First Author's Note: THANK YOU SO MUCH, BFT Honey! Seriously, BearfootTruck made this next chapter possible AND ON FANFICTION FRIDAY FIRE NO LESS! (Not even 4AM yet) Four more Author's Notes are at TBC. . .

Denis Damocles AKA The Owl lead the gang to Viridian City in record time. Even informing them that the Gym Leaders weren't there right now.

"Wow, 2 Gym Leaders. . . How do you think they battle?" Marinette asks nervously, as she keeps glancing to the back room where Nurse Joy has all their Pokémon.

Kagami atop Adrien's lap, sighs with a slight frown. "Marinette calm yourself. We won't know until we meet them. I see no use in worrying about the inevitable."

Tho harsh the table agrees, Adrien lightly squeezes Kagami's waist. She looks back to him, nodding apologetically.

"However. . . we each have two Pokémon. That alone evens chances of victory." Kagami smiles brightly, more so as Marinette fondly rolls her bluebell eyes.

"Nice save, Mrs Agreste." She remarks to her fellow blunette. Resulting in both Adrigami blushing.

Ninoé return each carrying 3 trays of food. "Hey wasn't Alya, with you guys?" Adrien asks not finding the dark skinned girl.

Ninoé resume their seats after handing off the covered trays. Nino shrugs causally, "She said something about trying out this new claw machine game Mr. Damocles told her about."

All about to dig in, when said girl runs excitedly through the sliding double doors. Breathing heavily but smiles none the less. Just as a tall stern purplette with bright blue eyes behind sadultharp eye glasses walks up. A Pokémon with one just eye ball floats around her head.

"Excuse me kids, I'm Ms. Mendeleiev, as Denis "The Owl", She air quotes with her fingers before continuing, with a slightly amused smile. "Over enthusiastically stated you all wanted a Gym Battle, my bosses are back from their picnic. You may come by whenever you'd like."

About to walk off when Alya's orange Pokedex comes to life, reading on Ms. Mendeleiev's floating eyeball.

"That's so awesome, thanks!" Nino states as Marinette giggles nervously. Kagami side glances behind herself, before she can Adrien kisses her left cheek thrilled himself.

- Magnemite, the Magnet Pokémon. . It is attracted by electromagnetic waves. It may approach Trainers if they are using their Pokégear. -

"Wow, interesting." Alya states as Magnemite floats over to her, it lightly taps the pokéball in her right hand.

"Oh right, guys! Back on topic, The Owl was so right. This claw machine gives out Pokémon! Check it out, meet the gang!" Alya gently taps it, for the white bright light a very cute yellow eyed blue front furred with black furred rear smiles at them. Marinette actives her pink Pokédox, as Ms. Mendeleiev smiles at the scene before her.

- Shinx, The Flash Pokémon. . .The extension and contraction of its muscles generates electricity. Its fur glows when it's in trouble. -

"Very good play, young lady. But I don't my goofy husband informed you, that with a camera atop the machine. Only one play for each player per day. The pokéballs also rotate over night. You can find those machines we created all over Kanto, trying to move them to different regions soon as well." Ms. Mendeleiev states with a proud smile.

"So cool! So guys what first?" Nino asks the table. All glance at one another. Nino nods as they all say easily: "To the Gym!"

XXXXX

"Piplup and Vulpix are unable to battle! The Gym Leaders, Cobbs and Deerja win!" The referee declares as Adrien and company enter the double doors.

"Oh man, Piplup I'm sorry I failed you."

"It's not your fault Andreas." Cobbs states with a smile with his Arbok slithering up beside him.

As Andreas tag team partner hugs her Vulpix close. Her pink eyes behind oval black rim glasses stare completely defeated, on her knees.

"Hey now, Sweetie you and Vulpix really pushed on. Please don't think of it as defeat, think of how much you've learned and grow stronger." Deerja states as her own Partner Deerling, rubs against said sweetie's left hand.

"They are right, Cecilia." Andreas states as he helps the slight furious strawberry-blonde off the floor.

Grabbing their hurt Pokémon the walk out. Running as they pass Adrien and company.

"Great more play time for Arbok. Name's Cobbs and my best bud Arbok it's a pleasure. This is my little sister Deerja and her best bud Deerling." He politely states as Deerja's light green eyes sparkle at all the possibilities.

"In our gym it's your choice. Battle one or both of us. But as you saw, tag team be best." Deerja smiles as her Grass/Normal type happily jumps in place beside her.

QUESTIONS:

In general what now? Whom does what? Adrigami tag team the Gym Leaders first, or individual one-on-one? Or Ninoé, Marinette and Alya?

Words: 1,370

Second Author's Note: Forgive the shortness as compared to the last two chapters.

Third Author's Note: YES, ALL GYM LEADERS ARE HUMAN KWAMIS!

Fourth Author's Note: Thank you BearfootTruck once again. For allowing me to use your Miraculous OCs Andreas and his Cobra Kwami Cobbs. PLUS Magnemite as the partner for Ms. Mendeleiev!

Fifth Author's Note: Okay, originally I wanted Adrien to have Shinx (being it's based on lion cub.) But then I remembered Alya didn't catch a second Pokémon while in the Viridian Forest. Now as for the claw machine filled with Pokémon, blame my love of the plushie filled machines themselves.
