Miraculous Pokémon: Scarlet & Violet Season 1

by Scarlett-Comix

Many of us know the story of Miraculous, but what if their story was different. In the Pokémon world, Arceus infused the power of his plates to 19 Pokémon to create the Miraculous, which grant humans the powers of Pokémon. When one of these Miraculous falls into evil hands, it's up to Ladybug and Cat Noir to save the region of Paldea.

Miraculous Pokémon: Scarlet/Violet

Season 1 Episode 10: Reflekta

We start the morning off out in the library ofNaranja/Uva Academy, it is class picture day and Adrien's photographer, Vincent, is taking the photos with his Pokémon, Bronzor.[I probably should've included his Pokémon in the third episode, but I didn't think about it at the time and it won't let me change it now.] "Alright, everybody look at the camera. Hahaha, they're perfect! Say spaghetti!" Vincent says to the first class as his Bronzor shines with Flash to give the best lighting.

Everyone in Ms. Mendeleiev's class smiles and says,"Spaghetti!"

Off to the side, as Ms. Bustier's class is waiting for their picture, Adrien laughs while he and Nino chat with their Pokémon. Meanwhile, Marinette says to Alya with excitement,"I'm gonna be in a photo with Adrien! I'm gonna be in a photo with Adrien!"

"Right, 'cause uh– it's a class photo and you're in the same class as Adrien." Alya said with a sarcastic tone. [I think, I don't know tones]

Marinette nods eagerly as she said,"Amazing, isn't it? OH MY GOSH! What if we're standing in the same row together?" Piplup tries to act out a kissy face to mimic Marinette as Fennekin and Pikachu chuckle.

Alya laughs too as she says to her friend,"Oh girl, you're too funny. Just smile and whatever happens, don't forget to breathe!"

"At least you know you're gonna be in the photo." Juleka said with disappointment behind the two.

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

"What's this about being jinxed?" Marinette asked as she and Piplup turned around.

Juleka sighs as she tells Marinette and Alya,"Ever since I was little, every time someone takes a photo of me, something always goes very wrong."

In a flashback, a montage of photos reveals past photo mishaps. In one photo, a younger Max accidently covers over Juleka's face with his hand as he waved. In another photo with Rose and Juleka, a Starly flying past Juleka's face, blocking her. And another photo with Alya, Marinette, Rose, and Kim; Juleka is just barely in the photo.

"You're wrong Juleka, you'll see!" Rose says to her with a smile,"After all, what better way to showcase our new Pokémon?"

Hearing this, Alya asked, "Ooo, did you two catch some new Pokémon?"

Juleka just nods as Rose encourages her by saying, "Come on Juleka, let's show them our new cuties." She tosses out her Pokéball and as the light dissipates it reveals a little pink Igglybuff. Juleka throws out hers to reveal a Gothita. [I was going to go with Mawile, but I'll probably do that later. Thank you NodokaLover for the suggestion.]

"Ahhh! What cuties!" Marinette said as she kneeled down to pet the two Pokémon. She stands back up and says,"Don't worry Juleka, we'll do everything we can to make sure it goes right this time. Don't forget to smile!" Hearing this, Juleka smiles.

"Thank you kids, you've been wonderful."Vincent said as the first class walks off. Afterwards, he straightens everything as Bronzor uses its psychic powers to move equipment into place for Ms. Bustier's class."Ok, time to flash your pearly whites, guys! You kids and your Pokémon, take a seat in the front bench. Quickly please, I've got sixteen other classes to shoot." Vincent said as he gestures for Max, Alix, Rose, Marinette, and Mylène (in that order) who sit on the bench with their Pokémon. [A reminder for those who forgot: (in the same order) Froakie, Treecko, Tepig with Igglybuff, Piplup, and Chikorita.]

As everyone sits down on the bench, Marinette looks over and sees Adrienchatting with Nino when she hears Chloé says in a mocking tone,"Look Sabrina, they're up front in the baby seats! Go on rugrats; don't forget to take your thumbs out of your mouths!" Marinette grunts with annoyance while Piplup assures her that everything is alright.

"Well, next row!" Vincent said as he takes a second to think."Hmmm... You, you, you and you go stand on the rear bench, please."He points to Nathaniel, Alya, Sabrina, and Chloé.

While Nathaniel, Alya and Sabrina walked over with their Pokémon (Cyndaquil, Fennekin with Pikachu, and Chespin), Chloé stayed back with her Quaxly as she angrily said,"Wait just one minute! I'm supposed to be in the middle row, right next to Adrien. Preferably the center. Look, we're the same size!"She then waves her hand over Adrien and her head to show same height (which they're not).

Vincent just ignored her as he says to her, "Nah, go stand in the back row, behind the rest."

"How dare you, put me behind the rest?" Chloé said with disrespect as she and her Pokémon walk up to the photographer."Do you know who my father is?"

"Is he a photographer?" Vincent asked with a tone.

Chloé gaspsat the disrespect as she tried to explain, "NO! He's-"

But Vincent interrupted her by saying,"Bummer, I could really use an assistant. Now hurry up and take your place, or I'll put you up front with the babies!" Chloé growls as she walks off to the bench, Quaxly follows as she gives a hair swipe with attitude towards him. Vincent slides over and says to the rest of the class,"The rest of you boys, go stand in the middle row."

As the boys (Kim, Nino, Adrien, and Ivan) all stand in-between the rows with their Pokémon (Mudkip, Squirtle with Whismur, Sprigatito and Bulbasaur), Adrien says to Chloé who was standhim, "It's no big deal Chloé! As long as we're all in the same photo, right?" Sprigatito just chuckles at the situation. [I know the photo is getting tight with all of the Pokémon, just play along]

"Perfect!" Vincent said as he and Bronzor get the camera ready,"You guys are awesome! Now stop squirming and let's get this photo shot!"

Over to the side, Juleka is standing with her Litten and Gothita as she looks at her wrist mirror in sadness. Her Pokémon try to comfort her as Marinette notices and says to Vincent,"Uh, excuse me sir, you forgot Juleka."

Vincent looks over and sees her as says with sympathy,"Huh? Ah sorry, my bad! Go stand in the middle row, next to that blonde haired boy. Have your kitty on your shoulder and hold the little one in your arms"

As Juleka walks over with her Pokémon, Marinette says to her, "And you're gonna be right in the center! All eyes will be on you! No more jinxed class photos!"

Vincent tries to view the class through his fingers but says,"No, this isn't right! Something's not working here!"

"Uhh, course it's not working! I'm in the wrong spot!" Chloé said with a bratty attitude.

Vincent then goes up and says to Ivan with his Bulbasaur,"You two, move over here will ya? Let's see..."He tries several different spots for Ivan and his Bulbasaur, but nothing seemed to work. [I am not listing how each spot was.]

After a bit, Mr. Damocles asked,"Excuse me, but do we have a problem?"

Vincent sighs as he explains,"It doesn't matter where I put these two, it throws the whole picture out of whack!"

"My spot is unacceptable!"Chloé angrily said as she and Quaxly jump down a row and push Juleka and her Pokémon aside, but Juleka pushes back.

Seeing this, Marinette says, "That's right Juleka, don't let her push you out of the way!"

"Ms. Bourgeois, behave yourself!" Miss Bustier said to try to intervene.

Chloé smiled to play innocent with the teacher before she said to Marinette,"Hey! Nobody asked you loudmouth!"

"This isn't battle class, you know Chloé!" Adrien said to her.

"Bronzor, use Psychic!" Vincent told his Pokémon as its eyes glowed purple and a purple aura surrounded certain students as it started to move them. "You, over here, you here, and you here."When Bronzor was done, the rows were: Nathaniel, Alya, Sabrina, and Chloé in the back row; Nino, Adrien, Juleka, Kim and Ivan in the middle row; Max, Marinette, Mylene, Alix and Rose in the first row. (All while holding their Pokémon.)"There, perfect!" Vincent said as he was ready to take the picture. [I forgot to mention Mr. Damocles has his Noctowl on his shoulder and Miss Bustier is next to her Sylveon.]

"Uh, no! It isn't! It's not perfect at all! I'm totally not next to Adrien!"Chloé said with attitude which made both Adrien and Marinette sigh in disbelief at her immaturity. [Yes, I am a strong believer that Chloé doesn't deserve redemption. She's a spoiled brat!]

"Please Chloé, we still have sixteen classes to photograph!" Mr. Damocles said to the student before he turns to the photographer to say,"Go ahead Vincent."

Vincent looks through the camera and tells the class, "Say spaghetti!"

"Spaghetti!"Everyone says with a smile, especially Juleka.

However, the camera shows low battery just as Vincent presses the button and he says,"Oh, I don't believe this! I'm sorry, I have to go fetch another battery. Nobody move!"

Juleka gasps then looks sadly away as she goes over to her teacher to ask,"Can I go to the bathroom?"

"Yes, Juleka, but hurry!" Miss Bustier says to her as she walks off and heads to the restroom.

"Ms. Bustier! He said nobody is to move!" Mr. Damocles said with annoyance as his Noctowl hooted in agreement.

"It's an emergency sir!"Ms. Bustier whispered to him as Mr. Damocles growls with annoyance.

Chloé whispered to Sabrina,"Make sure she doesn't come back!"

Sabrina nods as she says,"Ms. Bustier, I need to go too!" Sabrina and Chespin immediately run off which leaves Marinette and Piplup concerned.

As Juleka goes inside the bathroom with her Pokémon, she gets followed by Sabrina and Chespin, who block the outer door with a wooden chair as they giggle. Both Litten and Gothita hear the giggling and warn Juleka who as she tries to open the door, but the chair is in the way.

Back in the library, Vincent is placing in the new battery as he tells the class,"We're back in business!" Sabrina and Chespin get back as they give Chloé a thumbs up.

Chloé grins as she and Quaxly jump down next to Adrien and Sprigatito's row. Marinette sees this and angrily asks,"Hey! What are you doing? Where's Juleka!"

"How'd you get here?" Adrien asked in confusion.

"Urgh, who cares? At last, I'm in the right spot!" Chloé said as she hung her arm around Adrien.

Meanwhile, Piplup tried to yell at Quaxly, but she just flipped her hair in disrespect which annoyed Piplup. Afterwards Quaxly tried posing next to Sprigatito which left him annoyed too.

Vincent then said to students with irritation in his voice,"I want you to flash your best smiles! Because it's the last time we are doing this!"

Chloé tries to hold Adrien's face as she smiled but Marinette gasps as she and Piplup try to stop the photo."but WAIT!"

But before they could do anything, Vincent takes the picture."Thanks kids!" He said as he tries to move them along.

"Wait!" Marinette said as she got up."Please sir, we have to redo the photo!"

"Why's that?" Principal Damocles asked.

Marinette tried to explain,"Because Juleka's not in it!"

"Jule-who?" Principal Damocles asked (as someone who clearly doesn't know his students).

"Juleka! The tall one with the purple streaks!" Marinette said while trying to mime it out.

Everyone then tried to argue to the principal,"She's right. Where'd she go?"

"Didn't she go to the bathroom?" Adrien tried asking.

"Uh, Mr. Damocles, don't we need to be heading off to lunch?" Chloé walked up to him to ask,"And isn't the academy paying the photographer by the hour?"

"Why yes! No time to retake, class move along, hurry up!" Mr. Damocles said as he made everyone leave. [Shoutout to Njistar, you were right, Clavell is definitely better, Damocles is a pushover. Unfortunately, I can't include Clavell in every scene.]

Vincent then said,"Ok, lunch break!"

Rose and her Pokémon try to search through the halls as she calls out, "Juleka? Juleka! Jule-kuh!?"They eventually make their way towards the girls' bathroom as Tepig hears Juleka sobbing, and Rose notices the chair blocking the door. They get rid of the chair and head inside, only to see Juleka crying against the wall with her Pokémon trying to comfort her. "Poor sweet Juleka!" Rose said as she, Tepig and Igglybuff head over to help her.

After sniffling, Juleka hears Rose and stands up to ask,"I missed the photo. Didn't I?"

"Yeah, another one of Chloé's mean tricks!" Rose said to her.

Juleka then says with sadness in her voice,"Why should I expect it to be any different? Nobody ever hears me. Or sees me. I'm invisible. Even in photos."

Hearing this made all of the Pokémon sad as Rose tries to say,"Don't say that Juleka! It's not true!"

"Forget it. As long as Chloé's in the picture, she'll find a way to keep me out of it." Juleka said as she runs towards the door to leave.

Rose tried to stopher by saying, "No, wait Juleka!"

But Juleka's sadness overcame her as she says, "Really Rose, forget it. Forget me."Juleka runs out the bathroom and through the academy doors with her Pokémon struggling to keep up. She down the stairs and eventually hides herself in the archway underneath the stairs.

The window of Hawk Moth's lair opens, the light shines on Hawk Moth as he says aloud, "Poor girl, feeling so lonely and ignored. How terrible it must be to feel you don't even exist. Come here my little friend."A butterfly flies into the palm of his hand as he begins to swirl his other hand around, which collects glowing purple dust and moves it over the butterfly. With his hands pressed together over the butterfly, the glowing dust infuses the butterfly as it turns into anakuma."Fly my vile akuma and give this transparent soul a voice and a vision!" The akuma then flies through the window and into the city.

Back in the academy library, Rose walks over to Marinette and Alya (who are sitting on a bench with their Pokémon) and says to them,"Oh, Juleka's been locked in the bathroom, she really does have the class photo jinx!"

"Of course, I should've known Chloé was behind this!" Marinette says with annoyance as she gets up to say,"We're gonna have to break this curse, Rose!"

Rose stands back up to say,"We can ask the photographer."

"There's no point, he wouldn't want to!" Marinette responded before she thought of something,"Unless, if the photo disappeared, the principal would have no choice but ask the photographer to shoot another one, with Juleka!"

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

"You find Juleka, I'll take care of the rest!" Marinette said as Rose, along with her Tepig and Igglybuff, run off.

As they were talking, they were overheard by Chloé and Sabrina who were hiding around a corner with their Pokémon. Chloé says in frustration,"She's not ruining my perfect photo with Adrien! Think of something, fast!"

Underneath the stair archway, both Litten and Gothita try to comfort their trainer until they notice the akuma flies into Juleka'swrist mirror. A light mask forms on her face, her Pokémon try to help her, but all she can hear is Hawk Moth's voice saying,"Reflekta, I am Hawk Moth. From now on you will be the only one people see! Thanks to the power of the Disguise Pokémon, Mimikyu, no one will ever ignore you again! However, you must do me a favor in return, when the time comes."

"Yes, Hawk Moth."Julekasaid as she becomes engulfed in the purple cloud and transforms into Reflekta. She looks in her wrist mirror and giggles before she twirls and struts back to the academy, leaving her Pokémon concerned and afraid.

Reflekta's face was white, and she had light brilliant rose circle markings around her eyes, along with strong amber colored eyes and moderate purple lipstick. On the tips of her eyelashes, there were small light green spheres. Her hair is twisted into ponytails similar to Mimikyu's rag doll Pikachu ears. [I can't think of how I'm going to describe the rest of this design, I'm still bad at descriptions, so to save time just imagine Mimikyu mixed with Harley Quinn.]

[For those wondering why I chose Mimikyu, it was hard to decide on a Pokémon that alters appearances, so I decided to base it off of how Juleka probably felt. Alone, isolated, feeling like she is never seen over anyone else, presumably jealous that others get their picture when she doesn't. All those factors, especially jealously, made me think Mimikyu would be perfect. And as for the transformations, consider them her using them as Substitute.]

Meanwhile in Naranja/Uva Academy, Marinette, Tikki, and Piplup are watchingthe principal's officefrom the stairs as Marinette says to them,"So, all the material stays in the Principal's office during lunch break!"

"I refuse to be a part of this!" Tikki says as she and Piplup show concern.

"There's no time!" Marinette says to her kwami and Pokémon,"You two may not like it, but we have to break Juleka's class photo jinx before the photographer leaves the school!"Soon both Vincent and Mr. Damocles exit the office and Marinette sneaks past them as Tikki and Piplup follow.

As she's opening the office door, Tikki says to Marinette,"There must be another way, Marinette!" But Marinette stills goes through as she tells Piplup to watch the door. However, she didn't notice Chloé and Sabrina across the hall with their Pokémon as they're filming her with Chloé's phone and they all smirk.

In the office, Marinette sees the camera on the desk and goes through the photos until she sees her class. Before she can do anything, Piplup warns her that someone is coming and all three hide under the desk as Chloé walks in with Sabrina and their Pokémon.

As they are hiding, Tikki whispers to her with disappointment,"I knew this wasn't a good idea!" But Piplup just tries to shush Tikki to avoid getting caught.

As Mr. Damocles and Vincent are chatting at the main entrance in the library, Reflekta bursts through the academy doors and says to them,"Well hello!"

A shocked Principal Damocles asks with confusion,"What? Who-who are you?"

Reflekta then says aloud for everyone to hear,"Nobody has ever noticed me! But those days are over! Because from now on, everybody will notice me because everyone will look like me! Time to get a new look!"She then fires a beam from her wrist that transforms Principal Damocles and Vincent into duplicates of herself."Soon there will be nothing but Reflektas everywhere!"She continues to transform people, but as people are panicking, others are trying to fight back with their Pokémon. But Reflekta creates a shadow on the ground, which extends past the students (Shadow Sneak)."No need to panic! Who doesn't love an extreme makeover?" She then releases a bright rainbow-colored light from her body (Dazzling Gleam), blinding the students and Pokémon before she turned them into duplicates too. The transformation leaves the Pokémon unable to use any moves, much to their concern. Reflekta soon notices some students trying to run away as she angrily yells to them, "Nobody leaves here!"as she picks up one of the bookcases and throwing it, blocking the entrance."Soon all of Mesagoza, even all of Paldea, will look like me, including Miss Chloé Bourgeois!"She said as she laughs evilly.

In Hawk Moth's lair, he says aloud,"Beautiful. It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir show up to show their face!" He proceeds to laugh evilly.

"Chloé Bourgeois? Have you seen Chloé Bourgeois?" Reflekta asks her victims as she transforms them.

As Adrien exits the bathroom with his Pokémon, theysee the damage before Adrien runs back inside."Time to transform! Sprigatito, return!" He returns his Pokémon to his Pokéball and begins his Transformation Sequence. "Plagg, claws out!"Adrien called out as his kwami gets sucked into the ring and he transforms into Cat Noir.

Cat Noir runs towards the school main entrance, sees the bookcase blocking it, and says,"It's blocked!"

Seeing the hero from his hiding spot, Nino yells out to the other students,"Yo! Check it! Cat Noir is gonna save us!" All the students hear this, including Reflekta.

Cat Noir tries toshush him, butReflekta spots him and attempts to shoot him with her ray despite missing."Okay, change of plan."Cat Noir said as he manages to dodge Reflekta's ray and swings his belt for an Iron Tail attack which hits and sends Reflekta back against the wall, then he runs towards the door as Reflekta grunts in annoyance.

At the door, he hears a voice hiding behind an overturned desk saying, "Help us Cat Noir! I don't know how longer I can stand being in this body!" It was Ivan as a Reflekta copy.

"Cataclysm!"Cat Noir called out as he activates his power and attempts to use it on the bookcase, but he gets hit by Reflekta's ray and transforms into a Reflekta copy.

"Much better! Ihatecats!" Reflekta says with a smile.

"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir called out until he realized his powers weren't working and looks at his hand."Huh? My ring! My Miraculous! It's gone!"

A light mask forms on Reflekta's face as Hawk Moth angrily says to her,"His Miraculous! You should've taken it before you transformed him!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"Reflekta says as continues laughing. She then calls out for the whole academy to hear,"WHERE IS CHLOE BOURGEOIS?!"

Back in Principal Damocles' office, Marinette is still hiding under the desk with Piplup and Tikki as Chloé, Sabrina and their Pokémon are searching for them. Chloé then calls out, "Marinette, I know you and your penguin are in here. Come out, now!

"Hide, Tikki." Marinette whispered as her kwami hid.

Both Marinette and Piplup stand up, which Chloé sees and says,"Aha! Caught red-handed Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" She then pulls out her phone and shows the two the video, "The principal would love my video of you two snooping around his office!"Marinette and Piplup gasp as Sabrina and the other Pokémon laugh.

As they're busy laughing, Marinette runs around the desk to grabs the camera and says,"Stop now or the class photo disappears! Which would be a shame considering how good you look in the photo, right next to Adrien!"

"No!" Chloé says with shock.

"Hand it over to Piplup, Chloé!" Marinette says as Chloé gives the phone to Piplup, who brings it over to her trainer as she puts the camera down and deletes the video.

However, Sabrina looks over at the camera and tells her Chespin, "Get the camera, use Vine Whip!" Two light green vines come out from each side of Chespin's head that grab the camera and brings it to her trainer [Yes, Chespin is female]. Sabrina pulls out the memory card from the camera and tosses it to Chloé.

Marinette sees this and angrily says,"Give me that card!"

"Give me back my phone!" Chloé replied as Quaxly and Chespin try to block off Piplup.

Marinette retorted to her,"Give me the card or I'll keep your phone!"

Chloé laughs as she responds,"Ha! You can keep the phone! I'll just buy another one!"

Suddenly they are all shocked when they hear Reflekta's voice muffled through the walls, "CHLOE!Where are you!?"

"What was that!?"Chloé asked in confusion.

While she's distracted, Marinette grabs the card and says to her Pokémon, "Let's go Piplup!" Piplup blasts Water Gun to push aside Quaxly and Chespin before she and Marinette run off.

Annoyed, Chloé says to Sabrina, "Hey! Don't just stand there! Go get them!"Marinette and Piplup run out of the office and hide. Sabrina and Chespin run after them as Chloé stays behind with Quaxly and asked with annoyance,"Where did those pea-brains go?"

Reflekta jumps her way up the stairway to the office and says,"There you are at last! Chloé Bourgeois!"

"Who are you?" Chloé asked with attitude as Quaxly scuffs her with disgust.

Reflekta walks closer to the two and says to them,"Take a good look at me because I am your future face!"

"Eugh! Gross!" Chloé said as she pushed off Reflekta. "Quaxly use Water Gun!" Quaxly fires a stream of water that send the villain falling back, she gets back uponly to see Chloé and Quaxly trying to escape. However, she leaps in front of them and uses Dazzling Gleam to blind them before she zaps them with her ray, turning them both into duplicates. Disgusted by the look, Chloé says to her,"What in the-? Do you realize how much my outfit cost!?"

Reflekta responds with sass,"You should be thanking me! You look a thousand times better like this!"She continues to laugh evilly as Marinette and Piplup watch from a distance before running off.

They run into an empty room as Marinette pulls out her Pokéball and says, "Return, Piplup!" In red light, Piplup returns to the Pokéball as Marinette says to Tikki, "Time to transform, Tikki!" as she begins her Transformation Sequence."Tikki, spots on! Yeah!"Marinette transforms into Ladybug.

Out in the hall, Reflekta angrily says to Chloé and Quaxly as they are looking over their appearance,"You won't get rid of me by locking me in the bathroom this time!"

Hearing that, Ladybug gasps as she realizes who the villain was,"Juleka!"She then jumps in front of Reflekta, protecting Chloé and Quaxly, and says to her,"Juleka, stop this now!"

"I'm not the Juleka nobody notices anymore!" Reflekta says to the hero,"Now, I'm the unmistakableReflekta!"

The light mask appears on her face as she hears Hawk Moth saying,"Before you transform Ladybug, take her Miraculous from her! The earrings!"

Reflekta smiles as she points her wrist mirror and says, "I'm sure you're going to love your new image, Ladybug!"

Ladybug swings her yo-yo as a shield as she replies,"Thanks, but no thanks, I prefer the one I've got!"

"You sure? Ask Cat Noir. I'm sure heloveshis new look!"Reflekta said as she tries to transform Ladybug while giggling, but Ladybug dodges all the blasts as Chloé and Quaxly run away.

As Reflekta chases after and keeps firing at Ladybug, Cat Noir sees this and says,"My powers might be gone but I can't just stand by and do nothing!"He tries to run after them, but he trips over his heels and angrily says,"Who invented these things?"He eventually makes his way to one of the classrooms and says to the other students,"If you want your faces back listen up, you heard of safety in numbers?"

Meanwhile Ladybug tries to attack Reflekta by firing Air Slashes from her yo-yo, but she dodges every attack by using Shadow Sneak. Eventually, Reflekta does get hit with an Air Slash and stumbles back. Ladybug tries to go over to find her akuma only for Reflekta to disappear in a puff of smoke. "Huh? Wait, it was a Substitute!" Ladybug said before she gets ambushed by Reflekta.

"Precisely!" Reflekta said as her eyes glows and she swung her arm which fired off an Air Slash attack that knocked Ladybug over. "I also have Mimic , like everyone else you'll look just like me!" Reflekta said to the hero as she backs her into a corner. Ladybug tries to hit her, but Reflekta grabs her arm and says,"But first, I'm gonna take your earrings as a trophy!"

As Reflekta struggles to grab Ladybug's miraculous, she hears Cat Noir's voice as he says,"Time to face off!"She turns around and sees all of the other students who got transformed stand together, ready to fight."Catch her!" Cat Noir says as he charges at her.

"Yeah, get her!" Ivan's voice is heard saying.

"Run on!" Nino's voice said.

They all run towards her, but Reflekta jumps over and on top of them to escape. On the other side of the crowd, Reflektasays to the hero, "You're no match for me Ladybug, this will all be over soon for you!"She then jumps through an open window high above and escapes. Outside of the academy, both her Litten and Gothita watch Reflekta as she leaps away, and they run towards the school for help.

After she escapes, many of the students ask Ladybug with concern (starting with Rose),"How are you gonna help us, Ladybug?"

Nino also says to her,"We want our faces back!"

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out!" Ladybug says with determination.

Cat Noir then says to her,"Yeah, these shoes are killer on the feet, my lady!"

Ladybug then asks with shock, "Cat Noir?"

"Excuse us, move out of the way." Cat Noir said as he pulled her aside to speak in private.

When they're finally isolated, Ladybug asks again,"Cat Noir, is it - is it really you?"

"'Course it is! Can't you tell by my swagger!" Cat Noir said as he does his signature pose."Am I still the cat's meow or what?"

Confused, Ladybug says to him,"I-uh... I don't know what to say!"

Cat Noir gets close and says to her,"How about a thank you for getting you out of that tight spot!"

Ladybug tries to hold back her laughter as she said,"Sorry, Cat Noir, but you - you just... you just don't look like yourself! But uh... thank you!"

"You're welcome." Cat Noir says as he moves closer to her,"And in case you've forgotten, we've got to de-akumatize Reflekta!"

"We?" Ladybug asks."Your powers are gone, what are you gonna do? Throw your shoes at her?"She asked as she laughs again.

"Remind me who just saved you a minute ago?" Cat Noir retorted.

Ladybug then says to him,"I have to find Reflekta fast! You'd slowed me down! You can't even use your attacks!"

"Maybe, but you know, sometimes I do have ideas." Cat Noir said as he points to his head.

Realizing it would be pointless to argue, Ladybug agrees and says to him, "Ok, yeah, sorry, and?"

Cat Noir continues to say, "I don't think taking on Reflekta face to face is the best idea unless you want a facelift too."

Ladybug thought about that and said,"You're right and that gives me an idea!"

But as they make their way outside, the two heroes get interrupted by the meows of a little fire cat. They look over to see Litten and Gothita with looks of concern and sadness on their faces.

"Oh no, these must be Juleka's Pokémon." Ladybug said as she knelt down to them. "You must be so worried. Don't worry, we'll get Juleka back." But as she gets up to try to go, Litten fires an Ember attack towards her feet which startles her.

Ladybug turned around to see Litten angrily saying something to her, which she didn't understand at first until Cat Noir says to her, "I may not be fluent in Pokémon, but this cat can tell that these two want to help." Litten nods his head as Gothita walks closer to agree.

Ladybug smiled as she said, "You two are so brave, of course you can help." Ladybug picks up Litten and holds him in her arms as she swings her yo-yo.

As Cat Noir picks up Gothita, he asks Ladybug,"Where are we headed?"

"To the TV station!" Ladybug says as she grabs onto Cat Noir and Litten climbs onto her shoulders."Here goes, watch your nails!"

After they make it to the next roof over, Cat Noir says to her, "Your jokes are so lame!"

Ladybug replies to him,"You haven't just lost your body, Cat Noir. I think you've lost your sense of humor too!" Both Litten and Gothita chuckle which makes Cat Noir grunt at them.

Through the streets of Mesagoza, Reflekta continues transforming everyone and their Pokémon. People and Pokémon run in panic until they hear Ladybug broadcasting on a TV saying,"People of Mesagoza! Reflekta is not invincible! You can help, all you have to do is put on a disguise! Then I'll be able to spot the real Reflekta and bring her down!"

In the mayor's office, Reflekta points her mirror at Mayor André Bourgeois as he tries to fight back with his Pokémon, Serperior. "Serperior, use Leaf Blade!" The leaf at the end of Serperior's tail glows light green and it slashes towards Reflekta, but she dodges and zaps the Pokémon, turning it into a copy of her.

[Some of you may not like that I gave the mayor a Serperior, but I was going to give it to Chloé due to the regality, so this just made sense to me.]

"Everyone must look like me, even you, Mr. Mayor!" Reflekta says she walks closer pointing her mirror andhe cowers backwards.

Behind the mayor, Ladybug is on a monitor saying,"Remember, put on a disguise!"

"You are no match for Ladybug!" André says and her stands tall against the villain.

"Now why would you say that when she's just given away her secret."Reflekta said as she zaps the mayor.

Despite his new appearance, the mayor still said with bold confidence,"Ladybug will save us!"

Reflekta angrily grabs his wrists and says to him,"Ladybug won't be saving anybody!"

A light mask appears on her face as Hawk Moth's says to her,"Don't let Ladybug get away this time! Or I'll remove your powers!"

At theTVi studio soundstage, Ladybug finishes saying,"I'm relying on you all!"

"And cut!"Cat Noir said as he turns off the camera and walks towards her with Juleka's Pokémon at his side. The two high five as Cat Noir continues to say to her,"Got it. Sorry but isn't your plan a bit complicated?"

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

"And fall right into our claws!"Cat Noir says as he kisses Ladybug's hand.

Ladybug corrected him by saying, "You mean, into your nails."

"Still not funny."Cat Noir replied but Ladybug and the Pokémon still giggle.

Soon, Reflekta walks in but gets stopped in her tracks by Gothita's Confusion attack until Ladybug steps down from a stairwell and swings her yo-yo around her then says, "Gotcha!"

"The akuma has to be in her bracelet!" Cat Noir said from an opposite stairwell as Litten grabs the bracelet with his teeth and brings it over to Ladybug.

"Checkmate, Reflekta!"Ladybug said as shebreaks the bracelet, but nothing happens."Huh? This isn't the real one" Ladybug said with realization as the heroes and Pokémon hear the real Reflekta laugh from a distance.

As the Reflekta copy spoke, it is revealed to be Mayor Bourgeois's voice as he says,"I'm sorry, she promised she'd changed me and Serperior back to our normal selves if I tricked you."

"Mayor Bourgeois?" Ladybug asked as Reflekta's ray fired at her.

"There! Look out!"Cat Noir called out as he jumps in front of Ladybug and takes the ray, but nothing happens."I've already been changed so I'm safe."

Ladybug says to her partner with gratitude,"Thanks, Cat Noir!"

"Go ahead, use that charm of yours!"Cat Noir said as he winks at her.

Ladybug nods as she activates her power,"Lucky Charm!"As her yo-yo spun in the air, acameraappears, leaving her confused."A camera? Okay..."She said as she uses her Lucky Vision and spots the Pokémon, a spotlight, Reflekta's eyes and her bracelet. With that, she had a plan as she called out,"Cat Noir! Turn off the lights, quickly! Litten, Gothita, you're with me!"As Ladybug and the Pokémon avoid Reflekta's blasts, Cat Noir goes over and shuts the lights off as he gives Ladybug a thumbs up. As Reflekta is confused and stumbling in the dark, Ladybug begins taking many pictures of Reflekta and blinding her with the flash as she calls out,"Over here Reflekta!"Each flash distracted her as she tries to fire her ray but hits nothing, she then hears Ladybug call out again, "Litten, use Fury Swipes! Gothita, use Pound!" The two Pokémon simultaneously attack the villain as she keeps getting knocked down and blinded by the flash. In the confusion, Reflekta points her ray at Ladybug again, only for her to notice that it is not there anymore. Ladybug opens her hand to reveal she nabbed the bracelet, Reflekta tries to get it back but gets distracted by Gothita's Tickle attack. With Reflekta not able to take it, Ladybug drops the bracelet to the ground where Litten destroys it with his Ember attack and the akuma flies out. Meanwhile, Cat Noir turns the lights back on as Ladybug opens her yo-yo and says,"No more evil doing for you little akuma! Time to de-evilize!"She successfully captures the akuma and says,"Gotcha. Bye-bye little butterfly."Ladybug releases the purified butterfly as she throws her Lucky Charm into the air and calls out,"Miraculous Ladybug!"In the glowing light of the magic ladybugs, everyone returns back to normal, including cat Noir as Ladybug says to her, "You were awesome, Cat Noir!"

"And with those shoes on too!" Cat Noir joked to her,"By the way, those things should be illegal!"

Juleka, after she turns back to normal, asks,"Where, where am I?" But her confusion turns to happiness when her Pokémon jump into her arms, filled with joy that she's back to being herself. Juleka smiles as she hugs her Litten and Gothita.

Seeing the sight of a happy trainer and her Pokémon, the two heroes fistbump as they say in unison,"Pound it!"

Ladybug grabs onto Juleka's hand and brings her over to the mayor as she asks him, "Could you take this girl and her Pokémon back to her school please, Mr. Bourgeois?"

Mayor Bourgeois replied to the hero, "Yes, of course Ladybug!"

"Thank you!"Ladybug said with gratitude asher Miraculous starts beeping."See you later Cat Noir! Bug out!" She said to her partner as leaves while Cat Noir smiles at her.

In Hawk Moth's Lair, Hawk Moth monologues aloud,"You might've pulled it off today Ladybug, but everything isn't always as it appears to be!Watch outLadybug! I'll destroy you when you least expect it!" The window then slowly closes.

Outside the academy, Marinette stands just outside the door with Piplup at her side as she opens her purse and pulls out the memory card before says to her kwami, "You were right, Tikki. Stealing this was a bad choice."

Tikki pops her head out of the purse and asks,"So you're not going to erase the photo?"

Marinette replied with reassurance,"No, I've got another idea, which I think you'll approve of."

"That's my girl!" Tikki said with a smile as Piplup hopped up and hugged her trainer, which made her smile.

Inside, Vincent and Bronzor are preparing to take another class photo, meanwhile Marinette and Piplup go over to Chloé and Quaxly to return her phone as she says,"Here, you can have this back."

"Ready?" Vincent says as he is about to take the picture.

Before he does, Marinette interrupts him and says,"Uh hey, you dropped this!"She shows him the memory card in her hand.

Vincent looks over then notices that the memory card isn't in camera and says to her,"Ah, grazi!" He then puts the card back in the camera as he gets ready to take the picture.

Marinette then tries to plead to him by saying,"I know you're very busy but one of our classmates wasn't in the photo you took. Is there any way we could do it again?"

Vincent tries to sympathize with her but says,"Well, I'm already running late with everything that's been going on and... Mr. Damocles."He subtly points at the principal who has a stern look on his face.

"I understand but...could you do it after you're finished here at the school?" Marinette asks hoping to appeal to him."We could set up at one of the plazas!"

"Well..." Vincent says with hesitation.

Worried, Marinette tries to flatter him instead,"We want awesome photo taken by the most awesome photographer, PLEASE!"

"Well, when you put it that way...OK!" Vincent finally agreed.

Outside on a bench in the Eastern Plaza [I didn't know which to go for, everyone is gathered with their Pokémon to take another picture and this time, Juleka is included, but not Chloé and Sabrina. "Okay, we're all good here, ready?" Vincent says to the students as he prepares his camera.

Adrien (while Sprigatito is on his shoulder) leaned over and whispered to Marinette (who is holding Piplup),"This photo was a good idea, Marinette!"

Marinette blushes as she says to him,"Thanks Adrien!" Seeing her blush, Piplup looks up and winks at her trainer as Marinette smiles.

As Chloé and Sabrina are hiding behind a tree watching with their Pokémon, Chloé says with a snarky attitude,"Like I would want to be part of their stupid photo anyway! Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!" Chloé struts away with Quaxly flipping her hair back as she followed.

They snap the picture and as the photographer goes through the images, Rose says with excitement,"The class photo curse is broken!"

"Thank you, Marinette! Juleka says with gratitude as her Pokémon cuddle with her, which makes Juleka smile even more.
