissants!
Ash: [eyes sparkling] Awesome! Can I have one, please?
Tom: Of course!
Ash took one and took a bite out of it!
Ash: Wow! That's good!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Tom: Well then, take as many as you want! They are for the boy with many powers who helped Ladybug and Cat Noir save Paris!
Ash: Awesome! Thanks so much! [gives one to Pikachu] Here, buddy!
Pikachu: CHA! [eats one] PIKACHU!
Ash: You like it?
Pikachu: [affirmative] PIKA!
Ash: [chuckles]
Sabine: If you're looking for Marinette, she's up in her room!
Ash: No problem!
Then, he went upstairs through the ceiling door!
[knock knock knock!]
Marinette: Come in!
Ash: [enters through the floor door] Hey, Marinette!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKACHU!
Marinette: Oh! Hey, Ash!
Ash: Marinette, you were so cool out there!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Marinette: Thanks, Ash! By the way, where were you? When I saw you weren't behind me I got a little worried!
Ash: Oh, don't worry! I just had a talk with my old friend, Arceus!
Marinette: Arce-what?!
Ash: Arceus is the Mythical Pokémon from my world! It was because of Palkia, a Legendary Pokémon, that I came here to Paris!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Marinette: Wow! But, if you found why you came here, how come you didn't decide to go home?
Ash: Because I'm gonna be here to stay! Besides, someone's gotta help Ladybug and Cat Noir protect the city from Hawk Moth!
Pikachu: [agreeing] [determined] PIKA PIKACHU!
Marinette: That's awesome! [hugs Ash] Thank you! And it was because of you that I was able to pluck up some courage and save the day! And I think that could make us best friends!
Ash: [tints a blush] No problem, Marinette! That's what friends are for!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Tikki saw this and smiled! She then flew over to them!
Tikki: Seems to me like you two are made for each other!
Marinette: [blushes] Wait! Me and him? No no no no no no! We're just friends, Tikki!
Ash: Yeah! Besides, I'm still learning about love!
Tikki: [giggles]
That's when she and Marinette noticed the bag he had!
Marinette: What's in the bag?
Ash: Special plates with special powers Arceus gave me!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Tikki: Ooh! Can we see?
Ash: Sure!
Then, he took out the 19 plates!
Ash: These plates were given to me to enhance my power! Like the Flame Plate! It'll help enhance my fire power, make me heat resistant and I can melt metal!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Marinette and Tikki: Whoa!
Ash: With these, we'll be able to beat any future villains Hawk Moth decides to send out!
Marinette: Awesome! Something tells me this is gonna be the start of a heroic friendship!
Tikki: I agree!
Ash: Yep! But there's a catch! If these were to fall into the wrong hands... Well, let's just say you wouldn't want to be nearby!
Marinette: Don't worry! No matter what, we'll never let the Miraculous or these plates fall into the wrong hands!
Ash: Yeah! [holds out his fist for a fist bump] Pound it?
Marinette: [smiles] [returns the fist bump] Pound it!
Ash: Yeah! Oh! Right! [as he pulls out his Rotom Phone and dials a few numbers] I wanna introduce you to a friend of mine and my mom!
Marinette: Huh?
Ash: You'll see!
Then...
Goh and Delia: Hello?
Ash: Hey, Goh! Hey, Mom!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Delia: Oh! Hi, honey!
Goh: Hey, Ash! What's up?
Ash: I wanna introduce you to one of my new friends! [does a face time] Mom! Goh! I'd like you to meet one of my new friends! This is Marinette! Marinette, this my mom, and my friend from the Pokémon world, Goh!
Goh: Oh! Uh, hi there, Marinette!
Delia: Hello there!
Marinette: Uh, hi! Nice to meet you both!
Delia: It's so nice that my son has made a new friend!
Marinette: Oh! Well, he's made more friends then just me! And probably two frenemies! Like that snob, Chloé, and her "BFF", Sabrina!
Goh: That sounds like trouble!
Grookey: GROOKEY!
Marinette: Believe me, Chloé is nothing but cruel!
Ash: Yeah! She thinks that just because she's the mayor's daughter, she can push down others and walk all over them! Well, she's not doing that me! Because if there's one thing I can't stand, it's snobby, snooty and stuck-up brats like Chloé!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Delia: You know, that's just what your father would say! [to Marinette] By the way, Marinette! How's my son been behaving?
Ash: [embarrassed] Mom!
Marinette: Oh, Ash has been a great friend to be with! He's been no trouble at all!
Delia: I'm glad to hear that!
Goh: By the way, did you handle the situation with the World Coronation Series?
Ash: Not yet! I will once I hang up! I gotta get ready for bed anyway!
Goh: Okay then! Talk to you later, Ash!
Delia: Goodnight, sweetie! I love you!
Ash: I love you too, Mom!
Then, he hung up!
Marinette: Your mom and your friend seem nice! And what was that about a "World Coronation Series"?
Ash: I'll explain tomorrow! [as he texts Leon] Let me just handle a few things!
He texted to Leon: "Hey, Leon! I'm currently out of the Pokémon world due to dimensional travel and I plan to put myself on hold in the World Coronation Series! I hope you'll understand!"
After waiting a minute, Leon responded back! He responded: "No problem, Ash! It's perfectly fine! You won't have to worry about battles until you're able to go back home!"
Ash: [texts] "Thank you!"
The next day, Ash, Marinette, and Alya were walking to school!
Alya: So, by the time I biked to the Eiffel Tower, it was all over. I'm way bummed.
Marinette: Don't worry. You'll get your scoop eventually.
Ash: Yeah! Don't give up until the end!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Alya: You're right. Next target: Ladybug, an exclusive interview!
Marinette: Ooh. Sounds exciting.
Ash: I'll say! Seeing her in person!
Alya: Oh, wait! Even better: finding out who's really under that mask.
Ash: Uh, I think an interview would be better! After all, a superhero must never reveal their identity!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ash: But you could always do a vlog channel of me talking about Pokémon! And you can call it "The All About Pokémon Channel"!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Alya: "All About Pokémon Channel"? I like it! We can even do it together!
Ash: Yeah!
Marinette: Uh-huh. Good luck with that one.
Meanwhile, in the Agreste car, Gabriel is scolding Adrien via video.
Gabriel: You disobeyed me, Adrien. Take a look at that school.
Adrien: Yes, Father. [feeling down]
Gabriel: You will never, I say, never go back there again…
Adrien: Father, no…
Gabriel: Without your bodyguard. He will drop you off and pick you up every day. Nathalie has offered to organize you a new schedule. You'll be continuing your music, Chinese, and fencing classes and your photoshoots.
Adrien: [overjoyed] Thank you, Nathalie. Thank you, Father! [leaves the car]
Ash: Huh? Hey! It's that Adrien again! [to Marinette and Alya] You girls go on ahead! I'll catch up with you in a minute!
Alya: Okay!
While the girls went on ahead, Ash went over to Adrien!
Ash: Hi! Adrien, right?
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Adrien: Yeah.
Ash: I don't think we properly introduced ourselves! My name's Ash! And this is my buddy, Pikachu!
Pikachu: [greeting] PIKACHU!
Adrien: Nice to meet you, Ash! And Pikachu! [pets Pikachu on the head] Cute little guy!
Pikachu: [coos] CHA!
Ash: I know you don't have many friends, and I know you just became friends with Nino, but if you want, I can be your friend too!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Adrien: Really? You'd do that?
Ash: Of course! [holds out his hand] Friends?
Adrien smiled and shook his hand!
Adrien: Friends!
Ash: Awesome! See you in class?
Adrien: Sure!
After Ash walked off, Adrien thought about Ash!
Adrien: So, Ash is his name! Working with him will be more interesting than ever!
Meanwhile, Ash and the girls had arrived at class!
Marinette: No, wait. [Marinette and Alya are going to sit on the seats behind Nino]
Ash: [chuckles] This is gonna be good! [takes his seat next to Ivan]
Chloé and Sabrina entered the room, and they saw Marinette and Alya sitting behind Nino!
Chloé: Uhh... You're in the wrong seat. Go on, get lost!
Ash: Sorry, Chloé! But I'm afraid they can't do that!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Chloé: And who says so?!
Marinette: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good people do nothing!"
Chloé: What is that supposed to mean?
Marinette: It means that I'm not putting up with your crud anymore, Chloé, and neither is anyone else around here, so take your attitude and go on, get lost!
The students laughed at this!
Ash: [laughs] Burn!
Pikachu: [laughing] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [impressed] MRAH!
Chloé took her seat angrily, just as Adrien came in! He waved at Marinette, but she just looked away from him!
Nino: Dude, you wanna make friends, right? Well, go talk to Marinette. You know, about the chewing gum.
Adrien: But what should I say to her?
Nino: Just be yourself.
Ash: Marinette, why do you have to be hard on him like that?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Marinette: He's friends with Chloé! What am I supposed to do?
Ash: I talked with him outside, and we became buddies! Don't you think you should give him a chance?
Marinette thought about this, but she didn't think long because the teacher came in!
Miss Bustier: Good morning, class!
Everyone: Good morning, Miss Bustier!
Miss Bustier: Now, I know we already had today's lesson planned, but we're going to do something different!
Everyone was puzzled by this!
Miss Bustier: Today, we're going to be learning about Pokémon!
That got most of the students excited and intrigued, except for Chloé! But Ash was surprised by this! Then, Miss Bustier looked over at Ash!
Miss Bustier: Ash! Care to help do the honors?
Ash: Oh! [smiles] Sure! I'd love to!
Then, he went over next to Miss Bustier! He was a little nervous! He never taught a lesson in class before! Miss Bustier then placed a hand on his shoulder.
Miss Bustier: Whenever you're ready!
Ash smiled at this and took a deep breath.
Ash: Well, [pulls out his Rotom Phone] maybe it's best if I start with this video! [plays it on the board]
[music playing]
Narrator: The World of Pokémon! Brimming with beauty, variety and majesty! As the most mysterious and magnificent creatures on this planet, there are about 900 different species of Pokémon and they can be found wherever one looks! [as the screen shows some Pokémon using different attacks] Pokémon have many different skills and abilities and through a phenomenon called evolution, they're able to grow and change! [as the screen shows lots of people and Pokémon] Most people and Pokémon live happy and peaceful lives together as friends and companions! [as the screen shows Korrina and Alain having a battle] And there are the Pokémon Trainers who join forces with Pokémon as battle partners, displaying their skills in competitive arenas everywhere! And because of the strong bond between Trainer and Pokémon, three new, powerful phenomenons have arisen! First one, during battle, a Trainer's Keystone can have a particular synchronistic reaction to the Pokémon's Mega Stone! This results in a temporary, but profound increase in the power of a Pokémon! This transformation is known as Mega Evolution! [as the screen shows another battle] Then there's Z-Moves! A special kind of move that's used between Trainer and Pokémon using a special bracelet called a Z-Ring! There are many different types of Z-Moves using different Z-Crystals depending on the type of moves a Pokémon knows! There are even special Z-Moves made for specific Pokémon with specific Z-Crystals! [as the screen shows another battle] And then there's another kind of phenomenon! During battle, after a Pokémon was brought back to the PokéBall, a Trainer's Dynamax Band can make the PokéBall grow and then the Pokémon grows to gigantic size and either stay the same or have a new look! This results in a temporary but powerful form in a Pokémon! This transformation is known as Dynamax and Gigantamax!
[Then, Gigantamax Charizard and Dynamax Gyarados unleashed very powerful Dynamax moves]
Narrator: The mystery of Pokémon! Perhaps it is that mystery that exists at the very part of the world itself!
[video ends and everyone claps]
Kim: SO COOL!
Ash: Yep! Pokémon are really amazing! Each Pokémon are classed in a different species and different types! Like with Pikachu! Pikachu's the Mouse Pokémon and is an Electric type! There are 18 different types of Pokémon! Bug, Dark, Dragon, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ground, Ice, Normal, Poison, Psychic, Rock, Steel and Water! Though some Pok mon are classed as dual type Pokémon!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Rose: Ooh! Fairy-types sound so cute!
Max: Electric and Psychic-types sound rather interesting!
Juleka: [quietly] I kinda like the Dark, Ghost, and Dragon-types.
Kim: Fire-types and Water-types sound awesome!
Alix: Fighting-types sound tough!
Alya: Psychic-types sound powerful!
Marinette: Ice-types seem pretty cool! Literally!
Nino: Rock-types sound rock solid!
Adrien: You had me at Steel-types!
Chloé: Bug-types sound disgusting!
Ash: Not true! I happen to own a few back home!
Chloé: Whatever!
Alix: But what about these dual types?
Ash: Well, take Lucario for example! Lucario is the Fighting and Steel dual-type!
Lucario: [nods] MRAH MRAH!
Alix: Cool!
Mylène: I'm not sure I like the sound of all those poor Pokémon battling!
Ash: Don't worry, Mylène! Pokémon battles are for bringing out the best in both Trainers and Pokémon!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Ash: Besides, back in my home, we have Pokémon Centers that heal Pokémon back to full capacity!
Mylène: Oh, good!
Ash: Yep!
Nino: What's this "evolution" they're talking about?
Ash: It's where a Pokémon changes their form and becomes a different Pokémon! Pokémon can evolve in many different ways! Through experience, through trade and by using evolution stones! Though sometimes Pokémon can evolve on their own for different reasons!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Everyone got intrigued from that!
Ash: And for beginning trainers, they can get a starter Pokémon to help them along on their journey! But for me, I had overslept and Pikachu was the only one left! But we didn't see eye to eye back then the way we do now! And don't get me started on how many times it zapped me with its electrical attacks!
Alix: What?! No way! You two are best buddies!
Ash: We're best buddies now! But we weren't always!
Marinette: But how come you and Pikachu are best friends if Pikachu didn't like you?
Ash: I guess it all started when that flock of Spearow attacked. [flashback starts] There were so many of them, I thought I was finished. But then, Pikachu rushed to my rescue. I'll never forget that moment. And after that, we've been working together ever since [flashback ends].
Some of the students had teared up from that!
Rose: [tearing up] That was beautiful!
Alya: [wipes a tear] You two were made for each other!
Marinette: [tearing up] Totally!
Alix: [smiles warmly] [notices Kim tearing up] Kim? Are you crying?
Kim: [holding back the tears] Uh, no! Something got in my eye!
Juleka: [sniffs] [smiles and wipes a tear] Those two were made for each other.
Sabrina: [tearing up]
Chloé: [glares at Sabrina]
That made her stop!
Chloé: Hmph! Pity party much?
Marinette: Chloé, it was absolutely touching! It just goes to show you that those two are inseparable!
Ash: [giggles]
Pikachu: PIKA PI!
Ash: And that concludes my talk on Pokémon!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
The students applauded from that!
Ash: [bows] Thank you! Thank you! You're all too kind!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Then, Ash took his seat next to Ivan!
Ash: Not bad for my first teaching a class!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Ash: I think I'm gonna like it here in Paris!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKACHU!
Juleka seemed to be drawing something! She was drawing a picture of Ash!
Juleka: [draws a heart around him] [blushes] [smiles]
Rose: What's that, Juleka?
Juleka: [blushes] I-It's, um, nothing.
Rose: Come on! You can tell me!
Juleka nodded and showed her the picture of Ash!
Rose: That's a nice picture of Ash! But why is there a heart around...? Wait a minute! [whispers] You have a crush on Ash?
Juleka: [blushes madly] [nods] Mmhmm.
Rose: Oh! That's so sweet!
Juleka looked over at Ash who was having a conversation with Ivan! Juleka just blushed and smiled!
Juleka: [sighs dreamingly]
Rose: Do you plan to tell him?
Juleka: [blushes] Well, I don't know.
Rose: Don't worry! Just take your time! I'm sure you'll tell him sooner or later!
Juleka smiled and nodded!
Ash: [chuckles]
Pikachu: PIKA!
Later that day, it was home time and Adrien was leaving the school! And so were Ash and Marinette!
Marinette: So, this World Coronation Series is a tournament for the strongest trainers?
Ash: Yeah! And I'm currently in the Ultra Class! [pulls out his Rotom Phone and shows her his ranking] My ranking so far is 99!
Marinette: Whoa! That's high! And to think there's nearly 10,000 trainers competing!
Ash: Yeah! And the one that makes it to the Master Class gets to battle Leon, the Galar Region Champion!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Marinette: That's kinda cool!
Ash: It sure is! [puts his hands on his hips] [smiles confidently] And if I beat him, that puts me one step closer to being a Pokémon Master!
Pikachu: [smiles confidently] PIKA PIKACHU!
Marinette: Pokémon Master? Now that's quite a goal!
When they went outside, it was raining!
Ash: Uh oh! It's raining!
Pikachu: [tucks into Ash's shirt to stay warm] PIKACHU!
Marinette: Aww! That's so cute! [to Pikachu] You feel cozy in there, don't you?
Pikachu: [smiles and nods] PIKA PIKA!
Marinette: I see!
Ash: I wish I could say the same for us!
Then, Adrien came over to them!
Adrien: Hey.
Ash: Hey, Adrien!
However, Marinette ignored him!
Ash: Come on, Marinette! Give him a chance!
Marinette knew he was right and turned to the Agreste boy, as he opened up an umbrella!
Adrien: I just wanted you to know that I was only trying to take the chewing gum off your seat. I swear.
Ash: I know that! You were trying to be nice!
Adrien: [smiles] [to Marinette] I've never been to school before. I've never had friends. It's all sort of new to me.
Now, Marinette felt bad for being hard on him! Then, Adrien offered his umbrella to her and Ash!
Ash: Wow! That's really nice of you, Adrien!
Adrien: No problem! Anyway, my ride's here!
Marinette took the umbrella as she and Adrien share brief eye contact through the exchange, before the umbrella closes over Marinette's head, causing Adrien to laugh, resulting in Marinette smiling and laughing as well!
Ash: [laughs] That's pretty funny!
Pikachu: [laughs] PIKA!
Adrien: See you tomorrow.
Ash: See you tomorrow, Adrien!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Adrien: [shakes Ash's hand] You too, Ash! And I hope you'll do well in the World Coronation Series!
Ash: You know it!
Marinette: [drops her bag] Uh-huh! see you to mo tomo Haha! Whoa, why am I stammering?
Tikki: Hey! I think I might have an idea! [flies onto Marinette's cheek]
Ash: Seems like you now have a crush!
Pikachu: [giggles] PIKA PIKA!
Marinette: Oh, Ash! [playfully punches Ash's arm] Stop!
Ash: [giggles]
With Adrien...
Plagg: First day of school and we already have two love birds!
Adrien: Whatever. She's just a friend. Oh a friend [smiles and blushes]
Then, he got into the car and it drove away! Little did they know, Master Wang Fu was watching them at the school entrance while holding an umbrella!
Wayzz: Excellent choice, Master.
Wang Fu: [rubs his chin hair] Those two are made for each other.
Then, he saw Ash and Pikachu!
Wang Fu: But that young man with the mouse. He wasn't really part of the plan, but it's better than nothing.
Wayzz: He may know about Ladybug's identity!
Wang Fu: True, but I can feel his aura! He looks like the guy who can keep a secret!
Ash: [smiles playfully at Marinette] See? I told you!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Marinette: Yeah! Now, about your lessons in love! Come on! Let's go the movie theater!
Ash: Awesome! [runs] Last one there pays!
Marinette: Hey! You big stinker! [runs after him] Come back here!
The screen now shows Marinette and Adrien as Ladybug and Cat Noir, with Ash and Pikachu and the elemental plates and powers ups!
Narrator: And so, having saved the day, our hero is living another life! Fighting alongside the superheroes of Paris, Ladybug and Cat Noir! I wonder what other adventures Ash will have in Paris! As the journey continues!
And that's the end of part two! I hope you all enjoyed it! And there's more to come! So until then, see you all next time!
