*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!*
Narrator: Today is a very special day at school! Today is career day! Where lots of people with different careers come to talk about their jobs to the students!
At the Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie, Sabine was preparing Tom for his presentation at school.
Marinette: Ready, papa?
Tom: As much as I'll ever be.
Ash: Hey uh, what's career day about anyway?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Marinette: Well, we're bringing our families to school so they can talk about their jobs and what they do!
Ash: Wow! That's awesome!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Lucario: MRAH!
Marinette: What about you, Ash? Is your mom coming?
Ash: Um... [makes gestures]
Marinette: [realizing] Oh! Right! Dimensional distance! I forgot!
Tom: What was that, sweetie?
Marinette: [nervous] Uh, nothing, papa! [composes herself] Ash's mom can't come because she's too far away!
Ash: Yeah! That's right!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Tom: Oh! Well, that's okay!
After Tom started to head out...
Ash: [whispers] Don't worry, Marinette! Everyone will get the chance to see my mom! It'll be through video chat! But don't tell anyone! It's a surprise!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Marinette: [pretends she's zipping her lips]
Ash: [giggles]
Marinette: Come on! We don't wanna be late!
Ash, Marinette, and her father left the house!
Sabine: Happy Career Day, my darlings!
[Intro: It's Ladybug]
Marinette (speaking):
In the daytime, I'm Marinette,
Just a normal girl with a normal life.
Ash (speaking):
And I'm Ash Ketchum. I'm a Pokémon Trainer, and my goal is to be the very best, like no one ever was.
Marinette (speaking):
But there's something about us that no one knows yet.
Ash (speaking):
'Cause we have a secret.
Chorus:
Miraculous! Simply the best!
Up to the test when things go wrong!
Pokémon! Right by our side!
United as one, we will survive!
Miraculous! The luckiest!
The power of love, always so strong!
Miraculous!
POKÉMON!
[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 9: Rogercop!
At school, everyone was excited for career day!
Ash: [excited] Oh boy oh boy!
Pikachu: [excited] PIKACHU!
Alya: Excited, are we?
Ash: You bet we are!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Alya: I can tell!
That's when Miss Bustier spoke up!
Miss Bustier: Attention, everyone!
The students gave their attention to the teacher!
Miss Bustier: I know that you're all aware that today's career day, and many of you have brought in your parents for them to tell us about their wonderful jobs!
Everyone has to agree on that!
Miss Bustier: And now, I'm very pleased to announce who will be presenting first!
Chloé smirked, knowing it was her!
Miss Bustier: First up is Ash!
Chloé: What?!
Ash: Really? Awesome!
Then, Ash went up!
Ash: Well, due to my mom living far away, she can't make it in person! But today, she's gonna be here in a different way! And she has a special guest with her today! [dials as it was projected in the screen]
Delia: [over video chat with Mimey and Professor Oak] Hello there, everyone!
Mr. Mime (Mimey): [greeting] MR. MIME!
Professor Oak: Greetings and salutations!
Ash: Hey, mom! Professor Oak!
Pikachu: [greeting] PIKA PIKA!
Lucario: [greeting] MRAH!
Ash: Everyone! This is my mom! And this is her partner, Mimey! And this is Professor Oak!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Delia: Hello there!
Mr. Mime (Mimey): [greeting] MIME MIME MR. MIME!
Professor Oak: Greetings!
Miss Bustier: A pleasure to meet you! Now, tell us! What do you two do for a career?
Delia: Well, I don't really have a career! But Professor Oak does! And you might find it interesting!
Professor Oak: You see, I happen to be a Pokémon researcher, as well as the Pokémon Professor here in the Kanto Region! My work consists of the many studies of Pokémon in their environments, how they battle, and the bonds they share with their trainers! I also happen to be a Pokémon Poet!
Everyone got intrigued by that!
Rose: [raises her hand]
Professor Oak: Yes, young lady?
Rose: Would it be alright if we heard one of your poems?
Max: I'd like to hear one as well!
Mylène: Me too!
Professor Oak: I'd be delighted to!
He then cleared his throat and began!
Professor Oak: How Bulbizarre the passing of time can be... Catching Pokémon for everyone to see! Growlithe's flames burn ever so bright! Keeping those all warm at night! Blastoise fight or hide away to fight again some other day!
Everyone was awed by that and applauded!
Alya: [raises her hand]
Professor Oak: Question, Miss Césaire?
Alya: Yes! Since you're a Pokémon Professor, what do you do for Pokémon Trainers that are in Kanto and which Pokémon do you give them?
Professor Oak: I'm glad you asked! When a trainer becomes old enough to go out on a journey, I provide them their very first Pokémon! [as three Pokémon come up to Professor Oak and Delia] And they can choose from either of these three Pokémon! There's Squirtle! A Water-type!
Squirtle: SQUIRTLE!
Professor Oak: Charmander! A Fire-type!
Charmander: CHAR!
Professor Oak: And Bulbasaur! A Grass-type!
Bulbasaur: BULBASAUR!
Alya: [gasps] [smiles] Amazing! They're all so cool!
Rose: [coos] Oh! Bulbasaur is so cute!
Kim: I like Charmander! That flame on its tail looks so cool!
Nino: And I like Squirtle! That one looks like it could be my kind of Pokémon!
Charmander: [proud] CHAR CHARMANDER!
Squirtle: [happy] SQUIRTLE SQUIRT!
Bulbasaur: [flattered] [blushes] BULBASAUR!
Adrien: [raises his hand] Question please?
Professor Oak: Yes, young man?
Adrien: What happened with Ash when he was ready to begin his journey?
Ash: [embarrassed] Here we go!
Professor Oak: Well, when Ash first started his Pokémon journey, he well, lost track of time and ended up late and I had given the new trainers these three Pokémon! One of which was my grandson, Gary, who chose Squirtle! But in the end, it worked out for Ash when I gave him Pikachu! It was the only one left! I would say that Ash getting Pikachu was more of a blessing than anything else! Ash and Pikachu share a great bond between each other and they had many adventures and made lots of new friends and caught all sorts of Pokémon! From Caterpie, who is now a full grown Butterfree, to the Mythical Pokémon, Melmetal in Alola and still counting with the Pokémon he currently has! Why he even has 30 Tauros always charging around my garden!
Alya: [turns to Ash in shock] 30 Tauros?! How do you even have that many?!
Ash: Long story short, they were all I managed to catch in the Safari Zone!
Professor Oak: It's true!
Marinette: [raises her hand] Question, Professor Oak?
Professor Oak: Yes, Miss Dupain-Cheng?
Marinette: Where exactly are all of Ash's other Pokémon?
Professor Oak: Most of them he caught are with me in Kanto! And four of his Alolan Pokémon are in Alola with Professor Kukui!
Marinette: Oh! I see!
Rose: Pokémon are so amazing!
Professor Oak: Indeed! It just goes to show you that the world of Pokémon-
But then, a certain Sludge Pokémon started smothering Professor Oak!
Muk: MUK!
Professor Oak: [yelps]
Nino: Whoa! Dude!
Miss Bustier: Oh my! Are you alright, Professor?
Marinette: What is that?
Chloé: [disgusted] Ugh! That thing looks disgusting!
Ash: That "thing" happens to be one of my Pokémon! It's called Muk!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Muk: [waves to Ash] MUK MUK!
Ash: Hey there, Muk!
Pikachu: [greeting] PIKA PIKACHU!
Miss Bustier: Professor? Are you alright?
Professor Oak: [as he tries to get Muk off of him] I'm quite alright, Miss Bustier! This happens most of the time with Ash's Muk!
Marinette: It seems friendly!
Ash: You should've seen what happened when I first encountered Muk with my friends!
Alya: What happened then?
Ash: Well, back then, my friends and I were traveling through Gringey City, which was in the midst of a power failure. The local power plant was being overrun by the mysterious Poison-type Pokémon Grimer. After the swarm was located, the Grimer's leader, a Muk, came and challenged us. However, the vast numbers of Magnemite and Magneton in the city combined attacks to clear out the Grimer, leaving only Muk. With the aid of Pikachu and a Magnemite that was following it due to an electrical build up, I defeated and captured the Muk. It was then immediately sent to Professor Oak's Lab because its stench was so rancid that it could seep through the PokéBall. However, Muk's horrid smell seemed to have disappeared over time and neither I, nor anyone around me, was affected by it.
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Alya: Oh!
Marinette: Wow!
Ash: Yep! And there were times where I used Muk on most occasions! Like back during the Indigo Plateau Conference, during a mystery that happened in the sewers during my travels in the Orange Islands, and then the Silver Conference!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Nino: Wow! That's pretty cool!
Adrien: Agreed!
Chloé: Well, if that were me, anything that would smell rancid, I would either drown it in perfume or send it packing!
Ash: [annoyed] Well, I'm not you, now am I?
Muk: [blows a raspberry at her] [taunting] MUK MUK MUK!
Chloé: Are you taunting me?!
Muk: [silly face] MUK!
Chloé: [growls]
Alya: [raises her hand] Another question please?
Professor Oak: Yes, Miss Césaire?
Alya: Besides Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, what other starter Pokémon are there where you're from?
Professor Oak: I'm glad you asked! There's Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Chikorita from the Johto Region, Torchic, Mudkip, and Treecko from the Hoenn Region, Chimchar, Piplup, and Turtwig from the Sinnoh Region, Tepig, Oshawott, and Snivy from the Unova Region, Fennekin, Froakie and Chespin from the Kalos Region, Litten, Popplio, and Rowlet from the Alola Region, and finally, there's Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey from the Galar Region!
Alya: Wow! And trainers can choose from any of those three in those regions?
Professor Oak: Indeed they can!
Alya: Awesome!
Adrien: Incredible!
Litten: LITTEN!
Professor Oak: Oh! I see you have a Litten already, Mr. Agreste!
Adrien: Yep! It was a gift from Ash for my birthday!
Professor Oak: Really?
Ash: It's true!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Delia: That's my Ash! Always showing kindness towards others! My little boy has grown so much!
Ash: [embarrassed] Mom, please!
Pikachu: [giggles] PIKACHU!
Alya: Well, Ash does have a big heart!
Marinette: No denying that!
Juleka: [nods and smiles] Hm.
That made Ash smile at their kind words!
Ash: Thanks, you guys!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Alix: [raises her hand]
Professor Oak: Yes, young lady?
Alix: Is it true that Ash is always being followed by a trio of bad guys for his Pikachu?
Professor Oak frowned upon hearing that!
Professor Oak: I'm afraid so! They're called Team Rocket and they're always following Ash wherever he goes to take his Pikachu! Though, Jessie, James and Meowth aren't the only ones! He's encountered Cassidy and Butch and the Matori Matrix! Though Ash has also faced many other evil organizations too!
Ash: I sure have!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Alya: Which ones did you face?
Ash: Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Galactic, Team Plasma, Team Flare, Team Skull, you name it!
Delia: Ash was able to defeat every evil organization and he still stands before us today! And I couldn't be more proud!
Everyone applauded from that!
Ash: Thank you, everyone!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKACHU!
Miss Bustier: Thank you, Ash! And thank you, Mrs. Ketchum and Professor Oak!
Professor Oak: It was our pleasure, madame!
Delia: Yes it was! And I want everyone to continuing looking after my son! You all are really great friends for Ash to have and I want you all to help him every step of the way!
Mr. Mime (Mimey): MR. MIME!
Marinette: Rest assured that we will, Mrs. Ketchum!
Alya: Count on it!
Rose: [nods] Mmhmm!
Delia: Alright!
Professor Oak: And with that, we bid you all farewell!
And then, they hung up!
Everyone applauded for Ash!
Miss Bustier: That was amazing, Ash!
Kim: Yeah!
Nino: Way past cool!
Alya: Your mom is really nice!
Marinette: And Professor Oak is nice too!
Rose: So amazing!
Juleka: You're awesome, Ash.
Soon, Marinette and her father were up, as Nino was recording them!
Tom: My day begins at 4 a.m. every morning because the bakery opens at 7. You think that the life of a baker is pretty routine, making the same pastries, rolls, cakes... but actually, it's different everyday. One day someone might order a cake in the shape of the Eiffel Tower, and another day you might-
Outside the classroom, Adrien was attempting to call his father!
Phone: You've reached the voicemail of Gabriel Agreste's office. Please leave a message.
Adrien: Hi father, it's me. It's Parent's Career Day at school, remember? I was hoping that you were gonna show up. Call me back. [hangs up]
Plagg: You okay?
Adrien: Yeah, whatever. Nothing new.
Litten: [sad for his best friend] LITTEN!
[applauding]
Adrien came back into the classroom and sadly took his seat, as Nino placed a comforting hand on his shoulder!
Litten: [licks his face] LITTEN!
Adrien smiled from his partner comforting him and stroked its head!
Ash saw Adrien looking glum and felt sorry for his friend!
Ash: [sad] Poor Adrien. His father couldn't come to career day.
Pikachu: [sad] PIKACHU!
Tom: Marinette will come around and pass out some croissants baked fresh this morning.
Miss Bustier: Thank you, Mr. Dupain. Now, let's meet Alya's mom, who is head chef at the Grand Paris hotel, owned by our mayor, Mr. Bourgeois.
Ash: Wow! That's really impressive, Alya! Mrs. Césaire!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Alya: I know, right!
Marinette looked at Adrien sadly! But then, Chloé opened a case with a bracelet inside.
Sabrina: It's beautiful! [grabs it]
Chloé: [slaps Sabrina's hand] Look, don't touch!
Ash: [mutters] Selfish!
Mr. Bourgeois: Put it away, Chloé! It could get in the wrong hands!
Ash: He's right, you know! I've encountered quite a bunch of jewel thieves every now and then! They'd definitely have eyes for a bracelet like that!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Chloé: Oh, who asked for your opinion, Ketchum!
Ash: [pouts] Only trying to help!
Chloé put her bracelet back anyway, just as Marinette gave Sabrina a croissant, making her smile!
Chloé: I wonder how many croissants your dad would have to sell to buy you one of these? What am I saying? He'd have to sell the whole store!
Marinette: Well, if you're so rich, obviously you don't need free croissants!
Ash: [giggles] Burn!
Pikachu: [giggles] PIKACHU!
Chloé: Ugh, jealous.
Ash: [sarcastic] Yeah, sure!
Marinette: [to Ash as she gives him a croissant] [smiles] Here you go, Ash!
Ash: [smiles] Thanks, Marinette! [takes a bite out of the croissant]
Marinette: [to Pikachu] [gives it a croissant] And one for you, Pikachu!
Pikachu: [happily takes it] PIKACHU!
Marinette: Enjoy!
However, Plagg seemed interested in what was in Chloé's bag!
Plagg: Is that Camembert? [enters Chloé's bag]
But when he looked in the box, it was just Chloé's bracelet!
Plagg: Huh? Oh, that's not Camembert... But it is very shiny. I like shiny, hmm!
Marlena: Unfortunately, I have no dishes to share. But maybe Mr. Bourgeois will invite you all to the hotel and treat you to lunch!
Students applauded and Agent Roger laughed, while the mayor smiled nervously!
Then, everyone heard Ash's stomach growling!
Ash: [embarrassed] Sorry! I guess you had my stomach at 'lunch'!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Juleka: [smiles] [giggles]
Unknown to our heroes, Plagg was playing with Chloé's bracelet!
Plagg: [balancing the bracelet] He he...ohh...Ah! Ah!
Litten: [noticing this] LITTEN?
But then, Chloé's bag fell over, and Plagg and the bracelet rolled out!
Marinette: [trips with the bracelet] Wahh!
Students: [gasp]
Chloé: Geez, is there a day when you're not tripping over something?
Ash: [goes to help her up] You okay, Marinette?
Pikachu: PIKA PI?
Marinette: I'm okay!
As they picked up the croissants, Plagg seemed to have the bracelet stuck around his head!
Miss Bustier: Next on the list is Sabrina's father, a policeman. Officer Roger! [as the students applaud]
Roger: I've been a police officer for 15 years, and I firmly believe that every citizen is innocent until proven guilty.
Ash: [applauds] Well said, Officer Roger! Well said!
Pikachu: [applauds] PIKA PIKA!
Chloé: [gasps] My bracelet! It's gone! I had it a second ago. [looks at Marinette] You! You stole it!
Marinette: What? What are you talking about?!
Chloé: You unpurposedly tripped on my bag so you could steal my bracelet!
Ash: Hey! Marinette did no such thing! She would never steal from anyone!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH RAH!
Chloé: Butt out, Ketchum! No one asked you!
Ash: You're being ridiculous! I saw Marinette fall over and she touched none of your prissy junk!
Chloé: [gasps offendedly] How dare you! [to Roger] You're a policeman! Arrest her!
Tom: My daughter is not a thief and Ash is a witness!
Roger: [blows whistle] Hold on a minute, Miss Bourgeois, we don't accuse without proof, and we have an eyewitness that states she's innocent! Now, everyone, calm down, please. Maybe you simply misplaced your bracelet.
Ash: Yeah!
Chloé: You're calling me a liar?! Daddy!
Mr. Bourgeois: Roger, I demand you search this girl!
Chloé: Ha!
Miss Bustier: Please, everybody!
Mr. Bourgeois: Need I remind you that as mayor of this city, I am your superior!
Roger: But sir, it's against the law! I can't just go-
Mr. Bourgeois: All right. Then you're no longer a police officer!
Roger: Mayor, you can't be serious! Over a missing bracelet?
Mr. Bourgeois: This is my daughter's bracelet we're talking about! You're incompetent and you're fired! Get out!
Roger was upset as he left the building!
Chloé: Good! Let's call Ladybug! I'm sure she'll actually do something!
That made Ash cross!
Ash: [angry] Chloé, Ladybug only responds to emergencies! Not some simple missing bracelet cases that can easily be solved!
Pikachu: [angry] PIKA!
Lucario: [angry] MRAH!
Ash: [angry] And she also responds to the appearance of akumatized villains, which is what Roger will probably turn into because of you and your father!
Pikachu: [angrily agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Chloé: Me?! Cause an akumatization?!
Ash: [angry] That's right! Because as I said before, you would give Hawk Moth many reasons to cause havoc in Paris because your heart is either two sizes too small or it's made of stone!
Lucario: [angry] MRAH MRAH!
Mr. Bourgeois: [angry] How dare you say that about my daughter!
Ash: [angry] And you, Mr. Bourgeois! I don't wanna be disrespectful, but you had to go and fire your best police officer you had! And I'm ashamed of you for that! Besides! We can't change the law!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [nods in agreement] MRAH MRAH!
Chloé: [angry] How dare you say that to my father!
Miss Bustier: Everybody, please!
The room was getting tense as sparks flew from Ash and Chloé's eyes! At Hawk Moth's lair, he sensed Roger's sadness!
Hawk Moth: Parent-child relationships can be so complicated. And the perfect breeding ground for stress. When there's no more law and order, there's only chaos left. [turns a butterfly into an akuma] Fly away, my evil little akuma, and take control of this policeman!
And the akuma flew off into the city! Meanwhile, Roger got into his police car, angrily!
Roger: Hah! He expects me to break the law? That's just, just... criminal!
But then, the akuma flew in and possessed his whistle!
Hawk Moth: Rogercop, I am Hawk Moth. This city needs a true ruthless righter of wrongs, and that is where you come in.
Roger: Yes sir! [turns into Rogercop]
Hawk Moth: Ladybug and Cat Noir must be destroyed if you want to attain ultimate retribution! You will seize Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses for me! Do we have an agreement?
Soon, the transformation was complete, and his car also became upgraded!
Rogercop: Affirmative. Cat Noir and Ladybug will be powerless against me, and justice will prevail in the streets of Paris.
Back in the school...
Tom: Don't even think about getting near my daughter or her bag!
Mr. Bourgeois: Do you know who I am?
Miss Bustier: Please, gentlemen! This is a school here! Think of the children! Surely the bracelet is around here someplace.
Marinette: It probably just rolled out of her bag or something!
Ash: Yeah!
Alya: If I were her bracelet, I'd try and get as far away as possible from that crazy brat too.
Marinette: [laughs]
Ash: [laughs] Good one!
Pikachu: [laughs] PIKACHU!
Marinette: Hey! Nino's been filming everything this whole time! We can see what really happened!
Ash: Yeah! You're right!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Tom: [from phone] Marinette will come around and pass out some croissants baked-
Nino fast-forwarded the video, cutting to the scene where Sabrina had the bracelet!
Marinette: Well, there you have it! Sabrina was holding Chloé's bracelet!
Sabrina: Yes! But I gave it back straight after!
Marinette: Chloé, why don't you take a look in your BFF's bag?
Sabrina: Are you saying I'm a thief?!
Marinette: Nope! Chloé's the one calling people thieves without any proof. I'm simply going from what's on the video.
Sabrina: Grrr!
She then knocked Nathaniel's sketchbook, revealing a drawing of the bracelet!
Chloé and Sabrina: [gasp]
Ash: A drawing?
Nathaniel: [gathers his papers] Yes, I did sketch the bracelet, but I didn't do anything else!
On the streets, Ms. Mendeleiev was walking along and threw a piece of litter on the floor, and Rogercop grabbed the litter. He then flew straight to where Ms. Mendeleiev was!
Ms. Mendeleiev: Huh?
Rogercop: You're under arrest!
Ms. Mendeleiev: What? What for?
Rogercop: You threw litter on a public sidewalk, jaywalked and crossed the red light.
Ms. Mendeleiev: Well, I suppose I did. But you can't arrest me! Who are you anyway? You don't look like a policeman! [walks past him]
Rogercop: [throws cuffs at her] I sentence you to trash duty. [blows his whistle]
Then, she started picking up trash!
Rogercop: Next mission: Seeking justice on Mayor Bourgeois.
Mr. Bourgeois: Give me the tape! I'll have it analyzed by professionals!
Nino: No way! It's my camera!
Mr. Bourgeois: Who do you think you're dealing with? I am the mayor of this city! Where's the school principal? I want to see the principal!
Adrien looked down at Plagg rolling in between of his shoes with the bracelet stuck around his head!
Litten: LIT?!
Adrien grabbed ahold of his Kwami and left the classroom, unnoticed with Plagg having the bracelet stuck on his head!
Plagg: I won't bother you with the story. It's a long, boring-
Adrien: [angry] Oh yes, you will explain it, and fast! You realize we have a big problem, don't you?
Litten: [angry] LITTEN!
Plagg: If by big you are referring to my rock-hard abs? Well, thanks for noticing!
Litten: [growls] LITTEN!
Adrien: [hears some footsteps and sees Rogercop] Now we have a bigger problem!
Fred: [sees Rogercop] Hey! You can't just walk in here!
Rogercop: I can go wherever I want, whenever I want. I am the law.
Fred: Well, I'm the authority around here-
Rogercop: You are guilty of obstructing the path of justice! [fires cuffs at him] I sentence you to move around!
Adrien: [sighs]
Rogercop blew his whistle and caused Fred to run uncontrollably out of the room!
Fred: Wait! I can't control my arm! What are you-
In the locker room...
Adrien: What do you mean I can't transform?
Plagg: If you transform, the bracelet will get absorbed with me and damage your powers!
Litten: [gasps] LIT!
Adrien: Ahhhh...
He just groaned irritated and walked around the locker room!
Hawk Moth: [from his lair] Mwahahahaha! It won't be long before Ladybug, Cat Noir and their little friend show up to meet their doom!
Back in the classroom...
Marinette: See, Chloé? I tripped on the bag, but Sabrina held the bracelet, Nathaniel sketched it, we are all suspects!
Nathaniel: Hey! What's that supposed to mean? I didn't swipe her bracelet!
Marinette: And neither did I! But when it comes down to it, Chloé can accuse anyone and everyone!
Ash: Yeah! That does make sense! More or less!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Lucario: MRAH!
Chloé: Fine! Since you're a suspect, you'll have no problem letting me search your bag!
Marinette: Okay! As long as you also search everyone else's too!
Ash: Yeah- Wait, what?!
Nathaniel: No one's searching my bag!
Tom: Marinette, let the adults handle this.
Marinette: Papa, she called me a thief! I'm just defending myself.
Tom: You're also accusing all of your friends like Chloé's doing to you!
Ash: He kinda has a point, Marinette!
Sabrina: I'm Chloé's BFF! I wouldn't steal from her!
Max: What about Adrien? He was in at least 4 and a half seconds of that video!
Kim: Then we haven't seen him since!
Marinette: Oh, not Adrien! I mean, why would he need to steal a bracelet?
Ash: Yeah! Adrien is innocent!
Marinette: Exactly! If anyone's guilty, it's gotta be one of us.
Ash: Huh?!
Nathaniel: What? Are you accusing us?
Kim: I want an attorney!
Tom: Marinette, stop already!
Sabrina: We should speak to the parents too!
Ash: STOP!
That made everyone stop!
Ash: Listen to yourselves! All of you! This whole thing is getting way out of hand! I mean, it's just a bracelet for crying out loud! And making accusations and finger-pointing won't get us anywhere like this if we're gonna solve this mystery! We need to think it through!
Chloé: Well, maybe you stole it, Ketchum!
Ash: ME?! I would never steal! Not in a lifetime!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH RAH!
Chloé: Typical cover up for some wannabe hero! It's no wonder why your mother wouldn't wanna come in today, knowing her son is a dirty thief! Same goes for that shameful "father"!
When Ash heard that, he was beyond angry! In fact, he was livid, as his face turned red with anger and steam started coming out of his ears!
Ash: [furious] HOW DARE YOU! [tearing up a bit] I DON'T EVEN KNOW MY FATHER!
Marinette placed a comforting hand on his shoulder! So did Juleka!
Juleka: [quietly] It's okay. I'm right here for you.
Ash: [sniffles and wipes the tears]
Marinette glared at Chloé!
Marinette: How can you be so insensitive, Chloé?! Why would you say something like that to Ash?!
Alya: So uncool!
Nino: Yeah!
Chloé: How was I supposed to know?!
Ash: [with tears in his eyes] [angry] That's the problem with you! You don't think! You're cruel, selfish and...and...[growls angrily] [inhales and sighs] [sad] I… I just wanna be alone right now! [steps out of the classroom]
Pikachu: [sad] PIKACHU!
Juleka: [sad] Oh, Ash.
But before he could step out, in came Rogercop!
Rogercop: [enters the classroom] Where is the mayor?
Ash: [gasps] Officer Roger?!
Pikachu: [shocked] PIKA?!
Lucario: [shocked] MRAH?!
Sabrina: Dad?!
Marinette: So that's her dad?!
Miss Bustier: Hello, may I help you?
They didn't notice Ash and Marinette sneaking away!
Rogercop: Where is the mayor?
Miss Bustier: I think he already left, sir!
Rogercop: Are you lying?
Miss Bustier: Yes. I mean, no!
Rogercop: If no one speaks up, I'll put you all under arrest! [to Chloé] Where is your father?
Chloé: I don't know!
That's when they heard him in the principal's office!
Mr. Bourgeois: Mr. Principal, I demand that you find who stole my daughter's bracelet ASAP! Or your job is on the line, sir! ...
Ash: This can't be good!
Marinette: I was only trying to defend myself! My dad and Ash are right. I ended up accusing everyone in the process. Truth is, Tikki, I don't think any of us took it.
Tikki: I'm sure you'll find a way to make it right!
Marinette: Yeah, well, right now, we gotta transform!
However, they noticed Ash still had a sad look on his face!
Tikki: Ash? Are you okay?
Ash: [sad] Honestly, Tikki, I'm not sure if I am!
Tikki: What's wrong?
Marinette: Chloé! That's what! She mentioned Ash's dad so poorly!
Tikki: What?! That's terrible!
Ash: [nods sadly] I know. [holds back a few tears] It's not that easy to talk about!
Tikki: [sad] Oh, Ash!
Then, Tikki hugged up against his cheek!
Ash: Huh? Tikki?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Tikki: It's okay, Ash! Please don't be sad?
She then wiped a tear from his eye with her little hand!
Ash: Thanks, Tikki!
Pikachu: [smiles] PIKACHU!
Tikki: You're welcome, Ash! Now, come on! It's hero time!
Ash: Took the words right out of my mouth! But before Marinette transforms, can you grab one of the Fire Flowers from my backpack?
Tikki flew into his backpack and took out a Fire Flower!
Tikki: Here you go!
Ash: [takes it] Thanks! [glows] Faster than the speediest Extreme Speed! More powerful than all the Pokémon put together! [WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP] It's Fireman Ash!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Tikki: Wow! This is my first time seeing Ash powered up with this so called Fire Flower!
Marinette: True! But now, it's our turn!
[Transformation sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ha!
Then, Marinette transformed into Ladybug! With Adrien, he was still trying to remove the bracelet from Plagg's head, but to no avail!
Plagg: [as they fell down] I thought it was a Camembert box! Anyone can make a mistake!
Litten: [exasperated] LITTEN!
Adrien: You're always thinking with your stomach! Wait... [chuckles] hmm.
Litten: [asking him if he has an idea] LITTEN?
Adrien: I sure do, buddy!
He took out a piece of Camembert and spiced it with pepper!
Adrien: A bit of pepper...
Then, he took Plagg and held him by the bracelet and puts his nose close to the cheese!
Plagg: [sniffs and sneezes] Ah, ah, Ah-CHOO!
The force from the sneeze shot him right out of the bracelet!
Adrien: Gesundheit!
[Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out!
Then, Adrien transformed into Cat Noir! In Mr. Damocles' office, Mr. Bourgeois was demanding Mr. Damocles to find his daughter's bracelet!
Mr. Bourgeois: I'm warning you! If you don't find my daughter's bracelet by this evening, I'll cut off all your city funds for the school. Understood?
Mr. Damocles: But sir, how am I supposed to-
But before he could say anything else, Rogercop barged in!
Mr. Bourgeois: Didn't anyone have teached you to knock before entering?
Rogercop: Justice doesn't need an invitation. Mayor, you're under arrest for abuse of power.
Mr. Bourgeois: [gasps] Look who's talking!
Before Rogercop could fire handcuffs on him, Ladybug appeared and stopped him with her yo-yo, and Ash fired a fireball at him!
Rogercop: Ladybug. Paris has a new righter of wrong. You and your fire friend's services are no longer required.
Ladybug: We can't let you go around accusing everyone of any little wrongdoing!
Fireman Ash: Yeah! We won't allow it either! So surrender now, or taste the beats of Fireman Ash!
Pikachu: [cheeks sparking wildly] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [gets into a fighting stance] [threatening] MRAH RAH!
Rogercop: Fireman? You are not even a proper fireman!
Fireman Ash: True as that may be, but I'm a big fan of dramatic irony! [fires fireballs]
But Rogercop countered by firing lasers!
Fireman Ash: Lucario, Force Palm!
Lucario: [Force Palm move] MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAH!
That pushed Rogercop back!
Rogercop: You're under arrest for attacking the law! [fires lasers]
Fireman Ash: [shoots fireballs]
That cancelled out the lasers!
Fireman Ash: Genius one, bot zero!
Ladybug: Nice one!
He then began to rapidly fire more lasers, as Ash and Ladybug ran for cover! Luckily, he lost sight of them!
Ladybug: [sighs in relief]
Fireman Ash: That was too close!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Ladybug: I'll say!
Fireman Ash: I told Chloé that Roger would get akumatized by Hawk Moth because of her and her father, but she wouldn't listen! [peeks out] If anyone should be arrested, it's Chloé for being a snob and for mentioning my dad so cruelly!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!
Ladybug: We'll worry about that later, Ash!
Fireman Ash: [nods] You're right!
Chloé: Mr. Rogercop, I need your help.
But Rogercop saw that Mr. Bourgeois was escaping and chased after him!
Chloé: Hey! Come back!
Fireman Ash: Uh oh! Trouble!
Ladybug saw Rogercop leaving and caught him with her yo-yo, but he escaped!
Fireman Ash: You okay, Ladybug?
Ladybug: Don't worry! I'm okay!
Rogercop was about to fire handcuffs at Mr. Bourgeois, but Cat Noir leapt in and made him misfire at the car instead, unbeknownst to them that he planted a tracking device on the car as the mayor drove away!
Rogercop: You are disturbing justice, Cat Noir. You are going to pay for this.
Cat Noir: You can add bodily harm to the charges!
Fireman Ash: [pulls out another Fire Flower] Cat Noir, [as he tosses it to him] catch!
Cat Noir: [catches it] Yoink!
[WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP!]
Then, Cat Noir changed from black to orange!
Fire Cat Noir: Whoa! Sweet!
Ladybug: I think he should be called Fire Cat Noir!
Fire Cat Noir: Fire Cat Noir! Now that sounds too hot to handle!
Fireman Ash: Then, show that tin can whatcha got!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Fire Cat Noir: With pleasure! [shoots fireballs]
That did some damage on Rogercop!
Fireman Ash: Yeah! That's showing him!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Fire Cat Noir: Yeah!
Cat Noir tried to get behind Rogercop and whack him with his staff, but he knocked Cat Noir into the trashcan!
[power down sounds]
Cat Noir: Aw, man! They're gone!
Fireman Ash: That's what happens when you take damage from enemies!
Ladybug: Listen! You're Sabrina's dad, and a good cop! Don't let the evil person who gave you these powers make an evil cop out of you!
Fireman Ash: Yeah! We can help you!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
But...
Hawk Moth: Don't listen to that liar! Take their Miraculouses! Their powers belong to me!
Rogercop: Justice must prevail in the streets of Paris!
Rogercop began to fire more lasers at the heroes!
But Ash countered with fireballs!
Fireman Ash: Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!
Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKA...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
The attack made contact with Rogercop!
Rogercop: [electrocuted grunts]
Fireman Ash: That's got'im! Use Electroweb!
Pikachu: [Electroweb move] PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA... CHU PIKA!
That trapped Rogercop!
Fireman Ash: Hook, line and sinker!
But then, Rogercop broke free!
Fireman Ash: What?! Impossible!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Ladybug: Alright! My turn now!
Rogercop fired lasers at Ladybug, but she dodged them! But when she tried to reach Rogercop, he swung her into the school's court!
Ladybug: [screams]
Fireman Ash: [running in her direction] I gotcha! I gotcha! I gotcha! [catches Ladybug in his arms, bridal style] Gotcha!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ladybug: Phew! Thanks, Ash!
Rogercop: The Mayor must pay for getting rid of his best police officer!
Chloé: Mr. Rogercop! I've got a serious problem! Worse than a bad hair day!
Rogercop: Come with me and we'll talk about it!
Chloé: Okay!
Cat Noir: Chloé, no!
But it was too late, Chloé got into Rogercop's car and drove away!
Fireman Ash: [facepalms] Dang it!
Pikachu: [exasperated] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [sighs and shakes its head] MRAH RAH!
Fireman Ash: Now what do we do?!
Ladybug: Go after them! That's what!
Fireman Ash: But how?
Ladybug: [as she grabs Ash] Hold on tight!
Ash: Wait! I got a better idea! Pikachu, grab two of those Super Leaves!
Pikachu: [nods] PIKACHU!
Then, Pikachu dug in Ash's backpack and pulled out two Super Leaves!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Fireman Ash: Thanks, buddy! [takes the Super Leaves] Here, Ladybug! Take this one!
Ladybug: [takes one] Got it!
Then, they powered up!
[Raccoon power up sounds]
Fire Raccoon Ash: Awesome!
Raccoon Ladybug: Whoa! This is freaky!
Fire Raccoon Ash: Don't worry! You're still you!
Raccoon Ladybug: Except the fact that I have raccoon ears and a tail!
Fire Raccoon Ash: They'll wear off! Let's move! [flies]
Raccoon Ladybug: Well, if you say so! [swings her yo-yo, but Ash catches it] Huh?
Fire Raccoon Ash: Ah ah ah! While powered up with a Super Leaf, you can fly! Go on! Try it!
When she jumped, she was flying!
Raccoon Ladybug: Whoa! I'm flying! [stumbles a bit] WA-WAH!
Fire Raccoon Ash: [helps straighten her out] Don't worry! I got you!
Raccoon Ladybug: Thanks! I think this is gonna take some practice!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Fire Raccoon Ash: You want me to hold your hand so you can get the hang of it?
Raccoon Ladybug: Don't worry! I think I can manage! We have to get going! Quickly!
Fire Raccoon Ash: You're right! C'mon! Let's fly!
And they took to the skies!
["Who's That Pokémon?" time]
[as a magnifying glass shows orange and black fur with Pikachu standing by a PokéBall]
Ash and Marinette: Who's that Pokémon?
[as the Pokémon reveals to be a Growlithe]
Pikachu: PIKA?
Growlithe: GROWLITHE!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
[End]
Rogercop was driving his car, but then he heard a thud on the roof! It was Cat Noir! This made him set his car to aerial mode! Unlucky for Cat Noir, cats can't fly, but he managed to hold on, just as a familiar ladybug patterned yo-yo latched onto the back!
Raccoon Ladybug: I bet you missed me.
Fire Raccoon Ash: And me!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Cat Noir: Whoa! When did you go raccoon, m'lady?
Raccoon Ladybug: Courtesy of ours truly!
Fire Raccoon Ash: Me!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Cat Noir: You are just full of surprises aren't'cha?
Fire Raccoon Ash: Among other things!
But then, the car started to spin, causing them to gasp!
Ash: [eyes spinning] Whoa! I'm getting dizzy!
Pikachu: [eyes spinning] PIKACHU!
Chloé: So! I know that Marinette girl is the one who stole my bracelet. She must be arrested! And Ash is clearly a suspect too!
But Rogercop wasn't listening! He hit the brakes, causing Cat Noir to nearly fall off! Luckily, Ladybug grabbed him by the leg with her yo-yo!
Fire Raccoon Ash: That was close!
Cat Noir: Too close!
While Ladybug was helping her partner back up, Rogercop activated the Auto Pilot!
Computer: Auto Pilot engaged.
Chloé: Hello? Are you listening to me?
Then, he climbed out to face our heroes!
Cat Noir: Thanks for the lasso, lassie.
Fire Raccoon Ash: [notices who's onboard] GUH! Trouble!
Pikachu: [threatening] PIKA!
Chloé: Hey! Where are you going? Who's going to drive this car?
Cat Noir: Did I ever thank you for the lift?
Fire Raccoon Ash: Let's give him the tail, Ladybug!
Pikachu: [cheeks sparking wildly] PIKACHU!
Raccoon Ladybug: Right behind ya!
All three heroes began to fight Rogercop! And Fire Raccoon Ash and Raccoon Ladybug were attacking with their tails!
Fire Raccoon Ash: Take that!
Raccoon Ladybug: And that!
Fire Raccoon Ash: Pikachu, Iron Tail!
Pikachu: [jumps up] PIKA! [Iron Tail move] CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...PIKA!
Rogercop: [grunts]
The heroes continued to fight Rogercop, but he kept dodging their attacks! Then, Rogercop pounded the car, making it spin, as Ladybug, Cat Noir and Ash tried not to fall!
Fire Raccoon Ash: Yikes! [runs in place]
Pikachu: [running in place] PI! PI! PIKACHU!
Fire Raccoon Ash: This isn't gonna end well!
Cat Noir: [to Ladybug] Where'd you get those shoes? I could use a pair like that!
But then, they got hit from running into Rogercop's arms making Ash and Ladybug lose their power up powers!
[power down]
And then, Ladybug and Ash started to fall!
Ladybug: Grab on to me! [tosses her yo-yo]
But her yo-yo missed, and Ladybug and Ash started to fall!
Cat Noir: No! Ladybug! Ash!
Ladybug and Ash: [screaming]
Pikachu: [screaming] PIKA!
Cat Noir: [to Rogercop] What have you done?!
Hawk Moth: Snatch his Miraculous! His ring!
But before he could, Cat Noir threw his staff inside the exhaust pipe, using his legs!
Then...
[BANG!]
That caused a small explosion that fired away the staff and made Rogercop lose his grip on Cat Noir, who then started to fall!
Cat Noir: [tries to grab his staff] Ugh! Unn, uh... nice day for a swim! [grabs his staff]
He was about to fall, and he whimpered, but then he was saved by Ladybug with her yo-yo and hangout from a lamppost!
Cat Noir: Well, hey. I'm head over heels to see you, my lady. [tries to kiss her]
Raccoon Ash: [smacks him with his tail]
Cat Noir: Ow!
Ladybug made him fall!
Ladybug: You're welcome. You owe me one. [holds out her hand to help Cat Noir up]
Cat Noir: Sure thing. But I'll take the credit for that.
Smoke was coming out of Rogercop's car!
Raccoon Ash: If my hunch is correct, he's probably gonna go after the mayor!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Cat Noir: Then, that's where we'll go!
Meanwhile, in Rogercop's car...
Computer: Mayor's limousine. Located.
Rogercop flew to where the Mayor was!
Ladybug: There's no point running after him anyway. He's way out of our reach now.
Cat Noir: Well, if it's the mayor he wants...
Ladybug: He'll be heading straight for the City Hall.
Cat Noir: Do I sense a plan?
Raccoon Ash: I think so!
Ladybug: And you guessed right! Huddle up! [as they huddled] [whispers the plan]
Meanwhile, Rogercop arrived at the City Hall!
Rogercop: Let's go!
He then started to use a laser to break the door open!
Mr. Bourgeois: Call up all available police forces, ASAP! That's an order!
Civilians: Ahh!
Then, Rogercop's car flew in!
Rogercop: Bourgeois, I'm taking over. Relinquish your powers.
Mr. Bourgeois: Never!
But then, Rogercop fired handcuffs on him!
Mr. Bourgeois: These handcuffs won't change my mind.
Rogercop: Then maybe this will. [blows his whistle]
Then, Chloé emerged from the car wearing handcuffs too!
Chloé: Hey!
Mr. Bourgeois: Don't you dare put a finger on my little girl!
Rogercop: So much for your powers! Ha! Ha ha ha ha! Ha!
Later...
Mr. Bourgeois: [from screen] Paris has a new superpower. His name is Rogercop. I hereby relinquish all authority to Rogercop. All citizens are ordered to answer at him.
Then, just as Ash, Ladybug and Cat Noir came in...
Rogercop: Ladybug, Cat Noir and Ash are now outlaws. They must be hunted out and taken into custody immediately.
Raccoon Ash: Say what now?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Then, they police force turned to our heroes!
Raccoon Ash: Uh oh!
The police tried to catch our heroes!
Raccoon Ash: Sorry, fellas! You can't catch me if I can fly!
Then, he took to the skies!
Raccoon Ash: [blows a raspberry]
Pikachu: [blows a raspberry] PRRIIII!
Ladybug and Cat Noir were dodging the cops!
Officer: Let's go get 'em!
Raccoon Ash: Let's get outta here!
Pikachu: PIKA!
And they did just that! Later that night, city hall was swarming with guards!
Cat Noir: So now, we're the nation's most wanted felons?
Ladybug: And we haven't done anything!
Raccoon Ash: Yeah!
Cat Noir: Exactly! You can't accuse someone without proof! We should go and defend ourselves in the Court of Law!
Ladybug: Not while Rogercop's the Chief of Justice.
Raccoon Ash: Too true! What'll we do?
Ladybug: Don't worry! We'll think of something!
Cat Noir: [sighs] How many times have we saved Paris?
Ladybug: [gets an idea] We're still saving Paris.
Raccoon Ash: But how? There's a whole swarm of flopper coppers surrounding city hall!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Ladybug: You'll see! Huddle up and listen to this! [as they huddled up] [whispers plan]
Raccoon Ash: That's a plan! [takes out a PokéBall] [tosses it] Gengar, I choose you!
Gengar: [appearing] GENGAR!
Raccoon Ash: Gengar, how would you like to have some fun?
Pikachu: PIKA!
Gengar: GEN? [snickers] GEN.
Raccoon Ash: Awesome! [to Cat Noir] Cat Noir, Gengar will assist you!
Cat Noir: Okay!
He then turned to Gengar with a smirk!
Cat Noir: Let's have some fun, Gengar!
Gengar: [grins] GENGAR!
Soon...
The officers kept their eyes on a look out for our heroes, but then Cat Noir came down on his staff and started to do a little dance!
Cat Noir: Something about Paris just makes you wanna dance.
Rogercop: You won't be dancing after I'm through with you. Arrest him!
The officers charged at Cat Noir!
Cat Noir: Does that mean you won't be joining me? [dodges the officers] Perhaps you'd be better off dancing with my dance partner!
Gengar: [appearing from Cat Noir's shadow] GENGAR!
Officer #1: Ghost!
Officer #2: GHOST!
Officer #3: [holding up a piece of...] Toast!
Cat Noir: [blinks] Uh...
Hawk Moth: [growls] It's that boy's meddlesome ghost! Rogercop, shoot him down!
Rogercop: Affirmative. Arrest that poltergeist!
But when the officers charged at Gengar...
Gengar: [dodges by floating] GEN!
Officers: Huh?!
Gengar: [making a face] GEN!
Cat Noir: Gengar, why don't you make them join the fun with your Psychic!
Gengar: [grins and nods] GEN GEN! [Psychic move] GENGAR!
Gengar's Psychic then made the officers dance!
Officer #1: H-Hey! What's going on?!
Officer #2: I can't stop dancing!
Officer #3: Make it stop!
Gengar: [laughing] GENGAR!
Cat Noir: Now that's what I call manipulative dancing!
Meanwhile, Ash and Ladybug had snuck into the mayor's office, hoping not to get caught by Rogercop! But then, Chloé noticed them!
Ladybug: [quietly] Shh...
Chloé: [whispering loudly] Go, Ladybug, go!
Raccoon Ash: [whispers] Shush!
But it was too late! Rogercop heard them, as Ladybug gave Chloé an exasperated look!
Raccoon Ash: Uh oh!
Rogercop: Ladybug, raccoon man, it is time for justice to prevail.
Then, Rogercop started to fire lasers at them!
Raccoon Ash: [dodges by flying as Ladybug dodges] Well, your version of justice is totally different from ours! Pikachu, Iron Tail!
Pikachu: [Iron Tail move] CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...PIKA!
Rogercop: [grunts]
Ladybug: You got justice and revenge all mixed up, Rogercop!
Raccoon Ash: And we should know that revenge isn't the answer!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Ladybug: [tosses her yo-yo into the air] Lucky Charm!
And the Lucky Charm was an oven mitt!
Ladybug: Oven mitts? What am I supposed to do with this?
Raccoon Ash: Keep your hands warm?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Ladybug: I highly doubt that, Ash!
Raccoon Ash: Well, I got nothing else!
Then, Rogercop started firing lasers!
Luckily, Ash and Ladybug were able to dodge, as they hid behind a table!
Hawk Moth: Fabulous... so wretchedly fabulous!
Raccoon Ash: Think of something, Ladybug!
Ladybug: I'm thinking! I'm thinking!
Back outside, Cat Noir and Gengar had defeated all the officers and thrown them into a pile!
Cat Noir: Okay, show's over. Sorry, no encore tonight.
Gengar: GENGAR!
Cat Noir: Thanks for the assist, Gengar! They never stood a ghost of a chance!
Gengar: GENGAR GEN!
Cat Noir and Gengar then entered the City Hall!
Back inside, Rogercop was still firing lasers at Ash and Ladybug as they used the table as a shield!
Raccoon Ash: Oh, where's Cat Noir when you need him?!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Then, Cat Noir and Gengar entered the office, as Ash and Ladybug jumped beside them!
Raccoon Ash: What kept you, kitty cat?
Pikachu: PIKA!
Cat Noir: I was too indulged in busting some moves!
Gengar: GEN GEN!
Raccoon Ash: There's a time and a place for everything! And now is not the time!
Rogercop: [blows whistle] Get Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Ash!
That made Chloé and the mayor attack our heroes!
Raccoon Ash: Hey! Whose side are you on?!
André: It's not our fault!
Luckily, Ladybug managed to shove them out the door!
Chloé: Hey! My hair!
Raccoon Ash: That takes care of them!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Raccoon Ash: Now to take down the general!
Rogercop began to fire more lasers! But they dodged!
Raccoon Ash: Pikachu, use Electroweb!
Pikachu: [Electroweb move] PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA... CHU PIKA!
That trapped Rogercop!
Raccoon Ash: The catch of the day! One akumatized whopper!
Pikachu: PIKA!
But then, Rogercop broke free!
Raccoon Ash: Oh, come on!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ladybug: Seriously?!
Raccoon Ash: We just wanna free you from Hawk Moth's control! Is that too much to ask?!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Rogercop: No electric nets can trap the arms of the law! [fires lasers]
But they dodged!
Hawk Moth: Stop shooting like an idiot, Rogercop! You're supposed to seize their Miraculouses!
Ladybug: The akuma must be in his whistle. We've gotta get to it!
Cat Noir: How?
Raccoon Ash: Yeah! How?
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Then, Ladybug began observing her surroundings!
Rogercop found them and began shooting lasers again, as they hid for cover!
Cat Noir: When you're ready, my lady.
Ladybug uses her thinking vision, and Rogercop's arms, a mitt and a belt light up, she grabbed the belt that was hanging on a coat.
Ladybug: Okay, I have an idea, but I still need something like... a ring.
Raccoon Ash: But where are we gonna get a ring?
But then, Rogercop punched a hole in the wall!
Raccoon Ash: YIKES!
Pikachu: [shocked] PIKA!
Raccoon Ash: [prays while talking gibberish] [speaks] Amen!
Our heroes evaded Rogercop's attacks while Ladybug grabbed the other oven mitt and hid!
Ladybug: Where am I gonna get a ring from?
Raccoon Ash: It's not like a ring will appear out of thin air!
Pikachu: PIKA PI!
Unbeknownst to them, Cat Noir took out Chloé's bracelet and rolled it over to a vase!
Cat Noir: Ladybug, over there!
Ladybug: That's Chloé's bracelet! Exactly what I need.
Raccoon Ash: Perfect!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Raccoon Ash: Let's cuff him! And Cat Noir, we're gonna need some help! Some cataclysmic help!
Cat Noir: Got you covered, buddy!
Ladybug then brought the bracelet over with her yo-yo!
Ladybug: Fend off Rogercop as long as you can.
Cat Noir: Whenever you're ready. Cataclysm!
Then, his hand glowed a bubbly, black energy!
He then slid across the floor and used his Cataclysm to destroy it, as Rogercop fell beneath, not before cuffing Cat Noir!
Raccoon Ash: Oh no, Cat Noir! You've been cuffed!
Cat Noir: Don't worry, buddy! We got him!
And he was right!
Rogercop: [trying to get unstuck] [grunts]
Then...
Ladybug attached the two mitts to the belt, but Rogercop started to fire lasers at her again! Lady used the mitts to cover Rogercop's hands and tie them together, as his visor went awry!
Ladybug: [takes his whistle] I gotcha!
Rogercop: Noooooo!
Ladybug: If you would, Ash?
Raccoon Ash: Don't mind if I do! [as he breaks the whistle] Foot stomp!
The akuma flew out of the whistle!
Ladybug: [opens her yo-yo] No more evil-doing for you, little akuma! [swings her go-to around] Time to de-evilize! [catches the akuma] Gotcha! [releases it as a purified butterfly] Bye bye, little butterfly! [tosses her lucky charm into the air] Miraculous Ladybug!
The magical ladybugs turned everything back to normal and the citizens under the arrest of Rogercop were freed! And Rogercop turned back into Roger!
Roger: Uhh... what am I doing up here?
Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Raccoon Ash: [fist bump] Pound it!
Pikachu: [joining in] PIKACHU!
Cat Noir: As Rogercop would say, [talking like a robot] "Justice has prevailed in the streets of Paris!"
Raccoon Ash: And the justice was served by us!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Ladybug: Got that right!
Suddenly, Cat Noir's Miraculous began to beep!
Cat Noir: [talks with his regular voice] I'd stick around, but then you'd see me without my mask and... you wouldn't be able to resist me.
Ladybug: Hehe... I doubt that, but I'll have to take your word for it.
Raccoon Ash: Yeah! Best make like a drummer and beat feet!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Then, Cat Noir made a dash for the exit! That's when Ladybug saw Chloé's bracelet on the floor!
Ladybug: [smirks] [chuckles] [puts the bracelet back in Chloé's bag]
Raccoon Ash: She'll be in for a big surprise!
Pikachu: [giggles] PIKA PIKACHU!
At Hawk Moth's lair…
Hawk Moth: You may have eluded me this time, Ladybug, but one of these days, I'll be ruling the world! And you and Cat Noir won't be a part of it! And neither will that boy!
Then, the window in his lair closed! A little later...
Roger: [gives Chloé her bag] I think this belongs to you, miss.
Chloé: My bag! [sees her bracelet] My bracelet! But... how?
Mr. Bourgeois: Roger! You found the bracelet?
Roger: Actually it turns out it was in Chloé's bag all along! Must've fallen into a side pocket when that girl tripped over it.
Ladybug: [laughs]
Raccoon Ash: [smiles cheekily] Told you Marinette was innocent!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Chloé: Right.
Ladybug: And I believe you owe [points to Ash] someone else an apology!
Chloé: What are you talking about?
Raccoon Ash: I believe you know what we're talking about! That insult about my father and how you accused me of something I didn't do?! It really hurt me with your cruelty and insensitivity!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!
Raccoon Ash: So, I want an apology!
Chloé: Fine! Since this is what Ladybug suggests, I apologize!
Raccoon Ash: Good! And uh, do you think we could still be friends and not frenemies?
Chloé: Well, no. But I will take it into consideration! But no promised guarantees!
Raccoon Ash: Okay! Good enough for me!
The mayor looked at this and smiled!
Mr. Bourgeois: Well, Roger, I do apologize for being so accusatory, and firing you for no good reason.
Raccoon Ash: [smiles] And I'm sure everyone learned a valuable lesson! People are innocent until proven guilty!
Ladybug: I think Officer Roger has proven his excellence to you, Mr. Mayor. You'd be wrong not to keep him on.
Mr. Bourgeois: Of course, Ladybug! You're absolutely right. And actually, it's Lieutenant Roger now.
Roger: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'm proud to be on the force, and I vow to uphold my firm belief that every citizen is innocent until proven guilty.
Raccoon Ash: Well said, Officer... Uh, I mean, Lieutenant Roger, sir!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Roger: Thank you, Mr. Ketchum!
But then, Ladybug's earrings started to beep, as she and Ash started to leave!
Mr. Bourgeois: Very good. A valuable lesson learned. [to his daughter, as she was wearing her bracelet] [sternly] Right, Chloé?
Chloé: Ugh! Yes, daddy.
Ladybug: Lesson learned!
Raccoon Ash: [chuckles] I couldn't agree more! Ladybug, thanks for getting Chloé to apologize to me about my dad! That really meant a lot!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ladybug: No problem, Ash! [wraps an arm around his shoulder] That's what friends are for!
But then she gained a sad look since her best friend didn't really know his father!
Ladybug: But I'm sorry you don't know about your dad!
Raccoon Ash: [smiles] It's okay! All I know is he's out there somewhere and watching over me! And I know he must be proud of me!
Ladybug: Yeah! [wraps an arm around his shoulder] Come on, [as they started walking out] why don't I get you an ice cream, bestie!
Raccoon Ash: [smiles, as his eyes sparkle] Awesome!
Then, Ladybug swung away on her yo-yo and Ash glided after her, and Sabrina happily hugged her now proud of a police lieutenant father!
Narrator: And so, once again, Ash, Ladybug and Cat Noir save the day again! Although, one must know, who really is Ash's father? As the journey 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!
