*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!*
Narrator: [as the scene changes to the school] Ah, another beautiful day in Paris! Why you may ask? Because today is Valentine's Day! And love is in the air! And right now, our heroes are still in class!
Miss Bustier: In most fairy tales, the prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess. Can anyone tell us why?
Rose: [stands up, swoons] Because only love can conquer hate!
Miss Bustier: Correct, Rose.
Ash: [raises his hand]
Miss Bustier: Ash?
Ash: But love can do more than just conquer hate! Love can also bring friends and families closer together and can show others that you care about them! [as he pets Pikachu on the head] It works both ways for people and Pokémon! And well, ever since I came to Paris, you've all been so nice to me! Especially you, Miss Bustier! Well, almost all of you. [side-eyed at Chloé] Not that I won't name any names. But my point is, I think of you guys as more than just my friends! You guys are like another family to me! Even if we all aren't really related!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!
Everyone, minus Chloé: Aww!
Miss Bustier: Why, that's sweet of you to say, Ash!
Rose: Agreed!
Ash: Aw, thanks, guys!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Lucario: MRAH MRAH!
Juleka was especially happy as a blush overtook her face! However, Adrien seemed to be writing something, which didn't go unnoticed by Ash and Marinette!
Max: Technically speaking, this reasoning is only exhibited in about 87% of all fairy tales and-
Miss Bustier: Thank you, Max. That's enough.
But then, she saw Adrien writing!
Miss Bustier: Adrien, I hope what you're writing has to do with my lesson.
Marinette: [gasps]
Miss Bustier: [approaches Adrien] Can you tell me what I just said?
Adrien: That's why in most fairy tales, the prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess because only love conquers hate.
Ash: Wow!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Miss Bustier: Very good, Adrien! Now, everyone, don't forget to finish Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault tonight, and happy Valentine's Day, students!
Little did Ash know, that Juleka had wrote something down for Ash for Valentine's Day and was planning on giving it to him!
Marinette: [to Alya] Hey, go ahead, I'll meet you outside.
Alya: Mhm.
Ash: Huh? Marinette, what are you doing?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Marinette: Nothing! Just going to see what Adrien was writing!
Marinette continued to look over Adrien's shoulder, but then Adrien crumpled up the letter and tossed it into the garbage can and started to leave!
Ash: Huh?
Then, Marinette went over to the trash can with a cheeky grin on her face!
Chloé: Hi Adrien, [as Sabrina held out a poster] sign here please.
Adrien: [sighs] Oh, come on, you know I hate signing autographs, Chloé.
Chloé: Oh, that's not what this is. This is a petition against cruelty to hamsters. Have you seen some of the ugly sweaters they are forced to wear? It's appalling.
Litten: LITTEN?
Adrien begrudgingly signed the poster, much to Chloé's happiness!
Chloé: Ah ah! You too, Litten!
Litten: [hisses]
Adrien: Easy, little guy! It shouldn't take that long!
Litten: [obeys his trainer's command] LITTEN!
Then, Litten let out one of its claws, dipped it in some ink, and wrote its name, much to Adrien's surprise! Then, underneath its name, it wrote this: "I don't like you!"
Chloé: [blinks in surprise]
Adrien: Wow! Guess I've got a lot more things to learn about you! Huh, Litten?
Litten: [proud] LITTEN!
Chloé hugged the poster and Sabrina smiled before they noticed Marinette who was digging through the trash can as she pulled Adrien's crumpled up note!
Chloé: [mockingly] Well well, Marinette, looking for something to eat?
Sabrina: Maybe she's looking for some better clothes!
Chloé and Sabrina: [laugh]
Ash: [annoyed] Well maybe you two should mind your own business and tell jokes that aren't weak and lame!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!
Lucario: [telling them to buzz off] MRAH MRAH!
Chloé: Hmph!
Then, they ran off!
Marinette: Ughhh!
Tikki: Don't give them the time of day, they don't deserve it.
Marinette: You're right, Tikki.
Ash: Agreed!
Gengar: [scares Chloé and Sabrina] GENGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
Chloé and Sabrina: AH!
Gengar: [laughs] GENGAR!
Chloé: [angry] GENGAR! How many times do I have to tell you to stop jumping out at me like that?! You nearly gave me a heart attack!
Gengar: GEN? [saying "But it's fun!"] GENGAR GEN! [laughs] GENGAR! [saying "You need to lighten up!] GEN GEN GENGAR! [disappears through a wall]
Chloé: Ugh!
Ash: [chuckles]
Pikachu: [chuckles] PIKACHU!
Marinette: [giggles] Ash, your Gengar is so mischievous!
Ash: [giggles] Yep! It loves to pull pranks!
Tikki: [laughs] It's funny! [makes a face at Gengar] [babbles]
Gengar: [makes a silly face] GENGAR!
Ash: [chuckles] Anyways, Marinette, why were you digging around in the trash can?
Marinette: [shows the note] For this! [begins to read the letter] "Your hair is dark as night, your pretty bluebell eyes, I wonder who you are beneath that strong disguise. Every day we see each other, and I hope that you'll be mine, together our love could be so true, please, will you be my Valentine?"
Tikki: Whoa, now that's a love poem.
Ash: I'll say!
Pikachu: PIKA PI!
Marinette: Who could he be talking about? Hair as dark as night, bluebell eyes?
Tikki: Uh... you?
Marinette: [laughs nervously] Me? No way. There are plenty of girls at school with dark hair and blue eyes.
Ash: Well, none like yours!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Tikki: He's got a point! And bluebell eyes...
Marinette: What do you think he means by "strong disguise"?
Tikki: [sighs] This is poetry. He means who you are deep down inside. He wants to get to know you Marinette! He's talking about you!
Ash: Yeah! He's talking about you!
Marinette: [laughs and jumps up and down excitedly] Pinch me!
Gengar: [shrugs] GEN? [pinches her arm] GEN!
Marinette continued to laugh until she shrieked!
Marinette: Not literally!
Gengar: [laughs] GEN!
Ash: [laughs]
Pikachu: [laughs] PIKACHU!
Tikki: [giggles]
Marinette: [rubbing her arm] [pouts] Hmm...
Then, just as Ash was about to leave the classroom, something hit him in the head!
[DOINK!]
Ash: Oh! What hit me?
He looked down and saw a paper airplane!
Ash: A paper airplane?
He unfolded it, revealing a message!
Ash: What's this?
Marinette: Let me see!
Pikachu: PIKA?
Tikki: What's it say?
Ash: It says, [reads] "Wanna play a game to figure out your one true love? Well, here's your chance! In this game, you must find three things to give to your true love, then you have to figure out who it is! Ready to play? Then, here's your first clue to where the first item is: I am where a meal is cooked with lots of tables and I am a place to eat food! What am I?"
Pikachu: PIKA?
Marinette: Well, that's a very silly riddle!
Tikki: But what could it mean?
Ash: I don't know! But this place sounds familiar! And I think I know what it is! I'll see you later, Marinette! [rushes off]
Marinette: Okay! [giggles] All according to plan!
Tikki: What are you talking about, Marinette?
Marinette: You'll see, Tikki! It's time Ash and Juleka finally get together!
Tikki: I don't know how you're doing it, but I trust you!
[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 10: Dark Cupid!
Back at school, Marinette was leaving with Alya with Adrien's love letter in toe, but Max and Kim seemed to be up to something!
Max: Operation Valentine's Day is commencing. According to my extensive research and cross-referencing of online shopping sites, this particular jewel, [reveals a heart box hiding behind his back] was ranked highest in popularity. [hands the box to Kim]
Kim: [laughs] That's perfect, Max! I better hit a home run with this one. Love is like baseball, right? You gotta have a strategy or you'll strike out.
Alya spotted Max and Kim's conversation and got excited! She grabbed Marinette and dragged her over to the boys!
Kim: But if you aim right, you'll hit it out of the ballpark. Score!
Max: Oh yes Kim, lovely metaphor.
Kim: [eyeing the gem inside the box] Meta-who?
Alya: [grabs Kim's hands and looks at the jewel] Ooh! Sparkly! Is that for moi?
Max: [annoyed] Negative Alya. The recipient of this gem has already been determined, it's-
But then...
Kim: [grabs Max and cuts him off] Shh! Keep it on the down-low!
Alya: [excited] Scoop! Kim's got a major crush! [takes picture with phone] Who's the lucky lady?
Marinette: [pushes Alya's arm down] It's gorgeous Kim. She's gonna be ecstatic!
Alya: [giggles]
Kim: [rubs the back of head uncomfortably] Technically, she's still gotta accept it. [grabs Max] What if she says "no"!?
Marinette: [as Alya looks around worriedly] She won't Kim, no way! [pumps fist] Don't hold back, Kim. Go for it, no regrets!
Kim: Operation Valentine's Day is underway! [high-five's Max] [notices someone's missing] Hey, where's Ash?
Marinette: Oh, we have our own Operation Valentine's Day going ourselves! In the form of a scavenger hunt!
Alya: Yep! Ash and Juleka are finally gonna get together!
Kim: Really? Awesome! I honestly didn't know Juleka had a thing for Ash!
Max: Me neither!
Marinette: Well, we're having him figure things out with this scavenger hunt!
Alya: We've left clues and perfect Valentine's Day presents with them to help him figure things out! And the last clue will lead him to Marinette's place where Juleka will be waiting for Ash to guess his soulmate!
Kim: Epic! Now, if you'll excuse us, I have a date with destiny!
Then, he began jogging in place, and he appeared to be holding a map!
Max: Her route is highlighted here in yellow, yours in red. If you run at ten miles per hour, you're going to gain a four-and-a-half-minute advance on her. Halt and wait here facing northwest - the third most romantic spot in Paris. [as Marinette and Alya thumbs up behind Max] Go go go!
Kim: Thanks, you guys. [runs away]
Alya: [elbows Marinette] I know someone who's good at dishing out advice who can't take some herself. [points]
Turns out she was pointing to Adrien, who was entering his car with Litten!
Adrien: Let's go.
And with that, he left!
Marinette: You're right. It's time I told him.
Alya: Say what?!
Marinette: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna tell Adrien my true feelings. Well... I'm gonna write them on a card, that is.
Alya: [looks shocked then laughs] Yeah!
Marinette: Yeah! [as she and her fist bump]
Alya and Marinette: Operation Valentine's Day!
They did a handshake and ran off!
Meanwhile, with Chloé, some of the female students seemed to be ogling over a poster of Adrien!
Girls, except for Aurore: He's so cute!
Chloé: Keep dreaming all you want girls, but the boy is mine.
Sabrina nodded before unrolling the poster, causing the girls to gasp.
Aurore: To Chloé, the most awesome girl in the world and the love of my life. Signed, Adrien.
All the girls, except for Aurore, began to cry! However, Chloé noticed one of the girls wasn't crying!
Chloé: Uh, she's not crying enough.
Sabrina brought the poster towards the one girl who wasn't crying causing her to cry even more as Chloé and Sabrina laughed! However, Chloé noticed Aurore wasn't crying or fixated on Adrien!
Chloé: And how come you aren't crying or fixated on Adrien?
Aurore: Sorry, Chloé. [smiles dreamingly] But I have eyes for someone much more dazzling and cuter!
Chloé: Well, no one is much more cuter than Adrien!
Aurore: That's what you think, not me! [smiles dreamingly] [blushes] That someone is that handsome boy, Ash Ketchum!
Chloé: What?!
Sabrina: [gasps]
Aurore: It's true! [sighs dreamingly] He's dreamy!
Chloé: Some girls! [as she walks away] They have no taste!
Meanwhile, with Ash and Pikachu...
Ash: [enters the cafeteria] The cafeteria! Now, let's find one of the presents!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
They spreaded out and looked for one of the presents! And Pikachu found it under a table! And it was a purple rose taped to a box of chocolates! And taped next to the rose was the next clue!
Pikachu: [nods affirmatively] PIKA PIKACHU!
Ash: [as Pikachu pulls it out] Good eye, buddy! [takes off the paper containing the next clue] Here's the next clue! [reads] "Well done! You found the first present! Here's your next clue as to where your next present is! I am room where you learn things that involve atoms and chemicals and elements and other things referring to a subject in school! What am I?"
Pikachu: PIKA?
Ash: Hmmm. Atoms, chemicals and elements. [figures it out] Of course! The science room!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Ash: Come on!
Then, they set off for the Science Room! Back at Marinette's, she was attempting to write Adrien a love letter!
Marinette: Dear Adrien, dear Adrien... Dear Adrien... [sighs] I'm no good at this love letter writing thing... I sound like a total dorkasaurus!
Tikki: Only when you say words like "dorkasaurus"! Relax, Marinette, I'm teasing. Think of Adrien and speak from the heart.
Marinette: [sees Adrien's letter, gasps] Adrien's letter! That's it! Why didn't I think of that before? I'll answer his poem!
Alya: Marinette!
Marinette: [gasps]
Alya: [enters the room, with a pink heart-shaped card] Check it out!
Marinette: It's perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
She then wrote the love letter as Alya watched on with a smie!
Marinette: Voila!
Alya: Don't forget to sign it!
But a ladybug flew inside the room, distracting Marinette!
Alya: This is a good omen! Ladybugs are good luck, especially in the love department!
Marinette: Really?
Alya: Yeah you of all people should know about ladybugs.
Marinette: R-really? Wh-why do you say that?
Alya: Since ancient times the ladybug has been a symbol of love, guiding hearts on the path to devotion. It was on my blog this week. You read it didn't you?
Marinette: Oh yeah, yeah, of course. [turns back towards her computer and sighs]
Turns out she didn't know that at all! Then, they heard a knock at the front door!
Marinette: Oh! That must be the girls!
Alya: I'll get the door!
And she did just that!
Then, Alya returned with Alix, Rose, Mylène and Juleka!
Marinette: Hey, girls! Glad you could make it!
Alix: Yeah! And we left the three presents for Juleka all over the school!
Rose: Ooh! This is going to so exciting! [to Juleka] Today, Juleka, you're going to be Ash's soulmate!
Juleka smiled excitedly with a blush on her face!
Marinette: Alright, girls! Time for us to play cupids for Juleka and Ash!
Girls: Yeah!
At the Agreste Mansion, Adrien was trying to express his feelings for Ladybug! He even had her on his computer!
Plagg: So she's got eyes, arms, legs, big deal! How can you possibly be in love with Ladybug? You don't even know who she really is!
Adrien: [sighs] You don't know anything about love...
Plagg: Oh sure I do, I love Cheddar, I love Swiss and I love Camembert.
Litten: [sighs] LITTEN!
Adrien stood up, causing his chair to spin as he heads for the window, resting his arm and head against it in distress.
Plagg: [mockingly] Aww, the poor boy's frustrated because he can't finish the poem for his masked sweetheart?
Littlen: [growls] LITTEN!
Adrien: I don't need a poem when I can tell her to her face... I love you.
Litten: LITTEN!
Plagg: Bleh, gross. You're making me lose my appetite. [eats the Camembert] Almost.
Litten: [rolls its eyes] LITTEN!
Back with the girls…
Marinette: Okay! Everything is all set!
Alya: Awesome!
Marinette: Now, all we have to do is wait for Ash to get here!
Alix: Speaking of Ash, I wonder how he's doing?
With Ash and Pikachu, they were in the science room!
Ash: Okay! We need to find the next present and the next clue!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
They began searching until Pikachu found it under a stool! And it was a teddy bear! And with it was a small box!
Pikachu: PIKA PI! PIKACHU!
Ash: You found the next present, buddy?
Pikachu: [nods] PIKACHU!
Ash: [as Pikachu hands it to Ash] Good eye, buddy! A teddy bear and a box? [opens it, revealing a ring and a folded up piece of paper] Wow! A ring! And the next clue! [takes the paper and unfolds it] [reads] "You're halfway done now! Just one more gift! Here's your next riddle to give you a lift: I am a room where you see a person that is in charge of the entire school! What am I?"
Pikachu: PIKA?
Ash: Wait! I know! It's the principal's office! [gasps] Mr. Damocles! Come on, buddy! [heads off]
Pikachu: [runs after him] PIKACHU!
Meanwhile, with Kim, he was waiting on the bridge, waiting for his crush to come, but then he heard her voice!
Chloé: [on her phone] And that's right, in a 24-karat gold frame. Deliver it to Le Grand Paris Hotel and bill it to Daddykins, uh, I mean, Mr. Bourgeois.
Then, she noticed Kim in front of her!
Chloé: [hangs up] What are you doing here?
Kim: [nervously] I-I...
Chloé: [mockingly] You-You...
Kim [clears throat and kneels down in a puddle of water] Will you be my Valentine? [presents a brooch to Chloé]
A passing bike splashed water in Kim's face, and a chip bag blowing in the wind stuck right to him!
Chloé: [gasps] Don't move!
And move he didn't! Chloé took a humiliating photo of Kim and then hit the send button!
Chloé: Wait till everyone gets a load of this! Hahahaha! No offense, Kim, but my heart's saved for someone more awesome than you.
She began to walk off before turning back.
Chloé: Don't you just hate how harsh love can be?
Kim was upset and embarrassed! He was rejected and humiliated! At Hawk Moth's lair, the said villain sensed Kim's negative emotions as the window opened!
Hawk Moth: Ah, Valentine's Day, the day of love and the day of fools. So many delusions, so much disappointment. My evil akumas, you are going to have such a field day.
Then, a butterfly lands on his hand and he turned it into an akuma!
Hawk Moth: Fly away my little akuma, and evilize him!
And the akuma flew off into the city! Soon, the evil butterfly found a sobbing Kim and entered his brooch for Chloé!
Hawk Moth: Dark Cupid, I am Hawk Moth. I can give you the power to shoot your arrows, pierce love and impale friendship. But there is something you must do for me in return.
Kim: No love affair or friendship will escape my fury. No one will ever love again!
Then, he began to transform! He then took to the skies, courtesy of his new wings, and began shooting arrows at people who were in love! Then, they started showing hatred and full of uncaring!
Civilian: [smashes a bouquet of flowers into a wall] Ugh, stupid flowers!
Civilian: [pulls hand away from woman who he is with] Get off me!
Dark Cupid: Hahahahahaha!
Hawk Moth: Hahaha! Perfect. It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir show up to meet their doom! [evil laughing]
Meanwhile, with Ash and Pikachu, they were at the principal's office!
Ash: [knocks on the door]
Mr. Damocles: Come in!
Ash: [enters] Hello, Mr. Damocles, sir! Excuse my intrusion, but you wouldn't happen to have the last Valentine's Day present to give to my soulmate, would you?
Mr. Damocles: Why, as a matter of fact, I do! [lifts up a pet crate] Here it is!
And what was inside the pet crate was...
[puppy whimpering and yipping]
Ash: [gasps]
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Ash: A puppy?!
Mr. Damocles: Yes! [reveals the last clue] And here's your last clue! Would you like me to read it to you?
Ash: Yes please! [picks the puppy up] Hey, little guy!
Pikachu: [greeting] PIKA PIKA!
Puppy: [licks Ash's face]
Ash: [laughs] Aww!
Mr. Damocles: [clears his throat] [reads] "You're almost done! I am very aware! Solve this last riddle and you will find your soulmate waiting there! I am a place that sells lots of baked goods for all people to enjoy! What am I?"
Ash: [gasps] The bakery! Of course!
Pikachu: PIKA!
But before he could head off...
Ash's Rotom Phone: [alarm sounding] Akuma Alert! Akuma Alert!
Ash: [gasps] An akuma alert!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ash: [pulls out his Rotom Phone] Rotom, identify the akumatized villain and who he really is!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Rotom Phone: Dark Cupid! He has the power to fire arrows that will cause anyone to hate! Real name: Lê Chiến Kim!
Ash: Kim?! Oh no! That can't be good! Time to spring into action! [puts the puppy back in the crate]
Then, he grabbed his presents and ran off! Back at the bakery, Marinette and Alya enter, laughing, and Tom gave them candy apples.
Tom: Candy apples, girls?
Marinette: [takes the candy apples] Thanks, Papa. [kisses his cheek]
Then, the girls headed for the park! Just as Ash was rushing and dropping off his presents!
Ash: Sorry, Mr. Dupain! Leaving my things here! Akuma emergency!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Tom: Alright, Ash! But be careful!
Puppy: [sticks its head out of the box] [yips playfully]
Ash: No no, little guy! You stay here! It's too dangerous!
Tom: I'll make sure this little guy stays safe!
Ash: Thank you! Let's go, Pikachu!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Meanwhile, Marinette and Alya were at the Place des Vosges.
Alya: Come on, Marinette! Do it before you chicken out!
Marinette was a little scared at first, but finally, she put the love letter in the mailbox!
Alya: Yeah!
Marinette: I did it!
The girls hugged each other, just when their phones rang, and they see Chloé has texted them!
Alya: Chloé? Since when did she start texting us?
When they opened their phones, they saw the humiliating photo of Kim, causing them both to gasp!
Alya: What a witch!
Marinette: And I was the one who told Kim to do it! I didn't know he was talking about her!
Alya: Dang, I hope Adrien doesn't do the same thing to you. I mean...
That made Marinette nervous! Then, she panicked and tried to get her love letter out of the mailbox!
Marinette: What have I done!?
Alya: Girl, calm down! I was totally joking! Kind of... Adrien would never do that.
Ash: [runs over to them] GIRLS! [panting] [out of breath]
Marinette: Ash?
Alya: There you are! Have you completed the scavenger hunt?!
Ash: [panting] Akuma Alert! Kim! Akumatized! Dark Cupid! Adorable little puppy!
Marinette: Whoa! Ash! Slow down!
Alya: [sees Dark Cupid in the sky] What in the world is that?! [points up at him]
Ash: Dark Cupid!
Dark Cupid: Huh?
The anti-cupid villain saw the candy apples Alya was holding, making him mad!
Dark Cupid: All hearts must be destroyed!
He shot one of his arrows at the love apples, and one of them hit Alya, making her lips black!
Marinette: Alya?
Ash: Uh oh!
Alya stuck the candy apples on Marinette's shirt!
Marinette: Hey, seriously?!
Ash: This is the effects of Dark Cupid's arrows! Anyone struck by those arrows will fill people with hate and uncaring!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Marinette: What?!
Alya: You're not my BFF, you're a joke! Adrien's gonna laugh his head off at your lame attempt at poetry! Alya: And you, Ash! You don't stand a chance with Juleka! She doesn't want some dense, little kid!
She then ran off, cackling!
Marinette: Alya!
Ash: [in his head] That's the second person that called me a little kid besides Iris! [speaks] [to Dark Cupid] You shot your last Dark Arrow, Dark Cupid! Pikachu, Thunderbolt 'im!
Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
But Dark Cupid dodged it!
Dark Cupid: [laughs] Too slow, little rat!
Pikachu: [growls] [cheeks sparking threateningly] PIKACHU!
Marinette: [looks at Dark Cupid's brooch] I've seen that jewel somewhere before. It's Kim's pin! He's been akumatized!
Ash: That's what I said!
Marinette: [pulls the candy apples off of her shirt] This is... not... good! We gotta find him, fast! [as she and Ash run to a bench]
Ash: It's hero time! Also, what was the puppy all about?
Marinette: I'll explain later!
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ha!
And Marinette transformed into Ladybug!
Ash: Time to put a new plate to good use!
He then took out the Pixie Plate!
Ash: Huh. Never used this one before! Let's try it out! Pixie Plate, [places it on his chest] activate!
Then, his clothes gained a pink color scheme!
Ash: Whoa! Nice.
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ladybug: Well, pink probably isn't your color, but I won't object!
Ash: Thanks! Let's move!
Ladybug: Right!
["Who's That Pokémon?" time]
[as a magnifying glass shows something pink with Pikachu standing by a PokéBall]
Ash and Marinette: Who's that Pokémon?
[as the Pokémon reveals to be a Luvdisc]
Pikachu: PIKA?
Luvdisc: LUVDISC!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
[End]
Ladybug was jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and Ash was flying on Dragonite!
Ash: [observing the situation with all the people showing hatred and uncaring] Sheesh! Where's a cupid when you need one!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ladybug: We'll worry about that later, Ash! We gotta find Dark Cupid!
Ash: [spots him flying] [gasps] No need! I found him!
Ladybug: Where is he?
Then, she saw him flying too!
Ladybug: Found 'im!
Ash: Let's get 'im!
The two heroes followed Dark Cupid! Outside Le Grand Paris, Chloé seemed to be complaining to the deliverers about her portrait of Adrien!
Chloé: Ugh! I never said 18-karat gold! Those gold tones will never match my 24-karat toilet! Idiots!
Then, Dark Cupid spotted Chloé and fired an arrow at her! But, Ladybug made the arrow hit the van instead, making him miss!
Chloé: [gasps]
Dark Cupid: Ladybug!
Ladybug: Stop, Kim!
Ash: Or get ready for a fight!
Pikachu: [cheeks sparking wildly] PIKACHU!
Dark Cupid: I'm not Kim, I'm Dark Cupid! I'll never stop! If I can't have love, then no one can!
Ladybug: Okay, Dark Cupid, I get it. Chloé totally burned you. But that doesn't mean you have to take it out on all of Paris!
Dark Cupid: Oh yes, I do! I won't stop until everyone's heart is crushed. Say adios to your loved ones. From now on, you'll hate them!
Ash: Pikachu, Thunderbolt!
Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKA...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
The Thunderbolt destroyed the arrows being shot!
Dark Cupid: [growls] Dodge this, pinky! [fires an arrow at Ash]
Ash: [hit] Ugh!
Ladybug: Ash, no!
Pikachu: [worried] PIKA PI!
Hawk Moth: Not quite what I had in mind, but you perfected it nonetheless! [laughs evilly]
Dark Cupid: How does it feel to hate, twinkle toes?!
Ash: [smiles confidently] Nice try!
Dark Cupid: WHA?!
Ladybug: HUH?!
Hawk Moth: WHAT?!
Dark Cupid: How?! How didn't my arrows affect you?!
Ash: Jokes on you! I'm immune to your dark arrows with these powers!
Ladybug: [gasps] Of course! The Pixie Plate made you immune to dark magic!
Ash: Bingo!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Ash: And now, to clip your wings!
Dark Cupid attempted to fire another arrow at Ladybug, but she blocked it with her yo-yo!
Ash: Pikachu, shoot 'im down with Thunderbolt!
Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] PIKA...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
But, he managed to dodge!
Dark Cupid: Missed me, sucker!
Ash: Try to dodge an Electroweb! Pikachu, go!
Pikachu: [jumps up] PIKA! [Electroweb move] PIKA...PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA...CHU-PIKA!
That managed to trap Dark Cupid making him fall to the ground!
Dark Cupid: Guh! You dirty little...
Ash: Gotcha!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Ladybug: Nice going, Ash!
Ash: Thanks!
But then, Dark Cupid broke free!
Ash: What?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Ladybug: Come on!
Dark Cupid: No net's gonna keep me down!
Dark Cupid continued to fire arrows at Ladybug, but she kept dodging!
Ash: What'll we do now, Ladybug?
Ladybug: We'll think of something! Don't worry!
Suddenly, she fell, but she caught herself on a roof gutter with her yo-yo!
Ash: Ladybug! You okay?
Pikachu: PIKACHU?
Ladybug: I'm okay! Just help me up, quick!
Ash: [nods] Hm!
Dark Cupid had lost sight of our heroes!
Hawk Moth: If you want to continue destroying love, bring me Ladybug's Miraculous, or I'll remove your powers!
Then, Dark Cupid went to find them! Back with Ladybug and Ash...
Ash: [pulling on Ladybug's yo-yo to hoist her up] [grunting]
Cat Noir: Falling for me already, my lady?
Cat Noir had arrived!
Ash: Cat Noir! Think you could give me a hand here?!
Cat Noir: Can do, buddy! [pulls Ladybug and Ash down next to him] I need to talk to you.
Ladybug: It's going to have to wait. Dark Cupi-
Cat Noir: [hushes her] I swore to myself that I'd tell you as soon as I saw you. Ladybug, I-I... [sees Dark Cupid] Look out!
Cat Noir spun around to shield Ladybug, but he ended being struck by one of Dark Cupid's arrows!
Ladybug: [gasps] Cat Noir!
Ash: Oh no!
Pikachu: [worried] PIKACHU!
Cat Noir: [his lips turn black] Ladybug, I—I... loathe you!
Ash: Wuh oh!
Ladybug: Cat Noir, snap out of it!
Cat Noir: [squeezes Ladybug incredibly close to him] You're nothing Ladybug, and nothing to me! I hate you!
Ash: This is bad! Cat Noir, stop it! We're friends!
Pikachu: PI PIKACHU!
Cat Noir: Friends?! With you?! You're nothing but a joke!
Ladybug then stomped on Cat Noir's foot!
Cat Noir: YEOW!
She then used Cat Noir's staff to launch herself and Ash into the air before grappling her yo-yo onto a streetlamp and rolling into Le Grand Paris!
Ash: Phew! That was close! I coulda sworn he almost feasted on us like mice!
Pikachu: [nervous] PIKACHU!
Ash: Figure of speech, buddy!
Pikachu: [sighs in relief] PIKA PI…
Chloé: Ladybug, it's about time, where have you been?
Ash: Trying to deal with an anti-cupid and nice cat that went rogue! Why?! What've you been doing?!
Chloé: Hiding so I don't get hurt, obviously!
She then noticed him in pink!
Chloé: And why are you pink? So not your color!
Ash: That's because of the Pixie Plate! Thanks to this, Dark Cupid's arrows won't work on me!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Chloé: Oh. Well then, [hides behind Ash] you be my human shield!
Ash: Oh no! [as he lifts Chloé over his head and places her away from him] I ain't shielding no snob that caused this mess in the first place!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ash: For now, you're safe inside!
Back outside, Cat Noir was still holding on to his staff before he retracted it and put his tool behind his back. As he climbed up the wall, he met face to face with Dark Cupid.
Hawk Moth: [to Dark Cupid] Offer to help him in return for Ladybug's Miraculous.
Dark Cupid: [to Cat Noir] I can help you crush Ladybug, but you must give me her Miraculous in return. [holds his hand out to Cat Noir]
Cat Noir: No...problem.
Cat Noir let out a cackle as the anti-cupid villain helped him up!
Hawk Moth: Yes. Yes! And once I have Ladybug's Miraculous, taking Cat Noir's will be child's play!
Back at Le Grand Paris...
Ladybug: You gotta get out of here. Your friend Kim's turned into Dark Cupid, and I don't know what he'll do if he finds you here.
Ash: Although, I don't think Dark Cupid's arrows will even pierce her heart! She hates everything and everyone!
Chloé: Hey! That is not true! There are many things I love!
Ash: Oh really? Your hatred is what made Kim an anti-cupid!
Chloé: Moi? But how could he possibly have a vendetta against me?
Ladybug: [aside] Who doesn't?
Chloé: [wraps an arm around her] Duh! It's because of this.
Ash: Because of what?
Chloé: [turns his head] Look!
They were looking at the portrait of Adrien in a golden frame that was outside!
Ash: Whoa! What's the frame made out of?! Gold?!
Chloé: Obviously! Everyone would love to get their hands on it. That's Adrien, a super-hot guy in my class. And rich, too! He's hot for me of course.
Ladybug: [under her breath] Not according to the poem.
Chloé: But for some weird reason, little miss weather girl didn't seem to care at all.
Ash: You mean Aurore? Yeah! She's got a crush on me like Juleka does!
Chloé: I pretty much figured that out!
Ladybug: Wait! When did she get a crush on you?
Ash: Well, you see-
Sabrina: [pointing at the poster of Adrien] It's alive!
Ash: Alive?
The poster began to seemingly walk into the Hotel and from behind it emerged Dark Cupid!
Ash: Dark Cupid!
Pikachu: [cheeks sparking wildly] PIKACHU!
He began to fire his arrows at Ladybug, Sabrina and Chloé, but Ladybug deflected the arrows with her yo-yo!
Ash: Get outta here, you two!
Chloé: How?!
Ladybug then grabbed Chloé with her yo-yo and dragged her onto the street!
Chloé: Daddy!
Ladybug: Run, Chloé, run!
Chloé and Sabrina then made a run for it!
Ash: C'mon, Ladybug! Let's clip that anti-cupid's wings!
Pikachu: [cheeks sparking wildly] PIKACHU!
Ladybug: Right!
But then, Cat Noir dropped down from above and stood in front of Ladybug and Ash!
Cat Noir: Well, well, Ladybug.
Ladybug: I don't want to fight you, Cat Noir.
Cat Noir: Ugh, that friendliness. It's so revolting. You are definitely not my friend!
Ash: Friendships aren't revolting! You may be a bad kitty now, Cat Noir! But you'll always be our friend! Now and forever! Let us at least show you that we care about you!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!
But Cat Noir didn't listen!
Ash: Cat Noir, please!
Cat Noir: I loathe all of you!
Cat Noir leapt into the air and swung his staff directly at Ladybug, but she dodged it and jumped up onto the roof to run away, as Cat Noir pursued her!
Ash: Oh no you don't! [tosses PokéBall] Infernape, stop that rogue cat!
Infernape: [appearing] INFERNAPE!
And Infernape leaped into action!
Cat Noir: [chuckles] [smirks]
Infernape: [shocked] INFERNAPE?!
Cat Noir: Here, Banana Breath! [grabs Infernape by the arm] [round tosses it] Have a spin!
Infernape: [tossed aside] NAPE!
Ash: [hit by Infernape] WAH!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ash: You okay, Infernape?
Infernape: [nods] INFER!
Ash: Then, let's use Flare Blitz!
Infernape: [Flare Blitz move] INFER...NAPE!
Cat Noir: [hit] GUH!
Ash: I'm sorry, Cat Noir! You left me with no choice!
Cat Noir: I'll make you pay for that!
Before he could attack Ash with his staff, Ladybug used her yo-yo to grab Cat Noir's staff and pull him towards her!
Ladybug: Why are you so full of hate, Cat Noir?!
Cat Noir: Because hate conquers all!
Ladybug: I hate to burst your bubble, but hate doesn't conquer all. Love does!
Ash: And the power of friendship and a caring heart!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Then, Ladybug remembered what Miss Bustier and Rose said earlier about love!
Miss Bustier (in flashback): The prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess.
Rose (in flashback): Only love can conquer hate!
Cat Noir: You're just buying time! Fight!
Ladybug: I'll do better than that.
Cat Noir: Huh?
Ladybug: Come on, kitty kitty, just a peck... [tries to kiss him]
Ash: Ooh! Something tells me Ladybug has an idea!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
However, she missed!
Ladybug: Almost!
Cat Noir: [yells] Get back, you savage!
Ash: Hmmmm. [snaps his fingers] Infernape, let's hold him down! You grab the left arm, I'll grab the right! Pikachu, you grab his legs!
But it was too late! Cat Noir began to run away from them!
Ash: Ladybug, you follow Cat Noir! We'll cut him off from behind and head 'im off at the pass!
Ladybug: Head him off at the pass? What does that mean?
Ash: I have no idea!
Ladybug began to chase after Cat Noir so she could kiss him!
Ladybug: Here, kitty kitty kitty! Come here!
Meanwhile, with Dark Cupid...
Dark Cupid: [laughing] You can't outrun me, Chloé!
The said girl was trying to outrun Dark Cupid, but she tripped over a flower stand and fell near several civilians!
Chloé: Help!
Civilians: [screaming and running away]
Dark Cupid: Happy Valentine's Day, Chloé. Now you'll get what you deserve.
Chloé: My hair! There is nothing worse in this world than a bad hair day! First, Ladybug wrinkles my new jacket, second, you totally ruined my hair! Just go ahead and just change me already! This day can't get any worse...
Dark Cupid: I don't need to waste this arrow on you. Your heart is so dark and shriveled, there's no room for love. [laughs while flying away]
Chloé: Ugh! How dare you talk to me like that? [bumps into Sabrina] Huh? Why are you just standing there? Help me up!
But Sabrina didn't help her up! Her lips were black, meaning she was infected!
Sabrina: Ha! You think I'd help someone as stuck up as you? [takes an embarrassing picture of Chloé with her cellphone] Wait till everyone gets a load of this! [cackles while running away]
Chloé: Ughhh...
Meanwhile, Ash was heading to where Cat Noir was going! Luckily, he took a shortcut and made it before him!
Ash: Surprise, cat!
Cat Noir: Huh?!
Then, Ash grabbed his right arm and Infernape grabbed the left and Pikachu wrapped around his legs by clinging to its tail!
Cat Noir: Let me go!
Ash: I don't think so! [ties him to a lamppost with a rope] That'll hold ya!
Cat Noir: Where'd you even get a rope?!
Ash: I've been had one in my backpack! Oh, and don't try pulling your hands out to do a Cataclysm! [pulls out a tube of glue] I glued your hands together to keep you from using your power! Now, just sit back and let Dr. Ladybug do her thing!
Then, Ladybug came in!
Ladybug: Wow! You caught Cat Noir before me? Good job!
Ash: Thanks!
Ladybug then suspended herself from the top of the lamppost and leaned in closer to Cat Noir so she could kiss him while she was hanging upside down.
Cat Noir: No, no!
Ladybug: Don't worry, I'm not looking forward to it either.
Ash: I'm waitin'!
Then, she tried to kiss him, but Cat Noir kept dodging!
Ash: I'll fix this problem! [goes behind Cat Noir and holds his head in place] All yours, Ladybug!
Pikachu: PIKA PI!
Ladybug: Thank you! I can't believe I'm doing this.
Then, she went in for a kiss!
Ash: [gasps] [smiles] This is gonna be good!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA!
But then, an arrow was fired!
Ash: What the...?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Infernape: INFERN?!
Turns out, it was Dark Cupid! Luckily, Ladybug dodged his arrows, but Cat Noir was able to get free with one cutting the rope! And he got his hands unstuck!
Ash: Hey! No fair!
Pikachu: [cheeks sparking] PIKACHU!
Cat Noir: How you gonna fight both of us now, bug eyes? [as he and Dark Cupid fist bump each other]
Ash: Shows what you know! There's two of us! Let's see you both can get out of an Electroweb! Pikachu, go!
Pikachu: [Electroweb move] PIKA...PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA...CHU-PIKA!
That trapped the both of them!
Ash: Gotcha!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
But then, Cat Noir slashed the Electroweb freeing them!
Ash: What?! But how?!
Pikachu: PIKA?!
Cat Noir: You can't hold us down that easily! Cataclysm!
His claw glowed a black energy!
Cat Noir: I've often wondered what would happen if I use my Cataclysm on someone.
Ash: [gulps] And I don't wanna find out!
Pikachu: [nervous] PIKA!
Ladybug: You won't ever have to! [tosses her yo-yo into the air] Lucky Charm!
And the Lucky Charm of the day was a candy apple!
Ladybug: A candy apple? What am I supposed to do with this?
Ash: Simple! Eat it!
Ladybug: Are there times when you don't think of your stomach?
Ash: Not really!
Ladybug: [rolls her eyes] Think, Ladybug...
She looked around and she spotted the fountain, Cat Noir's ring and Dark Cupid's brooch!
Ladybug: Hey!
Ash: You have a plan?
Ladybug: I do! Follow my lead!
Ash and Ladybug then came out of their hiding spot!
Ladybug: [swinging her yo-yo] I've got a Valentine's gift for you!
Ash: And it's a very spiffy present too!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!
Then, Dark Cupid started to fire his arrows!
Ash: Haha! [fires a sphere of light]
Dark Cupid: [hit] GAH!
Ash: Whoa! I guess I can create blasts of light too!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Infernape: INFERNAPE!
Ladybug: Nice!
Cat Noir was coming in at Ladybug with his Cataclysm!
Ash: Look out, Ladybug!
Luckily, she ducked and dodged, and then she grabbed him by the belt!
Ash: That's showing him, Ladybug!
Pikachu: PIKACHU PIKA!
Ladybug: Thanks!
She then jumped up and threw the candy apple at Dark Cupid's head!
Ladybug: Looks like you got yourself in a sticky situation!
Ash: Ha! "Sticky" situation! Good one!
Pikachu: [giggling] PIKACHU!
Ladybug: [smiles]
Dark Cupid was able to get the candy apple off his head and shake it off his hand, but when he tried to fire an arrow, his hand was stuck to the bow!
Dark Cupid: [yells angrily] Ladybug!
Ash: Looks like your bow is really attached! [laughs]
Pikachu: [laughing] PIKACHU!
Ladybug: [giggles] Good one!
Infernape: [chuckles] INFERNAPE!
Ladybug: And now, for the pussycat!
Ash: Yeah!
Cat Noir: [yells]
The rogue cat hero charged at Ladybug and started to chase her, until he landed on top of her!
Ash: Ladybug!
Pikachu: [worried] PIKACHU!
Dark Cupid: Cat Noir, her Miraculous!
Cat Noir: With pleasure!
Dark Cupid started to rinse his hands off in the fountain!
Ash: [growls] Infernape, take care of Dark Cupid while I help Ladybug!
Infernape: NAPE?!
Ash: I'll be alright! Just trust me!
Infernape: [complying] FERNAPE! [charges at Dark Cupid] INFERNAPE!
Cat Noir: Finally, I'll find out who you are, Ladybug! Your little secret will be out of the bag!
Ash: Oh no you don't, Cat! [tackles Cat Noir] HA!
Cat Noir: WAF!
Ash: Nobody's taking off any mask on my watch!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Cat Noir: I'll make you pay for that, runt!
Ash: [growls angrily] Why does everyone keep calling me a runt?!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Ladybug: Get off him, kitty! It's me you want!
Ladybug then tackled Cat Noir to the ground, but he was on top of her!
Ash: Ladybug, now!
Then, she kissed Cat Noir on the lips!
Ash: [gasps happy]
Pikachu: [awed] PIKA!
Ash: [pulls out his Rotom Phone and takes a picture] [snickers]
Pikachu: PIKA?
Ash: Shhhhhh!
Soon, the spell was broken!
Cat Noir: Huh? [gasps] What am I doing here?
Ash: Alright! It worked!
Pikachu: [happy] PIKA PIKACHU!
Ash: Good to have you as a good kitty again, Cat Noir!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Cat Noir: Umm... Thanks? To be honest, buddy, I'm not exactly sure what's going on.
Infernape: [skidding backwards] FERNAPE! [charges in] [Mach Punch move] IN...FERNAPE!
Dark Cupid: [hit] UGH! Is that all you got, you baboon?!
Infernape: [Flamethrower move] IN...FERNAPE!
Dark Cupid: HOT HOT HOT!
Then, he went into the fountain to put out the fire on his wings!
Dark Cupid: [sighs in relief]
Cat Noir: How long was Infernape fighting him?
Ladybug grabbed his hand and carried him over her!
Ladybug: No time! The quiver pin, Cat Noir! Now! [throws Cat Noir]
Ash: Grab it!
Cat Noir screamed and landed on top of Dark Cupid and Infernape!
Infernape: [hit] NAPE!
Ladybug: Oops! Sorry, Infernape!
Ash: Grab the pin, Cat Noir! And toss it over to me!
Ladybug: Grab it! Grab the pin!
Cat Noir then used his Cataclysm to destroy Dark Cupid's sash!
Dark Cupid: No!
Cat Noir: [snatches his pin] Sorry, need that. Happy Valentine's Day!
Ash: Toss it to me, Cat Noir!
Cat Noir: [tosses it to Ash] Coming your way, buddy!
Ladybug: Awww, you shouldn't have...
Ash: [drops it] Oops!
Ladybug: [stomps on the pin]
Then, the akuma flew out!
Ladybug: [opens her yo-yo] No more evil-doing for you, little akuma! [swings her yo-yo around] Time to de-evilize! [catches the akuma and purifies it] Gotcha! [opens her yo-yo, releasing the butterfly] Bye bye, little butterfly! [tosses her lucky charm in the air] Miraculous Ladybug!
The magical ladybugs repaired the damage and all the hate from the citizens was gone!
Alya: [about to cut a picture of her and Marinette in half] What the heck am I doing?
With Sabrina, she was drawing on the picture of Adrien! But that didn't last long as the magical ladybugs cured her, and Chloé entered the lobby!
Chloé: What the heck are you doing?!
The portrait of Adrien was ruined!
Sabrina: I have no idea!
Chloé and Sabrina: [both sob in despair]
Back with the heroes, Dark Cupid had turned back into Kim!
Kim: Huh?
Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Ash: [fist bump] Pound it!
Pikachu: [joins in] PIKA!
Infernape: [joins in] INFERNAPE!
Ladybug: [as her Miraculous beeps] Oops!
Ash: Time to go!
Cat Noir: Wait, Ladybug! I gotta tell you something.
Ladybug: Look, the kiss... I had to break the spell, or...
Cat Noir: Kiss? What kiss?
Ash: You probably don't remember because you were a rogue pussycat!
Cat Noir: No, I just wanted to say...
Cat Noir's ring started to flash!
Ladybug: Look out, Cat Noir, your ring is flashing!
Cat Noir: Uhh... yours too!
Ladybug: [laughs] We're about to turn into pumpkins, and personally, I'd rather not see that.
Ash: Neither would I! Oh, that reminds me! I gotta get back to the bakery! [dashes off] [as his legs ran in a 360° rotation] I got a game to finish to find my soulmate!
Cat Noir: Um, what's he talking about?
Ladybug: I'll explain later! Bug out! [swings away on her yo-yo]
Back at Hawk Moth's lair...
Hawk Moth: Grrr... blasted Ladybug! Blasted Valentine's Day!
Then, the window in his lair closed! At the Place des Vosges, the postman arrived to collect the mail. But when he opened the mailbox, it was full of letters, and some of them fell out!
Tikki: Hey, there's your chance to get your card back!
Marinette: That was before...
Tikki: Before what? Tell me!
Marinette: I realized that even with all this hate everywhere, love still wins. But if I wanna win over Adrien, he needs to know the truth about how I feel.
Tikki: Ah! This is a big day!
Then, they noticed Ash rushing by and heading to the bakery!
Tikki: There's Ash!
Marinette: Oh right! The game! Come on, Tikki! [as they run through the back door] We gotta get to my room before Ash does!
Soon…
Ash: I'm back, Mr. Dupain! Sorry it took so long! The little pooch didn't you any trouble, did he?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Tom: No trouble at all! All I had to do was show him who's in charge and he was well behaved! [as he takes the puppy and placed him back in the box] By the way, if you're looking for Marinette, she's in her room with her friends!
Ash: Awesome! Thanks!
Then, he went upstairs!
In Marinette's room...
Marinette: Okay! Everything set?
Alya: All set!
Rose: Ooh! This is going to be so romantic!
Marinette: And the player should be arriving right about... Now!
[knock knock knock!]
Marinette: Come in!
Ash: [coming in through the floor door] Hey, Marinette! And... Girls? What are you doing here?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Alya: Oh nothing! Just here to welcome you to your final challenge!
Ash: [excitedly gasps] Really?! Yes!
But then...
Ash: [drops the smile] Wait! You mean you guys set up this little scavenger hunt for me?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Alya: Well, it was my idea! But yes we did! Now, ready to play your final challenge?
Ash: You bet I am!
Alya: Okay! Behind this curtain is your special someone! But to figure out who it is, you must solve this "Who am I?" riddle! Rose!
Rose: [clears her throat] [reads] "I am someone you know that dons the colors black and purple and whenever I look at you with my ruby red eyes, my heart races like a racehorse! Who am I?
Ash: [gasps] Juleka!
Alya: And you are correct! Open the curtain!
The curtain opened, and there stood Juleka with a shy look on her face, as well as a blush!
Ash: Juleka! [goes over and hugs her] Oh, Juleka! I know you love me! And well, I love you too!
Pikachu: PIKA PIKACHU!
But instead of saying anything, Juleka kissed Ash passionately on the lips, much to Ash's surprise, but he returned it with passion equal to hers!
Marinette: [gasps]
Alya: Wow!
Rose: EEEE!
Alix: Atta girl!
Mylène: Aww!
Pikachu: [awed] PIKA PIKA…
Lucario: [shocked] MRAH?!
Then, they released!
Ash: Wow! That was wonderful!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Juleka: Yeah.
Ash: Oh! Right! Your presents!
Then, Ash gave Juleka her gifts!
Ash: Juleka, these are all for my new girlfriend! I love you!
Juleka: [smiles] I love you too, Ash.
Ash: [smiles] [places the purple rose in her hair] There! Perfect!
Juleka: Thanks.
Ash: Oh yeah! There's one more present for you! [takes the puppy out of the crate]
Puppy: [barks]
Juleka: [gasps] A puppy?!
Ash: [nods] Yep! [smiles] And I think he's yours now!
Juleka: [takes the puppy as it licks her face] [giggles]
Puppy: [yips playfully]
Ash: What are ya gonna call him?
Pikachu: PIKA?
Juleka: I don't know.
She thought about it for a minute, then she smiled!
Juleka: Cole. I'll call him Cole.
Ash: That's a good name!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Cole the Puppy: [yips playfully]
Rose: Aww! He likes it!
Alya: I'd say so!
Lucario came over to Cole!
Cole the Puppy: [licks his face]
Lucario: MRAH?
Cole the Puppy: [barks playfully]
Lucario: [smiles] MRAH!
Rose: Aww! That's so sweet!
Ash: Whaddya say we take Cole for a walk and get some ice cream, babe?
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Juleka: Okay!
Then, Ash held out his arm and smiled! But Juleka hugged his arm! Soon, they left, holding hands!
Marinette: Mission accomplished!
Alya: For sure!
Rose: Those two are made for each other!
Alix: I know right!
Alya: By the way, Marinette! About that card for Adrien?
Marinette: I've decided to leave it! I should tell him how I feel!
Alya: Atta girl! I knew you signed it!
However, her eyes widened when she realized she didn't sign it! With Adrien, his Kwami was teasing him about how he fought Ladybug while under control of the hate spell!
Plagg: Hahaha! Can you believe all the horrible thoughtless things you said to Ladybug? [eats his Camembert]
Litten: [angry] [saying "shut up"] LITTEN!
Plagg: What? It happened!
Adrien: You think it's funny, huh?
Adrien was feeling down because his alter ego was being rude to Marinette's alter ego!
Adrien: Ugh!
Litten: [jumps up onto his bed and licks his face]
Adrien smiled from that and stroked his partner's head!
Adrien: Thanks, buddy! You're the best, you know that?
Littlen: LITTEN!
Plagg: What's the big deal? You've got so many cards from all these lady fans of yours! Take your pick!
Plagg started to dig through the cards!
Litten got a better look at all the cards Adrien received!
Litten: [picks up the heart-shaped one] LITTEN! [jumps over to where Adrien is lying down] LITTEN!
Adrien: Hm?
Litten: [hands Adrien the card] LITTEN!
Adrien took the card and when he opened it, he became surprised that someone responded to his poem!
Adrien: Whoa, hold up! Someone answered my poem? But I threw it away! [starts to read the poem] "Your hair shines like the sun, your eyes are gorgeous green, I look at you and wonder your innermost thoughts and dreams. Yes, your Valentine I will be, our love will be so true, together for eternity, my heart belongs to you." [gasps]
Plagg: Aww, well, anyone who writes as sickeningly sweet as you must be your soulmate.
Litten: LITTEN?
Adrien: It isn't signed...
But then, a ladybug flew in and landed on the card. Adrien followed it to the window and watched it fly away
Adrien: Could it have come from Ladybug?
The model boy slumped down his window dreamily!
Plagg: Oh, please!
Back at Marinette's, she was trying to remember if she signed the card or not!
Alya: What do you mean, you don't remember? Did you sign the card or not?
Marinette: I don't know! The ladybug came along while I was writing, then you were yapping about your blog, and then... It's all a blur!
Alya: [laughs] I don't believe you! The girl didn't even sign it! I love you and all, but sometimes you seriously bug! You know that, right?
Both of them laughed as a ladybug flew outside the house! The next day, Ash was walking to school with Pikachu on his shoulder and Lucario walking by his side!
Ash: Yep! Today's gonna be a good day! I can tell!
Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!
Lucario: [saying it's happy for Ash and Juleka] MRAH RAH!
Ash: [smiles] Thanks, Lucario! I'm happy too!
Pikachu: [sees Juleka] PIKA! [jumps off of his shoulder and goes to her] PIKACHU!
Juleka: Hm? Hi, Pikachu.
Pikachu: [jumps onto her shoulder] PIKACHU! [nuzzles against her cheek] CHA!
Juleka: [giggles] [rubs its head] I'm glad to see you too!
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Ash: Hey, girls!
Marinette: Hi, Ash!
Alya: Hey there, Romeo!
Rose: There you are!
Juleka smiled at the presence of her soulmate!
Juleka: Hey, babe.
Ash: Hey, Jules!
Then, she hugged her boyfriend and gave him a good morning kiss!
Ash: [giggles] How's my girl?
Juleka: Good now that you're here!
Ash: Awesome!
They started to cuddle some more, just as a certain rich girl was getting out of her limousine and saw what was happening!
Chloé: What is this?!
Sabrina: [gasps]
Ash: This, Chloé the Snob, is my new girlfriend! You got a problem with that?
Pikachu: PIKACHU!
Chloé: Uh... No! I don't!
Ash: Oh! Okay then!
Juleka: [hugs Ash and rests her head on his shoulder] I love you, Ash!
Ash: [smiles] [rests his head on hers] I love you too, Juleka!
The rest of the girls just smiled, even Sabrina was happy for Ash! But Chloé...
Chloé: [as she walked passed them] You, Ketchum, are ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!
Ash: [pouts] Says you!
Marinette: Don't pay attention to her, Ash! What does she know?
Ash: [smiles] You're right! [drops the smile] But still, she gets me steamed!
Marinette: [chuckles]
Ash: [to Juleka] I'll see you in class, Jules! I need to talk with Marinette real fast!
Juleka: Okay, babe. [kisses his cheek]
She then gave Ash a playful boop on the nose, making him giggle.
Marinette: I'm really happy for you and Juleka, Ash!
Ash: Thanks, Marinette! I owe it all to you and the girls for making it possible!
Marinette: It's no problem, Ash! That's what friends are for!
Ash: Yeah! By the way, did Adrien get his card?
Marinette: Probably! But I don't remember if I signed it or not! [groans]
Ash: [sweat drops] Right! [shakes it off] Don't worry! In time you'll tell him! In time!
Marinette: Thanks, Ash!
Ash: No problem! [smiles cheekily] By the way, I think I might have something you'll be interested in!
Marinette: Huh?
Ash then pulled out his Rotom Phone and showed her the picture of her as Ladybug, kissing Cat Noir! Her eyes widened in shock!
Marinette: GAH! You took that picture of me and Cat Noir?!
Ash: [giggles] Yep! I sure did!
Marinette: Well, delete it!
Ash: Not happening! [as Marinette tries to get his Rotom Phone] Oh! Too slow! [as he ran off]
Marinette: Ash Ketchum! [as she chases after him] You get back here!
The scene ends with Marinette writing her love letter to Adrien, him reading it, Ladybug and Cat Noir kissing in a heart frame, and Marinette chasing Ash for his Rotom Phone as they laughed, and Ash and Juleka sharing a milkshake!
Narrator: Ah, love! It truly is a magical and wonderful thing! Wouldn't you agree? And someday, Marinette will sooner or later have her true love, 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!
