*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR MIRACULOUS!*

Narrator: Ash's goal is to battle one of the world's greatest Trainers, Leon! Goh's goal is to catch one of every kind of Pokémon, including Mew! This is the story of their adventure-filled journey through the world of Pokémon!

A scene then shows Ash, Goh, and all their Pokémon taking a group photo. Then, the scene now shows another sunny day in Paris!

Narrator: Today is picture day, where all the students at school from different classes gather to take photos from their respective classes to cherish as memories for in the future! And it looks like our hero is making himself look picture perfect!

Pikachu: [watching Ash] PIKACHU?

Ash: Almost done, Pikachu! After a nice warm shower, I feel clean as a whistle! And I smell like vanilla! And as long as I don't have zits or food on my face, I'll look picture perfect for today's class photo! [finishes] There! [turns to face Pikachu] Well, buddy? How do I look?

Pikachu: [smiles; gives him a thumbs up] PIKACHU!

Ash: Great!

Rotom Phone: [alarm ringing; white rabbit (from Alice and Wonderland voice)] You're late! You're late! For a very important date! No time to say hello say goodbye! You're late you're late you're late!

Ash: [gasps] We'd better get going!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Ash and Pikachu ran downstairs, rushed out the bakery, and headed straight towards Collège Françoise Dupont!

[Intro: Take Me On A Journey]

Take me on a journey

Please choose me

We could be the best team of all time

We'll do everything together

Learning, training, never stopping

(GO, GO, GO!)

Anywhere you're going, so am I

Take me on a journey to your heart

The journey to your heart

Po-ké-mon!

[End song]

Scene changes to Pikachu in an open field twirling Ash's hat on its tail and then putting on and smiling as Ash reads the title of the chapter!

Ash (voiceover): Chapter 21: Reflekta!

At Collège Françoise Dupont. The class photos were starting! Ms. Mendeleiev's class was first!

Vincent: Alright, everybody look at the camera. Hahaha, they're perfect! Say spaghetti!

Ms. Mendeleiev's class: Spaghetti!

Adrien laughs while he and Nino look at each other!

Marinette: I'm gonna be in a photo with Adrien! I'm gonna be in a photo with Adrien!

Alya: Right, 'cause uh– it's a class photo and you're in the same class as Adrien.

Marinette: [nods eagerly] Amazing, isn't it? OH MY GOSH! What if we're standing in the same row together?

Alya: Hehe, oh girl just smile and whatever happens, don't forget to breathe!

Juleka: At least you're going to be in the photo.

Rose: No, Juleka, I'm telling you, you're not jinxed! This time it's gonna work out, I can feel it, right here!

Marinette: What's this about being jinxed?

Juleka: [sighs] Ever since I was little, every time someone takes a photo of me, something always goes very wrong.

(FLASHBACK: Photo with a younger Max covering over Juleka's face. Another photo with a pigeon blocking Juleka's face. Another photo with Juleka nearly not in the photo.)

Rose: You're wrong Juleka, you'll see!

Marinette: For sure! We'll do everything we can to make sure it goes right this time. Don't forget to smile!

Juleka: [smiles; realizes something was missing] Hey. Where's Ash?

Ash: [comes in on cue] Hey, guys! Sorry I'm late! I was trying to make myself look presentable for the class photo!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKACHU!

Marinette: It clearly shows! [as Ash came over to them] You look great! And... [sniffs him] Do I smell vanilla?

Ash: You sure do! That's my new three-in-one shampoo, conditioner and body wash!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Alya: Three-in-one shampoo, conditioner and body wash?

Ash: Yep!

Juleka: It smells nice, babe.

Ash: [smiles] Thanks, Juleka! [sees her looking sad] Hey, what's wrong?

Pikachu: [concerned] PIKACHU?

Rose: She thinks that she'll have the class photo jinx this year!

Ash: Class photo jinx?

Pikachu: [tilts its head in confusion] PIKACHU?

Rose: As in something will go wrong for her like before!

Ash: Oh! Well, don't worry, Jules! I'm sure nothing is gonna go wrong for you this time!

Juleka: You really think so, babe?

Ash: I KNOW so! You've got nothing to worry about, Jules! Nothing's gonna go wrong! Today's your big day! You'll be in the class photo for sure! You wanna know why? Because I'm gonna be with you the entire time! I'll be standing right next to you!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

That made Juleka smile!

Ash: Also, I don't get why you have something like this in the first place! How can the camera miss you? You're the most beautiful girl I've ever met!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Rose: Oh, the camera doesn't miss her! It's mostly because of the things that make her only partially seen in photos!

Ash: Well, I'm gonna make sure nothing, and I mean NOTHING gets [winks] in your way, Juleka!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Juleka: Thanks, babe. [kisses his cheek] [hugs him; coos]

Ash: [giggles]

Juleka: You're so handsome.

She then began to feel his chest!

Ash: Easy now, Juleka! We're still in school!

Juleka: I know. But your muscles feel so firm and hard. You're very strong~.

Ash: Thanks, Jules!

Juleka only smiled and hugged him while kissing him on the lips!

Juleka: I love you.

Ash: I love you too! [to Alya] I take it Marinette was super stoked on being in a class photo with Adrien?

Alya: [while pointing to Marinette who was going gaga] Is that a trick question?

Ash: [chuckles] Clearly! Marinette's got that look again!

Pikachu: [giggles] PIKACHU!

Ash: Well, regardless! I'm sure this will be a great class photo!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Marinette: [gasps] Wait a minute! What about Popplio? I want my baby girl to be in the class photo too! [takes out Popplio's PokéBall and opens it]

Popplio: [appearing] POPPLIO!

Marinette: [picks up Popplio] Popplio? Would you like to be in a class photo with momma?

Popplio: [claps excitedly] POP POP POP POP POP!

Marinette: I figured you would! [cradles her] Oh, yes you would!

Popplio: [happy] POPPLIO!

Marinette: [giggles]

Adrien: Is this exciting, Litten? [rubs its head] Your first class photo!

Litten: [nods affirmatively] LITTEN!

Alix: You're gonna be in it too, Scorbunny! Ain't that cool?

Scorbunny: [nods excitedly] SCORBUN!

Ash: Oh yeah! [pulls out five PokéBalls] Everyone else should be in this too! [tosses them]

Dragonite: [appearing] BRWAR!

Gengar: [appearing] GENGAR!

Lucario: [appearing] MRAH!

Dracovish: [appearing] DRACOVISH! DRACO!

Sirfetch'd: [appearing] FETCH'D!

Ash: [to Miss Bustier] Miss Bustier? Would it be alright if my Pokémon were in the class photo too?

Miss Bustier: Of course, Ash! That's a wonderful idea!

Ash: Awesome! [to his Pokémon] Everyone, you're all gonna be in the class photo!

The Pokémon roared in delight! Juleka began to look around, seeing Ash, Marinette, Adrien, and Alix give attention to their Pokémon partners, which didn't go unnoticed by Ash and some of his Pokémon!

Ash: Hm? Juleka?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Lucario: MRAH?

Ash: What's wrong?

Pikachu: [concerned] PIKACHU?

Juleka: Oh. It's nothing.

Then, Ash noticed Juleka was looking at how Marinette, Adrien and Alix were giving attention to their Pokémon partners, which made him realize!

Ash: Oh, I see! You're feeling a little jealous because the others have Pokémon partners!

Juleka: Yes.

Ash: Well, to be honest, I wanted to get you one! It was gonna be a Salamence that I released from Team Rocket captivity, but it ended up escaping my PokéBall and flying away! I was disappointed, but at least it's living free and in the wild! [groans] It would've been a perfect gift for you!

Juleka felt touched that Ash would go through all of that trouble just for her!

Then, she hugged him and kissed his cheek!

Juleka: Thank you, babe. It was nice of you to think of me the way you did.

Ash: [smiles] No problem, Jules! I'd do anything for you!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Vincent: Thank you kids, you've been wonderful. [straightens everything for Marinette's class] Ok, time to flash your pearly whites, guys!

Ash: I guess that means it's our turn!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Vincent: You kids take a seat in the front bench. [gestures for Max, Alix, Rose, Marinette, Mylène, and Dracovish] Quickly please, I've got sixteen other classes to shoot.

Max and the girls sat down, but when Dracovish went to sit, it ended up letting one part of the bench go upward making Max and the girls slide into Dracovish!

Max, Alix, Rose, Marinette, and Mylène: Oh!/Ah!/Whoa!/Oof!

Popplio: [slides in] POP!

Scorbunny: [slides in] SCORBUN!

Dracovish: DRACO?

Vincent: No no no! This won't work! [points at Dracovish] You there! Sit on the ground!

Dracovish: [tries to find a place to sit on the ground] DRACO? VISH?

Then, Dracovish sat down in front of Marinette and Rose!

Vincent: Oh, now I can't see two of them! [to Dracovish] You'll have to stand in this photo!

Dracovish: [gets up and stands next to Mylène] DRA!

Vincent: [makes a perfect sign] Perfect!

Ash: Looking good, Dracovish!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Dracovish: [happy] DRACO!

Adrien: The new album is really good.

Litten: [agreeing] LITTEN!

Chloé: Look Sabrina, they're up front in the baby seats! Go on rugrats, don't forget to take your thumbs out of your mouths!

Marinette: [grunts angrily]

Popplio: [pouts] POP POP.

Lucario: [growls angrily]

Ash: You're one to talk, Chloé! You whine, complain, and throw a temper tantrum every time you can't have your way and cry to your dad! Pretty babyish if you ask me!

Pikachu: [agreeing; laughs] PIKACHU!

Gengar: [laughing] GEN GEN GEN GEN GEN GENGAR!

Chloé: [angry; scoffs] I do NOT! And you can't prove it!

Ash: [smirks] Oh yes you do!

Juleka: [covering her mouth; snickers]

Chloé: [growls]

Vincent: Well, next row! Hmmm... [points to Nathaniel, Alya, Sabrina, and Chloé] You, you, you and you go stand on the rear bench, please.

Chloé: Wait just one minute! I'm supposed to be in the middle row, right next to Adrien. Preferably the center. Look, we're the same size! [waves her hand over Adrien and her head]

Ash: Hmm, I'm pretty sure Adrien's taller!

Chloé: Who asked you?!

Vincent: Nah, go stand in the back row, behind the rest.

Chloé: How dare you, put me behind the rest? Do you know who my father is?!

Vincent: Is he a photographer?

Chloé: [gasps] NO! He's-

Vincent: Bummer, I could really use an assistant. Now hurry up and take your place, or I'll put you up front with the babies!

Ash: Oh, please do!

Pikachu: [laughing while laying on floor on its back and kicking its feet] PI-I-I-KAHAHA!

Chloé: Grrrrrrr... [walks off]

Vincent: The rest of you boys, go stand in the middle row.

Ash: What about Dragonite, Gengar, Lucario and Sirfetch'd?

Vincent: Ah, yes! [points to Lucario] You, middle row! [points at Dragonite] In the back! [points at Gengar] Back right corner! [points at Sirfetch'd] Next to the principal!

The four Pokémon did just that while the boys went to the middle row!

Adrien: It's no big deal Chloé! As long as we're all in the same photo, right?

Ash: [nods in agreement] Mhm!

Vincent: Perfect! You guys are awesome! Now stop squirming and let's get this photo shot!

Ash: Hold on! What about Juleka?

Ash and Marinette looked over at to seeing Juleka standing sadly alone while she looked at her reflection in her wrist mirror Ash had gotten for her!

Marinette: Uh, excuse me sir, you forgot Juleka.

Ash: My girlfriend's in our class too!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Vincent: Huh?

The photographer looked over at Juleka standing alone!

Vincent: [facepalms] Ah sorry, my bad! [goes over to her] Go stand in the middle row, next to that spiky haired boy.

Ash: [in his head] That spiky haired boy has a name. [speaks] Here, Jules! I saved a spot just for you!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Lucario: MRAH RAH!

Then, Juleka went over and stood in-between Ash and Adrien!

Ash: You can hold my hand if you want.

And Juleka did just that!

Marinette: And you're gonna be right in the center! All eyes will be on you! No more jinxed class photos!

Ash: Yeah! Count on it!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

But Vincent was having trouble fitting the students and the Pokémon into the photograph!

Vincent: No, this isn't right! Something's not working here!

Chloé: Uhh, course it's not working! I'm in the wrong spot!

Ash: Quit complaining, Chloé! You get what you get and you don't get upset!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU PIKA!

Chloé: Nobody asked you, Ketchum!

Vincent: [to Ivan] You, move over there will you?

He did so, but it didn't work!

Vincent: Let's see...

Even by moving a few of the students and Ash's Pokémon around, nothing seemed to work!

Mr. Damocles: Excuse me, but do we have a problem?

Vincent: [sighs] It doesn't matter where I put him, it throws the whole picture out of whack!

Chloé: My spot is unacceptable!

Chloé jumped down a row and tried to push Juleka out of her spot but Juleka pushed back!

Ash: HEY!

Marinette: That's right Juleka, don't let her push you out of the way!

Ash: [snarls] Chloé, if you push her ONE MORE TIME, you're gonna regret it, I swear!

Pikachu: [cheeks sparking wildly; threatening] PIKACHU!

Popplio: [threatening] POP!

Litten: [threatening; hisses]

Scorbunny: [threatening] SCORBUN!

Lucario: [threatening; growls]

Caline: [as Chloé attempted to climb over Juleka] Ms. Bourgeois, behave yourself!

Chloé: [to Marinette and Ash] Hey! Nobody asked you loudmouths!

Adrien: This isn't gym class, you know Chlo!

Litten: [chuckles] LITTEN!

Ash: [glares at Chloé; through his teeth] Get off. My girlfriend. NOW!

Chloé did so, but she hated it!

Ash: [smiles at Juleka; winks] I've got you.

And Juleka smiled back!

Vincent: You, over here, you here, and you here.

Everyone changed spots, but Ash and Juleka still remained together!

Vincent: There, perfect!

Ash: I'd say so!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Chloé: Uh, no! It isn't! It's not perfect at all! I'm totally not next to Adrien!

Ash, Adrien and Marinette just sighed from this!

Pikachu: [exasperated] PIKA.

Lucario: [facepalms] MRAH.

Popplio: [exasperated] POP.

Litten: [hisses]

Mr. Damocles: Please Chloé, we still have sixteen classes to photograph! Go ahead, Vincent.

Vincent: Say spaghetti!

Everyone: Spaghetti!

Pikachu, Popplio, Litten, Scorbunny, Dragonite, Gengar, Lucario, Sirfetch'd and Dracovish: [smiles] PIKA!/POP!/TEN!/SCOR!/BRWAR!/GAR!/MRAH!/FETCH'D!/VISH!

But then, the camera showed a low battery!

Vincent: Oh, I don't believe this!

Ash: What's the matter?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Lucario: MRAH?

Vincent: I'm sorry, I have to go and fetch another battery. Nobody move!

Juleka: [gasps]

Juleka looked sadly away!

Juleka: [goes over to Miss Bustier] Can I go to the bathroom?

Caline: Yes Juleka, but hurry!

Ash: But, Jules-

Juleka gave Ash a hug and kissed him on the lips!

Juleka: Don't worry, babe. I'm just gonna freshen up. I'll be back to stand with you. I promise.

Ash: [unsure] Okay. But please hurry! This means a lot to me since this means a lot to you too!

Juleka: [nods and heads for the bathroom]

Mr. Damocles: Ms. Bustier! He said nobody is to move!

Caline: It's an emergency, sir!

Mr. Damocles: [growls angrily]

But Ash was worried about his girlfriend!

Miss Bustier: Don't worry, Ash! I'm sure she'll be okay!

Chloé: [to Sabrina] Make sure she doesn't come back!

Sabrina: [nods; raises her hand] Ms. Bustier, I need to go too!

Miss Bustier allowed it, but Ash was suspicious!

Ash: [whispers to Pikachu] Pikachu, follow Sabrina. See what that goon gal is up to.

Pikachu: [nods affirmatively] PIKACHU.

Juleka goes inside the bathroom, followed by Sabrina, with Pikachu behind her, who blocks the handle with a wooden chair and giggles. Juleka gasps at the giggling and tries to open the door but the chair is in the way.

Pikachu: [gasps] PIKA!

After Sabrina left, Pikachu tried to push the chair away from the door to set Juleka free, but due to its small size, the chair wouldn't budge!

Pikachu: [frustrated; worried] PIKACHU!

Back with the others...

Vincent: [putting in a new battery] We're back in business!

Sabrina gave Chloé a thumbs up and Chloé grinned while jumping next to Adrien.

Marinette: Hey! What are you doing? Where's Juleka?!

Ash: What did you do her?! And where's Pikachu?!

Adrien: How'd she get here?

Chloé: Urgh, [wraps an arm around Adrien] who cares? At last, I'm in the right spot!

Pikachu: [coming over] PIKACHU!

Ash: There you are, Pikachu! Wait, where's Juleka?!

Chloé: Who cares? Let's just get on with the photo!

Vincent: I want you to flash your best smiles! Because it's the last time we are doing this!

Marinette: [gasps] OH WAIT!

Ash: NO DON'T!

But it was too late! Vincent had already taken the photo!

Vincent: Thanks, kids!

Ash: No, no, no, no, NO!

Marinette: Oh wait! Please sir, we have to redo the photo!

Principal Damocles: Why's that?

Ash: My girlfriend, Juleka, wasn't in it! That's why!

Principal Damocles: Jule-who?

Ash: Juleka! She's tall, has amazing purple streaks, flowing black hair, brilliant copper eyes, and she's so beautiful!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Everyone: Yeah! Where'd she go? Didn't she go to the bathroom?

Popplio: [calling out "Auntie Juleka? Where are you?"] POP POP? POPPLIO?

Litten: [calling out for Juleka] LITTEN!

Scorbunny: [calling out for Juleka] SCORBUN?

Chloé: Uh, Mr. Damocles, aren't we meant to be heading off to lunch? And aren't you paying the photographer by the hour?

Mr. Damocles: Why yes! No time to retake, class move along, now!

Ash: But-

Vincent: Ok, lunch break!

Ash: But... But... Wait! Guys, split up and search the school! We have to find Juleka!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKACHU!

And everyone did just that!

However, Pikachu went over to Rose!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Rose: What is it, Pikachu?

Pikachu: [telling her that Juleka is locked in the bathroom] PIKA PIKA PI!

Rose: Juleka's locked in the bathroom?!

Pikachu: [runs to the girls' bathroom] PIKACHU!

Rose: [follows Pikachu] Wait for me!

Pikachu and Rose arrived in the locker room!

Rose: Juleka? Juleka! [opens the bathroom door] Jule-kuh!?

They heard Juleka crying and got rid of the chair and opened the door immediately!

Rose: Poor sweet Juleka!

Pikachu: [worried] PIKACHU!

Juleka: [standing up and sniffling] I missed the photo. Didn't I?

Pikachu: [sad; affirmative] PIKACHU.

Rose: Yeah, another one of Chloé's mean tricks! Ash is not gonna like this when he finds out!

Juleka: Why should I expect it to be any different? Nobody ever hears me. Or sees me. I'm invisible. Even in photos.

Pikachu: PIKA?! [shaking its head in denial; saying that's not true] PIKA PI! PIKA PIKACHU!

Rose: Don't say that, Juleka! It's not true! And Ash really wanted to help you in anyway he can! He's always there for you!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Juleka: Forget it. As long as Chloé's in the picture, she'll find a way to keep me out of it.

Rose: No, wait Juleka!

Juleka: Really Rose, forget it. Forget me.

Pikachu: [stops her; worried] PIKA PIKA PIKACHU! PIKA PIKA PI!

Juleka: Look, Pikachu. I just wanna be left alone. [runs off, crying]

Pikachu: [sad; ears droop] PIKACHU…

Rose picked up Pikachu and gave it a hug!

Rose: It's okay, Pikachu. She just needs to be alone right now. [kisses its forehead]

Pikachu: [sad] PIKA.

Juleka had ran out of the school and towards the park! At Hawk Moth's lair, he sensed Ash's soulmate's complete despair as his lair's window opened up!

Hawk Moth: Poor girl, feeling so lonely and ignored. How terrible it must feel that you don't even exist. Come here, my little friend.

A butterfly landed in his hand, and once he put his other hand on top of it, he turned the insect into an Akuma!

Hawk Moth: Fly my vile Akuma and give this transparent soul a voice and a vision!

And the Akuma flew off into the city! But Team Rocket on the other hand wasn't so sure about this!

Jessie: Uh... Are you sure that's such a good idea, boss?

Hawk Moth: Why wouldn't it be?

James: Because that's the twerp's girlfriend!

Meowth: When he finds out that you made that gothic twoipette your newest victim, he'll have your head on a platter!

But Hawk Moth saw this as an opportunity to get his hands on Ash for certain this time!

Hawk Moth: Oh, ye of little faith! Don't you see? If the boy notices that his loved one was my newest victim, he will have no choice but to yield and the boy will be mine!

Jessie: Such an ingenious plan!

James: You're going to beat him at his own big heart!

Meowth: Now dat's using your noodle!

Wobbuffet: [popping out of nowhere; saluting] WOBBUFFET!

Hawk Moth: [chuckles darkly] Oh, you've taken the words right out of my mouth.

Back at Collège Françoise Dupont, Ash, Marinette and Alya were sitting on the bench, just as Rose and Pikachu joined them!

Rose: Oh, Juleka's been locked in the bathroom, she really does have the class photo jinx!

Marinette: Of course I should've known Chloé was behind this!

Ash: [angry] That Chloé! [goes Chibi and flails his legs as they made ovals] I'm gonna get her for this! And when I do, she's gonna pay! Big time! THIS IS THE FINAL STRAW!

Marinette: Easy, Ash! Easy! Calm! Calm!

Popplio: [scared] POPPLIO!

Rose: Oh, I knew he wasn't gonna like this at all!

Ash: [panting heavily and angrily]

Marinette: Come on, Ash! Breathe slowly!

Ash: [exhales; takes deep breaths]

Marinette: Feeling better?

Ash: [sighs] A little.

Marinette: Good! Now, we need to figure out a way to break Juleka's class photo jinx!

Ash: Easier said than done! As long as Chloé wanted to be next to Adrien, she'll probably want that photo to stay that way!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Rose: We can ask the photographer.

Marinette: There's no point, he wouldn't want to!

Ash: [sighs] You're right! What do we do?

Marinette: Unless, the photo disappeared, and the principal would have no choice but ask the photographer to shoot another one, with Juleka!

Ash: [happily gasps] Of course!

Rose: You're a genius, Marinette! But why would the photo just disappear?

Ash: Oh yeah. Good point.

Marinette: You find Juleka, Ash and I will take care of the rest!

Ash: Huh?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Marinette: Come on! [drags Ash by the wrist]

Little did they know that Chloé and Sabrina heard everything!

Chloé: They're not going to ruin my perfect photo with Adrien! Think of something fast!

Sabrina: But Chloé! Didn't you hear what Ash said? When he gets his hands on you, he's gonna make you pay! Big time!

Chloé: Oh please! Do you actually think I'm scared of him?! He never had the guts to do it to begin with! You'd better think of something fast! Understand?!

Sabrina: [smiles nervously; nods]

At the park, Juleka was sitting on a bench while hugging her legs! Then, the Akuma flew into her wrist mirror and a light mask appeared upon her face!

Hawk Moth: Reflekta, I am Hawk Moth. From now on you will be the only one people see! No one will ever ignore you again! However, you must do me a favor in return, when the time comes.

Juleka: Yes, Hawk Moth.

Then, Juleka began to transform! Soon, the transformation was complete, and she was now Reflekta! Her face was white, and she had light brilliant rose circle markings around her eyes, along with strong gamboge-colored eyes and moderate purple lipstick. On the tips of her eyelashes, there were small light green spheres. Her hair was shiny and brilliant rose colored-with light purple stripes, and two twisted ponytails stick upward on each side of her head. She had side bangs, and at the center of the front of her hair, there was a gambogeish white upward almond-shaped eye with a light purple outline and a pink pupil. She wore a brilliant rose colored-ruff-like collared dress with light purple chevron stripes around her stomach to waist, and eyes like the one on her hair around her puffed sleeves and skirt. The tips of the ruff and the skirt had light pink edging, and her arms and legs had pink gloves and stockings. Her long pale, light grayish sea green fingernails stuck out of the end of her gloves, and on the back of her right hand, she had a pink eye design with a black outline, the center being a black jewel that opened up to reveal a small circular mirror, (which is the akumatized object). At the bottom of her feet, she had pink rectangular platform dress shoes with triangular wedges and miniature eyes without pupils appear above the feet that covered her entire feet.

Reflekta: [looks into her wrist mirror; giggles; twirls and poses]

One thing's for sure, Ash is definitely not gonna like this! Back at school, Marinette and Ash were attempting to sneak into the principal's office, all while keeping a look out!

Marinette: So, all the material stays in the Principal's office during lunch break!

Ash: That makes sense!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Tikki: I refuse to be a part of this!

Marinette: There's no time! We have to break Juleka's class photo jinx before the photographer leaves the school!

Popplio: POP POP!

Ash: Yeah! I don't want my girl to be sad forever!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Lucario: MRAH RAH!

Tikki: But couldn't there be a much better solution?

Ash: I don't know, Tikki! I'm willing to do anything for Juleka!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Lucario: MRAH!

That's when they saw the photographer and principal come out of his office!

Marinette: Okay.

Ash: Now's our chance!

The two of them and the Pokémon snuck down the stairs while Marinette attempted to unlock the door!

Tikki: There must be another way, Marinette!

Ash: There's no time!

However, Chloé was filming them sneaking into the principal's office! Once they got in, they started to search through the photos in the camera.

Ash: I'll keep watch! You do what you can!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Marinette: Right!

While Marinette searched through the camera, Ash pressed his ear against the door and he heard footsteps!

Ash: Yipe. Someone's coming.

Pikachu: PIKA...

Ash: Quick, Marinette. We've gotta hide!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Lucario: MRAH RAH!

Popplio: [whimpers] POP POP!

Marinette knew he was right! So, they hid under the principal's desk just as Chloé and Sabrina entered!

Tikki: I knew this wasn't a good idea!

Ash: Shush.

Lucario wasn't too happy that it had to hide! Meanwhile, in the courtyard, on the school grounds Reflekta appeared before the students and teachers!

Reflekta: Hello!

Principal Damocles: What? Who-who are you?

Reflekta: Nobody's ever noticed me! But those days are over! But from now on, everybody will notice me because everybody will look like me! Time to get a new look!

Then, she fired a beam from the gem on her wrist mirror and Principal Damocles and Vincent were transformed into duplicates of Reflekta!

Reflekta: Soon there will be Reflektas everywhere!

She continued to transform people by firing beams from her wrist mirror's gem whilst people were panicking!

Reflekta: No need to panic! Who doesn't love an extreme makeover?

Eventually, she went into the locker rooms and began to transform the students in there into her! But when some of them attempted to escape the school, Reflekta blocked the exit by throwing multiple lockers!

Reflekta: Nobody leaves here! Hahahaha!

Some of the students were lucky enough to hide and maintain their original looks!

Reflekta: [leaps onto the roof] Soon everyone in Paris will look like me, including Chloé Bourgeois! [laughs evilly]

Hawk Moth: Beautiful. It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir show their face! [laughs evilly]

Jessie: And the twerp will soon be in your clutches and Pikachu will be ours!

Team Rocket: [laughs evilly]

Reflekta: [firing from her wrist mirror, turning students into duplicates of her] Chloé Bourgeois? Have you seen Chloé Bourgeois? And where's my darling, Ash Ketchum! Darling~! Come out, come out, wherever you are~!

Adrien came out of the bathroom and saw that most of the students had become Reflekta duplicates!

Litten: [shocked] LITTEN?!

Scorbunny: [trying to find Alix] SCOR? SCOR? SCORBUN?

Alix (Reflekta): Scorbunny! I'm right here!

Scorbunny: BUN?

But no matter where Scorbunny looked, all it saw was Reflekta after Reflekta!

Scorbunny: [cries] SCORBUN!

Alix (Reflekta): [going over to Scorbunny] Scorbunny! [takes it into her arms] It's okay! I'm right here!

Scorbunny: BUNNY?

Alix (Reflekta): [pulls out a carrot] Look! Your favorite!

Scorbunny: [happily gasps] NY-BUN!

Alix (Reflekta): You see? It's me! Alix!

Scorbunny: [hugs its Trainer] SCORBUNNY!

Alix (Reflekta): Don't worry, bud! It's okay, now!

Scorbunny: [cries tears of joy] SCORBUN!

Alix (Reflekta): [hugging her partner; chuckles]

Adrien on the other hand didn't like the looks of things and went back into the restroom!

Litten: [saying this is bad] LITTEN LIT!

Adrien: I agree, Litten! I'll handle things from here! [takes out Litten's PokéBall] Return!

And Litten went back into its PokéBall!

[Transformation Sequence]

Adrien: Plagg, claws out!

Then, Adrien transformed into Cat Noir! Cat Noir began to make his way to the main entrance while keeping a low profile.

Cat Noir: [runs to the school main entrance] It's blocked!

Nino: Yo! Check it! Cat Noir is gonna save us!

Cat Noir: [gulps] Shh!

Reflekta spotted him and attempted to shoot him with her ray, but she missed!

Cat Noir: Okay, change of plan.

Cat Noir managed to dodge more of Reflekta's rays while he grabbed the hoop from the basketball goal and tied Refleka in it.

Reflekta: [grunts]

Using this opportunity, Cat Noir rushed to the entrance in an attempt to unlock the door.

Ivan (Reflekta): Help us, Cat Noir! I don't know how longer I can stand being in this body!

Cat Noir: Cataclysm!

Then, his hand glowed a black bubbly energy, but when he attempted to use his power, he got hit by Reflekta's ray and transformed into a Reflekta copy!

James: [from Hawk Moth's lair] Gazooks!

Reflekta: Much better! I hate cats!

Meowth: [from Hawk Moth's lair] HEY! I resent that!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Cataclysm!

But when he tried, his power didn't work!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Huh? [checking himself out] What? My ring! My Miraculous! It's gone!

Jessie: [from Hawk Moth's lair; annoyed] You dolt! Look what you've done!

Hawk Moth: [from his lair; through the light mask] His Miraculous! You should've taken it before you transformed him!

Reflekta: Don't worry, I'll take care of it! [continues laughing] WHERE IS CHLOÉ BOURGEOIS?!

["Who's That Pokémon?" time]

[as a magnifying glass shows a some blonde hair with Pikachu standing with a PokéBall]

Cat Noir: Who's that Pokémon?

[The Pokémon reveals to be Jynx]

Pikachu: PIKA?

Jynx: JYNX JYNX!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

[End]

In Principal Damocles' office, Marinette and Ash were still hiding behind the desk, and Chloé and Sabrina were searching for them.

Chloé: I know you're in here, Marinette and Ash. Come out, now!

Ash: You go first.

Marinette: No, you go.

Ash: No, you.

Marinette: No, you.

Ash: Here, why don't we do it together?

Marinette: [nods] Mm. Hide, Tikki.

After hiding in her purse, Marinette and Ash revealed themselves!

Ash: Alright, you caught us! Happy?!

Chloé: Aha! Caught red-handed, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Ash Ketchum! [shows them the video] The principal would love my video of you snooping around in his office!

Ash and Marinette: [gasp]

Pikachu: [cheeks sparking] CHU!

Lucario: [growls] MRAH!

Popplio: [worried] POP.

Sabrina: [laughs]

Ash: [growls] Why you...

Marinette saw the camera on the desk and grabbed it!

Marinette: Stop now or the class photo disappears! Which would be a shame considering how good you look in the photo, right next to Adrien!

Ash: Oh yeah! Such a terrible shame!

Chloé: No!

Marinette: Hand it over, Chloé!

Ash: Or else the photo gets it!

Chloé gave the phone to Marinette, who deleted the video.

Ash: Checkmate!

However, Sabrina grabbed hold of the camera and took out the card!

Ash: Hey! You cheat! You thief!

Marinette: [as Sabrina tossed the card to Chloé] Give me that card!

Chloé: Give me back my phone!

Marinette: Give me the card or I'll keep your phone!

Chloé: Ha! You can keep the phone! I'll just buy another one!

Ash: [growls angrily]

Pikachu: [cheeks sparking; angry] PIKA…

Lucario: [snarls; furious] MRAH RAH!

Popplio: [pouting with inflated cheeks] POP… [throwing a temper tantrum] POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP!

Marinette: Popplio, calm down! Momma will solve this!

Popplio: [pointing at Chloé; saying "Give the card back to Mama, you big meanie!"] POP POP POPPLIO POP!

Chloé: I don't think so, tuna breath! Go back to the sea where you belong, you hairless mutt!

Popplio: [gasps] POP! [whimpers; tearing up; crying] POPPLIO!

Marinette: [angry] Oh, now you've got me mad! Nobody calls my baby girl a hairless mutt!

Popplio: [hugs her mother's leg; crying] POP POP!

Marinette: [picks up Popplio and hugs it] Oh, there there, Popplio! Momma's here! Did that bratty snob hurt my baby's feelings?

Popplio: [affirmative; whimpers] POP POP.

Ash: [glares at Chloé] Not cool, Chloé! You made Popplio cry!

Pikachu: [angry] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [angry] MRAH RAH!

Chloé: Who cares?

Ash: [growls] Alright, THAT'S IT! [snatches the card from her]

Chloé: Hey!

Ash: [angry] I'm warning you right now! If you come any closer, I will snap this card like a twig in a hurricane!

Pikachu: [angry; cheeks sparking threateningly] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [angry; threatening] MRAH RAH!

Chloé: You wouldn't?! You don't have the guts!

Ash: [holding both ends in both hands] Wanna bet?!

That made Chloé get nervous!

Ash: [angry] This was supposed to be Juleka's big day, AND YOU RUINED IT!

Pikachu: [angry] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [angry] MRAH RAH!

Chloé: So what? There's always next year! Big deal!

Ash: [snarls] You're lucky we're in school right now! Because I so badly wanna break you in half as if you were a matchstick! We were finally gonna get rid of Juleka's class photo jinx, but oh no! You just had to whine and complain about how you couldn't have your way like the bratty snob you are!

Pikachu: [angrily agreeing] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [angry] MRAH RAH!

Chloé: I do NOT whine and complain!

Ash: You do too!

Chloé: Do not!

Ash: Do too!

Chloé: Do not!

Ash: Do too!

Chloé: Do not!

Ash: Do too!

Chloé: DO NOT!

Ash: DO TOO!

Chloé: I don't know what you even see in a freak like Couffaine anyway! It's her own fault that she's never in the picture!

Ash: Funny! It was more of you sending your little pawn, Sabrina, to do your dirty work and lock my girl in the bathroom so you can stand next to Adrien! Why if Sabrina would think about how much I care about Juleka and how I love her, she wouldn't do it at all! And my Juleka is the best girlfriend I ever had!

Pikachu: [angrily agreeing] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [angrily agreeing] RAH MRAH!

Sabrina knew he was right! Now, she was starting to feel guilty about what Chloé made her do!

Rotom Phone: [alarm sounding] Akuma Alert! Akuma Alert!

Ash: An Akuma Alert! Rotom, identify!

Rotom Phone: Reflekta! She is able to shoot a beam from the jewel on her right hand that turns people into identical physical copies of herself. Real name: Juleka Couffaine!

Ash was horrified when he heard that name! And he knew exactly who to blame for it as he glared at Chloé with demonic red eyes!

Ash: [furious] YOU GOT JULEKA AKUMATIZED!

But before anyone can say anything else, they heard sounds coming from outside!

Reflekta: CHLOÉ! Where are you!?

Chloé: What was that!?

Ash: Juleka!

Pikachu: [worried] PIKA!

Then, Ash and Marinette ran off!

Chloé: Hey! [to Sabrina] Don't just stand there! Go get them!

But Sabrina was too deep in thought about what Ash said!

Chloé: Are you listening to me?!

But Sabrina wasn't! She was thinking about what Ash said as his words danced around her head!

Ash (Voiceover): If Sabrina would think about how much I care about Juleka and how I love her, she wouldn't do it at all! And my Juleka is the best girlfriend I ever had!

Sabrina: [in her head] I have to apologize to him later!

Chloé: Sabrina! Find them! GO!

Marinette and Ash ran out the door and hid!

Chloé: Where did those pea-brains go?

But then, Reflekta landed in front of Chloé!

Reflekta: There you are at last! Chloé Bourgeois!

Chloé: Who are you?

Reflekta: Take a good look at me because I am your future face!

Chloé: Eugh! Gross!

She tried to escape but gets zapped by Reflekta's ray, turning her into a Reflekta copy!

Chloé (Reflekta): [pulls on her new skirt] What in the? Do you realize how much my outfit cost!?

Reflekta: You should be thanking me! You look a thousand times better looking like this! [continues laughing]

Ash turned bright red as a Flareon at his girlfriend's "new look"!

Ash: Whoa! I hate to admit it, but she looks sexy in that outfit!

Pikachu: [surprised] PIKA!

Marinette: Don't worry, Ash! We'll save Juleka!

Popplio: [nods in agreement] POP POP!

But then, Reflekta saw Ash!

Ash: [gasps]

Reflekta: My darling~!

Marinette returned Popplio and snuck away to transform, while Reflekta leapt across the balcony and grabbed Ash, bringing him back to her side, making Pikachu and Lucario follow!

Ash: Whoa! [blushing] J-Juleka!

Reflekta: At last I found you~!

Ash: [blushing] G-Gotcha! So, uh… I see you got a new look!

Reflekta: Of course! You like~?

Ash: [nods; blushing] N-Not gonna lie at all, you look super gorgeous!

Reflekta: I knew you would like it!

Ash: [blushes] S-So Juleka, you were looking for me?

Reflekta: I was! But I'm Reflekta now!

Ash: But Jul- [shakes his head] Reflekta, you're not gonna transform me, are you?

Reflekta: Oh, of course not! I would never do that to you!

Ash: Huh?

Chloé (Reflekta): What?!

Reflekta: I may have become a supervillain, but I'm not a monster! Especially to my [presses her chest against his] best man!

Ash: [blushing; smiles nervously] R-Really? Y-Your best man?

Pikachu: PIKA…

Lucario: MRAH…

Reflekta: Yes! Now, [wraps her arms around him] give me some sugar! [kisses Ash on the lips and begins to make out with him]

Ash was very surprised by this, but he can't resist his beautiful girlfriend and kissed back!

Ash: [kisses back; moans into the kiss]

Chloé couldn't believe her eyes as her left eye twitched! Even Hawk Moth and Team Rocket saw this!

Meowth: Oy vey! Look at dat!

Jessie: Hey! This isn't a love fest!

Hawk Moth: Reflekta! You're supposed to capture him! Not treat him like a lovesick puppy!

But Reflekta wasn't listening as she separated her lips from Ash's and began to turn on the charms!

Reflekta: Ash "Satoshi" Ketchum~! You're the man of my dreams~!

She then caressed his cheek with a gloved hand!

Reflekta: I could just [in monotone] eat...you...up~!

Ash just burned bright red from this!

Marinette heard everything from behind the door and was trying keep her lunch from coming back up!

Marinette: Ugh. I think I'm gonna be sick. Let's hope we can get Juleka back to normal.

Tikki: I'm sure we can! But you do realize that since Reflekta is Juleka, she's still madly in love with him! Plus, isn't this what you usually imagine would happen with you and Adrien?

Marinette: Oh, ha ha! Very funny! Time to transform!

[Transformation Sequence]

Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah!

Then, Marinette transformed into Ladybug!

Reflekta: Now, how about you and I do some more punishing to Chloé Bourgeois~?

Chloé (Reflekta): What?!

Reflekta: [walking around her] You won't get rid of me by locking me in the bathroom this time!

Ash: Whoa! Hold on, babe! I plan to give Chloé a punishment! Just not right now!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH RAH!

Reflekta: If you say so, babe!

Chloé (Reflekta): What are you doing just standing around there, Ketchum?! Get her!

Ash: You know fully well that I can't! Even though Juleka's been akumatized because of you, she's still my girlfriend! And I don't wanna hurt her! I'd never hurt my girl!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [nods seriously] RAH MRAH RAH!

Chloé: [facepalms]

Jessie: [laughs cunningly] It's working, boss! [sing-song voice] He can't fight!

Meowth: Hand me the phone, boss! [Hawk Moth hands Meowth his cane and a light mask appeared on his face] Alright, Reflekta! Listen up! Since the twoip can't fight you, use this opportunity and seize him and Pikachu and bring him to us!

Jessie and James: [laugh triumphantly]

Reflekta: What's the rush? Can't a girl have a little fun with her boy toy?

Meowth: Huh?!

Reflekta: I plan on having some fun with him! Some romantic fun! Wouldn't you feel the same way if you were in my shoes, furball?

Meowth: Listen here, you-

Reflekta: I'll bring him in as soon as our little fun time is over!

Ash: [gasps; sad] Jules...

However, he saw that she had her fingers crossed!

Ash: [smiles]

Meowth: You'd better! Capiche?!

Reflekta: [crossing her fingers] Of course! Now then! [to Ash] Where were we, babe?

Ladybug: [appearing] He was getting to the part where he saves you and turns you back to normal! [jumps in front of Reflekta] Juleka, stop this now!

Reflekta: I'm not the Juleka nobody notices anymore! Now, I'm the [twirls] unmistakable Reflekta!

Ash: Ladybug! Don't hurt her!

Pikachu: [worried] PIKA PI!

Ladybug: I'm not! I'm going to save her!

Hawk Moth: [from his lair; through the light mask] Before you transform Ladybug, take her Miraculous from her! The earrings!

Jessie: Do it!

Reflekta: I'm sure you'll love your new image, Ladybug!

Ladybug: Thanks [swinging her yo-yo around] but no thanks, I prefer the one I've got!

Reflekta: [aims her jewel at Ladybug] Are you sure? Ask Cat Noir. I'm sure he loves his new look!

Ash: Wait! Cat Noir?

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Lucario: [realizing; facepalms and shaking its head] MRAH MRAH RAH...

Ash looked, but he couldn't tell which person was Cat Noir! They all looked the same!

Ash: I don't see him! I understand why you use the 'unmistakable' part in your name, Jule- Er, Reflekta!

Reflekta: Naturally, babe! Now, it's time for Ladybug to get an extreme makeover!

But Ladybug stood tall! Reflekta tried to transform Ladybug while giggling, but Ladybug dodged by running around.

Ash: [grunts] I've gotta do something to help! [about to go and help Ladybug save his soulmate]

Reflekta: Now now, babe! Can't have you exhausted while our fun has just begun!

Ash: Huh?

Reflekta: You'll find out soon enough~!

The harlequin-like super villainess made Ash sit down!

Reflekta: You just sit tight and I'll be right back! [kisses his cheek, leaving a purple lipstick mark]

Ash's face burned bright red as a Flareon from the affection Reflekta was giving him!

Reflekta: [giggles; strokes his chin] Soooo adorable, you are~.

Ash: [blushing; happy flustered; while laying back] Mama Mememe Hoo.

Pikachu: [sweat drops] PIKACHU.

Lucario: [sweat drops] MRAH.

Ladybug: Oh brother.

Reflekta pursued Ladybug while blasting beams from her gem, but Ladybug kept avoiding them with ease. Then, they jumped onto the second floor and Ladybug slid down the banister while dodging the oncoming beams! With Cat Noir...

Cat Noir (Reflekta): My powers might be gone but I can't just stand by and do nothing! [runs but trips over his heels] Who invented these things?

He made his way to another classroom where the other Reflekta-morphed students were hiding!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): [to the other students] If you want your faces back then listen up, have you ever heard of safety in numbers?

With Ladybug and Reflekta, they were leaping around, launching their attacks at one another. Ladybug attempted to hit Reflekta with her yo-yo, but she kept knocking it away by firing beams from her gem, while doing an attractive strut.

Ash: [blushes] Whoa. [blood starts trickle out of his nose, but he stops it]

Pikachu: [shocked] PI!

Reflekta looked over at Ash with a flirtatious smirk!

Reflekta: Enjoy the view, babe~! [blows Ash a kiss]

Ash: [hearts in pupils] Oh, momma. [in his head; worried] Oh man, I need to help Ladybug, but I don't wanna hurt Juleka, who just became even more beautiful than ever before! [whines] Why does life have to be so ironic?!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA.

Lucario: RAH MRAH.

Ash: I know. I said that I was a big fan of dramatic irony back when we fought Rogercop! But this is different!

Reflekta soon had Ladybug cornered!

Reflekta: Soon, like everyone else you will look just like me!

Ladybug tried to hit her but Reflekta grabbed her arm.

Reflekta: But first, I'm gonna take your earrings as a trophy! [trying to grab her Miraculous]

Ash: Oh no!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Lucario: [about to jump in] MRAH...

Ash: No, Lucario!

Lucario: MRAH?

Ash: We can't hurt her and you know it!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA!

Ash: Ladybug's in a tight squeeze! But what can I do?! Wait, I know! [calling out to Reflekta] Reflekta, don't take her Miraculous! [whines] I want you to give me more attention!

Pikachu: PIKA?

Lucario: MRAH?

Reflekta: Be right there, darling~!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Time to face off!

Reflekta: [gasps]

Cat Noir and the other students who got transformed stood together against Reflekta!

Ash: Talk about calling in the Reflekta calvary!

Pikachu: [surprised] PIKA!

Ash: But the only problem is, I can't tell them apart!

Ivan: Yeah, get her!

Nino: Run on!

Ash: Wait!

They ran towards her but Reflekta jumped on them to escape!

[students grunting and exclaiming]

Reflekta: You're no match for me, Ladybug, this will all be over soon for you!

Then, she leapt towards the stairs to Ash!

Reflekta: Come on, darling! [wraps her arm around Ash's waist as Pikachu climbs up onto Ash's shoulder] Let's bail!

Ash: Huh?!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Reflekta: [leaps away] We need our privacy!

Ash: WHOA!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Ladybug: Ash!

Lucario: [growls] MRAH RAH...

Rose (Reflekta): How are you going to help us, Ladybug?

Nino (Reflekta): We want our faces back!

Ladybug: Don't worry, I'll figure it out!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Yeah, these shoes are killer on the feet, my lady!

Ladybug: Cat Noir?

Cat Noir (Reflekta): [takes her hand and walks away with her] Excuse us, move out of the way.

Ladybug: Cat Noir, is it - is it really you?

Cat Noir (Reflekta): 'Course it is! Can't you tell by my swagger! Am I still [poses] the cat's meow or what?

Ladybug: I-uh... I don't know what to say!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): How about a thank you for getting you out of that tight spot!

Ladybug: [laughs] Sorry, Cat Noir, but you - you just... you just don't look like yourself! But uh... thank you!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): You're welcome. And in case you've forgotten, we've got to de-akumatize Reflekta!

Ladybug: We? Your powers are gone, what are you gonna do? Throw your [pushes him back with her finger] shoes at her? [laughs again]

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Remind me who just saved you a minute ago?

Lucario: [rushes over to them] MRAH RAH!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Lucario? If you're here, where's Ash and Pikachu?

Ladybug: Reflekta has him! The only reason why is Reflekta is really Ash's girlfriend, Juleka!

Lucario: [nods] MRAH RAH!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): She is?

Ladybug: Yes! Ash couldn't fight at all! His heart's too big to fight his own girlfriend!

Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH RAH!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Well, how are we supposed to beat her if we can't hurt her for Ash's sake?

Ladybug: I'm sure there's a way we can fight her without causing any harm!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): I figured!

Ladybug: I have to find Reflekta fast! You'd slow me down!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Maybe, but you know, sometimes I do have ideas.

Ladybug: Ok, yeah, sorry, and?

Cat Noir (Reflekta): I don't think taking on Reflekta face to face is the best idea unless you want a facelift too.

Ladybug: You're right and that gives me an idea!

Lucario: MRAH?

Ladybug: Lucario, do you know where Ash's backpack is?

Lucario: [nods; affirmative] MRAH! [rushes off to Miss Bustier's classroom]

The Aura Pokémon came back and held up Ash's backpack.

Lucario: RAH!

Ladybug: Excellent!

Ladybug wrapped her arm around her transformed partner's waist while readying her yo-yo.

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Where are we headed?

Then, Ladybug launched her yo-yo at a signal pole on the roof and wrapped her yo-yo around the poll.

Ladybug: To the TV station! [to Lucario] Think you can keep up?

Lucario: [nods] MRAH!

Ladybug: Here goes, [to Cat Noir] watch your nails!

Then, Ladybug swung onto the roof while holding Cat Noir and Lucario leaped up, holding Ash's backpack!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Your jokes are so lame!

Ladybug: You haven't just lost your body, Cat Noir. I think you've lost your sense of humor too!

Lucario: MRAH.

Ladybug: Lucario, hand me the Sky Plate!

Lucario: [pulls out the Sky Plate] MRAH!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): What are you doing?

Ladybug: [takes the Sky Plate from Lucario] Since your original powers are out of commission, [holds out the Sky Plate to Cat Noir] I think a little substitute is in order!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): You're saying I should use the Sky Plate?

Ladybug: I'm sure Ash won't mind! Plus, it's only temporary! You could use some wings to get to the TV station!

Cat Noir gained an excited look and gladly took the Sky Plate from her!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): [excited] I've always wanted to give one of these a try!

Ladybug: Remember how Ash does it! Just put it on and say the name of the plate, as well as 'activate'.

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Gotcha!

[Transformation Sequence]

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Sky Plate, [places it on his chest] activate!

Then, his new "outfit and hairdo" gained a sky blue color scheme, and a pair of wings sprouted from his back!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Whoa! Awesome!

Ladybug: Not bad, kitty! Not bad at all!

Lucario: MRAH!

Ladybug: [takes the backpack from Lucario] Let's see what kind of [digs around in it] plate I can use!

The plate Ladybug fished out was the Mind Plate!

Ladybug: Ooh. The Mind Plate! That sounds promising! Let's give it a whirl!

[Transformation Sequence]

Ladybug: Mind Plate, [places it on her chest] activate!

Then, her suit gained a magenta color scheme!

Ladybug: Whoa! Sweet! Not a bad choice of color at all!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Looking better than ever, milady!

Ladybug: Thanks! You know how to work those wings?

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Of course! I've seen Ash use these before! How hard can it be?

Then, he got off the ground and began to flap his wings!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): See? Easy peasy!

Ladybug: Point taken! But you might wanna watch where you're going!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Why? [hits his head on a lamppost] GUH!

Ladybug: [cringes] That's why.

Lucario: [facepalms]

Cat Noir (Reflekta): [rubs his head] You didn't see that! Let's get to the TV station!

Ladybug: Right!

Throughout the city, Reflekta was skipping around, turning everyone in her sights into complete copies of her! And Ash just stood there, watching! He didn't like this at all!

Ash: I wanna do something, but I can't! I don't wanna hurt Juleka!

Pikachu: [worried] PIKACHU!

Then, Reflekta finished and went over to Ash, while walking in a sexy way!

Ash: [blushes] R-Reflekta!

Pikachu: PIKA?

Reflekta: Now then, whaddya say we pick up where we left off, sugar lips! [kisses Ash on the lips and begins to make out with him]

Ash: [surprised] MMPH! [kisses back; moans]

Reflekta: [moans]

Hawk Moth: [from his lair; growls; facepalms]

Meowth: Dis is gettin' out of whack! Don't they know there are kids watching in TV Land!

Jessie: [growls] Reflekta, stop being loving lovey dovey and bring him and Pikachu here!

After they separated, Reflekta began to play with Ash's face with her gloved hands!

Reflekta: You're just too cute and irresistible~!

Ash: [blushes; giggles nervously]

Pikachu: [sweat drops] PIKA PIKA.

Then, Reflekta began to run her green fingernails up and down his chest!

Reflekta: I love a guy who's [presses her chest against his] irresistible~!

Ash: [blushes] I-Irresistible?

Reflekta: And so tasty~! [nibbles with her lips hard on Ash's neck]

Ash: [moans]

Pikachu: [shocked] PIKA!

Reflekta: [licks Ash's neck; slurps]

Ash: [moans] Reflekta...

Reflekta: Mmm. Tasty~!

Ash was blushing up a storm!

Pikachu: [trying to erase what he just saw; shaking its head] PRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

Ash: [blushing] Reflekta... you are so hot and beautiful...

Reflekta: Naturally, hot stuff! [hugging him; presses her cheek against his] Ooh, you are so devilishly handsome~. [kisses his cheek, leaving a purple lipstick mark] Mwah.

Ash: [giggles nervously]

Pikachu: [sweat drops] PIKA PI.

Reflekta: [licks her lips seductively] Now, let's go have some more fun!

Ash: Huh? Whaddya mean?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Reflekta: [takes him by the waist] I'll show you once we get there! [leaps away]

Ash: Whoa!

Meanwhile, people were either scared or crying of their new looks given by Reflekta, but that was when Ladybug appeared on TV!

Ladybug: [on TV] People of Paris! Reflekta is not invincible! You can help, all you have to do is put on a disguise! Then I'll be able to spot the real Reflekta and bring her down! But not physically for Ash's sake! Unfortunately, he can't fight because Reflekta is actually someone very close to him and cares a lot about!

Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH!

The citizens completely understood Ash's predicament! Meanwhile, at the Mayor's office, Reflekta had arrived to give him a facelift!

Reflekta: Everyone must look like me, even you, Mr. Mayor!

Ladybug: [on TV] Remember, put on a disguise!

André: You are no match for Ladybug!

Reflekta: Now why would you say that when she's just given away her secret. [zaps him]

André (Reflekta): Ladybug will save us!

Reflekta: Ladybug won't be saving anybody!

Hawk Moth: Don't let Ladybug get away this time! Or I'll remove your powers! AND BRING ME THE BOY!

Ash: Even though Juleka's been akumatized to Reflekta, she knows she would never betray my heart. Hawk Moth should know that no amount of Akumas can destroy true love.

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA.

Ash: But still, her akumatized villain form sure is sexy!

Pikachu: [nods a bit] PIKA PI...

Then, Reflekta approached Ash while walking in a sexy way!

Reflekta: [flirtatious] Oh, Ashypoo~.

Ash: [blushes] H-Hey, R-Reflekta!

Pikachu: PIKA...

Reflekta: Time to continue where we left off! [kisses Ash on the lips and makes out with him]

Ash: [surprised] MMPH! [kisses back; moans into the kiss]

Then, they released and Reflekta started sucking on the same spot on Ash's neck where she did it earlier!

Ash: [moans]

Pikachu: [shocked] PIKA!

Then, she stopped and licked Ash's neck again!

Ash: [moans]

Pikachu: [uncomfortable] PIKACHU...

Ash: [moans] Reflekta.

Reflekta: [licking his neck; moans] Ashy.

Then, Reflekta pushed Ash to the floor with Reflekta on top of him!

Reflekta: Now, let's take this relationship of ours to the next level~!

Ash: [nervous a bit] W-Whaddya mean?

Pikachu: [nervous a bit] PIKA?

Then, she took Ash's arms by the wrists and placed his hands on her chest!

Ash: [gasps]

Pikachu: [shocked] PIKA?!

Ash: [blushing hard] Wh-What are you...?!

Reflekta: I want to experience your manly essence! And in return, I want to feel your hands all over me!

Ash: [blushing hard] I-I-I…

Reflekta: No more talking! Now, give my chest a good squeeze!

Ash couldn't resist his girl and couldn't bare to disappoint her, so he began to squeeze her chest!

Reflekta: [moans] Yes, that's right! Squeeze them good and hard!

Hawk Moth: [from his lair; disgusted] Reflekta, control yourself!

But she wasn't listening!

Ash: [blushing] S-So, I'm doing good?

Reflekta: You sure are! It's the best feeling ever! Not bad for your first time!

Ash: I-I guess!

Reflekta: And now, for your reward!

Ash: Reward?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Reflekta took out a purple lipstick in a holder that was the same color and pattern as her dress, and looked into her wrist mirror!

Reflekta: Just need some lipstick! [applies it] There!

Ash: [turns bright red in the face] Uh…

Reflekta: Here's your reward!

She then grabbed him by the shoulders with a flirtatious smirk!

Reflekta: Some kissies to mark my territory! [kisses Ash all over his face]

Pikachu: [shocked] PIKA!

When she was done, Ash's face was covered in lipstick marks from forehead to chin!

Ash: [laughs dazedly; swirls in eyes] That was… so much fun…

Reflekta: [giggles]

She then began to cuddle him like a life sized teddy bear!

Reflekta: You are just too cute~! [plays with his cheeks with her gloved hands; coos] Who's my big handsome cutie pie? It's you, Ashypoo~! [kissing him] Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah!

Ash: [giggles]

Meowth: Oy vey! I don't think I'll be able to erase what I just saw!

James: Me neither!

Jessie: I think I'm about to lose my lunch.

Hawk Moth: [growls] Reflekta, stop treating him like a play toy and bring him to me!

Reflekta: Patience, Hawk Moth! I'll give you a three-for-one deal! [crosses her fingers]

Hawk Moth: [growls]

Ash: [whispers] Just to be one hundred percent clear, you aren't really gonna bring me to that notorious villain, are you?

Reflekta: [winks; makes a kissy face at him]

Ash: [smiles]

Meanwhile, at TVi Studios...

Ladybug: I'm relying on you all!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): And cut! [they high five] Got it. Sorry but isn't your plan a bit complicated?

Ladybug: This isn't my real plan. The real plan is now that Reflekta knows that we're in the TV station, she'll come right here to get us!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): And fall right into our claws! [kisses Ladybug's hand]

Ladybug: You mean, into your nails.

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Still not funny.

Ladybug: [giggles]

Lucario: [chuckles] MRAH RAH.

Cat Noir (Reflekta): You think Ash is doing okay with the real Reflekta?

Ladybug: I'd hope so! Who knows what crazy stuff she might do to Ash since she's been given powers? She might get forceful with Ash for certain things I'd rather not say!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Agreed! You don't think she'll take him to Hawk Moth, do you?

Ladybug: I doubt it! She may be akumatized, but she still loves him either way! She even called him "darling"! She never calls him that!

Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Well, no stranger than facing robots and dragons and everything else we faced in the past!

Ladybug: Can't argue with that!

Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH!

They were soon in position. "Reflekta" walked into the studio, and Ladybug caught her with her yo-yo.

Ladybug: Gotcha!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): The Akuma has to be in her bracelet!

Ladybug: Checkmate, Reflekta!

But when they broke her bracelet, nothing happened!

Lucario: MRAH?!

Ladybug: Huh? This isn't the real one!

The real Reflekta walked in, cackling!

Mayor Bourgeois (Reflekta): I'm sorry, she promised that she'd changed me back if I tricked you.

Ladybug: Mayor Bourgeois?!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): [sees Reflekta about to fire] There! Look out!

Lucario: [Aura Sphere move] MRAH!

Reflekta managed to dodge and fire a beam from her gem, but Cat Noir jumped in front of Ladybug and took the hit from the ray!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): I've already been changed so I'm safe.

Ladybug: Thanks, Cat Noir! [glares at Reflekta] Where's Ash, Reflekta?!

Lucario: [threatening] MRAH RAH!

Ash: [standing by the doorway] I'm right here!

Ladybug: Ash, there you- [sees his face] GAH!

Ash: [blushing] Yeah. She went to town on me! But it was enjoyable and pleasurable!

Pikachu: [sweat drops] PIKACHU…

Ladybug: We'll... Discuss this later.

Lucario: [sighs] MRAH RAH…

Cat Noir (Reflekta): Looks like she made you her personal canvas! You're more tickled purple instead of tickled pink!

Ash: Yeah yeah! Laugh it up! Besides, I don't see Ladybug giving you this many kisses to the face!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): [sighs lovingly] Oh, that would be enjoyable!

Ash: But due to your condition, she's not interested in girls!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Cat Noir (Reflekta): [pouts; groans]

Ash: [to Ladybug] Go ahead, use that charm of yours!

Ladybug: [nods] Hm. [uses her power] Lucky Charm!

And the Lucky Charm today is...

Ladybug: [catches her Lucky Charm] A camera? Okay...

Ash: How's a camera gonna help us?

Ladybug's Lucky Vision showed the hanging spotlights, Reflekta's eyes, the jewel of her bracelet, and the Mind Plate, which Ladybug was currently using!

Ladybug: [dodges Reflekta's beams] Cat Noir! Turn off the lights, quickly!

Cat Noir ran to the power box as Reflekta turned to Ash with a flirtatious look!

Reflekta: Ooh. What a way to set the mood for us, eh, darling~?

Ash: [blushes hard; nods] Mhm!

Reflekta: Time for more sugar, my sugar lump~! [kisses Ash on the lips and begins to make out with him]

Ash: [surprised] MMPH! [moans into the kiss]

Ladybug: [gags; levitates Ash away from Reflekta, courtesy of the Mind Plate]

Ash: Hey! What's the big idea?!

Reflekta: Hey! He's MINE!

Ash: Uh oh.

Ladybug: [waves him around with her psychic abilities] You want him? He's over here!

Ash: Ladybug! Put me down!

Pikachu: PIKACHU PIKA!

Reflekta: You heard my man! Put 'im down!

Cat Noir shut the lights and gave Ladybug a thumbs up and Ladybug began taking many pictures of Reflekta, blinding her, while levitating Ash!

Ladybug: Over here, Reflekta!

Reflekta tried to attack, but every time she blasted rays from her gem, she ended up missing due to the flash from the camera!

Ash: Ladybug, on my signal, drop me!

Ladybug: Right!

When Reflekta was about to grab the camera...

Ash: NOW!

Then, Ash was dropped and Reflekta ended up grabbing Ash's hands instead!

Ash: [smirks] Looking for someone?

Reflekta: Ash!

Ash: Jules, there's something I need to tell you, right now!

Reflekta: What is it, my sweet, handsome man~?

She then hugged him and pressed her cheek against his!

Reflekta: Do you want my hand in marriage~? [scratches his chin with her nails] That's what you want, isn't it, handsome~? [makes a kissy face; coos]

Ash: Uh... No. Besides, we're too young to get married! [holding her hands] Listen, I understand why you're transforming everyone into you, that way you'll never be forgotten! But you'll never have to worry about that! Wanna know why? Because you have me! Juleka, you're one of the best things that's ever happened to me and I couldn't be more happier to have you in my life! I'll always notice you and remember you, because I love you!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH RAH!

Reflekta: Oh, Ash.

Hawk Moth: [from his lair; through the light mask] Don't listen to him! He's trying to trick you! Seize Ladybug's Miraculous and bring the boy to me!

Reflekta: No! I won't! No amount of Akumas you throw at me will change the fact that I love my man now and forever and you won't make me your slave anymore!

Hawk Moth: You will do as I command! [starts to control Reflekta]

Reflekta: [grunts and grimaces and winces in pain]

Ash: Juleka! Come on! Fight it!

Reflekta: Ash! The bracelet! That's where my Akuma is! Help me!

Ash: Right! [takes the bracelet and breaks it]

Then, the Akuma flies out!

Ash: Mind if I do the honors with your yo-yo, Ladybug?

Ladybug: [hands Ash her yo-yo] Be my guest!

Ash: [opens the yo-yo] Playtime's over for you, nasty Akuma! [spins it around] Time to de-evilize! [catches the Akuma] Gotcha! [releases it as a purified butterfly] Buh-bye, little butterfly!

Ladybug was impressed!

Ladybug: [tosses her Lucky Charm into the air] Miraculous Ladybug!

Thanks to the magical ladybugs, everything was restored, and all the Reflekta-morphed people were transformed back into their original selves, including Cat Noir.

Ladybug: You were awesome, Cat Noir!

Ash: [hugging Reflekta] Super awesome!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Cat Noir: And with those shoes on too! By the way, those things should be illegal!

Then, Reflekta turned back into Juleka!

Juleka: Where, where am I?

Ash: It's okay, Jules! You're safe now!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Juleka: [hugs Ash]

Ash: [smiles and hugs Juleka]

Ladybug and Cat Noir smiled from this!

Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Ash: [fist bump] Pound it!

Pikachu: [joins in] PIKA!

Lucario: [joins in] MRAH!

Ladybug: [takes the Mind Plate off and powers down; gives it back to Ash] Here, Ash! I believe this belongs to you!

Ash: Thank you!

Ladybug: [brings Juleka over to Ash] Could you take this girl back to her school please, Ash?

Ash: You got it, Ladybug!

Ladybug: Thank you! [as her Miraculous began to beep] See you later, Cat Noir! [winks] Bug out!

She ran away while Cat Noir smiled at her!

Ash: [takes Juleka's hand] Come on, Jules. Let's go.

Juleka: Hm.

Then, Juleka hugged his arm!

Ash: [giggles]

Pikachu: [jumps onto his shoulder] PIKA PI!

Lucario: [hands him his backpack] MRAH RAH!

Ash: [takes his backpack] Thanks, Lucario!

The couple and the Pokémon exited the building, boarded onto Dragonite, and flew back to school! Back at Hawk Moth's lair, the said villain was not happy at all!

Hawk Moth: You might've pulled it off today, Ladybug, but everything is not as it appears to be!

He then stomped his cane in anger and frustration about Ash!

Hawk Moth: And that boy! I thought beating him at his big heart would work! And yet he still got the best of me without even trying!

James: Indeed so, boss! But let's not forget! The gothic twerpette means very dearly to him! And if anything were to happen to her, just imagine how devastated he'd be!

Jessie: Well, we'll just have to dig deeper next time!

Meowth: And how!

Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!

Hawk Moth: Well said, my loyal followers. Be warned, young man. You got very lucky this time around! But you WON'T escape my wrath the next time! Watch out, Ladybug! I'll destroy you when you least expect it!

Then, the window of his lair closed!

Marinette arrived at the entrance outside the school. While digging through her purse, she pulled out the memory card.

Marinette: You were right, Tikki. Stealing this was a bad choice.

Tikki: So you're not gonna erase the photo?

Marinette: No, I've got another idea, that I think you'd approve of. And I think Ash will love it, too!

Tikki: That's my girl!

Popplio: [proud of her mama; nuzzling against her; licks her cheek] POP POP POP POP!

Marinette: [giggles]

Marinette entered the school while Vincent was taking a photo of another class. Marinette went over to Chloé and Sabrina, who were sitting down, and took out the rich girl's phone.

Marinette: [returns Chloé's phone to her] Here, you can have this back.

Chloé was pleased to have her phone back, but she gave Marinette a dirty look behind her back!

Popplio: [sticks out her tongue and blows a raspberry] POP!

Ash came over to Chloé and Sabrina with angry look upon his face!

Ash: [angry and annoyed] Sick! You're really sick, you know that, Chloé?! This has to be one of the lowest and worst things you've ever done!

Pikachu: [angrily agreeing] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [angrily agreeing; growls] MRAH RAH MRAH!

Chloé: So? Who asked for your opinion?!

Ash: [angry] You're the reason why my girlfriend was akumatized AND you left her out of the picture, just so you could be next to Adrien! You're the absolute worst! You know what happens to people who be slick and mess with my loved ones?! Huh?! No?! Wanna guess?! Huh?!

Chloé: I don't know! Free mani-pedi?

Lucario: [facepalms] MRAH RAH RAH.

Ash: No! [to Sabrina] Sabrina, move out of the way!

Sabrina did just that!

Ash: They get [snaps his fingers] the shock treatment!

Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Chloé: [electrocuted] GAH!

When the electricity ceased, Chloé had burnt marks and her hair became spiky and out of place!

Chloé: [horrified] My hair!

Ash: And let this be a lesson for you! [walks away and goes to the others]

Pikachu: [follows] PIKA!

Lucario: [follows] MRAH!

Sabrina: Ash! Hold up!

Ash: [stops] Hm?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Lucario: MRAH...

Sabrina: Ash, I wanted to apologize for hurting you and for locking Juleka in the bathroom! I was wrong for what I did! I know that you and Juleka love each other very much and I promise, it won't happen again!

Ash was surprised by this, but then he smiled!

Ash: Thank you, Sabrina! You know, you could always ditch Chloé and be my best friend! But I don't expect you to do my homework and all that other stuff Chloé does! [holds out his hand] Whaddya say, Sabrina? Best friends?

Instead of shaking his hand, Sabrina gave Ash a hug!

Sabrina: Best friends forever! But let's hang out in secret! Chloé would flip if she caught me hanging out with you.

Ash: Good idea!

Sabrina: [kisses his cheek much to his surprise] Just a little something for you! [walks away]

Ash was surprised by this and cupped the cheek Sabrina pecked!

Ash: I guess Sabrina really does care.

Pikachu: PIKA.

Lucario: RAH MRAH.

Ash: [smiles]

Marinette saw this and smiled and came over to Ash!

Marinette: I guess Sabrina might be showing a soft spot for you!

Ash: I guess so!

Marinette: At least she made it up to you!

Ash: Yeah! [as his face gains a look of concern] But what are we gonna do about the class photo? Juleka has to be in it!

Marinette: You'll find out soon enough!

Ash: Awesome! I trust you know what you're doing! [rubs his arm] So… about what happened today. I guess I'm suspended from being a hero, huh?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Lucario: MRAH?

Marinette: Of course not! I know you didn't want to fight Juleka! And I know she wouldn't turn you in to Hawk Moth because of how much she cares about you!

Ash: Thanks, Marinette! But… I couldn't even do anything at all! I was practically useless!

Marinette: Are you kidding? The way you swung the yo-yo around like the I do it and capturing the Akuma was precise! You could probably be just as good a Ladybug as I am!

Ash: [surprised] Y-You really think so?

Marinette: I know so!

Ash: [smiles] Thanks, Marinette! I needed that!

Marinette: That's what friends are for!

Ash: [blushing] Also… my experience with Juleka as Reflekta wasn't bad at all!

Marinette: I know! You were basically painted with lipstick marks!

Pikachu: [holding in a laugh; covering his mouth] PIKACHU!

Ash: Yeah yeah! Laugh all you want! But I don't see you giving Adrien that many kisses or you giving him [shows his neck] this!

Marinette became shocked at what she saw on Ash's neck!

Marinette: Ash! Is that a hickey?!

Ash: If that's what this is called, then yes!

Popplio: POP?

Marinette: Good grief! You bruise like a peach!

Ash: Ya think?!

Popplio: [trying to see] POPPLIO!

Marinette: Uh-uh! You'll understand when you're older!

Ash: But it's not so bad! It just shows that Juleka really loves me! Especially when she's Reflekta!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Marinette: Because she's more forceful as Reflekta?

Ash: Maaaaaaybe!

Marinette: Oh, Ash!

Ash: Weren't you gonna do something about the class photo?

Marinette: Oh! Right! Why don't you go check on Juleka while I take care of the rest?

Ash: Okay!

Vincent: [about to take the picture] Ready?

Marinette: [to Vincent; holds out the memory card] Oh hey! You dropped this!

The photographer looked at his camera and saw that is was missing its memory card!

Vincent: Ah, grazi! [puts the card in his camera]

Marinette: I know you're very busy but one of our classmates wasn't in the photo you took. Is there anyway we could do it again?

Popplio: POP?

Vincent: Well, I'm running late with everything that's been going on and... Mr Damocles.

Marinette: I understand but...could we do it after you're finished here at the school? We could set up at the park next door!

Vincent: Well...

Marinette: We want the most awesome photo taken by the most awesome photographer, PLEASE!

Popplio: [with baby doll eyes; begging] POP?

Vincent: Well, when you put it that way...OK!

Marinette: [giggles excitedly]

Popplio: [claps happily] POP POP POP POP POP!

Juleka was sitting on the steps while looking into her wrist mirror, when she saw Ash coming towards her from behind in the reflection!

Ash: Hey, Jules!

Pikachu: [greeting] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [greeting] MRAH RAH!

Juleka: Oh. Hey, babe.

Ash: [sits down with her] You feeling okay?

Juleka: Not really.

Ash: What's the matter, Juleka? You can tell me!

Juleka: I'm just still upset about not being in the photo.

Ash: [hugs his girlfriend] Don't worry, Juleka! Me and Marinette are gonna make sure you're in the picture this time! [winks] I promise!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

That made Juleka smile! Then, she hugged him and kissed his cheek!

Juleka: Thanks, babe. [cups his face; nuzzles noses with him; coos] Sweet boy~.

Ash: [giggles]

Juleka: I don't have much memory when I was akumatized, but I… I didn't hurt you, right?

Ash: Lucky for you, you didn't! But you were quite forceful! And I got [reveals the hickey on his neck] this hickey. I honestly didn't know that I bruise like a peach.

Juleka was completely shocked by this and her face flushed bright red in embarrassment!

Ash: Hey, it's fine, Jules! I would've done the same thing! It just shows that you really really love me!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

That made Juleka feel better! Then, she hugged Ash again!

Ash: [hugs back; giggles]

Juleka: [strokes Ash's cheek] I'm just glad I didn't hurt you, Ashy. I couldn't bare to see you hurt. You mean so much to me. [tearing up; voice breaking] I-If anything were to happen to you, I-I don't know what I'd do without you. [cries]

Ash: It's okay, Jules! I'm not gonna go anywhere! And that's a promise!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH RAH!

That made Juleka feel a little better! Once again, she hugged her soulmate!

Juleka: I love you.

Ash: I love you too, Jules!

Later, at the park, everyone was hanging out while waiting for the photographer to arrive! Juleka even brought along her puppy, Cole!

Cole: [barks]

Juleka: [smiles; hoists Cole up; kisses his nose]

Rose: Cole is so cute!

Mylène: Oh, I know!

Juleka: Yeah.

Cole: [barks]

Ash: But I bet you still wish you had a Pokémon partner, huh, Jules?

Pikachu: PIKACHU?

Juleka: Yeah.

Ash: [looks at Marinette and Pikachu, who nods] I think I might know who can help!

Nino: Who?

Ash: You'll see! I believe it's about time you guys met a friend of mine!

Kim: Who would that be?

Arceus: [invisible] That would be me!

Mylène: EEK! What was that?!

Max: A voice?

Alya: Come on, our ears are just playing tricks on us!

Arceus: [invisible] Your ears are not playing tricks, Miss Césaire! [appears in his medium height/middleweight size] You did hear a voice! Me!

Adrien: [gasps]

Litten: [gasps] LITTEN!

Alix: Whoa!

Rose: [a little frightened] Who-Who're you?

Arceus: No need to be afraid, my friends. My name is Arceus. The God of all Pokémon.

Kim: The God of all Pokémon? No way!

Max: Incredible!

Arceus: Indeed! A pleasure to make your acquaintances at last!

Ash: Yeah! Arceus and I are good friends!

Arceus: And if you're wondering why he hasn't told you all about me, he did it to protect you all! If any evils in this world were to capture me, it would put the Pokémon World in grave danger!

Mylène: [gasps]

Ash: I'm sorry, guys! I wanted to tell you! Honest! But I didn't want any harm to come to you guys!

Adrien: It's alright, Ash! We understand!

Litten: [agreeing] LITTEN!

Ivan: Yeah!

Max: Protecting us is very advisable in certain situations!

Alix: Totally!

Ash: Thanks, you guys!

Arceus: Now then, I believe it is you that wants my help, Miss Juleka Couffaine!

Juleka: [gasps] How did you know my name?

Arceus: My chosen one has told me much about you! I can tell you've had a great admiration for him when you met him for the very first time.

Ash: It's true, Arceus! We were made for each other!

Arceus: I believe the same could be said about Marinette and young Adri-

Marinette: [through her teeth] Arceus, ix-nay on the ame-nay.

Arceus: Hm?

Adrien: Huh?

Ash: Oh, he was just saying how Adrian and Marinette are-

Marinette: [covers his mouth; bonks him on the head]

Ash: OW! What did I do?

Arceus: [chuckles] Ah, I see. What I meant to say was that you and young Adrien have become [winks at Marinette] very close friends.

Ash: In a way, yes! Arceus, my girlfriend really wants a Pokémon partner, and we were wondering if you could help arrange that?

Arceus: [chuckles] My friend, your loved one has actually had one for quite some time now.

Ash: Huh?

Marinette: She has?

Alya: Say what now?

Juleka: Whaddya mean?

Arceus: [looking at Cole] Miss Couffaine, your young pup isn't exactly what it seems.

Ash: You mean Cole?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Marinette: Whaddya mean it's not what it seems?

Popplio: POP?

Arceus: Let me show you. [to Cole] Come closer, little one.

The pup did so!

Arceus: [focusing its powers] Hmm...

A bright white light engulfed Cole!

Juleka: Uh, Cole?

Ash: What's going on?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Lucario: MRAH?

After the light died down, Cole had looked much different!

Rockruff: [turns to Juleka; smiles and wags his tail] ROCKRUFF!

Arceus: Behold!

Juleka: [gasps] Cole?!

Arceus: Correction! This is Rockruff!

Ash: [gasps] It was a Rockruff this whole time?!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Lucario: MRAH?!

Arceus: Yes! I had recently brought Rockruff here to Paris! I used my powers to disguise it as a regular dog so as to not draw suspicion.

Ash: [gasps; eyes sparkle in awe] Awesome!

Marinette: How didn't we see this?!

Arceus: [to Mylène] Miss Haprèle, I believe you remember adopting a puppy on Valentines Day for Miss Couffaine here, correct?

Mylène: [nervously] Uh, yes. I remember a nice man there giving me the puppy for free. [realizing; gasps] Wait a minute! Were YOU the nice man who gave me the puppy?!

Arceus: [chuckles] Indeed I was! I took on the form of a human so as to not raise any suspicion!

Rose: [gasps excitedly] Does that mean you were watching us prepare our special scavenger hunt to bring Ash and Juleka together?!

Arceus: Indeed! And you did a fine job at bringing them together!

Rose: [squeals excitedly]

Arceus: And Miss Couffaine, this little Rockruff is your very own Pokémon partner! [bows his head] You have my eternal gratitude for always looking out for my chosen one.

Juleka: Uh, thank you.

The purple streaked girl got down on her knees towards Rockruff and smiled!

Juleka: Hi, Rockruff. Nice to meet you.

Rockruff: [jumps into her arms; rubs the rocks on its neck affectionately on her] ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCKRUFF!

Juleka: [giggles]

Rockruff: [licks her cheek] ROCK ROCK!

Ash: Looks like Rockruff really likes you!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Juleka smiled and picked up her Puppy Pokémon!

Rockruff: [happy] RUFF!

Juleka: [smiles; rubs his head] You're so cute.

Ash: Let's not forget about making it official with your new partner!

Ash then took out what seemed to be a shiny green PokéBall that had an orange lining around it!

Juleka: A green PokéBall? Cool.

Ash: It's not just an ordinary PokéBall, it's a Dusk Ball!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Juleka: A Dusk Ball?

Ash: They're usually good for catching Pokémon at night or in caves! Before I came here to Paris, I recently found this in the Galar Region! I've been saving it for a special occasion, and this is definitely it! [gives it to Juleka; smiles] Here, Juleka. I want you to have it.

Juleka: For me?

Ash: [nods] Of course! Honestly, I've been saving it for this specific moment!

Juleka: [takes it] Thanks, babe. [kisses his cheek] Mwah.

Ash: [giggles]

Juleka turned to Rockruff while holding the Dusk Ball!

Juleka: Whaddya say, Rockruff? Do you… wanna be my partner?

Without giving it a second thought, Rockruff booped its nose onto the Dusk Ball and it got sucked into it in a purple light!

Juleka: [gasps]

After a few shakes and a successful 'ping', Juleka had officially caught her very first Pokémon!

Ash: Alright, Jules! You caught your first Pokémon!

Pikachu: [happy] PI PIKACHU!

Lucario: [happy] MRAH RAH RAH!

Marinette: Congratulations, Juleka!

Popplio: [happily claps; saying "Yay, Auntie Juleka!"] POP POP POP POP, POPPLIO!

Arceus: Indeed. Well done, Miss Couffaine.

Juleka just smiled!

Arceus: Now, I must go. But before I leave, I must ask that you must keep our meeting a secret. [glances over at a certain snobby blonde] And that goes for you too, Miss Bourgeois.

Chloé: Huh?

Ash: [serious] NO ONE can know about Arceus, Chloé!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH RAH!

Chloé: Fine! Whatever!

Alya: You don't need to worry about a thing, Arceus! Anytime anyone asks on the Ladyblog how Ash got his powerups, I'll just tell them he had help from an old friend that he won't name! [winks]

Arceus: [chuckles] Thank you, Miss Césaire! [to Juleka] And Miss Couffaine, I trust you'll keep taking care of my chosen one?

Juleka: Of course, Arceus. [side hugs Ash] I'll make sure of that. [strokes the side of his head] I'm always gonna take care of my sweet Ashy. [kisses his cheek] Mwah.

Ash: [giggles]

Arceus: [chuckles] Very well. Farewell, my friends. [as he vanishes] Until we meet again.

Nino: That... was AWESOME!

Ash: That's Arceus for you! They don't call him a Mythical Pokémon for nothing!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Alya: Whoa! A Mythical Pokémon!

Alix: Wicked!

Scorbunny: [awed] SCORBUN...

Ash: Yep! Just goes to show that Pokémon really are amazing!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH RAH!

Ash: [to Juleka] Why don't you bring Rockruff out, Juleka?

Juleka: Okay. [tosses the Dusk Ball]

Rockruff: [appearing; wags his tail] ROCKRUFF!

Juleka: Hey, Rockruff.

Rockruff: [jumps into her arms] ROCK! [rubbing its rocks against her; affectionate] ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCKRUFF!

Juleka: [giggles]

She then gave Rockruff a hug!

Juleka: I love you too, Rockruff! I'm gonna take good care of you! I promise! [kisses his forehead]

Rockruff: [licks her cheek]

Juleka: [giggles]

Ash: [smiles] I'm so proud of you, Jules! You finally got your very own Pokémon partner!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKACHU!

Juleka: Thanks, babe. But I couldn't have gotten one without you. [hugs his arm] I had a super hot teacher. [kisses his cheeks] Mwah. Mwah.

Ash: [blushes] Aww. [giggles]

Pikachu: [smiles] PIKACHU!

But then, trouble struck as a retractable rubber hand shot out and snagged Pikachu!

Pikachu: PIKA?! [scared] PIKA!

Ash: [gasps] Pikachu!

Pikachu: [scared] PIKA!

Marinette: What was that?!

Popplio: POP?!

And cue the motto!

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, what's that is us!

James: And make it double, being us is a plus!

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all people within our nation!

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!

James: To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie: Jessie!

James: And James!

Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

James: Surrender now or prepare for a love-ruining fight!

Meowth: Meowth! That's right!

Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!

Ash: [growls] Team Rocket!

Marinette: Not you rookie villains again!

Popplio: [pouting with inflated cheeks] POP!

Alix: I thought we saw the last of you three stooges!

Scorbunny: [angry] SCORBUNNY!

Ash: They want you to believe that because all this time, they're in cahoots with Hawk Moth!

Pikachu: [struggling to break free] PIKA PIKA!

Alix: Scorbunny, go and free Pikachu! Use Double Kick!

Scorbunny: [rushes over] SCORBUN! [Double Kick move] NY...BUN! BUN!

That made Meowth drop the device he used to grab Pikachu, freeing it!

Meowth: Hey!

Ash: Alright! Thanks, Alix!

Pikachu: [jumps onto Ash's shoulder; grateful] PIKACHU!

Alix: No problem, Ash!

Jessie: [growls] The rollerblades twerpette ruined everything!

Alix: [smirks; mocking] Aw, are the big bad grownups gonna cry?! Wah wah wah wah wah wah!

Scorbunny: [spanking its rear end at them; taunting] SCOR SCOR SCORBUN! SCOR SCOR NY-NY-BUN!

Jessie: [snarls angrily] Now you've made me mad!

Jessie and James: [raises their arms up into the air] Come on down!

Pelipper: [flying; singing] PELIP PELIPPER! [drops the Rocket Prize Master from its bill]

[THUD!]

Meowth: [does a backflip and summersault into the coin slot] Gangway!

Jessie: Our secret...

James: [turns the slot] Rocket Prize...

Jessie and James: [as two PokéBalls dropped out] Master!

Jessie: Fresh from headquarters!

James: [as they toss the PokéBalls] And today we have...

And out came...

Jessie: The Human Shape Pokémon, Jynx!

Jynx: JYNX JYNX!

James: And the Meditate Pokémon, Medicham!

Medicham: MEDICHAM!

Ash: Let's get 'em, guys!

Pikachu: [determined] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [determined] MRAH RAH!

Jessie: As if! Time for an Avalanche!

Jynx: [Avalanche move] JYNX!

Then, Jynx's body glows light blue, and a dark cloud appears above the heroes. Then, chunks of white ice rained down from the cloud and they surrounded the rest of the group!

Alya: What the?!

Rose: We're trapped!

Mylène: [hugs Ivan; whimpers in fear]

Ash: Oh no!

Jessie: All meddlers without Pokémon get caged in ice!

Chloé: [bangs on the ice] Let us out this instant [pulls out her phone] or else my daddy will have you thrown in jail!

Kim: [grunts; rams into the ice]

James: That won't happen! Medicham, bring that snobby twerpette's phone over with Psychic!

Medicham: [Psychic move] MEDICHAM...

Chloé: [phone gets taken] Hey! My phone!

James: You won't be needing this anymore! Use Force Palm!

Medicham: [Force Palm move] MEDI…CHAM!

Medicham's Force Palm broke Chloé's phone in half!

Chloé: [gasps in horror] NO!

Jessie: Try to call for your daddy now, crybaby!

Chloé: [growls angrily] Why you…

Ash: [to Juleka, Marinette, Adrien, and Alix] Looks like it's up to us!

Marinette: Yeah! Let's do it!

Popplio: [determined] POPPLIO!

Adrien: Right!

Litten: [determined] TEN!

Alix: Okay!

Scorbunny: [determined] SCORBUN!

Ash: [to Juleka; smiles determinedly] You ready for this, Jules? Your very first Pokémon Battle!

Pikachu: [determined] PIKACHU!

Lucario: [determined] MRAH RAH!

Juleka: Yeah.

Juleka smiled determinedly and turned to her partner!

Juleka: Ready, Rockruff?

Rockruff: [determined] RUFF!

Ash: [checks his Rotom Phone] Rockruff's moves are Rock Throw, Bite, Tackle, and Dig!

Juleka: Okay. [gains a determined look on her face] Use Rock Throw!

Rockruff: [Rock Throw move] RRRRRRRRUFF!

Jynx: [hit] JYNX!

Jessie: That's not gonna be enough! How about we give you a Lovely Kiss? [makes a kissy face] Now pucker up!

Jynx: [puckers up; Lovely Kiss move] JYNX…

Juleka: Dodge it, quick!

Rockruff: [jumps back] RUFF!

But Jynx managed to catch it in its arms!

Rockruff: [shocked] ROCK?!

Jessie: Now, kiss away!

Jynx: [Lovely Kiss move; smooches Rockruff] JYNX!

But surprisingly, nothing happened!

Jynx: [shocked] JYNX?!

Rockruff: RUFF?

Juleka: [sighs in relief]

Jessie: What?! Why isn't Rockruff asleep?!

Ash: Oh right! This Rockruff's special ability is Vital Spirit! It won't fall asleep!

Juleka: [happily gasps]

Ash: Beat that, Team Rocket!

Jessie: [growls] We'll show you! Jynx, use Ice Punch!

Jynx: [Ice Punch move] JYNX!

Adrien: Litten, Fire Fang!

Litten: [Fire Fang move] LIT...TEN!

Jynx: [pained] JYNX!

James: Oh yeah?! Medicham, use Focus Punch!

Medicham: [Focus Punch move] MEDICHAM...

Alix: Scorbunny, Ember attack, now!

Scorbunny: [Ember move] SCOR...BUN!

Medicham: [hit] CHAM! [burned] MEDI!

Ash: Medicham's got the burned status condition! It'll keep taking damage until it's been defeated!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Alix: Sweet!

Jessie: Use Heart Stamp!

Jynx: [Heart Stamp move] JYNX JYNX!

Scorbunny: [hit] SCORBUN!

Alix: Scorbunny, no!

James: Medicham, use Confusion!

Medicham: [Confusion move] MEDICHAM!

Marinette: Popplio, Bubble Beam!

Popplio: [Bubble Beam move] POP...POP POP POP POP POP POP!

That countered the Confusion attack!

Marinette: Beat that!

James: Use Force Palm!

Medicham: [Force Palm move] MEDICHAM!

Ash: Use Iron Tail!

Pikachu: [Iron Tail move] CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...PIKA!

But Medicham dodged and landed the hit on Popplio!

Popplio: [pained; cries in pain] POPPLIO!

Marinette: POPPLIO!

Popplio: [whimpers in pain] POP POP...

Jessie: [laughs cunningly] Talk about a big baby of a Pokémon!

Meowth: A total wimp!

They made a huge mistake! Marinette was super angry now!

Marinette: [infuriated] How dare you! My Popplio is not a wimp!

Popplio: POP?

Marinette: My baby girl is brave, strong, and most of all, my very best friend! And you have no right to talk trash about her like that! The only wimps I see around here are YOU!

Popplio felt touched that Marinette was standing up for her!

Popplio: [touched; smiles] POPPLIO…

Then, she found herself a newfound determination that she never felt before! Making it learn a new move!

Popplio: [Aqua Jet move] POP...

Marinette: [gasps]

Ash: An Aqua Jet!

Popplio: [Aqua Jet move] POP...PLIO!

Medicham: [hit and sent flying backwards in impact] MEDI!

Jynx: [as Medicham collided with it] JYNX!

Team Rocket: [as both Pokémon collided into them] GUH!

Meowth: Oy. Dat hoits!

Then, they felt a trembling in the ground! Then, out from beneath Team Rocket came...

Rockruff: [Dig move] RRRRRRRRUFF!

Team Rocket: [hit] GYAH!

Ash: Now, for the grand finale! Pikachu, Thunderbolt 'em!

Juleka: Rockruff, use Rock Throw!

Rockruff: [Rock Throw move] RRRRRRRRRRRUFF!

Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKA…CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Team Rocket: [screaming]

[BOOM!]

Team Rocket: [sent flying] WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!

Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!

[star finish]

Alix: [laughs] Have a nice flight!

Marinette: And don't come back either!

Ash: [to Juleka; eyes sparkling in awe] Jules, YOU WERE SO COOL! You won your very first Pokémon Battle!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Juleka: I couldn't have done it without you, babe. [kisses his cheek; hugs him] My big handsome sweetheart.

Ash: [giggles]

Pikachu: [smiles] PIKACHU!

Juleka picked up her Puppy Pokémon partner!

Juleka: And I'm very proud of you too, Rockruff! [hugs her Pokémon; coos] My good boy.

Rockruff: [happy] RUFF! [licks her affectionately] ROCK ROCK ROCKRUFF!

Juleka: [giggles]

Popplio: [jumps into Marinette's arms] POPPLIO!

Marinette: [hugs Popplio] Oh, Popplio! I'm so proud of you! You learned a new move!

Lucario: [breaking the ice prison] MRAH RAH!

Rose: We're free!

Nino: Alright!

Ash: Yeah!

Soon, Vincent had arrived to take the new photo! And this time, Juleka was included! Her new Pokémon partner was even in it, too!

Vincent: Okay, we're all good here, ready?

Ash: We're ready, Vincent! Fire away!

Adrien: This photo was a good idea, Marinette!

Marinette: [blushes] Thanks, Adrien!

Ash: And the best part is, we'll be in it together, Jules!

Juleka: Yeah.

Chloé: [who was standing off to the side with Sabrina] Like I'd want to be part of their stupid photo anyway! Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!

Sabrina: [in her head while looking at Ash with dreamy eyes] Well, not everything is utterly ridiculous!

Then, Vincent readied the camera and he snapped the photo! Afterwards, they went through the images and it was picture perfect!

Rose: The class photo curse is broken!

Juleka: [to Marinette] Thank you, Marinette!

Rockruff: [happy] ROCK ROCK, ROCKRUFF!

Ash: [pouts] What about your Ashy? I helped too, ya know!

Juleka: And thank you too, Ashy! [kisses him on the lips]

Then, they began to make out!

Marinette: [giggles] Oh, Ash.

Pikachu: [giggles] PIKACHU!

Popplio: [giggles] POPPLIO!

The scene ends with Ash, the Pokémon, and his friends taking more pictures with Juleka in every single one and Ash and Juleka holding each other close, Ash and Reflekta laying on the ground, face-to-face, and Juleka hugging Rockruff!

Narrator: What a turn of events! Even when she's akumatized, Juleka still loves Ash to pieces! But as Reflekta, she can be quite forceful and seductive! But nonetheless, Ash finds her quite beautiful! As herself and as Reflekta! And his girl finally got herself a Pokémon partner! Rockruff! Which she actually had all along! With the class photo curse broken, Juleka doesn't have to worry about being missing from the picture anymore! Thanks to our hero! What's next for our loving couple? The answers to come, as the journey through Paris continues!

And that's the end of this chapter! I hope you all enjoyed it! And there's more to come! So until then, see you all next time!
