* OutGambitted:[[spoiler: He had his Mega Lucario use Bone Rush to shroud the arena in sand dust and was planning on using his Aura manipulation ability to find Tikki within the dust covered battlefield.

[[spoiler: He inadvertently gives Marinette heart trouble, causing her to briefly be attracted to him due to his handsome looks and kind personality]].
-----
* BigBrotherInstinct: Cares very much for Juleka and wants her to open up to others more. In Chapter 59, he helps her calm down when she's having a panic attack during the Showcase intermission due to dealing with performing on an outdoor theater.
* ChickMagnet: Described to be charming and handsome, it also helps that he's involved in the Laverre fashion shows to attract a lot of female attention. [[spoiler: A digital image of him was enough to briefly cause Marinette heart trouble]].
* ClosestThingWeGot: [[spoiler: Although he was picked by President Bourgeois as the new Laverre City Gym Leader because of his skills with Fairy-Types, it also because the President Bourgeois was in dire need for an immediate replacement when Clara was about to leave for her travels and Luka was at the right place at the right time when that happened]].
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: He wants to become a great musician and Trainer like his idol, Jagged Stone and contrary to his laid-back demeanor, understands the feeling of disillusionment and knows what it can do to you, as he himself has experienced it before]].
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: As to uphold the Laverre Gym's theme type, he uses Fairy-type Pokémon like Clefable, Slurpuff, and Azumarill.
* RealMenWearPink: Is more than willing to be a part of hosting the Laverre fashion show the Gym holds every season, which seems to be predominately run by women. That said, he's not a pushover in battles.
* ShipperOnDeck: He picks up on Marinette's interest in Adrien while sitting with her during the Couriway Showcase in Chapter 59. [[spoiler: During Marinette and Kagami's battle while sitting with Adrien, he subtly urges him to pay more attention to Marinette as to slowly allow him to reciprocate her feelings]].
* SiblingYinYang: The decided dynamic between [[spoiler: him and Juleka]]. Though they have similar tastes in fashion, Juleka is a known ShrinkingViolet who [[NightmareFetishist likes and owns]] [[SoulPower Ghost-type Pokémon]] while [[spoiler: Luka]] is more outgoing and charming and specializes with [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Fairy-types]], [[spoiler: which fits as his new role as the Laverre City Gym Leader]]. However, [[spoiler: Luka]] does focus on the [[TheFairFolk more realistic and darker aspects of Fairy-types]], constantly referring to their "hidden fangs" [[spoiler: during Marinette's Gym battle against him in Chapter 46]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Marianne Lenoir]]
An elderly woman born with psychic powers, the most prominent being the ability to look into the future, Marianne has held the title of Gym Leader of Anistar City for a seeming long time. She has aided the Kalos region in the past with her clairvoyance, protecting the people from imminent disasters when the stars allow her to foresee them. [[spoiler: She also has a special relationship with Fu, guiding Marinette to find him in Terminus Cave after she defeats her in a Gym battle in Chapter 56]].
-----
* AdaptationalBadass: She's a powerful Psychic-user in this story.
* AnimalMotifs: Her cloak has Celebi body outlines.
* AntiMagic: Xatu's Magic Bounce, which caught Marinette off guard when she had Leavanny attempt to restrain her with String Shot, only to discover the move reflected back on Leavanny. [[spoiler: Marinette later uses this to her advantage to get Marianne to lower her guard, by having Leavanny use String Shot again and getting Togekiss to take the hit to be slowed down. This is to make her the fastest Pokémon while Trick Room is active]].
* BadassTeacher: Marianne has Simon as her leading apprentice and several Psychics studying under her tutelage in the Anistar Gym to hone their abilities and deepen their bonds with their Pokémon. As Marinette experienced in her Gym battle, Marianne is a force to be reckoned with in both her psychic abilities and experience as a Gym Leader.
* BlowYouAway: Owns a Xatu, a dual Psychic/Flying-type.
* CombatClairvoyance: Both her Xatu and Starmie use Future Sight, combining their powers to set up a devastating and incoming attack that is assure to strike.
* CoolOldLady: She is kind and grandmotherly to Marinette and her friends. Even her students greatly admire her.
* CrazyPrepared: Xatu's and Starmie's movesets and Abilities complement each other well for nearly every situation, [[spoiler: particularly Xatu's Trick Room and Starmie's Analytical]].
* DiscardAndDraw: [[spoiler: A combination of Xatu's Trick Room and Starmie's Analytical ability decreases Starmie's speed in exchange for a tremendous power boost to its Attack stats]].
* DualBoss: Marianne uses her Xatu and Starmie against Marinette, who in turn chose Leavanny and Togekiss.
%% * {{Expy}}: Of Olympia, being a wise older woman with clairvoyant powers and teaching younger Psychics how to enhance their powers and bonds with their Pokémon.
* TheFatalist: Played with. Part of her theme during her battle against Marinette is how everything has a set path to their inevitable outcomes, ironically referencing in "Backwarder" her goal to change the past due to a misunderstanding between her and Fu. She even questions Marinette what her belief in fate is, asking if her victory was a result of her determination or that it was inevitable.
* MakingASplash: Her Starmie, which is part-Water-type.
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: The phases of Marianne's Gym battle have Valerie's and Olympia's battles from the anime combined: the former using Trick Room as the final phase while the latter uses dual Future Sight]].
* NeverMessWithGranny: She can be assumed to be as old as Fu and is a tough Gym Leader.
* PsychicPowers: Has clairvoyance, a degree of levitation, and specializes in Psychic-types.
* {{Seer}}: What Marianne is in this story and fittingly owns a Xatu.
* SecretKeeper: She knows Fu and the importance of his role. She also knows the true identities of Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir due to her clairvoyance.
* StealthMentor: Downplayed. Throughout Marinette's Gym battle, [[spoiler: Marianne enforces the concepts of fate by berating Marinette's lack of preparedness whenever Marianne had the upper hand and saying how her loss was inevitable, but it only spurred [[{{Determinator}} Marinette]] to push forward despite the overwhelming odds]].
* StealthPun: Her name in the show is meant to reference the Marianne symbol for French resistance during World War II. With her Psychic powers in this story it unintentionally serves as an homage to Marie Anne Lenormand, a famous fortune teller from the Napoleonic era.
* SupportPartyMember: Xatu's only offensive moves are Psychic and Future Sight. Her other moves are [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]] and Trick Room.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Initially before Marianne's debut in the main show, the role of Anistar Gym Leader was given to Simon Grimault. Instead, he is Marianne's top apprentice, designated to succeed her once she decides to retire.

!!Kalos Elite Four and Champion

[[folder: Gabriel Agreste]]
Adrien's father, the current reigning Kalos Champion, and successful Kalos fashion designer. Strict, disciplined and aloof, Gabriel is the ultimate challenge for any contenders of the Kalos League. He is also well-known to be an elusive celebrity and is a perfectionist; in his fashion designs, Pokémons, his son and his legacy, and most of all, his ideal of beauty. [[spoiler:He is also Poison Moth, Team Akuma Leader.]]
%%Tropes that apply to Poison Moth should remain in the Poison Moth folder, at least for the time being.
-----
* AbusiveParents: Just like in the show, while he's not physically abusive, Gabriel can be emotionally abusive when grooming Adrien to become his successor. Aside from micromanaging his son's life in order to succeed him as Kalos Champion, [[spoiler: he posed a challenge to Trainers to be merciless to his son if they aspire to compete in the Kalos League. Basically sending a horde of trainers to challenge his son in order to test his son's abilities]]. Moreover Nino reveals in Chapter 41 the details of Adrien's [[TrainingFromHell training]] when he was around Manon's age. [[spoiler: Specifically, Gabriel had his assistant Nathalie oversee Adrien's battle training under his supervision while [[ToughLove ordering her to not hold back]], [[WouldHurtAChild even if he was a child back then]]]].
* TheAce: The Kalos region's strongest Trainer and top fashion designer.
* BrutalHonesty: In Chapter 41, [[spoiler: Gabriel doesn't even attempt to hide the fact that he's less than impressed of Adrien's performance during his [[CurbStompBattle one-sided]] exhibition match against his son, pointing out the mistakes he made.]]
* DiagonalCut: Gabriel's [[spoiler: Mega Absol's Megahorn]] inflicts this on Adrien's [[spoiler: [[SuperMode Mega Gallade]]]] during their exhibition match, which is described to take the form of a SinisterScythe.
%% * {{Expy}}: Of Lysandre in regards to his views of beauty and perfection.
* FamedInStory: He's a famous fashion designer and the most powerful trainer in the Kalos region. He's also known to be elusive to the public, only appearing in important events and even then he rarely shows up for those.
* FashionDesigner: On top of being the reigning Kalos Champion, he is a world-renowned fashion designer and Marinette's idol. [[spoiler: He may be the one who designed the uniforms for Team Akuma, ironically as they are described to be gaudy by character]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: His call to Adrien at the end of Chapter 56, letting him know he'll be very busy for the next few days and cannot by bothered no matter what. While this may come off as typical, [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] dryly by Adrien himself, [[spoiler: it is hinted that the "quarry" Gabriel is after might be [[OlympusMons Yveltal]], as he now has the means to locate the embodiment of death since Chapter 52]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: During his harsh TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to his son after their exhibition match, Gabriel noted that Adrien slacked off during his Mega Evolution training, as he could've started after his third Gym Battle in Shalour City since Adrien had all the tools he needed by that point. [[WillfullyWeak Including the Dawn Stone he used in Chapter 40]]. Needless to say, Adrien doesn't deny the accusation that he could've evolved Kirlia earlier]].
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Given the revelation by the end of Chapter 50, Gabriel probably upset Nino on purpose in Chapter 42 to leave him vulnerable for a Team Akuma ambush]].
* ParentalNeglect: Like in the original show, Gabriel is distant from his son Adrien, only checking up on him so often in regards to grooming Adrien to succeed him and become the next Kalos Champion.
* ThePerfectionist: His goal in life is to achieve beauty and perfection, both as the Kalos Champion and a fashion designer. Which was why [[spoiler: he was disappointed with Adrien's performance in his exhibition match]].
* PetTheDog: Near the end of Chapter 52, he calls Adrien, not to check up on his Gym progression as usual, but to check up on his son's safety and wellbeing out of genuine concern. [[spoiler: Especially when he feared that Adrien would be caught up in Team Akuma's scheme around the area]].
* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Absol's Mega Evolution]].
* ToughLove: Harsh as he is regarding the treatment towards his own son [[spoiler: such as encouraging all Trainers working to qualify for the Kalos to battle Adrien on the spot]], Gabriel does love Adrien and believes he has his best interest on heart.
* TransformationTrinket: He keeps his Key Stone hidden within his blazer while [[spoiler: his Absol]] wears his Mega Stone in a tie that matches his Trainer's.
* WeaponOfChoice: His [[spoiler: Absol]].
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Just like in the show, Gabriel is rarely around Adrien's life, always busy with his role as the Kalos Champion and promoting his Pokémon-inspired clothing line overseas. In fact, [[spoiler: he left Adrien's [[TrainingFromHell strict and harsh training schedule]] to his assistant Nathalie]]. In Chapter 41, [[spoiler: Adrien attempts to ask his father on if he could visit him more often before their exhibition match begun, only for his request to fall on deaf ears]].
* WorldsBestWarrior: As the Champion, he's ''the'' most skilled trainer in the Kalos region. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, he's also the leader of the notorious Team Akuma who threatens Kalos]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Nathalie Sancoeur]]
Fire Specialist of the Elite Four. Also works as Gabriel's assistant in managing his fashion business. She has known and worked with the Agreste family for an unknown amount of time as she was also involved in Adrien's training regimen during his early childhood, mostly doing so in Gabriel's behalf.
-----
* TheDragon: Is naturally Gabriel's [[spoiler: and Poison Moth's]] second-in-command.
%% * {{Expy}}: Of Malva, from specializing in Fire-types [[spoiler:to her association with the villainous team]].
* {{Irony}}: Usually, Trainers that own or specialize in Fire-type Pokémon are HotBlooded in personality. [[TheStoic Nathalie]] is anything but. [[spoiler: Though according to Adrien, she does change along the lines of "like a switch going off in her head" when she gets into a battle]].
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Downplayed in Chapter 50. While she did show concern if Poison Moth was planning to turn Adrien into a Bond Hybrid, she still loyally serves him and isn't trying to dissuade him from continuing his horrific acts against Kalos]].
* PlayingWithFire: Her specialty.
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Is the only one that knows that Gabriel is Team Akuma's masked leader]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Jagged Stone]]
Dragon Specialist of the Elite Four. A popular rock star who is known to always be accompanied by his Krookodile, Fang.
-----
%% * {{Expy}}: Jagged Stone is a Dragon Expert and a rock star, much like Ryuki from Sun & Moon.
* GracefulLoser: He lost to Wang Cheng in their exhibition match in Chapter 45 but enjoyed the battle so much he didn't mind, congratulating Wang on his victory.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: With the exception of Fang, his team is comprised of Dragon-types. However, as a Krookodile, Fang is capable of learning Dragon-type moves.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Mega Salamence]].
* TransformationTrinket: His Key Stone is embedded in his [[InstrumentOfMurder guitar's head]] while [[spoiler: Salamence's]] Mega Stone is worn in a spiked chocker.

[[folder: Wang Cheng]]
Water Specialist of the Elite Four. Marinette's great-uncle and a renowned chef.
-----
* ChefOfIron: He's a world-renowned chef and one of the Elite Four.

-----
%% * {{Expy}}: Of Wikstrom.
* ExtraOreDinary: Uses Steel-types.

!!The "Miraculous Masters" / Defenders of Kalos

[[folder: As a whole]]
The main stars of the story, the ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' protagonists imported into the world of Pokémon. A pair of young Pokémon Trainers undergoing their [[ComingOfAgeStory individual journeys]] while taking it upon themselves to protect Kalos and loved ones after their first encounter with Team Akuma.

* {{Adorkable}}: Both are endearing both in and out of costume, especially when trying to impress their crushes.
* AffectionateNickname: Liepard Noir sometimes calls Lady Ledian "Scatterbug-a-boo" on top of the usual milady. Likewise, Lady Ledian refers to him as "[[JustForPun Pard]]" by his request, though she sees him more as a "silly Skitty."
* BadassAdorable: Both are pretty dorky and cute teens who are the beloved and heroic superheroes of their region.
* BattleCouple: Marinette wished she and Adrien were this, and she kind of got her wish, [[ZigZagged zig zagged]] however. Like in the main series, the two aren't a couple but have romantic feelings for another and are Kalos defenders against Poison Moth. Problem is, like in the show, Marinette aka Lady Ledian is in love with Adrien while Adrien aka Liepard Noir is in love with Lady Ledian.
* BewareOfTheNiceOnes: Just as in the main series, both of them are generally sweet and nice people. If anyone hurts Adrien or endangers her friends, Marinette can be ''terrifying'' and Adrien will be absolutely merciless whenever his friends are at risk.
* TheChosenOne: After Master Fu witnessed Marinette and Adrien fighting back Team Akuma in their first encounter, he was impressed with their courage, deeming them worthy to wield the Earring of Xerneas (Marinette) and the Ring of Yveltal (Adrien). Though this is [[PlayingWithATrope played]] with as Master Fu [[TheChosenMany could have chosen more experienced trainers]], but chose two rookie trainers out of the lot. Master Fu explained while he chose them because both Marinette and Adrien displayed great potential, they decided themselves to don the masked hero persona to fight Team Akuma in order to protect their loved ones. He simply gave them the Key Stones that will help them in their endeavor.
* FriendlyRival: Both Marinette and Adrien are friends and rivals who help each other out during their journey, though mostly because Marinette CannotSpitItOut.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Despite their accomplishments in the story, both Marinette and Adrien suffer from their own doubts and insecurities.
** Marinette still retains some of her self-doubt and insecurities even when she has accomplished much both as a trainer and a superhero. She feels that Liepard Noir would be disappointed that Lady Ledian's civilian identity is just a clumsy girl with no real desire ToBeAMaster other than use it to impress her crush.
** Adrien hides his insecurities in regards to the expectations forced upon him to succeed his father. As Liepard Noir, he takes several jabs at his civilian identity as seen in Chapter 32.
* LargeHam: To varying degrees. Marinette tends to have DramaQueen tendencies on top of an overactive imagination when things go wrong in her attempts to impress Adrien. And then there's [[PungeonMaster Liepard Noir]] being the lovable goofball he is, even during times of crisis against Team Akuma.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: Just the same as from the main show, same dynamics and all.
* MagicalAccessory: Marinette's earring and Adrien's ring. They're [[TransformationTrinket Key Stones to help invoke Mega Evolution]], [[spoiler: but they also have drops of power from Xerneas and Yveltal, respectively. Power that can remove the forced Bond Hybrid transformation inflicted by Team Akuma from a person and their Pokémon and restore their integrity. They're why Poison Moth is openly launching attacks on Kalos to draw them out as he believes the Key Stones would lead him to the mentioned OlympusMons]].
* PaperThinDisguise: Unlike the main series where their costumes were produced by magic, Marinette and Adrien had to acquire their superhero costumes on their own (Marinette made her own while Adrien covertly used his wealth and resources to acquire his) and find opportunities to change without others finding out. But given that this is the [[JustifiedTrope Pokemon universe]], no one can really tell it’s them under the masks. They make Team Rocket proud.
* RedOniBlueOni: Zigzagged. Marinette is the emotional Red Oni to Adrien’s reserved Blue Oni. However, Lady Ledian is the collected Blue Oni compared to the reckless Red Oni that is Liepard Noir.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Again, they unknowingly have eyes only for each other, [[spoiler: even with the likes of Kagami and Luka introduced into the story, but even then, these new character don't show much romantic interest at their intended targets]].
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Zigzagged. In general, Marinette is the Performer to Adrien’s Technician. But in their hero costumes, Lady Ledian focuses more on tactics while Liepard Noir, despite being [[InformedAttribute highly educated on Pokémon moves and abilities]], is more bold and reckless in his battle style.
* ToBeAMaster: Averted for both. Marinette doesn't have the desire to be the next Champion and is only competing in the Kalos League so that she can be close to Adrien. Adrien on the other hand is only competing because he feels everyone pressuring him to follow in his father's footsteps and he hopes winning the Kalos League would have his father come back to him.

[[folder: Marinette Dupain-Cheng / Lady Ledian]]
The leading protagonist we follow starting her Pokémon journey in the Kalos region, hoping to gain inspiration for her fashion designs and to learn more about Pokémon. She also aims in competing in the Kalos League in hopes of being closer to Adrien than she was back in Lumiose Trainer Academy. Is also part of the duo that actively thwarts Team Akuma's schemes, donning the persona of Lady Ledian.

* ActionGirl: Marinette, naturally as she is a Pokémon trainer and takes this UpToEleven as her Kalos defender counterpart, Lady Ledian, when it comes to facing Team Akuma.
* AsleepInClass: It has been mentioned that Marinette often dozes off or daydreams about Adrien during their Trainer School days in Lumiose City. Marinette regrets this whenever she can't remember important facts or details during their lecture when they later become important in her journey.
* BerserkButton:
** Don't belittle Adrien in front of her, as the audience in Chapter 41 soon experienced [[TranquilFury via her Gardevoir's Psychic]].
** Never insult or demean her Pokémon in anyway.
** She doesn't take it too kindly whenever someone insults her love for Adrien as a 'fangirl phase'.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** When calling upon her Ledyba/Ledian, Marinette uses “Tikki, spots on!”
** Also, when Marinette catches a new Pokémon or wins a gym badge, she yells, “Miraculous Ledyba/Ledian!” The Ledyba/Ledian part depended on the stage Tikki is in.
** [[spoiler: For Mega Evolving Gardevoir, she says "Grace on! Mega Evolve!"]]
* ChefOfIron: Like her great-uncle, Marinette's noted to be an excellent baker and trainer who also happens to be a masked superhero.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Is prone to jealousy whenever a girl flirts or gets too close for comfort to Adrien, which causes her to act irrationally when pushed too far, but she reserves this for Chloé and later Lila. [[spoiler: Lila's act of leading Adrien away and [[ForcefulKiss kissing him]] was enough to impulsively drive Marinette to wear her Lady Ledian mask and just like in the main show, it made her call out Lila on her lies in Chapter 48, humiliating Lila in from of Adrien, which renders her vulnerable to become Team Akuma's Bond Hybrid]].
** Ironically, [[CasanovaWannabe Liepard Noir]] tries to invoke this on Lady Ledian when he was giving Alya attention after [[spoiler: saving Xavier at the Kalos Power Plant]] near the end of Chapter 33. [[SubvertedTrope Lady Ledian teasingly boops him back on the nose in response]].
** Downplayed in Chapter 52 [[spoiler: when Liepard Noir was getting close to the new heroine, Delphox Rouge, though it was more out of annoyance that her Pard was being distracted during a confrontation against Team Akuma. However, it is hinted that her hidden negativity caused her Gardevoir to lose her Mega Evolution early again]].
* CombatPragmatist: Her battle style since her Pokémon in general are not particular powerhouses.
* CrushBlush: Marinette’s default reaction around Adrien early on in the story, often described to [[UpToEleven ridiculous levels]].
* CuteClumsyGirl: She's noted to be quite clumsy, especially early on in the story where she often trips on her own feet and whenever around Adrien. Though when she's Lady Ledian, she becomes more competent.
* CutenessProximity: Her common reaction towards [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter small, cute Pokémon]] like Pikachu and Dedenne. Unfortunately both are [[ShockAndAwe Electric-Type]] [[HarmlessElectrocution Pokémon]]. HilarityEnsues.
* DudeMagnet: While not as pronounced as in the main show, Marinette is still considered attractive to many. Nathaniel was attracted to her prior to the story before it was mentioned he got over her. And [[spoiler: Luka]] displayed some vague interest towards her while in Laverre City. As Lady Ledian, she has a number of fanboys as seen in Chapter 49. And then there's [[LovesMyAlterEgo Liepard Noir]].
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: If Alya's intel is anything to go by, Lady Ledian has her fair share of female admirers as with her male admirers.
* FashionDesigner: An aspiring fashion designer who hopes to gains inspiration for her designs while travelling through Kalos.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: As her parents own a bakery, Marinette has some skills in baking, particularly bakery goods and Poké Puffs that her Pokémon enjoy. This is shown in Chapter 34 where, with the help of her party, baked plenty of goods for both Adrien and her Pokémon team. Alya has encouraged her to use her baking skills more often to [[ThroughHisStomach increase her chances with Adrien]].
* GenkiGirl: Constantly optimistic and full of energy despite suffering crippling self-esteem issues and getting flustered around Adrien.
* GibberishOfLove: Early in the story, she'd often mix up words in her sentences whenever she's in the presence of Adrien.
* GirlishPigtails: Wouldn't be Marinette without the hairstyle.
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: She's not a big fan of horror. She was terrified when she and Alya ventured through the Scary House in Chapter 44 and dreads the thought of a Darkrai visiting her in the dead of night while she sleeps.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Her Pokémon team mostly consists of either cute or feminine Pokémon, often has romantic fantasies about Adrien and is an aspiring fashion designer. That being said, she's also a Pokémon Trainer competing for the Kalos League and was willing to rock-climb in the Cyllage Gym.
* GracefulLoser: In Chapter 55 [[spoiler: after losing to Chloé in their rematch and despite her rival's UnsportsmanlikeGloating, Marinette keeps it together long enough to actually congratulate Chloé on her victory, which actually sours it for her as Chloé wanted Marinette to be miserable over it]] Though downplayed as[[spoiler: she does still feel saddened over the fact that she lost to Chloé of all people, which she shows after Chloé left]].
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Or rather luck, as it has played as a decisive factor in Marinette's battle style.
* HeavySleeper: Has required Alya using her Elekid to shock her awake, but she has been getting better [[spoiler: since Alya is not always around during her journey]].
* HeWillNotCrySoICryForHim: In Chapter 41, [[spoiler: after Adrien's loss against his father with the addition of Gabriel's harsh TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, he retreats to his favorite spot in Lumiose City's natural park. However, as the Champion Agreste's son, [[StepfordSmiler he can't cry in front of anyone]], which Marinette soon noticed. When Marinette finds him, she realizes she's crying for him]].
--> '''Adrien''': It's ironic. I came here [[spoiler: after the match]] thinking I was going to cry. But as Champion Agreste's son, [[BrokenAce I can't]].\\
'''Marinette''': Then... let me cry for you. It's the least I could do.
* HeroicBSOD: She occasionally had these.
** Marinette suffers a brief and minor one in the Parfum Palace tag battle during the first round, wherein she is eliminated first and Adrien had to fight off [[OfficialCouple Ivan and Mylène]] on his own. Despite being able to move on to the next round, Marinette felt humiliated for holding Adrien back and ran off before Adrien found her and snapped her out of it.
** Happens again in Chapter 23 where Marinette nearly suffered this during her battle against Jalil's Mega Lucario when the odds seems against her and she begins to freak out. It is only when Alya [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan snaps her out of it]] by giving her [[RousingSpeech a speech that reminded her of her goal]].
** When Marinette faced Team Akuma for the first time as Lady Ledian, she was affected by the grunts taunts because of how [[VillainHasAPoint true]] and [[AccidentalTruth accurate]] they are to an extent. Liepard Noir's timely rescue and [[ShutUpHannibal shutting down their taunts]] helped her find the courage she needed to face them.
** A subtle one happens ever since [[spoiler: the Lila incident since Chapter 47, where Marinette's unable to keep her Gardevoir in her Mega Evolved form for too long and both end up exhausted. It's implied that her negative feelings like jealousy are the root of the cause]].
* HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler: During her fight against Lila's Mawile, when Gardevoir appeared to have gain the upper, Alya encourages Marinette to use Mega Evolution to keep that advantage. Marinette refuses because Lila won't Mega Evolve her Mawile and she doesn't want to stoop to [[ConsummateLiar Lila's]] level in order to win. This results in Marinette falling for Lila's trap and losing the match]].
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Along the lines of her CombatPragmatist battle style, Lady Ledian has no qualms in harming people if it means stopping Bond Hybrids from wreaking havoc while Liepard Noir tries to find riskier alternatives to avoid unnecessarily harming innocent lives. [[spoiler: A good example would be attacking Mega Pidgeot with her Kirlia's Thunderbolt, even though the electrocution would also affect Mr. Pidgeot, who is riding on Mega Pidgeot's back on top of sharing the pain through their forced power bond]].
* ImagineSpot: As usual, Marinette's imagination tends to go to the extreme for either the best or the worst possible consequences, usually the latter due to worrying about either losing a Pokémon battle or getting Adrien to notice her. All played for laughs.
* MamaBear: Marinette in regards to [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Togepi]], the youngest member of her team. [[spoiler: Her nurturing nature allowed Togepi to evolve into Togetic]].
* MotorMouth: Whenever she gets nervous or recounting her fantasies (especially when they involve Adrien), Marinette has a tendency to ramble on at a fast pace.
* NiceGirl: Marinette's a sweet and kind girl to her friends, former classmates and Pokémon. After capturing Sewaddle, she offers a Poké Puff to the Sewing Pokémon as an apology for their rough start, showing no resentment. [[spoiler: Her genuine kindness towards Spinda due to her understanding of being clumsy was the reason why he became fond of her]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In Chapter 48, Marinette's jealousy gets the better of her when she embarrasses Lila in front of Adrien, [[spoiler: even though she had a reason to as Lila forcibly kissed Adrien against his will]]. This indirectly causes Lila to be vulnerable to Team Akuma's ambush [[spoiler: and subsequently, Marinette's inability to keep Gardevoir's Mega Form]].
* ThePerfectionist: Downplayed but Marinette often worries of failing to be a worthy trainer in Adrien's eyes despite not being asked to be perfect by him.
* PluckyGirl: Despite having her moments of nearly despairing, she stays optimistic and determined no matter what predicament she's in.
* ThePollyanna: She always remain positive and upbeat, [[spoiler: especially after the group was separated in Glittering Cave and after Ivan's kidnapping during their first encounter with Team Akuma]].
* RedIsHeroic: Lady Ledian's outfit, although it's not entirely red due to being modeled after Ledian. The red is mostly on her mask, scarf, and shoes.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Half of Marinette's team are comprise of adorable Pokémon, such Tikki her Ledyba/Ledian, Sewaddle/Swadloon/Leavanny and Togepi/Togetic.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Wears one as Lady Ledian, which resembles Ledian's elytra.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Has been subjected to the HarmlessElectrocution RunningGag.
* SoProudOfYou: Marinette takes pride in raising her Pokémon, so she'll have this reaction whenever they evolve. This is evident for Togepi, a baby Pokémon whom Marinette raised with all her heart.
* StalkerWithACrush: Marinette wouldn't like to let Adrien know she used to memorize his daily schedule.
* StealthExpert: Marinette's quite stealthy and was able to hide from Adrien and Nino when they were at the same Pokémon Centre in Chapter 34.
* StepfordSmiler: Marinette manages to keep her cheerful façade together in Chapter 55 [[spoiler: after she lost to Chloé in their second match, even congratulating the latter on her victory]]. Alya commends her for it, as it would be something she herself cannot do.
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Marinette's shown to be making clothes with the help of her Sewaddle/Swadloon/Leavanny's silk and Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir's assistance during her journey and is definitely a girly-girl.
* TranquilFury: Marinette whenever when she's pushed to her limits [[spoiler: such as certain audience members [[BerserkButton belittling Adrien]] following his crushing defeat by his father's hand in Chapter 41 and calling out Lila on her lies as [[ClingyJealousGirl revenge]] for [[ForcefulKiss kissing Adrien]] in Chapter 48]].
* TransformationTrinket: She received a Key Stone in the form of a pair of earrings courtesy of Master Fu [[spoiler: and is connected to Xerneas]]. Her Gardevoir has a Gardevoirite that is kept as a pin to hold a shawl that Marinette made for Gardevoir.
* TookALevelInBadass: In the flashback in Chapter 1, Marinette was timid and she feared that experience in Professor Damocles' lab before Tikki and Adrien helped her. After starting her Pokémon journey and later becoming Lady Ledian, she becomes more assertive and confident; improving her skills as a Trainer and hero.
* {{Tsundere}}: She's a mild Type-B. Marinette's normally sweet and kind, but Liepard Noir brings out her tsun-tsun side when dealing with his humor, cockiness, or attempts to flirt with her, both in and out of costume. She shares this with her [[BirdsOfAFeather Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir]].
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: [[spoiler: Although she isn't Adrien's girlfriend, in Chapter 41, the audience are spilt on Adrien's performance after the exhibition match and several trainers begin dissing Adrien. Marinette had just about enough of Adrien being badmouth and [[TranquilFury has her Gardevoir use Psychic to make everyone involved in the fight float above the ground so they would stop]]]].
* WeakButSkilled: Marinette's Pokémon aren't powerhouses compared to Adrien's, a fact she herself acknowledges. She makes up for this through making use of her Pokémon's abilities, [[AwesomeByAnalysis analyzing her surroundings]] and uses her quick thinking to devise or adapt her strategies during battles.
* WhatTheHellHero: Just like in the show [[spoiler: Adrien calls out on Lady Ledian for how harsh and cruel she was when exposing Lila as the fraud she is in Chapter 48, humiliating her. Granted, he acknowledges he's not going to forgive Lila anytime soon after [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace she violated his personal space]] and [[ForcefulKiss stealing]] [[SacredFirstKiss his first kiss]], but won't stoop to her level just to get back at her. [[JerkAssRealization This]] [[ItsAllMyFault has]] ''both'' contemplating on they could've handled the situation better than they initially did]].
* {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs. Finding out that Adrien was injured [[spoiler: as Liepard Noir during the battle against Mr. Pidgeot in Chapter 33]] caused Marinette to briefly adopt a [[DullEyesOfUnhappiness dark expression]] and tells Alya over the phone that she would "send the evildoers to the Distortion World in a bag." Would extend to ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend, but she's technically not Adrien's girlfriend... yet. Alya does call her out on it, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall telling her not to change the direction of the story into a "trashy attempt at romantic horror."]]
** Again played for dark laughs in Chapter 45 when Marinette imagines herself dying alone and having her ghost haunt Adrien's home and give his supposed wife her unholy revenge while convincing the living Adrien to join her in the afterlife. Even Alya was creeped out by her ImagineSpot.
* ZanyScheme: Alix mentions in Chapter 56 that Marinette came up with a lot of insane schemes just to get together with Adrien and prevent any girl from getting close to him during their days in the academy.

[[folder: Marinette's Pokémon]]
Throughout her journey, Marinette has encountered countless Pokémon in the Kalos region, including those who end up joining her. Whether it was through the usual Pokéball method or the aspiring fashion designer befriended them, Marinette shares a close bond with her team as they strive to be the best they can be while accompanying her on her journey. Although not reliant on pure power, they prove to be a formidable team with the combination of having some tricks up their sleeves, Marinette's quick-thinking, and a bit of luck.

* BadassAdorable: The majority of her team are comprised of cute-looking Pokémon who are all competent in Pokémon battles. Even her not-so-cute-ones; specifically Feebas, can surprisingly be [[UglyCute consider cute in a way]]. Her Gardevoir and Leavanny were cute back when they were Ralts/Kirlia and Sewaddle/Swadloon respectively before both evolving into LadyOfWar.
* {{Determinator}}: Marinette's team shares their trainer's strong will and strive to improve themselves. This sprit is also what keeps them going during tough battles.
* MagikarpPower: Three of Marinette's Pokémon started off with low stats and limited movepool sets, but under Marinette's care they can/were able to fully realize their potential:
** Ralts has low stats and can be easily knocked out and out speed despite knowing Confusion as shown in her earlier battles. She improves when she evolves into Kirlia and learning Draining Kiss and Thunder but it's evolving into her final form, Gardevoir, does she become a powerful GlassCannon with high Special Attack and Special Defense.
** Togepi due to the fact she's a baby Pokémon and doesn't have high stats, something that Jalil pointed out during Marinette's Shalour Gym Battle. Evolving into Togetic from the close bond she shares with Marinette makes her a StoneWall, but her offensive stats are still low. Once she evolves into Togekiss via Shiny Stone, she becomes a MightyGlacier.
** Feebas is Magikarp's equivalent, but she can evolve into the beautiful and defense-oriented LightningBruiser Milotic.
* PoorPredictableRock: Her team downplays this as they are a mixture of Pokémon, but it's noted that half of her team are weak against [[ShockAndAwe Electric-Types]] (Tikki, Togepi/Togetic, Feebas) and [[AnIcePerson Ice-Types]] (Tikki, Sewaddle/Swadloon/Leavanny, Togepi/Togetic). Naturally, the Lumiose City Gym prove to a challenge due to specializing in Electric-Types.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Most of her Pokémon are absolutely adorable, especially her Togepi/Togetic and Spinda.
* TrueCompanions: One of the reasons why Marinette's growing into a competent Pokémon trainer is because of the close bond she formed with her party. In return, her team continues to support her during the journey as she does for them.

!!Ledyba/Ledian (Tikki)
Marinette's starter Pokémon. Met at Professor Damocles's Pokémon reserve. Loyal and caring like her Kwami counterpart.

* ActionGirl: Tikki is of Marinette's key Pokémon in battles, having defeated several of the Gym Leader's strongest Pokémon. Particularly during Marinette's battle against the Shalour Gym Leader where she faced off against a Mega Evolved Lucario and ''won''.
* ActionInitiative: Learns Mach Punch [[spoiler: upon evolving into Ledian during the final battle against Jalil's Mega Lucario]].
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Tikki is part Bug-Type and knows Silver Wind. [[spoiler: She learns Bug Buzz during her match against Kagami's Bisharp in Chapter 60]].
* BlowYouAway: Tikki is also part Flying-Type and one notable Flying-Type moveset she has is Acrobatics.
* {{Flight}}: As a Ledyba/Ledian, she naturally knows how to fly.
* FragileSpeedster: Tikki's a Ledyba/Ledian, she has above average Speed, but has terrible HP, Defense and offensive stats.
* AHandfulForAnEye: Not exactly for an eye, but [[spoiler: Tikki unintentionally helped Marinette discover this as part of her trainer's tactic in countering Nadja's Electric Pokémon in their Gym battle [[ChekhovsGun (which was discovered during her practice battle against Alya and Electabuzz)]] by having Tikki punch up dirt and cover them in it to hinder their electricity. It was described as "a crude form of Mud Sport," [[FridgeBrilliance which weakens electric power]]. It worked on Emolga.]]
* HeadPet: As a smaller Ledyba, she would sometimes perch on top of Marinette's head when outside her Poké Ball.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: She certainly has more than one pair of limbs to use for punches, specifically Comet Punch. Even as a Ledian, she has four limbs more pronounced as actual arms, each capable of performing a Mach Punch if the situation calls for it.
* ParrotPetPosition: She would also rest on Marinette's shoulders time to time.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Initially knew Comet Punch as Ledyba before using the more proficient Mach Punch. Her Iron Fist enhances all punch-related moves.
* SilentSnarker: Not to the same extent as [[CatsAreSnarky Plagg]], but given her trainer can be a tad absent-minded, Tikki's not above being amused by her trainer.
* StarterMon: Marinette's first Pokémon.
* StoneWall: As a Ledyba/Ledian, Tikki's above average Special Defense has helped her stay in the battle longer than she should have. [[spoiler: Which has enabled Tikki to keep on fighting and earning Marinette victory in the Santalune Gym and Shalour Gym]].
* SweetTooth: Loves Poké Puffs and cookies.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Her antennae are short as to signify she's a female.
* TookALevelInBadass: Since the start of the story Tikki has grown from a simple Ledyba to a Ledian who's able to defeat a Mega Evolved Lucario and [[spoiler: Tom's Sceptile in battle]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tikki is said to enjoy Poké Puffs aside from cookies.


!!Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir
Marinette's second Pokémon, caught at the same time Adrien catches her friend. Encountered in Route 4. Shy and withdrawn at first, she opens up and grows in confidence the same time Marinette does during her journey.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: From Chapter 47 onwards, Gardevoir wears a red and black spotted shawl that Marinette made for her, which is held by a Gardevoirite.
* ActionGirl: She has become a powerful dual Psychic and Fairy-Type Pokémon who's capable of Mega Evolving.
* BerserkButton: As with Marinette over Adrien, don't hurt or insult Adrien's Gallade.
* BewareOfTheNiceOnes: Like her trainer, she's normally a sweet and demure Pokémon, but get on her bad side and she'll subject you with [[MindOverMatter Psychic]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: Shares a lot of personality traits with Marinette.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Knew Adrien's Ralts prior to being captured by their respective Trainers.
* DanceBattler: Like her [[{{Ballet}} design]] when she evolves to Kirlia, she's been described to be dodging with grace and elegance, often pirouetting when on the battlefield.
* TheDragonslayer: One of the virtues of being a part Fairy-Type is that she's strong and immune against Dragon-Types.
* GlassCannon: She's quite the powerhouse capable of tremendous Psychic attacks both in and out of battle. That being said, she has lackluster HP, Speed and Defense, which is shown in the Parfum Tag-Team battle, the Shalour Gym Battle and the Lumiose Gym Battle.
* GreenThumb: Knows Magical Leaf.
* GuardianAngel: Her species are based on this. As much as she reprimands Gallade's recklessness in protecting her, [[NotSoDifferent she will protect Marinette even at the cost of her life]], as shown in Chapter 51. She represents Marinette's status as one of the defenders of Kalos.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: As part of the Gardevoir line, she wears an elegant dress in both her normal and Mega Evolved form all the while dishing out powerful Psychic attacks. Marinette was even inspired by the elegant features for her designs.
* KissOfDeath: She knows Draining Kiss when she evolves from a Ralts to a Kirlia.
* LadyAndKnight: The Lady to Adrien's Gallade's Knight.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: Gardevoir fits, with her feminine and elegant design, high Special Attack stats and her association with magical powers.
* LadyOfWar: Once she evolves into Gardevoir, carrying an air of elegance and grace while in battle.
* LifeDrain: Draining Kiss heals Gadevoir with the energy she steals from her opponent.
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: The Mega Evolution TransformationSequence for Gardevoir is described to match Ladybug's transformation from the show]].
* PsychicPowers: Is part Psychic-Type and knows Psychic.
* PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: [[spoiler:She's been unable to maintain her Mega Evolved form for long starting from dealing with Lila in Chapter 48. The narration has described how Gardevoir's psychic powers [[PsychoactivePowers are dependent on Marinette's emotional stability]] and has warned that negative emotions Marinette harbors would bring disunity to their bond]].
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: She's part Fairy-Type and knows [[KissOfDeath Draining Kiss]].
* ShockAndAwe: Knows Thunderbolt, presumably learned from Alya's Elekid.
* ShrinkingViolet: She started out this way as a Ralts, being timid and easily frightened as shown by how she met Marinette. [[CharacterDevelopment She loses this when she evolved into Kirlia during Marinette's second Gym Battle, gaining more confidence]].
* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Is able to Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir]].
* {{Synchronization}}: She has the ability Synchronize, which afflicts opponents with StandardStatusEffects that the user takes. So far this ability fails to be utilized twice due to the fact the opponents are Pokémon who are immune to the effects they were inflicted (Poison on a Poison-Type and Paralysis on an Electric-Type). [[spoiler: She is also well-synchronized with Marinette for the most part, such as [[BirdsOfAFeather sharing many personality traits with her]]. It gets to the point that anything that throws their bond into disunity, such as Marinette's negative feelings and doubts, would greatly impede their ability to work well, the prominent problem being Gardevoir timing out of her Mega Evolution]].
* TakingTheBullet: [[InvokedTrope She was prepared to protect Lady Ledian]] from a pair of Team Akuma Houndour in Chapter 51, [[spoiler: only for Liepard Noir's [[NotSoDifferent Gallade to intercept it and take the hit instead]], protecting both girls]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Ralts evolution into Kirlia where she won her first Gym battle, losing her initially timidity in the progress. She ups the ante with her evolution into Gardevoir near the end of the Lumiose City Siege and gaining the means to Mega Evolve.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type-B. Like her trainer, she is usually sweet and down-to-earth, but when around Adrien's Gallade, his antics often results in this reaction.

!!Sewaddle/Swadloon/Leavanny
Marinette's third Pokémon. Encountered at Santalune City. Represents Marinette's fashion designer aspect.

* ActionGirl: Her introduction established her as a brave Pokémon even as a Sewaddle and was the first Pokémon Marinette used in her debut as Lady Ledian.
* AllWebbedUp: Aside from using String Shot to swing herself around, she also uses the move under its conventional uses to wrap up and slow down opponents in resilient silk.
* BarrierWarrior: Learned the skill [[NoSell Protect]] ever since Sewaddle evolved into Swadloon, which compensates for her poor Defense.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Is part Bug-type [[spoiler: and learns X-Scissor upon evolving into Leavanny]].
* BigEater: Marinette first discovers her when Sewaddle decided to eat her discarded sketch papers, thinking they were up for grabs. The narration in Chapter 34 stated that she had to be held back from eating the pastries and Poké Puffs Marinette was baking. Even as a Leavanny she still hasn't lost it.
* BuildingSwing: She utilizes String Shot to move around in higher ground, which helps her gain momentum and avoiding attacks.
* ButtBiter: During her first fight against Tikki, she used Bug Bite on her exposed carapace.
* CuteLittleFangs: As a Sewaddle, she had these.
* EnergyBall: She knows the move of the same name.
* FashionDesigner: Was selected to become one of Marinette's Pokémon because of this matching role. Has also helped Marinette out time to time in making new clothes with her strong and soft silk during their journey, [[spoiler: particularly on her Lady Ledian costume]].
* FragileSpeedster: She relies a lot on her Speed to dodge and is fairly strong, but she can barely withstand to take a hit, especially her vulnerabilities.
* GreenThumb: Is part Grass-type and knows Energy Ball.
* ManBitesMan: When she was a Sewaddle, she knew Bug Bite.
* MundaneUtility: Her String Shot is often used by Marinette as silk material whenever making new fashion items.
* StealthExpert: Leavanny's speed makes her quick and nible especially when taking her enemies by surprise. [[spoiler: She snuck around and managed to hit Marianne's Starmie from behind with X-Scissor when they were distracted by Marinette's Togekiss]].
* TranquilFury: Swadloon barely emotes, but was noted to have her normally bored expression to show fury when she was insulted by Chloé.

!!Togepi/Togetic/Togekiss
Marinette's fourth Pokémon, hatched from a Pokémon Egg. Obtained from winning a tag-team tournament in Parfum Palace. Represents Marinette's good luck. Lucky Charm!
-----
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest member on Marinette's team and has an appropriately cheery and childlike personality.
* BewareOfTheNiceOnes: She's the sweetest and the most innocent among Marinette's team. That being said, don't underestimate her just because she's a baby nor do you threaten her adoptive mother.
* BlowYouAway: After she evolves into Togetic, becoming part Flying-Type and growing a pair of small wings. Knows Air Slash as Togekiss.
* CheerfulChild: Part of her nature.
* ComesGreatResponsibility: The factor that spurs Togetic [[spoiler: to evolve into Togekiss in Chapter 56 after a painful loss against Chloé. Marinette wanted to make sure the basis of her and Togetic selecting evolution was from their mutual trust and desire to grow stronger together and not out of revenge against Chloé. There was a possibility Marinette feared had the intent to evolve [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity came from the latter]]]].
* ConfusionFu: Knows Metronome, which is known to be unpredictable due to randomly producing moves who's usefulness vary.
* EpicFail: One time she used Metronome, [[spoiler: which was against Manon and a wild Dedenne she befriended,]] it ended up in the move Splash.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Part Fairy-type and knows Dazzling Gleam.
* {{Flight}}: She grew a pair of wings that allows her to float as Togetic.
* LightEmUp: She knows Dazzling Gleam.
* LightIsGood: She's a brightly colored and benevolent Fairy and later part Flying-Type who spreads joy to her trainer and others.
* MamaBear: Inverted. She does not like it when her adoptive mother is insulted or hurt.
* MightyGlacier: Once she evolves into a Togekiss, she becomes a tank with incredible Special Attack stats. That being said, her Speed isn't that impressive. [[spoiler: Marinette took advantage of this during her Anistar Gym Battle in Chapter 56 when Marianne used Trick Room, decreasing her speed even more so she would be the fastest in the Trick Room physical laws]].
* MythologyGag: Her Metronome moveset and usage mirrors Ladybug's Lucky Charm ability in the show. [[spoiler: This is more prominent in Chapter 52 and in Chapter 56]].
* PsychicPowers: Knows Extrasensory.
* RandomEffectSpell: She knows Metronome, allowing her to use any kind of attack as the situation requires.
* TheRival: Develops a tense rivalry against Chloé's Murkrow/Honchkrow, given that they're of opposing types capable of flight.
* StandardStatusEffect: Knows Sweet Kiss, which causes confusion upon contact.
* StoneWall: As a Togetic, she has good defense and variety of supporting moves. However, she doesn't have the best offensive stats.
* SweetTooth: She was drooling over the Poké Puffs that were made by the Showcase Contestants in Chapter 50.

!!Feebas
Marinette's fifth Pokémon. Encountered at Azure Bay. Represents Marinette's growth to true beauty.

* AwesomeByAnalysis: [[spoiler:Is able to learn Ice Beam after watching Alya's Amaura use Aurora Beam, but was unable to master the move and still lost to her]].
* FlatCharacter: Is unfortunately hit with this due to her lack of screentime. It probably doesn't help that she's the Fish Pokémon and that the main characters haven't been around water where she could be used more. [[spoiler: She does get a bit of personality in Chapter 45 as a Pokémon that wants to work hard in getting stronger to earn the privilege to evolve into Milotic]]. When she does appear in the story, she [[SubvertedTrope does show some depth]]. See HiddenDepths for more details.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Like Magikarp, Feebas are only valued due to their ability to evolve into [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Milotic]] and would instantly evolve it once they gained the means for it. Marinette's Feebas however defies it; striving to improve herself in order to reach her full potential before she feels she deserves to evolve. [[spoiler: This is shown through her slowly mastering Ice Beam. Despite instantly learning it just by watching Alya's Amaura, she still had trouble controlling it. It isn't until with the help and guidance of Marinette and her great-uncle that she was finally able to control Ice Beam]]. Quite fittingly as she represents Marinette's determination to improve herself to fully realize her potential.
* HiddenDepths: Despite her perceived weakness, Feebas has shown to be perceptive and observant just like her trainer [[spoiler: which enabled her to learn Ice Beam just by observing Alya's Aurora Beam]]. In addition, the narration implies that she's a hard-worker who's determine to fully realize her potential to evolve into Milotic once she feels ready for it.
* AnIcePerson: [[spoiler: Learns Ice Beam and eventually masters it]].
* MakingASplash: A Water-type.
* StatusBuff: She has the ability Swift Swim, which doubles her Speed while it's raining.
* TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside: She represents growth and acceptance to her own inner beauty, especially when Marinette must help Feebas reach her potential before she can evolve into Milotic.
* TookALevelInBadass: Chapter 61 allows Feebas to make an official battle debut, showing off the fruits of her training under Marinette by utilizing Ice Beam speed up her Tackle attacks and even revealed to have learned Scald.
* WeakButSkilled: It's a given being a Feebas, but [[spoiler: she does pick up learning a powerful move like Ice Beam from observation alone and eventually mastering after a brief battle against Wang's Clawitzer later on]].

!!Spinda
Marinette's sixth and final Pokémon. Encountered at Anistar City. Represents Marinette's clumsy and cute traits.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: While working in Anistar Café, Spinda was wearing a blue bow-tie on his collar instead of on his head, the placement signifying him being a boy Pokémon.
* {{Adorkable}}: Spinda is known to be a naturally cute and clumsy Pokémon who's determination to help despite his own klutzy nature makes him endearing.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Spinda's erratic and unsteady movements gives him the natural talent of making excellent juice cocktails. Unfortunately, his unsteady and wonky movements also makes it difficult for him to deliver his homemade drinks or other orders to the customers without the risk of spilling them. And even the occurrence of a successful delivery is rare.
* TheBartender: Invoked for Spinda's character as part of the reference to Spinda's Café. Spinda is even described polishing a glass like a patient bartender during lunch time.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: Spinda became fond of Marinette when she showed genuine concern and kindness towards him because she understands the nature of being a klutz like him, unlike the other guests who did it out of social politeness. In addition, she came to his defense when he angered the several punks after accidentally spilling their orders]].
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Spinda is an oddball Pokémon who has a tendency to trip and roll around. However, his fight against the three punks reminds the owner that he was a Pokémon that came from Route 21, a route that leads to the Kalos League HQ. [[spoiler: Not to mention his fist-fight with Chloé's Weavile that was brutal for both parties]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: His similarities with Marinette include their [[TheKlutz klutziness]], [[{{Adorkable}} cuteness, and good hearts]].
* ConfusionFu: Spinda's battle style uses his attacks and unpredictable movements to confuse opponents.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Spinda is noted for his oddities whether it's for his reasons for following the café owner, his behavior or how he thinks. Heck, Spinda has ''forgotten'' the reason why he followed the owner back to Anistar City in the first place.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Spinda may be a huge klutz like Marinette, but in battle, he proves to be one wily foe to land a hit on.
* DanceBattler: He's always moving around in combat; through for him it's mostly tumbling and rolling around with little footing. He also knows Teeter Dance.
* DittoFighter: His Copycat.
* DrunkenMaster: Comes with being a Spinda, he even knows Teeter Dance and Dizzy Punch which confuses the opponent.
* FacePlant: In Chapter 55, he attempts to strike a cool pose when Marinette summons him during her rematch battle against Chloé... [[TheKlutz only to land face first on the hard floor]].
* HiddenDepths: He knows how to make excellent juice from working in a café in Anistar City, with the author likening him to a bartender of sorts.
* JackOfAllStats: Spinda's stats are evenly distributed though not particularly impressive, but he narrowly avoids being MasterOfNone in this context with his confusing movements and elusive behavior gimmick.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler: Gets into this against Chloé's Weavile in Chapter 55, brutally exchanging Dizzy Punches and Ice Punches until they both knock each other out]].
* NonElemental: He's a Normal-type and his revealed moves are all Normal.
* TheOneGuy: The only male Pokémon on Marinette's full team.
* PandaingToTheAudience: Spinda is a cute bear based on the qinling panda.
* PowerCopying: Knows Copycat.
* RealMenWearPink: His distinguished spot pattern is described to resemble a flower on his face.
* ShoutOut: To Spinda's Café of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]''.
* SixthRanger: Spinda is the last Pokémon to fill up Marinette's team.
* SpinAttack: Knows Rapid Spin.
* SpinToDeflectStuff: He knows Rapid Spin.
* StandardStatusEffects: His Dizzy Punch and Teeter Dance can inflict confusion.
* WingdingEyes: As a Spinda, he has swirls for eyes to indicate his perpetually dizzy state. Marinette has bit of difficulty to know what he's thinking or if he's awake because of his eyes.
* WouldHitAGirl: He won't go easy on female Pokémon. He engaged with [[spoiler: Chloé]]'s Weavile in an old-fashion fist-fight that left both beaten-up and bruised.

[[folder: Adrien Agreste / Liepard Noir]]
The deuteragonist of the story. Child prodigy of the Kalos Champion and groomed to be the next to take the title from him, Adrien yearns for more out of his Pokémon journey and to grow out of his father's shadow. The mysterious disappearance of his mother four years prior still haunts him. Also operates as the other half of the heroic duo actively thwarting Team Akuma, taking on the liberating mask of Liepard Noir.

* TheAce: As the Champion's son, Adrien's often called "Ace Trainer" due to being a ChildProdigy to the public and his friends look up to him.
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: The cold climate of Frost Cavern doesn't bother him unlike Lady Ledian, who had put on additional layers within her suit before going into action, in Chapter 51, indicating that he's used to the cold because of his [[TrainingFromHell early childhood training]] in the forests of Snowbelle City.
* ADayInTheLimeLight:
** Chapter 54 switches between him and Marinette, but it's Adrien [[spoiler: and his battle with Wayhem and meeting with Kagami]] whom the chapter mostly focus on.
** Chapter 58 is more focused on him, featuring his first battle against Kagami. [[spoiler: This chapter also addresses his utter loyalty to Lady Ledian, which begets his recklessness, according to Master Fu when he first met up with him. Kagami's honesty regarding his initial poor performance during their battle pulls him out of it, helping him develop his character beyond the sheltered boy that longs for affection]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Many, especially Marinette, view Adrien as this due to him being TheAce. It is through her desire to be close to him that Marinette aspires to be as strong as him one day. It is because of this that Adrien feels burdened to excel everyone's expectation to win the Kalos League.
* AmazonChaser: Like in the show, Adrien's attraction to Lady Ledian's bravery and skills as a Trainer.
* BadassBookworm: Adrien was described to be the top of Marinette's class, acing the practical exams, and has been highly educated on Pokémon moves and abilities.
* BerserkButton: Threatening his friends, [[spoiler: particularly Nino when Team Akuma got to him in Chapter 42,]] was enough to get Adrien/Liepard Noir to be [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness serious and edgy]].
* BeneathTheMask: As with the show, Adrien's of the "superhero as true self" variant. Adrien is well-known as the "Ace Trainer" and child prodigy because of his status as the Champion's son; thus has to maintain a perfect image due to heavy expectation place on him in succeeding his father. As a superhero, he's an adventurous and wisecracking CasanovaWannabe. Liepard Noir explains to Alya when she first interviews the duo that being Liepard Noir gives him the freedom to act in ways that he never could otherwise without delving too personal.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: As Liepard Noir, he is a wise-cracking Pokémon PungeonMaster. He is still a skilled trainer and [[spoiler: as Chapter 43 shows, when he stops joking, he is force to reckon with]].
* BrokenAce: Ranked at the top of Marinette's class at the Academy and has proven to be a very skillful Pokémon Trainer at a young age, on top of being well-liked by his peers and Pokémon alike. Underneath it all, Adrien suffers from ParentalNeglect and WellDoneSonGuy big time. Not to mention [[spoiler: he becomes the most targeted trainer to battle with after his father made his announcement [[ToughLove to show no mercy to his son]] if they want to compete in the Kalos League]].
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** Adrien uses “Plagg, claws out!" for sending out his Purrloin/Liepard.
** As Liepard Noir, he has been using "It's your Pard," which is likely inspired from Guzma's catchphrase from Sun & Moon.
** [[spoiler: For Mega Evolving Gallade, he says "Blades out! Mega Evolve!"]]
* CatBoy: As Liepard Noir, though he's based on a Pokémon who has both cat and leopard characteristics.
* ChickMagnet: Aside from [[ObliviousToLove unknowingly]] gaining Marinette's affections, he is highly popular due to his "[[TheAce Ace Trainer]]" status and natural good looks. He even has [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] and [[ConsummateLiar Lila]] smitten with him. It comes to the point that there was a huge majority of girls cheering for Adrien during the exhibition match against his father.
* ChildProdigy: Adrien's skills and in-depth knowledge at a young age had people calling him a prodigy.
* ChivalrousPervert: As Liepard Noir, he has no qualms with flirting Lady Ledian, but does put it on hold whenever she reminds him of the task at hand.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Liepard Noir's top priority is to ensure that [[UnwantedAssistance Lady Ledian is safe]] [[AngerBornOfWorry unless she has something to say about it]]. Even as Adrien, he decided to fight against Team Akuma to protect his friends [[spoiler: after the organization kidnapped Ivan]], not caring if he got hurt in the process.
* ClothingDamage: [[spoiler: Not played for fanservice and justified. In Chapter 51, two Grunts restrained Liepard Noir and had a pair of their Sneasel beat him up. Their sharp claws torn a bit of his costume around the midsection and mildly slashed his gut]].
* CombatPragmatist: In Chapter 42, [[spoiler: rather than face the two Team Akuma grunts in a Pokémon battle, [[CuttingTheKnot Liepard Noir opted to have his Marowak knock them out before they could even start a battle]]. Since his best friend has been turned into the latest Bond Hybrid, he's [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness not wasting any time on them]]]].
* CrazyJealousGuy: Downplayed in Adrien's case, in which overhearing guys in public talking about how they think they have a chance with Lady Ledian, as seen at the end of Chapter 49, annoys him while passively asserting to himself that he has [[EntitledToHaveYou greater entitlement]] to her than any other guy. [[spoiler: Although he seemed fine if the boy Trainers talking about her challenged him to a Pokémon battle since it would [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown allow him to vent out more stored frustration]]]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Pokémon Liepard Noir is based on is known as the "Cruel Pokémon" and it's pre-evolved form is known to steal on unsuspecting victims. Nonetheless, Liepard Noir proves to be a hero and a reliable partner to Lady Ledian. This is actually [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] between the two.
--> '''Lady Ledian''': I don't know. The Pokédex does say that Liepard is the ''Cruel'' Pokémon, after all. And its pre-evolved form, Purrloin, is known to steal when you least expect it. Not really inspiring much confidence, y'know.\\
'''Liepard Noir''': Ah, but remember that I break the stereotype of the boy hero dressed in black. ''(leans closer to Lady Ledian's face)'' [[CasanovaWannabe ... Unless you really want a bad boy for a sidekick]] ... ''[[AffectionateNickname my Lady]]''.~
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: In Chapter 51, he had Gallade protect Lady Ledian's Gardevoir, resulting in Gallade being incapacitated by two Houndour. This left Liepard Noir defenseless against the Team Akuma grunts surprise attack, a fact [[LampshadeHanging lamphaded]] by them]].
* DontCallMeSir: He hates being referred to as "Champion Agreste's son" as it strips him of his own identity.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: As seen in Chapter 54, [[spoiler: Wayhem's]] fanboying over him is on par with Marinette's.
* EpicFail: Liepard Noir attempted to invoke a HeroicSecondWind by throwing a Dawn Stone to his Kirlia to evolve him into Gallade during Team Akuma's attack on Lumiose City. He threw it to Lady Ledian's Kirlia instead. Cue the Dawn Stone having no effect on her.
* FriendlessBackground: Adrien, before the story begins, had a strict upbringing as a result of being groomed to become the next Kalos Champion after his father. The first time he was [[PetTheDog allowed around peers his age]] was at the beginning of Lumiose Trainer Academy, even though Gabriel could've had him [[TrainingFromHell train and learn about Pokémon in the frigid forests outside of Snowbelle City]].
* FriendToAllLivingThings: A rare male example. As shown by his encounter with the Ralts and Cubone, Adrien has a natural charm to him that draws them in. This likely came from Gabriel's strict training prior to his enrollment in Lumiose Academy.
* GenerationXerox: Adrien is expected to be the next Kalos Champion after Gabriel, but [[IAmNotMyFather his personal feelings on the matter might say otherwise]].
* GildedCage: How he felt about his life prior to Lumiose Academy and being a Pokémon trainer. He enjoys travelling across Kalos because he gets to explore different parts of the region and see all kinds of Pokémon.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Adrien has blonde hair and is extremely kind-hearted to both people and Pokémon alike.
* HeroicBSOD: It's very subtle and fortunately temporary, but [[spoiler: even since learning from Fu about his role in protecting Kalos and pointing out how his UndyingLoyalty to Lady Ledian is both a strength and [[TakingTheBullet a weakness]], Adrien has been distracted due to the conflict of these ideals. Battling Kagami and starting a friendship with her in Chapter 58 has begun to help him understand more about the meaning of Fu's words and to do more than simply throw his life away [[ExtremeDoormat for the sake of appeasing others]]]].
* HiddenDepths: As Liepard Noir when Marinette stumbles upon him in Chapter 51, he shares a rather excellent take on the concept of perfection being a process and not a state of being. It's likely he gained a better understanding of perfection because [[ThePerfectionist his father]] pushes him so much.
* HonorBeforeReason:
** At the end of Chapter 53, [[spoiler: the reason Adrien feels that he should keep going to the next Gym in Snowbelle City instead of going back to Anistar City to watch the Showcase has been due to [[PetTheDog his father showing more concern for his well-being]] as of recent starting from the end of Chapter 52. While it's good for Adrien to finally receive positive support from his father, it also lands him in potential trouble due to someone significant catching up to him, calling him out as the Champion's son]].
** In Chapter 58, [[spoiler: Adrien doesn't plan on Mega Evolving Gallade when Kagami reveals her Bisharp, stating that he wants it to be an even fight. The final round starts off somewhat evenly before Bisharp gets ahead due to Gallade not knowing any effective moves against the dual Dark and Steel-type. It's only after Kagami calls him out on his poor performance that Adrien shapes up, refocuses on a new strategy that culminates in Gallade learning Close Combat, and ending the battle in a draw]].
* IJustWantToBeFree: He'd rather not have the heavy expectations of succeeding his father as the next Kalos Champion. Adrien desires to travel around, make new friends, and enjoy the ups and downs of a normal Pokémon journey.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Why he wanted to enroll into Lumiose Academy four years prior to the story.
* JackOfAllStats: As to attest to his remarkable skill as a Trainer, he has a team with diverse roles. There's [[FragileSpeedster Plagg]], [[GlassCannon Pyroar]], [[spoiler: [[SuperMode Mega]]]] [[LightningBruiser Gallade]], [[SupportPartyMember Meowstic]], and [[MightyGlacier Marowak]].
* TheJinx: Adrien believes he has bad luck in and out of battles.
* KnightInSourArmor: Downplayed. Whether as Adrien or Liepard Noir, he still maintains a rather optimistic outlook. However, he tends to reveal a bit of his insecurities either as a Trainer or hero.
* LeeroyJenkins: Downplayed. Liepard Noir is known to be reckless, but in Chapter 42, [[spoiler: he immediately starts attacking Bubbler X's Mega Blastoise upon sending out Gallade without bothering to listen to Lady Ledian. And against [[MightyGlacier Mega Blastoise]], Gallade's attacks barely scratch his defenses. His carelessness also allows his Gallade to be confused after one hit from Mega Blastoise's Water Pulse. They both get better after [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan a slap from Lady Ledian and Gardevoir]]]].
* LoveAtFirstSight: Downplayed. When he started as Liepard Noir, he was friendly if flirty to fellow new hero Lady Ledian, even defending her against the Team Akuma gurnt's taunts. He falls for her after she stands up to both the grunts and Poison Moth and following the first victory over Team Akuma [[spoiler: and saving Ivan]], Adrien makes a DeclarationOfProtection for Lady Ledian, particularly the girl [[BeneathTheMask beneath the Ledian mask]], once he and Lady Ledian part ways and is alone.
--> '''Adrien:''' ''(after taking off his Liepard Noir mask)'' "Lady Ledian... Whoever you are behind the red mask, I will love you no matter what. I will make sure you stay safe so that you can protect Kalos and continue bringing smiles to everyone."
* MoralityPet: To [[SmallNameBigEgo Chloé]], since he's the only one she actually tries to be nice to.
* MrExposition: Between him and Lady Ledian, he's the one who's more knowledgeable on different Pokémon abilities and the history of the Kalos region, thus has to sometimes explain it to her.
* {{Nepotism}}: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Despite being the son of the current Kalos' Champion and regarded as a prodigy, Adrien's skills and competence as a trainer also came from hard-work and dedication. His father doesn't hold back against anyone, including his own son, whether it's training him, sending a horde of trainers to challenge him or fighting him in a Pokémon battle. Not that his competence stops his dissenters from accusing him of riding his father's coattails to get where he is.
* NiceGuy: Adrien is a friendly and helpful boy to his friends and Pokémon. He obtained Cubone/Marowak in his team because [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe he showed kindness to her after she helped him and Alya in Glittering Cave]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Because of his [[LeeroyJenkins brash]] [[ChronicHeroSyndrome habit of protecting Lady Ledian]] with his own Pokémon, Liepard Noir was left defenseless [[spoiler: when Team Akuma Grunts placed a peculiar device said to drain his Key Stone's energies in Chapter 51, which would include the portion of Yveltal's power imbued into it]]. However, even with [[spoiler: [[BigDamnHeroes Delphox Rouge and Trixx destroying the device]], Poison Moth reveals that the device's true nature was to scan all energy wavelengths of the Key Stone and send the data back to Team Akuma's database as quickly as possible. This includes Yveltal's energy signal, which he can now use to locate the Destruction Pokémon anywhere in Kalos]].
* TheNicknamer: As Liepard Noir, he has given out nicknames for significant female friends.
** For Lady Ledian, he uses my Lady, Double L, and Scatterbug-a-boo.
** For Marinette, he interchangeably calls her "Espurr-incess" and "little Ledyba".
** For [[spoiler: Delphox Rouge]] in Chapter 52, he's called her "little Fennekin" a few times. He also called her [[Series/DoctorWho Ms. Delphox]] and [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Rouge the Swoobat]] for fun.
* ObliviousToLove: Or at least painfully oblivious to Marinette's feelings for him. Not helped that he seems to [[DramaticIrony have eyes for Lady Ledian]], but he is working on understanding her better.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: When Nino was turned into a Bond Hybrid in Chapter 43, the usually wisecracking and goofy Liepard Noir is dead serious, not even wasting his time in battling Team Akuma Grunts. Lady Ledian even lampshades this when he didn't even made a single pun. It may also have to do with the fact [[ItsAllMyFault Adrien blames himself]] for allowing Nino to try to reason with his father, knowing how bad it would turn out]].
* PrettyBoy: Adrien is noted to be very good-looking.
* PungeonMaster: Tosses out Pokémon puns, particularly as Liepard Noir, which still induces a LamePunReaction for Lady Ledian, aka Marinette. Strangely enough, he tossed out a few Poképuns as himself early on in the story. Marinette’s reaction towards Adrien, however, appears to zigzag between groans and girlish giggles.
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: Liepard Noir's outfit is described to have an intermingled mix of purple and black, leading closer to the latter, hence why he has "noir" in his hero name. Then again, Adrien could've come up with the name because he [[RuleOfCool thinks it sounds cool]].
* PrivilegedRival: He's the son of Gabriel Agreste, the Kalos regional Champion and famous fashion designer.
* SpiritedCompetitor: While Adrien's only interested in gaining the Champion title to please his father, he genuinely enjoys the thrill of Pokémon battles. This is prominent whenever he faces against his friends and the stakes aren't high; he doesn't care whether he wins or loses, just the enjoyment that comes from it. It is even noted by other characters that Adrien becomes less reserved and more lively whenever he battles just for fun.
* StepfordSmiler: As the Champion's son, Adrien feels restricted with the expectations to succeed his father beneath his affable exterior. [[spoiler: In Chapter 41, after his one-sided battle against his father and his harsh criticism, Adrien remains calm despite being deeply affected by them. Not helped that half of the audience started bad mouthing his performance]].
* StrongAndSkilled: He's considered one of the most skilled trainers, having a balanced team and knowledgeable in various Pokémon facts. He's often called 'Ace Trainer' as recognition of his skill. Though this trope is played as when he's Liepard Noir, he's more of a [[StrongButUnskilled powerhouse compare to Lady Ledian but his recklessness and rash actions often holds back his full potential]].
* TrainingFromHell: Under Gabriel's strict supervision, Adrien [[spoiler: was forced to learn how to battle at Manon's age by battling against Nathalie, who was told [[WouldHurtAChild not to hold back]]]]. He also had to learn while in [[SlippySlideyIceWorld the frigid forests of Snowbelle City]] prior to Lumiose Academy, which [[spoiler: consequently [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity gave him an immunity against the cold]]]].
* TransformationTrinket: He was given a Key Stone in the form of a ring courtesy of Master Fu [[spoiler: and is connected to Yveltal]]. His Gallade owns a Galladite that's kept in a black waist belt that was given as gift from Lady Ledian.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Although Adrien's not interested in succeeding his father, he hoped that competing in the Kalos League and facing against him would bring his father back. In Chapter 41, [[spoiler: this bites him back during the exhibition match against his father. Adrien took pleasing Gabriel as top priority during the battle that he was out of sync with his Mega Gallade, resulting him unable fully use the new abilities and potential of his Pokémon's Mega Evolved Form]].
* WellExcuseMePrincess: Liepard Noir invokes the quote with Marinette in Chapter 39, completely butchering it with Pokémon puns.
---> '''[[PungeonMaster Liepard Noir]]:''' Well, [[IncrediblyLamePun Exeggcute-se me, Espurr-incess]]!
* WhatTheHellHero: Combined with SkewedPriorities as Liepard Noir, he and his Pokémon frequently [[TakingTheBullet take the hit]] for Lady Ledian. She calls him out on it in Chapter 51 during a confrontation with Team Akuma in Frost Cavern, as Gallade holding back the Akuma Grunts' Houndour left Liepard Noir defenseless. [[spoiler: The Grunts took advantage and captured Liepard Noir to drain his Key Stone of Yveltal's power]].
* TheWorfEffect: Adrien has been established as a skilled Trainer in the story that him losing to someone else in a fair fight would mean the person is a strong competitor. [[spoiler: His one-sided battle against his father shows just how much of a challenge facing the [[WorldsBestWarrior Champion]] would be]].

[[folder: Adrien's Pokémon]]
Although having no interest in becoming the next Champion, Adrien enjoys the freedom that comes with his Pokémon journey. From exploring the Kalos region to meeting a variety of Pokémon, some of which end up joining him in his journey. Sharing a close bond with their trainer, Adrien's Pokémon are known for their balance dynamic under his tutelage despite each having some unique quirks and personalities, some which they share with Adrien.

* NotSoAboveItAll: All of Adrien's Pokémon developed more serious and focused personalities by their final evolution. They all still retained their more comical and goofy sides however, with Plagg still a lazy glutton, Gallade sharing his trainer's sense of humor, and Pyroar going along with his trainer's whim to please his crush.
* TrueCompanions: Despite their unique personalities, they are devoted to training and bonding with each other as they are to Adrien.

!!Purrloin/Liepard (Plagg)
Adrien's starter Pokémon. Met at Professor Damocle's Pokémon reserve. Lazy, sarcastic, and gluttonous, but he really does care for Adrien's well-being, just like his Kwami counterpart.

* ActionInitiative: His Ability, Prankster, allows him to use support status moves before the opponent can act.
* BigEater: Another notable personality trait of his carried over from the main show. Adrien [[FoodAsBribe uses this]] sometimes to get Plagg to cooperate and be serious in a fight.
* BrilliantButLazy: Quite a powerful Pokémon that was able to last a few rounds in the [[ElementalRockPaperScissors Fighting-type]] Shalour Gym, but is all around unmotivated unless cheese is involved.
* CastingAShadow: Is a Dark-type that knows Dark Pulse.
* CatsAreMean: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Despite his species less than clean reputation, Plagg is merely a lazy glutton [[CatsAreSnarkers who often snarks]] [[TheGadfly at his trainer's mishaps]].
* CombatPragmatist: Plagg's a Dark-type and will resort to playing dirty even when Adrien hasn't order it.
* ConfusionFu: Knows Assist, a rare move that allows him to use any move among Adrien's team and results vary.
* CuteKitten: As a Purrloin.
* DarkIsNotEvil: A Dark-type Pokémon that's not very sociable, but Plagg is far from evil. Just a lazy snarker at worst.
* FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: Plagg as a Purrloin can often switch between walking on all fours to bipedal, though as as a Liepard, he's a quadrupedal Pokémon. [[RealityEnsues This does make it difficult for Plagg to attack with his front paws while constantly in motion at the same time as it is more tiring for him than it was back when he was a Purrloin]].
* FragileSpeedster: As a Purrloin/Liepard, Plagg has incredible speed and attack power, but very abysmal defenses.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: Liepard Noir used him as quick transportation when Team Akuma attacked Geosenge Town with their first Bond Hybrid after Plagg evolved into a Liepard for sometime. Judging how Plagg demanded Moo Moo Cheese after the crisis was resolved, he's harder to convince compare to Pyroar.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tends to [[CatsAreMean annoy]] and [[CatsAreSnarky snark]] at his Trainer, at times while [[ItAmusedMe enjoying his frustrated reactions]]. Is also described to be the least social Pokémon, [[FoodAsBribe requires to be fed Moo Moo Farm cheese]] [[BrilliantButLazy to be put into action]]. But he does have a strong sense of loyalty to those he considers friends, particularly [[IfItsYouItsOkay Tikki]], and was described as [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness "uncharacteristically serious and determined"]] when [[spoiler: facing Team Akuma for the first time in Chapter 20]] as they were a threat to his Trainer and friends. In addition, he really does care for Adrien's well-being, with his lazy tendencies encouraging Adrien to relax more. He even appeared genuinely happy for Adrien by the end of Chapter 34, giving him a nod of satisfaction [[spoiler: after escorting Marinette home]].
* OneHitKill: Plagg's Shadow Claw, probably to represent Cataclysm with its high critical-hit ratio.
* PantheraAwesome: Plagg's form as a Liepard is of a spotted black leopard while still retaining his personality as a lazy domestic cat.
* ParrotPetPosition: As a Purrloin, he would sometimes ride on Adrien's shoulders when outside his Poké Ball. As a fully grown Liepard, he can't do that anymore.
* RandomEffectSpell: He knows Assist, which picks a random move known by any fellow party member.
* SoulPower: Knows Shadow Claw, a Ghost-type move.
* SilentSnarker: Wouldn't be Plagg without the attitude.
* StarterMon: Adrien's first Pokémon.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cheese, as usual, particularly Moomoo Farm brand cheese.

!!Litleo/Pyroar
Adrien's second Pokémon. Caught off screen in Route 4. Represents Adrien's maturity and nobility, as well as being a feline-based Pokémon.

* BadassAdorable: As Litleo before evolving into a KingOfBeasts.
* ButtMonkey: Downplayed. While he wasn't thrilled over being reduced into a ride Pokémon for his Trainer, even though it's mostly to help fight against Team Akuma, he's taken the role with stride overtime. [[spoiler: Played straight over the fact that he winds up becoming infatuated with the opponent every time he's sent to battle onscreen]].
* CuteKitten: Back when he was a Litleo, which ties into Adrien's cat motif.
* FieryRedhead: When he was a Litleo, he was a [[JustForPun fiery]] little cub who'd attempt to imitate a MightyRoar. [[CharacterDevelopment After he evolved into a Pyroar]], he seems to have mellowed down, being the OnlySaneMan in Adrien's team.
* GlassCannon: He has high Special Attack as well as Speed, but his defense is pretty frail.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: Liepard Noir rides him as his steed to get to places fast and to impress Lady Ledian, much to Pyroar's embarrassment.
** He seems to have gotten used to the role as of Chapters 51 and 52 in carrying his Trainer and Lady Ledian between Dendemille Town and Frost Cavern.
* KingOfBeasts: As Pyroar, which represents Adrien's noble and heroic side.
* KillStreak: He has the ability Moxie.
* MakeMeWannaShout: He knows [[MightyRoar Noble Roar]].
* NonElemental: He is Secondary Normal-Type. Fitting that he's [[OnlySaneMan the straight man]] among his teammates.
* OnlySaneMan: His personality compared to the rest of his teammates.
* PantheraAwesome: A feline-based Pokémon that's inspired by real life lions.
* PlayingWithFire: Part Fire-type that knows Flamethrower and Fire Fang.
* SilentSnarker: Pyroar's reaction concerning Liepard Noir riding him to impress Lady Ledian.
* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler: In Chapter 51 and 52, Pyroar would have given Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir the advantage over the [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] [[AnIcePerson Mega Abomasnow]] that Team Akuma was using during the first half of the battle. However, Pyroar's stamina has been mostly used up as a mode of transportation for Liepard Noir and Lady Ledian, thus he has to sit the fight out]].

!!Ralts/Kirlia/Gallade
Adrien's third captured Pokémon. Caught in Route 4 at the same time Marinette captures his friend. A little more outgoing than Marinette's Ralts and rather adventurous, he takes on Adrien's true personality along the way.
-----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: From Chapter 52 onwards, he wears a black waist belt that Lady Ledian gave him, which holds his Galladite.
* BadassCape: Played with. In the BeachEpisode, he wore a make-shift cape to impress his childhood friend. [[spoiler: He finally gains one as [[SuperMode Mega Gallade]], which he uses to cushion the damage he takes from attacks]].
* BareFistedMonk: Upon evolving into Gallade, he becomes part Fighting-type.[[spoiler: In Chapter 58, he learns Close Combat during Adrien's battle against Kagami's Bisharp]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: Shares many personality traits with Adrien, illustrating their growth together.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: He has two of them on both arms, which is efficient for [[DualWielding dual wielding]].
* BladeLock: Engaged Kagami's Bisharp in a couple of these during their battle in Chapter 58.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Knew Marinette's Ralts prior to their capture by their respective Trainers.
* DanceBattler: Even after evolving into Gallade, he's always moving and jumping around. He even has the move Sword Dance.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler: Gallade learns Close Combat; a powerful Fighting-type attack with a high accuracy rate. However, it also lowers Gallade's Defense and Special Defense each time he uses it. Which is why he was only able to fight Kagami's Bisharp to a draw in Chapter 58]].
* DiagonalCut: How Gallade often uses Slash. He uses this to finish off the male Team Akuma Admin's Drapion, invoking a bit of a delayed reaction as he [[RuleOfCool retracts his elbow blade after appearing behind Drapion]]. This is likely his favored FinishingMove.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Gallade's Steadfast Ability increases his Speed whenever he's made to flinch. [[spoiler: In Chapter 58, Adrien took advantage of Kagami's Bisharp's Iron Head attack in order to increase Gallade's Speed so they can turn the tide of the battle]].
* DiscardAndDraw: After he evolves into Gallade, he loses his Fairy-typing in exchange for being part Fighting-type. He also loses his immunity to Dragon-Type attacks and is vulnerable to Fairy-types and Flying-types in exchange for high resistance against Rock, Steel and Poison attacks.
* DorkKnight: He has his trainer's sense of humor and more {{Adorkable}} traits, even [[spoiler: participating in victory SuperSentaiStance poses with Liepard Noir and Meowstic in Chapter 40. Bonus Points that his Mega Evolved form is inspired by a knight]].
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Back when he was a Kirlia, it was hard to differentiate between him and a female Kirlia to the point when Liepard Noir attempted to [[HeroicSecondWind evolve him as Gallade in an epic fashion]], he threw his Dawn Stone to [[spoiler: Lady Ledian's (female) Kirlia]]. HilarityEnsues.
* ImmuneToFlinching: Thanks to his ability Inner Focus [[spoiler: as Mega Gallade]].
* KnightInShiningArmor: His appearance is this as Gallade, losing his [[OurFairiesAreDifferent part Fairy-Type]] and becoming part Fighting-Type.
* LadyAndKnight: The Knight to Marinette's Gardevoir's Lady.
* LightningBruiser: [[spoiler: As Mega Gallade]].
* MakeMeWannaShout: He knows Disarming Voice.
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: The Mega Evolution TransformationSequence for Gallade is described to match Cat Noir's transformation from the show]].
* PsychicPowers: Is part Psychic-Type and knows [[SwordBeam Psycho Cut]].
* ShockAndAwe: Used to know Shock Wave.
* SignatureMove: Psycho Cut.
* StatusBuff: Knows Swords Dance.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Is able to Mega Evolve into Mega Gallade]].
* TakingTheBullet: He inherited his trainer's self-sacrificing nature when it comes to protecting others. Most notably [[spoiler: he protected Lady Ledian's Gardevoir from a group of Houndours, leaving him incapacitated and unable to defend his trainer]].

!!Meowstic
Adrien's fourth Pokémon caught off screen. Represents Adrien's supportive role as Cat Noir.
-----
* ActionInitiative: Has Prankster like Plagg, allowing him to quickly set up Reflect and Light Screen before major damage is done.
* BarrierWarrior: Uses Reflect and Light Screen as support, which help mitigate and block damage in battles.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He looks after Marinette's [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Togepi]] during the BeachEpisode.
* CuteKitten: His pre-evolution, Espurr, is cute, but even the evolved Meowstic of both genders are considered cute.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He is described to have a bit of a hero complex, thinking of the greater good than anything else. This is best shown when [[spoiler: he protects Lady Ledian's Kirlia without orders from his trainer, taking the hit meant for her]]. No doubt there that Meowstic inherited his trainer's self-sacrificing recklessness.
* DorkKnight: Participates in victory SuperSentaiStance poses with Liepard Noir [[spoiler: and Gallade, particularly after saving Lumiose City in Chapter 40]].
* PsychicPowers: A Psychic-type whose only offensive move is Psychic.
* SupportPartyMember: As the male variant, Meowstic is not good at offense with Psychic being his only known offensive move. He compensates with [[BarrierWarrior Reflect, Light Screen]], and Helping Hand. He represents Adrien's desire to protect others and providing support to Lady Ledian like in the main show.

!!Cubone/Marowak
Adrien's fifth Pokémon. Encountered at Glittering Cave. Represents Adrien's lonely nature, at least with Cubone. Also wields a staff like Cat Noir does.
-----
* BadWithTheBone: Living up to her species, she uses a bone staff and knows Bonemerang and Bone Rush. Her wielding a bone staff is also meant to reference Cat Noir's WeaponOfChoice.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: She became attached to Adrien after the latter treated her kindly and thanked her for saving them from Team Akuma. When he offered her to be part of his team, she quickly agreed]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: Going by her species' [[DarkAndTroubledPast depressing background]] and their moniker as the [[OrphansOrdeal Lonely]] Pokémon, it's implied Adrien kindness and compassion towards Cubone also stems from understanding and empathizing with the Pokémon, knowing what it's like to [[MissingMom lose a parent]].
* ClingyJealousGirl: Cubone is hostile towards Marinette and Chloé, especially when the latter [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace starts clinging onto Adrien]]. [[spoiler: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] after [[CharacterDevelopment evolving into Marowak and mellowing out upon maturing]], but is still very protective over Adrien and sees [[TheKlutz Marinette]] as a potential threat to his well-being]].
* DishingOutDirt: She's a pure Ground-type.
* ElementalPunch: She knows Thunder Punch, which is helpful when combating her elemental weakness Water-Type. [[spoiler: It was the finishing move on Mr. Pidgeot and his Mega Pidgeot]].
* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** In Chapter 29, Adrien mentioned that when Chloé got too clingy with him when they reunited in Coumarine City, the first thing Cubone does is whack the spoiled brat on the shin with her cub just to give Adrien some space.
** She nearly does this in Chapter 48 [[spoiler: to Lila, intending to make her pay for [[ForcefulKiss forcibly kissing]] Adrien against his will]]. Sadly, Adrien stops her before she can seriously hurt the girl, believing it would make them as bad as her.
* MamaBear: [[spoiler: After evolving into a Marowak, she has mellowed out her ClingyJealousGirl tendencies and instead becomes extremely protective towards Adrien, as shown when she was willing to clobber Lila for her ForcefulKiss on Adrien]].
* MightyGlacier: Marowak has high base defense and sufficient attack power, combined with the fact that she can certainly hit hard with her club.
* ParentalSubstitute: Interestingly played with as she's shown to be very protective of Adrien since joining his team, probably to make up for his MissingMom and the ParentalNeglect from his father.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Bonemerang.
* ProperlyParanoid: Cubone/Marowak is overprotective towards Adrien, especially towards human girls, but not without reason. She knows how popular Adrien with the many suitors he has, but is too polite and kind to turn them down. Combine with how clingy some of them get with Adrien (i.e. Chloé and Lila), she's wary that they'll violate Adrien's personal space without consent.[[spoiler: This suspicion is proven true when Lila [[ForcefulKiss kiss]] Adrien without his consent in Chapter 48]]. Although she knows that Marinette has cleaner intentions compared to his fangirls, she's still cautious on the chances that Marinette might be a liability towards Adrien due to her [[TheKlutz clumsy nature]].
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Was more than willing to [[spoiler: beat Lila senseless upon catching her stealing Adrien's SacredFirstKiss out of personal entitlement]], but unfortunately Adrien held her back.
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler: In Chapter 54, Wayhem didn't know she was female until Kagami pointed that out to him]]. Needless to say, Marowak was unimpressed by this.
* ShockAndAwe: Knows Thunder Punch, presumably to handle her weakness against Water Pokémon.
* ShrinkingViolet: When Adrien and Alya met her for the first time, she was hesitant in appearing in front of the two until Adrien assured her that they mean no harm.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Is the only known female Pokémon on Adrien's team.

* AttentionWhore: Not Alya herself but [[spoiler: Trixx, her Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox]] prior to being captured. During [[spoiler: Trixx's]] time in Professor Damocles' lab, she would act out in order to get some sort of attention since she's [[ItAmusedMe bored]]. But it's implied that it's also because [[spoiler: none of the beginning Trainers pick her as a starter, preferring to choose her fellow starters and the more popular Fire-Type Pokémon, [[FreudianExcuse neglecting her as a result]]]].
* BestFriend: To Marinette. To two are close as sisters who support each other and Marinette often shares her worries with her.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Alya is known for her love of superheroes and her strong sense of truth and justice that she's not afraid of standing up to wrongdoings, even when its putting her safety at risk. [[spoiler: She eventually takes the initiative of becoming one to openly help out Lady Ledian, debuting as the heroine Delphox Rouge at the end of Chapter 51]].
* CoolBigSis: She takes care her of her younger twin sisters, so is good at handling children, especially those who are mischievous. As a result, she acts like one to her more tricky Pokémon like [[spoiler: Trixx and Rotom]]. She also behaves like one to Manon in Chapter 36.
* TheDreaded: [[spoiler: Her Rotom]] and PlayedForLaughs. When Marinette learns that Alya caught [[spoiler: the Rotom that shocked her a few moments ago]], she becomes [[OhCrap ''horrified'']] that Alya has another Electric-Type that will shock her.

* FragileSpeedster: When Alya's Elekid evolved into Electabuzz, his speed increased but his defense is feeble.
* GenreSavvy: Thanks to her [[IntrepidReporter desire to snag a big scoop]] and her [[ChronicHeroSyndrome strong sense of justice stemming from reading about superheroes]], Alya knows to hide her face from Team Akuma by sneaking around the Grunts to avoid being on their hit list since she's not wearing a mask like Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir. And she doesn't mind openly lending a hand against a [[TransformationHorror Bond Hybrid]] since their ties to Team Akuma would be severed once Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir undo the fusion and their memories under Poison Moth's control disappear.
* GentleGiant: The first thing Alya's Amaura does when she's brought to life is to curiously greet her new trainer with a light head nudge.
* GlassCannon:
** Alya's Porygon-Z has high Special Attack but cannot take hits.
** [[spoiler: The Rotom she captures also has high Special Attack, but it's stats are mediocre at best]].

She uploads these findings in her personal online Pokéblog, 'Catch'em All, Alya Césaire! Findings of a Fabulous Trainer!' which updates on close friends and families on what she has found. It eventually becomes a communication hub for Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir to communicate with each other regarding to Team Akuma, Mega Evolution and the Key Stones. [[spoiler: She had to part ways with Marinette when her internship to Lumiose Press has been accepted, but after proving her dedication and great work to the head editor, she is allowed to travel with Marinette again to continue providing more findings]].
* ItWasAGift: Alya's explanation for [[spoiler: her Key Stone]], stated word for word in Chapter 53.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Some of Alya's Pokémon are impish [[TheTrickster tricksters]] who cause trouble for fun ([[spoiler: Trixx, Rotom]], and even Elekid/Electabuzz). However, they have shown to be loyal Pokémon towards their trainer Alya.
* LightningBruiser: Her Meditite/Medicham.
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: Her hero moniker combines her Miraculous hero name from the main series, Rena Rouge, with Delphox, Trixx's final evolved form]].
* MightyGlacier: Alya's Amaura has high HP and Special Attack, and boasts some impressive defenses. Unfortunately, she is fragile against her KryptoniteFactor.

* TheGadfly: While not as bad as [[spoiler: Trixx and Rotom]], Alya's Elekid/Electabuzz seems to enjoy a little too much on electrocuting Marinette whenever she daydreams, doing mostly cause her reactions are funny.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: [[spoiler: Alya's Rotom is a plasmatic force with the ability to posses physical objects, though mostly electrical objects]].
* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler: Trixx, who is a Delphox as of Chapter 52]].
* PowerFloats: [[spoiler: Her Rotom has the ability Levitate, which helps it become immune to Ground-Type]].
* ThePrankster: The author attributes Alya having two mischievous Pokémon to her [[TricksterTwins younger twin sisters]], one of them being notorious for their naturally mischievous nature; [[spoiler: Trixx, her Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox and [[ShockAndAwe Ro]][[OurGhostsAreDifferent tom]] ]].
* PsychicPowers: Alya's Meditite/Medicham and [[spoiler: Trixx her Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox]] are part Psychic-Type while her Porygon-Z is a full Psychic-Type.
* PsychoElectro: Downplayed. Contrary to belief, Alya's Elekid/Electabuzz is a loyal Pokémon companion to his trainer even if [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he]] does he have TheGadfly tendencies. [[OnlySaneMan He]] helps keep Alya in line whenever her desire for a scoop overrides her common sense and safety. Even his tendency to shock Marinette is not out of malicious intent and only PlayedForLaughs.
* SecretArt: Her Meditite/Medicham has the skill Pure Power, which doubles their somewhat subpar attack.
* SecretlySelfish: Downplayed. Although Alya set up the beach date between Marinette and Adrien because she genuinely wanted her best friend to get closer to her crush, the other reason why she organized it [[spoiler: was so it could make up to Marinette when she has to leave her for her internship that she hadn't told her yet]]. Alya [[JerkassRealization realized how poor her timing was]].
* ShipperOnDeck: Naturally, being Marinette's best friend and self-proclaimed wingwoman, often encouraged Marinette to talk to Adrien more and tries to help her friend get closer to him.
* ShockAndAwe: She has a number of Electric-Type Pokémon like her Elekid/Electabuzz and [[spoiler: Rotom]], which ties into her techno savviness. Her [[spoiler: Porygon-Z]] also knows Zap Cannon.
* SoProudOfYou: She expresses this for [[spoiler: Trixx once she evolves into a Delphox in Chapter 52, thinking back to how far the Fox Pokémon has come, starting as a lonely trickster that lived in Professor Damocles's lab for a long time before becoming a powerful ally in Alya's team]].
* SoulPower: [[spoiler: Alya's Rotom is part Ghost-Type]].
* SpectacularSpinning: Alya's Elekid would spin his arms around to charge up electricity.
* StarterMon: She started with Elekid, which is to represent Alya's usage of technology. [[spoiler: Though Alya eventually gets the traditional Kalos Fire-type, Trixx the Fennekin/Braixen who ties into her [[FantasticFox Fox Motif]]]].
* SuperMode: Her [[spoiler: Medicham achieves Mega Evolution]] for the first time in Chapter 52.
* {{Tsundere}}: [[spoiler: Trixx is a Type-A. She's a prideful and [[TheTrickster tricky]] [[ThePrankster prankster]] who'll occasionally perform the classic Tsundere gesture of folding her arms and turning away with a 'Humph!' expression. However, it's all to [[HiddenHeartOfGold hide]] her insecurities and loneliness and she gave Alya a big BearHug when the bespectacled girl accepted her as part of the team]].
* TransformationTrinket:
** [[spoiler: In Chapter 51, Alya reveals having obtained a Key Stone offscreen, supposedly by an "old acquaintance" of a Lumiose Press staff member that wanted Alya to have it, and accessorizing it as a charm for her cell phone. In addition, a few chapters ago, her Medicham found a Medichamite while they were still in Laverre City. As Delphox Rouge, she wears her Key Stone as a necklace with Medicham also wearing a necklace that holds her Medichamite]].
** [[spoiler: As Delphox Rouge, her Key Stone is placed into a pendant shaped like Delphox's tail]].

[[folder: Nino Lahiffe]]
Adrien's best friend and friendly rival. Nino is an aspiring DJ who is competing for the Kalos League like his best friend.

[[spoiler: In Chapter 42, he gets turned into a Bond Hybrid after a harsh talk with Gabriel in regards to Adrien's performance in Chapter 41]].
-----
* BarrierWarrior: His Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise knows the move Protect and uses [[SpinToDeflectStuff his shell to deflect attacks]].
* BestFriend: To Adrien. They both support and help each other out even when they are rivals and Adrien often confides to Nino about his troubles.
* DanceBattler: He trains his Pokémon to incorporate a combination of music and dancing in their battle styles, with some pulling off some stylish attacks. His Lotad/Lombre/Ludicolo is a good example.
* FriendlyRival: He's Adrien's best friend and among the few who enjoys having a friendly Pokémon battle with him rather than viewing him as a major obstacle for the Kalos League.
* GreenThumb: His Maractus is a Grass Type while Lotad/Lombre/Ludicolo has Grass-Type as a secondary element-type.
* MakingASplash: He owns a Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise and Lotad/Lombre/Ludicolo, which represents his laid-back and outgoing attitude.
* MusicalAssassin: He aspires to incorporate musical beats and rhythms into his battling style. It helps that he owns Pokémon that have an affinity towards sound, such as [[MakeMeWannaShout Loudred]] and [[DanceBattler Maractus]]. There's also [[FunPersonified Ludicolo]], who becomes more active and powerful upon hearing music.
* NonElemental: He owns a Loudred who is a Normal-Type.
* OneManArmy: Nino fends off a horde of trainers who want to challenge Adrien to Pokémon battles so that he may be able to take a break. [[spoiler: Despite tiring out, he managed to hold his own long enough for the trainers to finally give up pursuing Adrien until he leaves Lumiose City.]]
* SpinAttack: His Squirtle [[spoiler: later Wartortle then Blastoise]] know Rapid Spin.
* SpinToDeflectStuff: Rapid Spin is a retroactive form, removing stage hazards and binding moves when used.
* StarterMon: Squirtle was his first Pokémon prior to graduating from Lumiose Academy, tying into his Akuma form in the original show.
* StoneWall: [[spoiler: His Blastoise has excellent defense stats, but his offense stats are just average]].
* TotallyRadical: Wouldn't be Nino without this.
* TurnsRed: His Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise ability Torrent boosts Water attacks when his health becomes low.
* TurtlePower: His starter, [[MakingASplash Squirtle]] [[spoiler: who eventually evolves into Wartortle and into his final form, Blastoise after his OneManArmy action]].
* VerbalTic: He frequently uses "dude".

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Chloé Bourgeois]]
Marinette's old bully turned rival and Adrien's childhood friend. Daughter of the President of the Pokémon Community, she believes she's entitled to be the next Kalos Champion and Queen. While she talks big, she lacks the skills that she constantly brags about, having a less than impressive win record. [[spoiler: After her first major loss against Marinette thanks to her Servine disobeying her, she leaves the others, presumably to train seriously than before]].
-----
* AlphaBitch: She's an aggressive example; being an openly catty, petty and mean girl who's prone to throwing her father's name around to ensure she gets her way, proclaiming to be Kalos' Queen and still acts like one after graduating from Lumiose Academy. Played with though, like in the main series, she's not popular and her classmates barely tolerate her even after they graduated.
* AmazonBrigade: All of Chloé's Pokémon in her team are female, with some notably feminine.
* AnIcePerson: She owns a Weavile, who knows Ice Punch and Ice Shard.
* AttackAttackAttack: Whenever she's frustrated during battles, particular whenever her opponent gains the upper hand, Chloé resorts to this in battles.
* BeeAfraid: [[spoiler: Pollen, her Vespiquen. Though she leans more to a wasp]].
* BeeBeeGun: [[spoiler: As a Vespiquen, Pollen has the ability to call upon a swarm of Combees to attack and defend on her behalf]].
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:The Vespiquen that saved Sabrina during Team Akuma's citywide attack in Chapter 39 was implied to belong to Chloé. It is pretty much confirmed as Chloé was revealed to have caught Pollen just before the class reunion in Lumiose City and Team Akuma's attack]].
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Not Chloé since she doesn't even hide her [[JerkAss unpleasant disposition]], but invoked via WordOfGod (author's bio page) in regards of Chloé getting a Flaaffy. Chloé does try to play it straight by insisting that bad things happening are [[NeverMyFault never her fault]].
* TheBusCameBack: After being missing for nearly twenty chapters, she makes a full appearance [[spoiler: in Chapter 55, finding Marinette at the Anistar Sundial to challenge her for a rematch]].
* CastingAShadow: Her Murkrow/Honchkrow and Weavile, both of which are part-Dark-type.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** She frequently abuses her usage of the word "ridiculous" in expressing her disgust, just like in the main show.
** In calling out her [[spoiler: Vespiquen]], she uses [[spoiler: "Pollen, buzz on!"]]
* CharacterTics: Like her counterpart from the main show, [[spoiler: Pollen]] is shown to curtsy before her Trainer as to acknowledge her as her queen [[spoiler: as done after defeating Marinette and Tikki in Chapter 55]].
* ClingyJealousGirl: She ''certainly'' doesn't like other girls pulling the moves on Adrien. A big reason why she actively dislikes Marinette, and later, Lila.
* CreepyCrows: Owns a Murkrow/Honchkrow.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Chloé shows that if she does put in the effort, she actually has the skills to be a proficient trainer during her battle with Marinette, but is still inferior to her at the moment. [[spoiler: In her return at Chapter 55, Chloé shows off how much stronger she's gotten since Coumarine City by defeating Marinette in a three-on-three battle]].
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: Aside from pushing herself and training her Pokémon during her absence to the point she can go toe-to-toe against Marinette, a {{flashback}} in Chapter 55 reveals Chloé, in a fit of desperation in preserving what's left of her dignity, tries fighting her future Vespiquen head-on as Servine still refuses to listen to her and Vespiquen was able to disarm her of her Flaaffy's Poké Ball. Sure Vespiquen [[CurbstompBattle threw Chloé down every time]], but her determination was enough for Servine to [[BigDamnHeroes step in and fight off Vespiquen]] and give Chloé another chance]].
* DontYouDarePityMe: Chloé's reaction to Adrien after her Servine refuses to obey her and throws the match against Marinette.
* EnemyMine: Subverted [[spoiler: when the subject of Lila was brought up during Chloé's reemergence in Chapter 55 as Chloé declares that she rather get Lila to back off from Adrien by her own hands instead of teaming up with Marinette]].
* EpicFail: Chloé attempts to show off to Adrien during the informal Parfum Palace Tag Tournament that she was going to win, except that she didn’t and her match wounds up being described as the shortest one to date.
* EverythingsWorseWithBees: [[spoiler: Pollen, her Vespiquen. She also knows Attack Order and Defend Order, which allow her to call upon nearby Combee to aid her in battle]].
* FragileSpeedster: Her Mukrow and Weavile are both fast with good offensive stats, but both are terrible at taking hits.
* FreudianExcuse: Much like from the main show, [[spoiler: Chapter 55 reveals Chloé's desire to be exceptional due to [[ParentalNeglect her neglectful mother]], who left her behind at a very early age to pursue her career as a fashion critic in Unova. Because her mother was barely in her own daughter's life, Chloé never received the proper love and attention she needed to properly develop and mature, thus was presumably spoiled rotten by her father as to make up for it]].
* GemstoneAssault: [[spoiler: Pollen knows Power Gem]].
* GlassCannon: Weavile and Honchkrow. Both have excellent offensive stats and are agile, though her Honchkrow is slower than she was as Murkrow in exchange for higher HP. They both still have terrible defenses.
* HiveQueen: [[spoiler: Pollen can command and control nearby male Combees to her aid, which is shown in her first appearance in Chapter 55. Marinette points out it's basically brainwashing]].
* {{Irony}}: Her Murkrow/Honchkrow is known to be a harbinger of misfortune and her ability is [[CriticalHit Super Luck]].
* InsectQueen: [[spoiler: Her Vespiquen, Pollen. Not only can she command a swarm of Combees, but prior to Chloé capturing her, she came to defend the Combees whom were intimidated by the spoiled girl]].
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Her former classmates barely tolerate her [[AlphaBitch stuck-up and snooty attitude]] back at Lumiose Trainer Academy. During the intermission of the Showcase Performance, Marinette and her friends discussed the possibility of hosting another class reunion in Lumiose City and while reluctant, decided to invite Chloé since she ''was'' part of the class.
* GreenThumb: Her Snivy/Servine is a Grass-Type.
* KickTheDog:
** After Marinette [[HeroicBSOD runs away in shame and disappointment in herself]] after the first Tag Team battle because she felt she failed Adrien as a partner, Chloé proceeds to [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown mock her]] to which Adrien tells her off for it.
** [[spoiler: When her newly evolved Honchkrow defeats Marinette's Togetic in their rematch battle in Chapter 55, she starts to belittle Togetic and Marinette's ability to raise her]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Chloé, nuff said, [[BirdsOfAFeather which she shares with her Snivy]]. [[spoiler: Which backfires on her when [[TookALevelInJerkAss Snivy evolves into a Servine and starts disobeying her]]]].
* LookWhatICanDoNow: [[spoiler: After returning from her long absence from the story in Chapter 55, Chloé reveals that she has gotten much stronger than before, claiming she is a new Chloé Bourgeois set to become Kalos's new queen. She mentioned that things have changed for the better for her upon capturing Pollen, which include regaining her starter's obedience after claiming victory in many battles]].
* LovableAlphaBitch: Very downplayed, however she has shown signs of this deep down. [[spoiler: Pollen is implied to be the Vespiquen that saved Sabrina during Team Akuma's citywide attack in Chapter 39 under Chloé's orders and in Chapter 55, she comforted her fallen Weavile after an intense fist match against Marinette's Spinda and flashbacks reveal that she protected her Servine from her future Vespiquen, despite the latter's disobedience]].
* MythologyGag:
** In [[spoiler: Chapter 55]], the way Chloé is described to command her Honchkrow to use Sky Attack by flourishing her arms out like wings brings to mind how [[TheRival Paul]] from the ''Diamond & Pearl'' anime saga commands his Honchkrow to use that move. It somewhat helps as she also owns a Weavile like him.
** In the same chapter, the method that [[spoiler: Pollen]] administers her Toxic toxin is through pricking [[spoiler: just like Queen Bee's Venom]].
* NonElemental: Her Meowth/Persian is a Normal-Type.
* OnlyFriend: Chloé is this to Sabrina and before his enrollment to the Academy, Adrien. In Sabrina's case it gets [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] [[spoiler: after she hasn't heard from Chloé since her loss to Marinette]] where it's clear that Sabrina is ''very'' dependent on her and has no idea where to go or what to do that doesn't involve Chloé.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The fact that ''[[SpoiledBrat Chloé]]'' didn't run crying to her father nor returned to take comfort in her suite just shows how much she has gotten serious in training her Pokémon. [[spoiler: Her first loss against Marinette did indeed affect her, but it was the fact that her once loyal Snivy's now disobeying her since evolving into Servine that's she's taking her loss '''hard''']].
* PoisonousPerson: [[spoiler: Pollen]] knows Toxic, a powerful Poison-type move that worsens overtime to the point that the victim can be paralyzed by the pain alone, further referencing [[spoiler: Queen Bee's Venom]].
* PrivilegedRival: She's the daughter of the current President of the Pokémon Community and owner of Lumiose's Hotel Richissime.
* TheRival: Serves as this Marinette, though currently she isn't much to be considered a serious opponent [[spoiler: until her reappearance in Chapter 55]].
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Her return in Chapter 55 not only displays her newfound strength by showing her newly acquired Anistar Gym Badge, but also with her newly evolved Honchkrow and the devastating powers of Pollen, her Vespiquen]].
* SmallNameBigEgo: Being the daughter of the current president of the Pokémon community resulted in Chloé believing she's the best trainer to everyone except for [[MoralityPet Adrien]]. So far she hasn't won a single battle onscreen and Marinette proved to be a better trainer than her.
* SmugSnake: She always acts like her classmates bar [[MoralityPet Adrien]] are [[SmallNameBigEgo beneath her despite having a less than stellar win record thus far]]. Having Snivy as her starter wasn't already a hint to her snotty attitude. [[spoiler: After her [[BreakTheHaughty first humiliating loss against Marinette thanks to her Servine refusing to listen to her]], Chloé may have become more serious in training]].
* StarterMon: Snivy, fittingly as it's said that Snivy are typically haughty {{SmugSnake}}s.
* StatusBuff: [[spoiler: Pollen knows Defend Order, which has a swarm of Combees raising her defenses]].
* StoneWall: [[spoiler: Pollen has high defense and has the ability Pressure, making her a good staller. However, she has average offensive stats and low speed]].
* StrongButUnskilled: Chloé has been shown to be an actual good trainer if she makes an effort in it and her Pokémon are shown to be no slouch. However, Chloé relies on her Pokémon's sheer power and unlike Marinette, isn't as creative in her strategies. That being said [[spoiler: Pollen's battle against Tikki shows Chloé capable of utilizing her Pokémon's abilities and tactics if she puts her mind to it]].
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: [[spoiler: After Chloé won her rematch battle against Marinette in Chapter 55, she continues to rub it into Marinette's face, to the annoyance of Alya and the others]].
* VictoryIsBoring: [[spoiler: Despite beating Marinette, Chloé loses the glee she had initially due to [[GracefulLoser Marinette able to handle it well]] than she anticipated. It is also implied that Marinette being supported by Alya and the others while she had no one was another factor that left her feeling empty in her victory]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite her significant rivalry with Marinette, Chloé hasn't been seen by anyone, nor has she made a full-screen appearance [[spoiler: since her [[CurbstompBattle major loss to Marinette]] at Coumarine City in Chapter 27. Sabrina was talking to her over the phone during the Team Akuma attack aftermath in Chapter 40, but not even she knows where Chloé is at that point. She finally returns in Chapter 55 in Anistar City]].
* ZergRush: [[spoiler: Pollen, Chloé's Vespiquen, can summon a bunch of Combees to her aid. In Chapter 55, she displays how terrifying it is; from swarming all over Tikki so she won't escape, to chasing her when she's badly poisoned and vulnerable to their queen's attacks]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Sabrina Raincomprix]]
Chloé's "[[AllTakeAndNoGive best friend]]" and daughter of the Coumarine Gym Leader. Mostly referred as Chloé's lackey back at the Academy and now, as she does most of the grunt work for Chloé, which includes training their Pokémon. When not doing Chloé's dirty work, Sabrina isn't that bad. [[spoiler: Ever since Chloé left her after losing against Marinette, [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife Sabrina is left on her own, at lost on what she wants for herself]]]].
-----
* BadassBookworm: Sabrina is highly knowledgeable on Pokémon and is actually a fairly competent trainer of her own right because her father is the Coumarine Gym Leader. Unfortunately, she has to pick up after Chloé, which [[WorfHadTheFlu holds her back; unable to perform as well as she could]].
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: She usually has to follow Chloé's orders and is dependent on her that Sabrina doesn't consider what she herself wants; which extends to lacking any ambition of her own. [[spoiler: When Chloé leaves after losing to Marinette, Sabrina has been unable to contact her, leaving her clueless on what to do next.]]
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Likely due to her [[BetaBitch association]] with Chloé, but downplayed as the others don't personally have a problem with her when she's not around Chloé.
* GreenThumb: Her starter is a Bulbasaur/Ivysaur, likely because her father is the Coumarine Gym Leader.
* HollywoodChameleons: Owns a Kecleon, whose ChameleonCamouflage is meant to reference her akumatized form, Vanisher.

* NonElemental: Her Kecleon is a Normal-Type.

[[folder: Alix Kubdel]]
Marinette and Adrien's tomboyish classmate hailing from Shalour City, known for having a fierce rivalry with Kim. Comes from a family that descended from the original Trainer who first used Mega Evolution in Kalos with their Lucario. Her father is the leading guru of Mega Evolution while her older brother is the current Shalour Gym Leader. Alix is destined to eventually inherit the Gym Leader position, but for now, is proving to be a wild contender for the Kalos League with her speed-oriented battle style.
-----
* BadassAdorable: Several of her Pokémons are rather cute before they evolved, such as her Torchic, Tyrogue and Pikachu/Raichu.
* BareFistedMonk: She owns a Tyrogue and after her Torchic evolves into Combusken [[spoiler: and finally Blaziken]], she becomes a part Fighting-Type, which fits her competitive, stubborn and tomboyish personality. Bonus points that her family runs a Gym that specializes in Fighting-Types.
* BrutalHonesty: Alix is rather blunt in her approach to things, to the point it can come off as rude.
* UsefulNotes/{{Capoeira}}: Once her Tyrogue evolves into a Hitmontop, which fits with Alix's Speed-oriented tactics and her love for rollerblading.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Alix's preference for Speed-oriented Pokémon and reliance on a hit-and-run tactic can be exploited when it becomes linear and predictable that her opponents can counter them or moves that would render High Speed stats moot, such as Trick Room.
* DeadpanSnarker: She more or less [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] Team Akuma's tacky wardrobe, all the while she and Marinette were cornered by them in Chapter 39 no less.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Her Pikachu knows Volt Tackle, which cause recoil damage to the user.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She may be an enthusiastic Pokémon battler who wouldn't mind a good showdown, [[spoiler: but even she thought the [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown brutal fist-fight]] between Marinette's Spinda and Chloé's Weavile was too much for her to witness]].
%% * {{Expy}}: Of Korrina, a roller-blading spirited {{Tomboy}} and, at least in this story, comes from a family of Mega Evolution users.
* FragileSpeedster: Pikachu is speedy, but frail.
* GaggingOnYourWords: Having been the battle judge for [[spoiler: Marinette and Chloé]] in Chapter 55, in the which the latter wins, Alix finds having to announce the decision tastes worse than her sweaty socks while sticking her tongue out.
* HiddenDepths:
** Despite not into girly things, Alix appreciates Pokémon Showcases.
** Alix's favorite mythical Pokémon are [[TimeTravel Celebi]] and [[TimeMaster Dialga]].
* HotBlooded: She rivals Kim in that department among other things. She's even like this when watching Pokémon Showcases as Nathaniel can attest to.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Alix may be a tough and stubborn girl who won't always be agreeable, but she's a loyal friend who won't back down when others are in danger.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While she could've been nicer about it, Alix vents out her frustration over Marinette's obsession over Adrien in Chapter 56, possibly as a subtle TakeThat towards Marinette's behavior in the early aired episodes of Season Three in the main show. Though there is a significant difference that here, Marinette had more than four years to make her move and actually progress her relationship with Adrien instead of moping about it.
* LightningBruiser: Her Yanmega and [[spoiler: Blaziken]].
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The tough Masculine Girl to Nathaniel's passive Feminine Boy.
* TheNapoleon: She's stated to be short compared to the others yet it doesn't stop her from being one of the most competitive Pokémon trainers gunning for the Kalos League and can be aggressive if she wants. Her Pikachu/Raichu mirrors this perfectly, being a small mouse-like Pokémon who can put up a fight.
* OddFriendship: A competitive and passionate tomboy who dislikes girly things like her is best friends with Nathaniel, a quiet Pokémon artist figuring out his place in the world. To add on, they both own a Fire Starter (Torchic and Cyndaquil respectively) and one of the special [[StarterMon starter Pokémon]] (Pikachu and Eevee respectively again).
* ParentalFavoritism: Jalil believes their father favors her because she'll take over the position of Gym Leader once she's of age.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Just like in the show, Alix is passionate about her rollerblading skills and is a major competitor in the upcoming Kalos League. Her Hitmontop even reflects on her competiveness nature.
* PrivilegedRival: She's the younger sister of the current Shalour Gym Leader, Jalil Kubdel, whom took over the position from their father, who's the leading researcher on Mega Evolution.
* RedOniBlueOni: The fiery Red Oni to Nathaniel's mellow Blue Oni.
* TheRival: She has been Kim's fierce rival for a long time that he proclaims that he'll reserve her family's Gym for last.
* RollerbladeGood: Outside of Pokémon battles, she takes rollerblading very seriously. She's a speed demon when on rollerblades and meets up with Marinette and Alya while rollerblading with a group in Chapter 10. She even mentions the Shalour Gym battlefield grounds for rollerblading and wanted to learn a special rollerblading move by the Twirling Whirlwind in Chapter 49. Both her [[ShockAndAwe Pikachu/Raichu]] and [[DreadfulDragonfly Yanma/Yanmega]] are speedster masters like her.

* ShockAndAwe: Alix's Pikachu/Raichu.
* SpinAttack: Naturally, Alix's Hitmontop, who also knows Rolling Kick.

* {{Tomboy}}: She has a spirted and tough personality, enjoys roller-blading and Pokémon battles, and owns several robust-looking Pokémon.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Marinette noted that Alix's Pikachu has a heart-shaped tail, indicating she's a female.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: [[spoiler: Alix's reaction when Marianne used Trick Room against Marinette in her Gym Battle is of dread in Chapter 56 due to the move having a detrimental effect on Pokémon with high speed]].
* YoungestChildWins: She's expected to inherit the Shalour Gym Leader position from her brother once she is of age and [[spoiler: is eventually given her family's precious heirloom Key Stone watch after she beat her brother in a Gym battle]].

[[folder: Nathaniel Kurtzberg]]
A quiet, redheaded classmate with artistic passion and unrequited feelings towards Marinette, though it seems he has gotten over her for the most part since graduating from the Academy. Unlike the rest of his classmates, Nathaniel isn't driven to compete in the Kalos League and is more interested in drawing out Pokémon he encounters during his travels. He does, however, appear supportive of Juleka and Rose in their pursuit to becoming Kalos Queen as he is fascinated by the artistry of Pokémon Showcase performances.
-----
* ArtAttacker: To fit his artistic theme, he owns a Smeargle and a Horsea/Seadra, the latter due to the ability to spit ink. In addition, Nathaniel is able to utilize his artistic sense for impressive move combinations for battles and potentially performances.
* FieryRedhead: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], as he's one of quietest former classmates with Juleka. His starter Cyndaquil/Quilava mirrors his timid personality.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: While he is currently content with drawing Pokémon he encounters in his travels, he seems to veering into this, feeling he wants to do more than just sketch.
* ConfusionFu: His Smeargle can learn any moveset and can copy other Pokémon's powers with [[ArtInitiatesLife Sketch]].
* MakingASplash: His Horsea/Seadra.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The quiet Feminine Boy with soft features to Alix's tomboyish and aggressive Masculine Girl.
* MoonRabbit: Nathaniel's Umbreon after he evolved.
* NonElemental: His Smeargle and Eevee are both Normal-Types before the latter evolved into [[CastingAShadow Umbreon]].
* OddFriendship: A non-action Pokémon artist who's still [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife unsure of which career path to go into]] like him is best friends with Alix, a HotBlooded {{Tomboy}} who'll eventually become the next Shalour Gym Leader. They also both own a Fire Starter (Cyndaquil and Torchic respectively), and the unique [[StarterMon starter Pokémon]] (Eevee and Pikachu respectively again).
* OnlySaneMan: Figuratively and literally in Chapter 54 when sitting with Alix, Marinette, and Alya during the Anistar Showcase, with Nathaniel wishing his friends were a little less high strung.
* PowerCopying: His Smeargle can use [[ArtInitiatesLife Sketch]] to permanently copy the last move his target uses.
* PlayingWithFire: His starter is a [[PricklyPorcupine Cyndaquil/Quilava]].
* PsychicPowers: His Munna/Musharna is a Psychic-Type.
* TheQuietOne: Is almost as quiet as Juleka, but he's more expressive around Alix. His Umbreon represents his quiet personality.
* RedOniBlueOni: The good-tempered Blue Oni to Alix's aggressive Red Oni.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Several Pokémon he has are pretty adorable, such as his Cyndaquil, Eevee/Umbreon, Horsea and Munna/Musharna.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Alix, shown in the Parfum Palace tag battle tournament.
* StarterMon: A Cyndaquil with a similar timid personality as his. He also owns an Eevee, who is also considered as another special StarterMon.
* SupportPartyMember: He's partnered with Alix during the Parfum Tag-team battle and Alix is the one to lead the pair in both battle and strategies while Nathaniel follows and provide support. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since Nathaniel is an artist, not a fighter and Alix is the more experienced battler between the two of them. His Smeargle shares this trait with him; he's no powerhouse, but his [[ConfusionFu versatility]] allows him to pull off unique combos from behind the scenes.
* WeakButSkilled: Like Rose and Juleka, Nathaniel isn't interested in being a full-time Pokémon trainer like the rest of his former classmates gunning for the Kalos League. That being said, the Parfum Tag-Team battle shows that Nathaniel does utilize his artistic sense to produce surprisingly impressive and effective attacks. His Smeargle displays this perfectly too.

[[folder: Lê Chiên Kim]]
The boisterous jock classmate of Marinette and Adrien from the Academy who shares an intense rivalry with Alix and is Max's best friend. Not the brightest bulb out there, but prefers brute force and pure power in his Pokémon battles any day. Kim plans to overwhelm the competition in the Kalos League, but not before he proves to Alix that he's the better Trainer.
-----
* AlwaysAccurateAttack: His Machop/Machoke has the ability No Guard, meaning any move he has will always hit the opponent, even if the target is in a semi-invulnerable stage. Unfortunately, that also applies to any move against him as well, which both advantage and disadvantage were shown in the Tag Team Finals.
* BareFistedMonk: Tying into his boisterous attitude, his love for training, and rivalry with Alix, he owns a few Fighting-Type Pokémon. His Machop/Machoke is a pure Fighting-Type while his Hawlucha is part Fighting-Type and Xuppu [[spoiler: becomes part Fighting-Type once he evolves into Monferno]].
* BookDumb: He admits that he isn't as booksmart as Max is.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The overwhelming Brawn to Max's Brains, which is prominent during the Parfum Palace tag-team battle. This combination gave Marinette and Adrien a hard time in the final round. His Machop/Machoke perfectly fits this trope.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He compares training for the Leagues no different from training for a marathon; to be in top physical shape and improving your stamina to last in the finals. Thus, he trains his Pokémon's endurance and master powerful moves. As a result some of his Pokémon can be both hard-hitters and durable, like his Machop/Machoke, bonus for having the stamina and strength to make good use of his No Guard Ability.
* CompetitionFreak: Like in the main series, Kim enjoys sports, Pokémon battles and making bets (though, as of Chapter 10, he isn't allow to make bets for a year after losing his last bet). He is one of the few competitive contenders for the Kalos League, along with Alix.
* DishingOutDirt: Upon evolution, his Marshtomp/Swampert becomes part Ground-Type. His Claydol is also part Ground-Type.
%% * {{Expy}}: Of [[HotBlooded Stephan]], the [[CompetitionFreak competitive]] [[LovableJock jock]].
* HotBlooded: He rivals Alix in that department, especially during a competition, sport events or battles.
* JerkJock: He can dip into this sometimes because of his arrogance and cocky attitude, not to mention headstrong in his battling style. Even his Machop/Machoke perfectly mirrors his jock personality and arrogance.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While still hotheaded and occasionally rude, he is generally kind and he helped the Parfum Palace's owner find his Furfrou. As thanks, the owner allowed him to organize the class reunion in Parfum Palace.
* LovableJock: Despite his boastful nature, he still cares about his former classmates and with the help of the Parfum Place owner, organized a class reunion party so they can both test their current skills and meet up with each other. He even complements Max's strategies during their tag-team battle.
* MakingASplash: His Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert and he knows Water Gun.
* MightyGlacier: His Machop/Machoke and [[spoiler: Swampert]].
* MonkeyKingLite: Chapter 61 reveals that he got a Chimchar named Xuppu from a trade, as a reference to being the wielder of the Monkey Miraculous. [[spoiler:It would evolve into Monferno after using it to battle Marinette and Ayla alongside Ondine in a double battle]].
* ObliviousToLove: When he reunites with Ondine in Chapter 61, he fails to pick on her obvious crush on him.
* OddFriendship: The hotheaded and burly jock who loves battles, is close friends with Max, the smartest trainer from their class. In fact, they worked well together that their brain-brawn combo nearly won the Parfum Tag-Team battle.
* PlayingWithFire: Got a Chimchar through a trade prior Chapter 61.
* PowerIncontinence: Xuppu's Swagger, meant to reference King Monkey's Uproar, sharply increases the attack power of the target, but induces [[StandardStatusEffects confusion]] as a result.
* PsychicPowers: Kim's Claydol is half Psychic-Type.
* RedOniBlueOni: Kim is the hotheaded and brash Red Oni to Max's collected and strategic Blue Oni.
* TheRival: He has been Alix's sworn rival since their Academy days and whenever they are in the same room, it's expected that they would immediately battle each other.
* StarterMon:
** Mudkip, as a {{foil}} to Alix's Torchic.
** He later gets a Chimchar, a Fire-type starter of Sinnoh, nicknamed Xuppu from a trade.
* StrongButUnskilled: Unlike [[TheStrategist Max's]] tactical approach to battles, Kim focuses more enduring and [[AttackAttackAttack hitting harder]] till his opponent is down. His Machop/Machoke best shows this with his ability No Guard.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Max Kanté]]
Marinette and Adrien's highly intelligent classmate from the Academy and Kim's best friend, known for his use of sophisticated scientific vocabulary and tendency to spout out statistical facts regarding Pokémon moves and related physiology. In direct contrast to Kim, Max prioritizes clever strategy over power in his battles, which would surely make him quite the tricky opponent to deal with when faced in the Kalos League.
-----
* AgentScully: As someone who relies on logic and numbers, Max would be the last person to admit that the Scary House rumors might be more than just Ghost-Type Pokémon playing around. [[ImmediateSelfContradiction Although his shaking legs might indicate otherwise]].
* BadassBookworm: As TheSmartGuy, Max is big on [[TheStrategist strategic]] planning in his Pokémon battles and was described by Adrien to be the top of the class in the written portion of the exams.
* BatOutOfHell: He owns a Zubat/Golbat/Crobat but she isn't villainous in anyway.
* BlowYouAway: His Zubat/Golbat/Crobat is part Flying-Type and knows Air Cutter.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The analytic Brains to Kim's Brawn, which is highlighted during the Parfum Palace tag-team battle, both giving Marinette and Adrien a hard time. His starter, Abra/Kadabra naturally reflects this.
* DidNotSeeThatComing: One of things that can throw off Max's strategies are whenever his opponent improvises on the spot or pure luck. He and Kim were thrown off when Marinette and Adrien's Pokémon managed to survive their combo attack through sheer luck that has a low chance of occurring. Even Max commented that luck is a factor that is unpredictable.
* ExtraOredinary: Owns a Metang
* FlawExploitation: He takes advantage of Type-weaknesses and analyzes his opponents' battle style to find a way around it. This is shown in Chapter 49 in his battle against Alix, with him aware of Alix's preference for speed and agility with a hit-and-run tactic.
* FragileSpeedster: His [[{{Tengu}} Seedot/Nuzleaf/Shiftry]] and [[BatOutOfHell Zubat/Golbat/Crobat]] are extremely fast, especially the former during the Parfum Palace Tag-Team battle where Max uses Sunny Day to activate his Chlorophyll ability which increases Seedot's Speed.
* GlassCannon: Max's Abra and his Evolutionary Line are known to have very high Special Attack and Speed stats, letting them deal massive damage. Yet they are extremely frail in their defense, [[SquishyWizard especially towards physical attacks]].
* GoodWithNumbers: Max never misses the chance to make calculations on possibilities.
* GreenThumb: His Nuzleaf/Shiftry is a Grass-Type.
* HumongousMecha: Owns a Golurk, which is meant as a reference to the giant robot Gamer battles with.

* MotorMouth: Whenever he goes on his techno talk or calculations, to the point someone has to interrupt him to stop.

* PoisonousPerson: His Zubat/Golbat/Crobat is part Poison-Type.
* PsychicPowers: His Abra/Kadabra is a Psychic-Type.
* RedOniBlueOni: Max is the analytical and strategic Blue Oni to Kim's brash and straight-forward Red Oni.
* StarterMon: His first Pokémon is Abra as to highlight his intellect.
* TheStrategist: Going by his brain tactics, Max's Pokémon aren't all powerful, so he makes up for it by being a very good strategist, making very good use of basic techniques and common sense. This however, is his AchillesHeel-- he thinks things through so ''logically and by-the-book'' that unexpected results and outside-the-box strategies catch him by surprise, throwing his strategies off that lead to his defeat. He and Kim nearly lost it when Alya and Nino pulled off their water and electric combo move and later, he was taken back when luck was a factor that helped Marinette and Adrien win.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Max wears NerdGlasses and was the top in Marinette's class in the theoretical portion of the exams.
* TeleportSpam: Abra, which came in handy in Chapter 11 when Abra saved both him and Kim's Machop from Alya's Elekid's and Nino's Lotad's combo attack during the first round in the Tag-Team battle.
* WeakButSkilled: Max's team isn't a powerhouse compared to [[LovableJock Kim's]], but he does make good use of his Pokémon's versatility and takes advantage of his environment and Type-weaknesses.

* {{Irony}}: Mylène is a LovableCoward and owns a [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Shuppet/Banette]].

It is deconstructed as she and Ivan were separated from the others and made them more susceptible to Team Akuma's attack [[spoiler: and she was used as a hostage by their attackers, resulting in Ivan being kidnapped in return for her safety]]. However, she is still a competent trainer and [[spoiler: she and her Shuppet were able to distract a brainwashed Ivan and his Rhyhorn long enough for the Defenders of Kalos to save him]].

* FailedASpotCheck: During her tag-battle with Juleka against Alix and Nathaniel, she was hoping her Jigglypuff's Cute Charm ability would cause the opposing Pokémon to be infatuated with Jigglypuff. She forgot that with the exception of Juleka's Gastly, all the Pokémon on the field were female.

* GenkiGirl: Rose is a bubbly, energetic and cheerful girl that she manages to ''[[UpToEleven outdo Marinette]]'' and gets excited in watching a Pokémon battle. Though she seems more level-headed during Showcases compared to battles. She even owns a Bellossom to reflect her cheerful nature.

[[spoiler: Because she is not used to having a lot of attention on herself, Juleka loses her first Showcase, leaving her much think about what it means for her to be Kalos Queen in the first place]].
-----
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Juleka's quiet and introverted demeanor, along with her appearance and preference for dark clothes and Pokémon may have others peg her as one. She's a subversion, as she's actually a shy and awkward (albeit kind) girl. Although her Showcases performances seem to play it straight in order to enhance the enchanting atmosphere of her performance.
* AffectionateNickname: [[CoolBigBro Luka]] sometimes calls her "Jul" for short, revealed in Chapter 59.
* BarrierWarrior: Her Gothita/Gothorita knows Reflect while Mime Jr. has the Barrier Move.
* BlindedByTheLight: [[spoiler: What causes Juleka to lose the Couriway Showcase in Chapter 59. Due to her being used to the darkness of indoor stages, Couriway Town's outdoor theatre is a new environment that proves tough for Juleka on top of the competition being even harder now that she would need one more Princess Key at this point. The sun overhead winds up temporarily blinding her for her finale in the final round, nearly flubbing her routine and costing her some votes]].
* CastingAShadow: Her Gastly/Haunter can learn Dark-type moves naturally and the Ghost-Type moves he knows like Shadow Punch and Night Shadow have a darkness flavor to them.

* PoisonousPerson: Her Gastly/Haunter is part Poison-Type.
* ThePrankster: While he doesn't have the Prankster ability, her Gastly/Haunter are known to be practical jokers for various reasons. He even uses this in Juleka's Showcase Performances, such as [[{{Hammerspace}} bringing out a violin out of nowhere]].

* TheQuietOne: She's known to not say much whenever interacting with others.
* RedOniBlueOni: Juleka is the quiet and calm Blue Oni to Rose's more girly and outspoken Red Oni.
* ShrinkingViolet: She's quite shy, and this initially caused her a slight hiccup during her first Showcase. Chapter 59 reveals that she's still struggling with stage fright and the prospect of performing on an outdoor stage as opposed to an indoor stage almost leads to a panic attack that she managed to withheld until the end of the first round.
* SiblingYinYang: The decided dynamic between [[spoiler: her and Luka]]. Though they have similar tastes in fashion, Juleka is a known ShrinkingViolet who [[NightmareFetishist likes and owns]] [[SoulPower Ghost-type Pokémon]] while [[spoiler: Luka]] is more outgoing and charming and specializes with [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Fairy-types]], [[spoiler: which fits as his new role as the Laverre City Gym Leader]]. However, [[spoiler: Luka]] does focus on the [[TheFairFolk more realistic and darker aspects of Fairy-types]], constantly referring to their "hidden fangs" [[spoiler: during Marinette's Gym battle against him in Chapter 46]].
* SoulPower: She has a number of Ghost-Type Pokémon of variety, such as Gastly/Haunter, Jellicent and Gourgeist.

!!Recurring Rivals

[[folder: Lila Rossi]]
A sly and cunning Trainer from [[Anime/PokemonHeroes Alto Mare]] in the Johto region. Lila has a couple of Pokémon League Challenge experiences under her belt and intends to make a name for herself in the Kalos region. She quickly becomes a major rival for Marinette once she takes up an interest in Adrien [[spoiler: and even winds up causing a lot of emotional trouble for the both of them and gets turned into a Bond Hybrid in Chapter 48 after being humiliated by Lady Ledian]]. Lila's deceptive nature has shown to be dangerous in battle; tricking her opponents through her Pokémons' natural abilities and skills in the art of deception, leaving her foes confuse and vulnerable when she strikes.
-----
* AlphaBitch: While she didn't attend Lumiose Academy with Marinette and the others, she acts like a passive-aggressive example. She presents herself as a charming, skilled and friendly foreign Trainer from Alto Mare who's competing in the Kalos League. Behind her [[BitchInSheepsClothing façade]] is a cunning, manipulative and vindictive girl [[ConsummateLiar who'd lie]] to anyone about her social status and battle record regardless if her lies end up hurting others and will manipulate any situation to her benefit. Not to mention to makes it clear to Marinette that she intends to steal Adrien from her.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: When first introduced, Lila is set up to be a more formidable rival for Marinette than Chloé, being more skillful and experienced than her as she traveled around longer and competed in a couple of League Conferences up to the present day. [[spoiler: This is eventually [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] later on. In Chapter 50 it's revealed that at the Johto Silver Conference, she only made the Top 128. After that, she managed to reach the Top 64 of the Hoenn Ever Grande Conference.]]
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: At first she appears to be a subversion, being polite and friendly to new trainers she meets. Key word is appears. In truth, her humble and polite demeanor are simply false modesty that allows her to flaunt her skills and 'accomplishments' all the while she's condescending to those whom she believes are beneath her. [[spoiler: Zig-zagged with while she is indeed a skilled Pokémon trainer and has plenty of experience than the two protagonists combined, she's not as strong as she makes other believes to be]].
* AttentionWhore: Loves being in the spotlight and wants to be revered as a beloved celebrity. She lies about her social status and exaggerates her accomplishments to impress others, especially Adrien.
* BirdsOfAFeather: She shares a lot of similarities with her Mawile; both being deceptive and malicious while appearing cute and harmless to hide their true nature.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: When she first appeared before Adrien and the others, she presented herself as a kind, humble and skilled Pokémon Trainer, though Marinette later finds out the nice girl routine is all an act to get Adrien for herself. In actuality, Lila lies through her teeth, not caring who gets hurt in the process. Her Mawile perfectly mirrors that aspect; as she uses her cute appearance to hide her vicious nature and personality when she lures in her prey.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: After disappearing for fourteen chapters since becoming the latest Bond Hybrid, Lila returns at the end of Chapter 61. This time, with vengeance in mind for both Team Akuma and Lady Ledian]].
* ClingyJealousGirl: Lila is jealous in general over anyone who gets more attention than her, but her jealousy is obvious regarding Adrien, who she knows has a thing for Lady Ledian and [[DramaticIrony is close friends with Marinette]], her rival.
* CombatPragmatist: Lila uses her Pokémon's special abilities and movesets to gain an advantage over her opponents, [[spoiler: which even extends to lying which Pokémon she's actually using]]. Her Mawile and [[spoiler: Zoroark]] reflects this, as they both have Dark-Type attacks and are willing to fight dirty. The former is even known to us their cute appearance to lure in potential victims.
* ConfusionFu: Her battle style involves using tricks and deception through her Pokémon's Abilities and movesets to confuse her opponents. [[spoiler: One of her strategies is having her Zoroark use her Illusion ability to pose as her Ninetales to throw people off]].
* ConsummateLiar: The situation is ambiguous with Lila, who carefully uses vague wording in regards to her accomplishments as a Pokémon Trainer. Averted in the sense that her accomplishments and skills have been validated to an extent, but [[SmallNameBigEgo she tends to make herself sound bigger than she might be]] when it comes to [[CelebrityLie knowing reputable individuals]].
* CunningLikeAFox: She owns a Ninetales and [[spoiler: Zoroark]]. She's deceptive in both battles and outside of battles.
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler: When beaten by Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir, Lila/Zoromba attempted to [[KickTheDog escape without her Zoroark, who was left unconscious]]]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: While her wanting to get back at Team Akuma for forcibly making her into a Bond Hybrid is understandable, she also plots her revenge on Lady Ledian simply because the latter exposes her lies and humiliated her in front of Adrien. [[NeverMyFault Even when Lila was the one who was mostly at fault for it]]]].
* ExtraOreDinary: Her Mawile is part Steel-Type.
* FantasticFoxes: Lila's team, according to WordOfGod (via the author's bio), is based around this. She particularly owns a Ninetales [[spoiler: and a Zoroark]].
* FragileSpeedster: Lila's Ninetales and [[spoiler: Zoroark]] have excellent speed and the latter has excellent special attack and physical attack. However, Ninetales has less than impressive Offensive stats and average Defense and [[spoiler: Zoroark]] has low defense and special defense [[spoiler: which shown in Chapter 39 and 48]].
* GlamourFailure: [[spoiler: Lila's careful in trying to avert this. The reason why her Zoroark takes the guise of her Ninetales is because, with the exception of [[SignatureMove Night Daze]], her Zoroark shares similar movesets that her Ninetales can learn. Keyword is trying. The illusion can start to break if Zoroark gets hit, if her 'Ninetales' is mysteriously immune to Psychic-Type attacks for some reason, or if 'Ninetales' used Night Daze]].
* HateSink: Lila has already been given this treatment in the main series by the fandom due to her interference with the infamous Love Square and being a dishonest, selfish and manipulative person overall, but there's no doubt she's gone even lower in many readers' eyes due to [[spoiler: the audacity she had in throwing herself at Adrien and [[ForcefulKiss stealing]] his SacredFirstKiss while Marinette watched in her hiding place]].
* IShallTauntYou: One of her favorite tactics is to passively mock and taunt her opponents that they are infuriated enough to fall into her trap. [[spoiler: This is how she won her battle against Marinette. By claiming she won't Mega Evolve her Mawile and taking advantage that Marinette dislikes her, she ensures that Marinette won't Mega Evolve her Gardevoir, thus making her lose the advantage]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: Lila exaggerates or outright lies about her skills as a trainer just to be the center of attention, enjoying the praise and admiration that people shower her with. [[spoiler: Her vendetta against Team Akuma and Lady Ledian stems from the HumiliationConga she went through in Chapter 48 and plans to get even with the both of them-- even if it means endangering people in the crossfire]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Lila is rather downplayed as she isn't outwardly malicious, but the author confirmed that her and Marinette’s rivalry was bound to match the intensity of Ash and Paul’s rivalry. Plays it straight in later appearances, particularly in Chapter 47 and 48 where she reveals her true nature as a deceitful and spiteful girl. Some of her Pokémon share their trainer's unpleasant nature; her Mawile was described to take delight in chomping down Marinette's Gardevoir between her horn jaw and her Mismagius is said to enjoy tearing down anyone who gets in her way.
* LightIsNotGood: Ninetales is known for it's reputation as a vindictive {{Mon}} and she represents Lila's cunning nature and Fox motif.
* ManipulativeBitch: Lila's Pokémon team are associated with deception, manipulation and lies: Her Ninetales is known for her species' [[CunningLikeAFox high intelligence and vengeful nature]], [[spoiler: her Zoroark's specialty are [[MasterOfIllusion illusions]]]], her Ditto has the ablity to [[VoluntaryShapeshifter shapeshift into any Pokémon and possibly humans]], her Mismagius is known to [[MindManipulation place people under illusions and hallucinations]] and finally, her Mawile is called the ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Deceiver Pokémon]]'', who are known to [[BitchInSheepsClothing use their cute and harmless appearance to lure their prey]].
* MasterOfIllusion: Aside from [[FantasticFoxes fox archetypes]] according to WordOfGod (via the author's bio), Lila's team also consists of Pokémon associated with illusions and deception, such as her Ditto and [[spoiler: Zoroark]]. [[spoiler: Even when transformed into a Bond Hybrid, Lila specializes in [[YourMindMakesItReal powerful illusions]] due to being bonded with her Zoroark]].
* MindManipulation: Her Ninetales and Mismagius know Confuse Ray, which fits into her deceptive play style.
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler: Blames Lady Ledian for ruining her chances with Adrien and humiliating her, even when it wouldn't happened at all had she not lied about knowing Lady Ledian nor [[ForcefulKiss kissing Adrien without his consent]]]].
* NoNonsenseNemesis: [[spoiler: Compared to previous Bond Hybrids, who simply engaged in battle against Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir, Lila, as Zorombra, was willing to and has openly endangered innocent lives just to spite Lady Ledian by having her Zoroark's illusions terrorize civilians visiting the Poké Ball Factory and [[CombatPragmatist running away instead of staying and fighting against two heroes at once]]]].
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She doesn't leave any space between her and Adrien when flirting with him.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Her Mawile is part Fairy-Type and leans more on [[TheFairFolk folkloric]] aspects of fairies.
* PlayingWithFire: Her Ninetales is a Fire-Type.
* PsychicPowers: Her Ninetales knows Psyshock and her [[spoiler: Zoroark]] knows the move Calm Mind.
* TheRival: She's said to serve as a more competent rival to Marinette [[spoiler: especially since she defeated Marinette in their first uninterrupted battle]].
* SmallNameBigEgo: [[spoiler: As much as she brags about her experience in competing in several past Leagues, Lila didn't make it has a top contender and is using the upcoming Kalos League to overwrite her lackluster League record]].
* SmugSmiler: One of the common expressions Lila is described to have is a sly, devious and confident smirk.
* SmugSnake: Despite being a skilled trainer said to be a greater adversary for Marinette combined with her experience, Lila arguably qualifies as this. She doesn't stop to flaunt her accomplishments, enjoys pushing Chloé or Marinette's buttons for her own amusement due to her experience as a Trainer. She even goes as far as to [[spoiler: steal Adrien's SacredFirstKiss forcibly because of her own entitlement]]. When she's put in a lower or uncomfortable position [[spoiler: such as Adrien's [[MamaBear Marowak]] [[HumiliationConga nearly hitting her in retaliation for violating Adrien's personal space, Lady Ledian exposing her lies in front of Adrien, or falling victim as Team Akuma's latest Bond Hybrid]]]], Lila loses her smug and sly demeanor. [[spoiler: Chapter 50 firmly pushes her as this when Alya reveals her discovery on Lila's past League Challenge records show that she isn't an impressive trainer as she makes herself out to be]].
* StatusBuff: Her Ninetales can jack up her normally average Sp. Attack with Nasty Plot while her [[spoiler: Zoroark]] uses Calm Mind to boost both her Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Her Mawile is capable of Mega Evolving]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: Lila was never a nice person to begin with, but [[spoiler: near the end of Chapter 61, she is inacting her plans to get her revenge on Team Akuma and Lady Ledian, especially the latter. She even goes as far as to send her Mismagius to intercept Liepard Noir's Ghost Pokémon on its way to Snowbelle City. And her plan involves both parties exhausted and everything in disarray by the time she strikes]].
* WakeUpCallBoss: [[spoiler: She's the first of Marinette's rival to defeat her in a battle. As a Bond Hybrid, Lila/Zorombra and Zoroark proves to be more [[CombatPragmatist cunning]] and [[{{Sadist}} malicious]] than the previous Bond Hybrids that Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir faced thus far]].
* YourMindMakesItReal: [[spoiler: The new powers gained by Lila/Zorombra and Zoroark as part of their becoming the latest Bond Hybrid in Chapter 48. The illusions her Zoroark cast are so powerful that even if the victim knows they're not real, their brains are convinced they're being attacked, inflicting real pain as they perceive. Her illusions also play upon the afflicted's emotions, such as making Lady Ledian think that Liepard Noir was betraying her for Zorombra or that Adrien was about to be thrown into a dangerous machine in the Poké Ball Factory]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Kagami Tsurugi]]
A Trainer from a prestigious family of battlers from Sinnoh [[spoiler: with her mother, Tomoe Tsurugi, as a Sinnoh Elite Four member (Sinnoh Champion as of Chapter 59) and her grandfather a retired Champion of Kanto/Johto]]. Seeks to challenge Trainers with strong reputations and has set her sights on Adrien due to his status as Champion Agreste's son. Very straightforward but cordial, Kagami hopes to live up to her family name and defeat anyone who accepts her challenge. Swift and powerful like the art of fencing, Kagami proves to be a formidable Trainer to be reckon with.
-----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Is on the receiving end by [[TheDitz Wayhem]] in Chapter 54, having been called Kasumi, Kamui, [[Anime/AkameGaKill Kurome]], Kaname, and such. She finally puts her foot down on the issue on Chapter 58 when Wayhem gets her name wrong [[RuleOfThree a third time]] by calling her "Kame". [[note]]''Kame'' means turtle in Japanese. There is a term that uses the word, known as ''kame-atama''. This literally means "turtle head", but is Japanese slang for "penis", which is why Kagami had stopped the RunningGag before Wayhem could accidentally try to use more Japanese words that start with "k" and inadvertently say something really offensive. A notable example of this comes from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' regarding the well-known interactions between Nia and Zeke. [[/note]]
* TheAce: As Adrien's {{Foil}}, Kagami proves to be quite the competent Trainer upon her debut. It also helps that [[spoiler: her mother is a current Sinnoh Elite Four member and her grandfather is a former Kanto/Johto Champion]].
* ActionInitiative: Her Bisharp knows [[SneakAttack Sucker Punch]] which allows her to attack first before her opponent can. [[spoiler: This is how she and Adrien's Gallade were able to end in a draw in Chapter 58]].
* AnIcePerson: She owns a Froslass, associating with her 'Ice Queen' personality.
* BerserkButton: As someone with a strong sense of honor, she cannot tolerate deceptive and underhand tactics in battles such lying about Pokémon moveset. [[spoiler: She initially thought Marinette lied about Tikki using Supersonic when in reality Tikki learned Bug Buzz in place of Supersonic in the amidst of the battle. She does apologize for her outburst after Luka and Adrien come to Marinette's defense]].
* BladesBelowTheShoulder: Kagami and her family have Pokémon that are associated with the blade, as they pride themselves as [[MasterSwordsman sword masters]]. Kagami's Empoleon knows Steel Wing that can let her wings function like swords, her Bisharp has retractable blades on her wrists while her Kabutops wields dual scythes as her hands.
* BloodKnight: Kagami is made to be a downplayed, not-so-violent example as she seeks out Pokémon Trainers with reputations and [[ChallengeSeeker challenge them to battles]]. So far, Adrien is at the top of her list.
* BrutalHonesty: She's straight-forward and blunt, to the point that what she says may be well-intentioned, can come off as harsh to others at the same time.
* ChallengeSeeker: Makes it a point to challenge reputable Trainers to see their skills for herself and enforce her family's own powerful reputation.
* CharacterDevelopment: Since her first appearance, all that Kagami cared about was being the best by challenging Trainers with established repute and living up to her family name, though it becomes clear that [[spoiler: her steadfast beliefs were strictly instilled into her by her mother]]. Her later interactions with Adrien upon crossing paths [[spoiler: help her discover her own desire to understand and have friends, which calls back to the words her mother gives her when she left for her journey, even though she was initially considered a major rival. Kagami becomes certain that they're about the bonds of friendship formed "when one life meets another", but lacks the conviction to say it's true to her mother in Chapter 60. Her battle with Marinette in the same chapter, who she would view to have close friends, is to help her understanding of friendship]].
* CuttingThroughEnergy: Her Empoleon is capable of using Steel Wing to cut through [[SwordBeam Psycho Cut]] that Plagg summoned through [[ConfusionFu Assist]] with incredible ease.
* DishingOutDirt: Her Steelix is part Ground-type and her Kabutops is part Rock-type.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Kagami's official debut in Chapter 46 has her immediately taking up Luka's challenge at the end of the Laverre City Fashion Show, even leaping onto the stage to show her determination and eagerness at the challenge. After winning the battle, she asks the whereabouts of Adrien yet unlike the others, is one of the few challengers to refer Adrien by name instead of 'Champion Agreste's son'. This shows both her straight-forward and no-nonsense attitude, but also her honorable and respectful side.
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Her Empoleon is a noble and prideful royal penguin who can swim as fast as a jet boat.
* ExtraOreDinary: Owns a Bisharp, an Empoleon, and a Steelix.
* FossilRevival: Owns a Kabutops.
* FriendlyRival: Though she's Adrien's main rival, [[spoiler: she softens up and is open to a friendship with Adrien in Chapter 58]].
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler: What she is coming to realize upon spending time with Adrien and more peers their age, even thinking that friendship is the "something is born" from her mother's words]].
* IWorkAlone: Prefers to keep to herself as she appears to not be familiar of the concept of rivals also being friends.
* MakingASplash: Her Empoleon and Kabutops are part Water-Type.
* MasterSwordsman: It's stated that she's one of the few who trains in fencing alongside her Pokémon, even engaging in combat with them. Her Bisharp and Kabutops are associated with blades.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Even with her serious personality, Kagami is still a child at heart, [[spoiler: having bantered with Wayhem in the majority of Chapter 54]].
* NotSoStoic: Kagami always maintains her composure, but she has shown to lose her cool. [[spoiler: In Chapter 54, although she remained indifferent to Wayhem's tendency to misname her, it soon became obvious that she was slowly getting annoyed by it. This culminates in her being pissed off after Wayhem failed to identify Adrien's Marowak's gender]].
* OneHitKill: [[spoiler: Her Bisharp knows Guillotine as of Chapter 60, but she used it as a finishing move against Tikki]].
* PrivilegedRival: She's the daughter of Tomoe Tsurugi, one of Sinnoh's Elite Four [[spoiler: turned Champion come Chapter 59]] and she comes from a prestigious family well-known for their blade-style battling.
* TheRival: Her initial role to be one for Adrien. [[spoiler: Becomes his and Wayhem's rival in Chapter 54]].
* StarterMon: Kagami owns an Empoleon, the fully evolved form of Piplup, the Water-Type Sinnoh StarterMon.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Kagami's aloof and stoic attitude makes her appear as a serious trainer and with her straightforward nature, can come off as hostile. She admits to herself she isn't a people-person, yet she is shown to be friendly and polite beneath her icy and aloof exterior. [[spoiler: Notably that she compliments Wayhem for his ability as a trainer from how well he raised his Pokémon despite their initially rough start in the Chapter 54]]. Her Froslass represents her aloof personality.
* TheStoic: Compared to the colorful cast of lively characters in the story, Kagami is pretty quiet and reserved.
* TransformationTrinket: [[spoiler: In Chapter 58, Adrien was the only one able to identify a Key Stone's sparkle from behind Kagami's tie and blouse collar. Kagami briefly shows it to be a black choker necklace, meant to be modeled after the Dragon Miraculous, but doesn't use it yet and hides it in her collar]].
* TsurimeEyes: Her defining characteristic, aside from her dark hair, is her sharp brown eyes.
* UnknownRival: Since her debut in the story, Adrien isn't aware of her existence at this point. [[spoiler: She finally crosses paths with Adrien in Chapter 54]].
* UseYourHead: Her Bisharp knows Iron Head, which can cause the target to flinch when hit.
* WeaponOfChoice: Seems to frequently call upon her Bisharp than her other Pokémon.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Since meeting Adrien in Chapter 54, [[spoiler: Kagami begins to experience new feelings outside of her usual stoicism and desire to be the best. She had a few bouts of such during her battle in Chapter 56. And at the end of the battle, she starts to believe that friendship is the thing that is born "when one life meets another"]].
* WhenSheSmiles: [[spoiler: Adrien thinks to himself when Kagami smiles a real smile near the end of Chapter 54 that she looks cute with it and hopes she would smile more often]].
* WorthyOpponent: She challenges [[spoiler: Marinette]] despite her lack of a strong reputation, [[spoiler: only going on Adrien's word that she's an amazing Trainer]]. Though Kagami does say that she had more intense battles [[spoiler: after defeating Marinette]], she is still gracious to acknowledge her skills and bond with her Pokémon.
* YukiOnna: Owns a Froslass.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Mireille Caquet]]
A former graduate from Lumiose Trainer Academy, being a few years older than Marinette and her class. Mireille is the current Kalos Queen, and thus, the ultimate obstacle for any Pokémon Performer aiming for the title.
-----

* TheAce: From the story beginning, she is the best Pokémon Performer in the Kalos region.
* ClarkKenting: [[spoiler: In Chapters 59 and 60, she disguises herself with a beret and glasses, similar to what Aria did in the anime, as to avoid public attention. She also calls herself "Mirabel"]].
* FamedInStory: She's the current Kalos Queen, a title any aspiring Pokémon Performer strives to achieve.
* TheFashionista: Knows her fashion styles pretty well [[spoiler: as demonstrated while window shopping with Juleka in Chapter 60]]. It is a given as she is Kalos Queen.
* SignatureMove: [[RandomEffectSpell Weather Ball]].
* StealthMentor: Downplayed. She is not outright antagonistic, but she is still the top rival in the world of Pokémon Showcases. [[spoiler: In Chapter 59, she approaches Juleka as a mysterious fan named Mirabel after Juleka loses the Couriway Showcase and in the next chapter, she helps her out by asking her what it means to be Kalos Queen and [[ArmorPiercingQuestion why she persists on the path of a Pokémon Performer]] as to renew her resolve]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: In Chapter 60 as Mirabel, she shares a vague story with Juleka as to open up a bit about her, which was about how she had a best friend growing up, hinted to be Aurore, and they competed in many competitions together until their last competition suddenly resulted in their break up, with Mireille winning and her best friend losing]].
* WeaponOfChoice: [[TeruTeruBozu Castform]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Wayhem]]
A Trainer who claims to be Adrien's biggest fan, to the point that he dresses like him. His obsession towards Champion Agreste's son is near-Marinette levels. He hopes to become a strong and cool Trainer like Adrien and wants to become his apprentice. [[spoiler: He was also part of the audience that watched Adrien's exhibition match against Gabriel, spurring him to seek out Adrien, eventually fiding him at the end of Chapter 53]].
-----

* AccidentalMisnaming: Subjected Kagami to this, likely because he doesn't care about anyone who isn't Adrien Agreste. Kagami finally puts her foot down and even threatens him to stop getting her name wrong in Chapter 58 when he mistakenly calls her "Kame". [[note]]''Kame'' means turtle in Japanese. There is a term that uses the word, known as ''kame-atama''. This literally means "turtle head", but in Japanese slang, it represents penis, which is why Kagami had stopped the RunningGag before Wayhem could accidentally try to use more Japanese words that start with "k". [[/note]]
* AfroAsskicker: Revealed on the author's profile to own a Bouffalant as a reference to Party Crasher. He even knows Head Charge, which is called Afro Break in Japanese.
* CharacterTics: Frequently pumps his arms to show excitement.
* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler: As valiantly as he fought against [[TheAce Adrien]] during their double battle, he was unable to knock out any of Adrien's Pokémon despite tiring them out before losing the match]].
* TheDitz: Enthusiastic and impatient, but not too bright as he keeps getting Kagami's name wrong.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[spoiler: His first official line at the end of Chapter 53, continuing off into Chapter 54 where his identity is revealed, is to loudly declare he found Adrien. Then from Adrien's perspective, Adrien was unnerved by the boisterous voice and the fact that his biggest fan was wearing the same clothes he was wearing]].
%% * {{Expy}}: Of [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Barry]], being a hyperactive trainer who is a [[FanBoy huge fan]] towards [[TheAce Adrien]], just like how Barry admires Paul in the anime.
* FailedASpotCheck: During his double battle against Adrien, he was hoping that his Delcatty's Cute Charm Ability would affect Adrien's Marowak. Cute Charm only affects those Pokémon who are the opposite gender of the user, while Pokémon of the same gender are unaffected. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why Delcatty's Cute Charm didn't work on Marowak, something that [[spoiler: Kagami]] points out.
* FunnyAfro: Owns a Bouffalant, meant to reference his akumatized form, Party Crasher.
* GagNose: Owns a Nosepass, which can evolve into [[BadassMustache Probopass]], another reference to Party Crasher.
* GeniusDitz: Despite his goofiness, Wayhem is a capable Trainer [[spoiler: as he managed to corner Adrien's Pokémon a few times before realizing they were too tough for him to contend with]].
* GracefulLoser: Even though he lost to Adrien in his first battle, he still considers it the best thing that has happened to him.
* GreenThumb: His Chesnaught is part Grass-type.
* HeroWorshipper: To Adrien.
* LargeHam: Combined with NoIndoorVoice, Wayhem is one of the most expressive characters among the cast. He even has his own self-given title: Bringer of Mayhem.
* LargeHamTitle: [[RhymesOnADime Wayhem, Bringer of Mayhem]]!
* LoonyFan: His admiration for Adrien puts Marinette's to shame, to the point that even Adrien was initially unnerved by him.
* {{Keet}}: He is very excitable, especially when it comes to Adrien.
* NoIndoorVoice: Most of his sentences end in exclamations to signify his passionate personality.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: When he finally got to meet his idol in person, he wasted no time getting close with Adrien literally.
* NonElemental: Owns a Delcatty, likely to match Adrien's cat motif.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Probably. Even Adrien wonders if that's his real name.
* TheRival: He is another personal rival for Adrien outside of Kagami and his friends and classmates.
* SmellySkunk: Owns a Skuntank, which weaponizes smells. According to the author's page, this is meant to reference how Wayhem fended off Gorizilla in the main show.
* StarterMon: He owns a Chesnaught, the final evolution of Chespin.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Would occasionally say his full name and title for the theatrics.

!!Team Akuma

[[folder: As a whole]]
The villainous team of the story. Dressed in gaudy and questionably-designed purple suits, Team Akuma is a crime syndicate who terrorizes Kalos in their wake. Fanatically loyal to their leader, they share his belief on a perfect and beautiful world and will do anything to make that vision a reality-- by any means necessary.
-----
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Team Akuma abducts Trainers under their leader’s command, to which he uses his Malamar’s Hypnosis to ensure total cooperation before subjecting them to Mega Evolution energy, which from Pokémon XY&Z was shown to subjugate even a [[OlympusMons Zygarde]]. Not even the Grunts are immune to this as Poison Moth has hinted that his lackeys have been also subjected to brainwashing.
* CombatPragmatist: They are not above fighting dirty to get their way, whether it's holding hostages, stealing or ambushing defenseless Trainers or Pokémon to achieve their goals.
* DissonantSerenity: During the [[AndIMustScream creation of the Bond Hybrid]], the Team Akuma grunts are described to be observing this disturbing process with morbid fascination [[TransformationHorror while the victims and their Pokémon are screaming in pain]].
%% {{Expy}}: Of Team Flare.
* KickTheDog:
** When Adrien and Alya were ambushed by Team Akuma [[spoiler: and Adrien saving Alya from a surprise attack by the grunt's Gulpin]], in the process they [[spoiler: destroyed the Jaws fossil Alya was carrying]]. The grunts callously disregard the damage as they claim they could get more from Glittering Cave.
** [[spoiler: How they kidnapped Ivan? By having Venomoth using Psychic on Mylène and using her as a hostage]].

* OurFairiesAreDifferent: As to uphold the Laverre Gym's theme type, he uses Fairy-type Pokémon like Clefable, Slurpuff, and Azumarill.
* RealMenWearPink: Is more than willing to be a part of hosting the Laverre fashion show the Gym holds every season, which seems to be predominately run by women. That said, he's not a pushover in battles.
* ShipperOnDeck: He picks up on Marinette's interest in Adrien while sitting with her during the Couriway Showcase in Chapter 59. [[spoiler: During Marinette and Kagami's battle while sitting with Adrien, he subtly urges him to pay more attention to Marinette as to slowly allow him to reciprocate her feelings]].
* SiblingYinYang: The decided dynamic between [[spoiler: him and Juleka]]. Though they have similar tastes in fashion, Juleka is a known ShrinkingViolet who [[NightmareFetishist likes and owns]] [[SoulPower Ghost-type Pokémon]] while [[spoiler: Luka]] is more outgoing and charming and specializes with [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Fairy-types]], [[spoiler: which fits as his new role as the Laverre City Gym Leader]]. However, [[spoiler: Luka]] does focus on the [[TheFairFolk more realistic and darker aspects of Fairy-types]], constantly referring to their "hidden fangs" [[spoiler: during Marinette's Gym battle against him in Chapter 46]].

[[folder: Marianne Lenoir]]
An elderly woman born with psychic powers, the most prominent being the ability to look into the future, Marianne has held the title of Gym Leader of Anistar City for a seeming long time. She has aided the Kalos region in the past with her clairvoyance, protecting the people from imminent disasters when the stars allow her to foresee them. [[spoiler: She also has a special relationship with Fu, guiding Marinette to find him in Terminus Cave after she defeats her in a Gym battle in Chapter 56]].
-----
* AdaptationalBadass: She's a powerful Psychic-user in this story.
* AnimalMotifs: Her cloak has Celebi body outlines.
* AntiMagic: Xatu's Magic Bounce, which caught Marinette off guard when she had Leavanny attempt to restrain her with String Shot, only to discover the move reflected back on Leavanny. [[spoiler: Marinette later uses this to her advantage to get Marianne to lower her guard, by having Leavanny use String Shot again and getting Togekiss to take the hit to be slowed down. This is to make her the fastest Pokémon while Trick Room is active]].
* BadassTeacher: Marianne has Simon as her leading apprentice and several Psychics studying under her tutelage in the Anistar Gym to hone their abilities and deepen their bonds with their Pokémon. As Marinette experienced in her Gym battle, Marianne is a force to be reckoned with in both her psychic abilities and experience as a Gym Leader.
* BlowYouAway: Owns a Xatu, a dual Psychic/Flying-type.
* CombatClairvoyance: Both her Xatu and Starmie use Future Sight, combining their powers to set up a devastating and incoming attack that is assure to strike.
* CoolOldLady: She is kind and grandmotherly to Marinette and her friends. Even her students greatly admire her.
* CrazyPrepared: Xatu's and Starmie's movesets and Abilities complement each other well for nearly every situation, [[spoiler: particularly Xatu's Trick Room and Starmie's Analytical]].
* DiscardAndDraw: [[spoiler: A combination of Xatu's Trick Room and Starmie's Analytical ability decreases Starmie's speed in exchange for a tremendous power boost to its Attack stats]].
* DualBoss: Marianne uses her Xatu and Starmie against Marinette, who in turn chose Leavanny and Togekiss.
%% * {{Expy}}: Of Olympia, being a wise older woman with clairvoyant powers and teaching younger Psychics how to enhance their powers and bonds with their Pokémon.
* TheFatalist: Played with. Part of her theme during her battle against Marinette is how everything has a set path to their inevitable outcomes, ironically referencing in "Backwarder" her goal to change the past due to a misunderstanding between her and Fu. She even questions Marinette what her belief in fate is, asking if her victory was a result of her determination or that it was inevitable.
* MakingASplash: Her Starmie, which is part-Water-type.
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: The phases of Marianne's Gym battle have Valerie's and Olympia's battles from the anime combined: the former using Trick Room as the final phase while the latter uses dual Future Sight]].
* NeverMessWithGranny: She can be assumed to be as old as Fu and is a tough Gym Leader.
* PsychicPowers: Has clairvoyance, a degree of levitation, and specializes in Psychic-types.
* {{Seer}}: What Marianne is in this story and fittingly owns a Xatu.
* SecretKeeper: She knows Fu and the importance of his role. She also knows the true identities of Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir due to her clairvoyance.
* StealthMentor: Downplayed. Throughout Marinette's Gym battle, [[spoiler: Marianne enforces the concepts of fate by berating Marinette's lack of preparedness whenever Marianne had the upper hand and saying how her loss was inevitable, but it only spurred [[{{Determinator}} Marinette]] to push forward despite the overwhelming odds]].
* StealthPun: Her name in the show is meant to reference the Marianne symbol for French resistance during World War II. With her Psychic powers in this story it unintentionally serves as an homage to Marie Anne Lenormand, a famous fortune teller from the Napoleonic era.
* SupportPartyMember: Xatu's only offensive moves are Psychic and Future Sight. Her other moves are [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]] and Trick Room.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Initially before Marianne's debut in the main show, the role of Anistar Gym Leader was given to Simon Grimault. Instead, he is Marianne's top apprentice, designated to succeed her once she decides to retire.

!!Kalos Elite Four and Champion

[[folder: Gabriel Agreste]]
Adrien's father, the current reigning Kalos Champion, and successful Kalos fashion designer. Strict, disciplined and aloof, Gabriel is the ultimate challenge for any contenders of the Kalos League. He is also well-known to be an elusive celebrity and is a perfectionist; in his fashion designs, Pokémons, his son and his legacy, and most of all, his ideal of beauty. [[spoiler:He is also Poison Moth, Team Akuma Leader.]]
%%Tropes that apply to Poison Moth should remain in the Poison Moth folder, at least for the time being.
-----
* AbusiveParents: Just like in the show, while he's not physically abusive, Gabriel can be emotionally abusive when grooming Adrien to become his successor. Aside from micromanaging his son's life in order to succeed him as Kalos Champion, [[spoiler: he posed a challenge to Trainers to be merciless to his son if they aspire to compete in the Kalos League. Basically sending a horde of trainers to challenge his son in order to test his son's abilities]]. Moreover Nino reveals in Chapter 41 the details of Adrien's [[TrainingFromHell training]] when he was around Manon's age. [[spoiler: Specifically, Gabriel had his assistant Nathalie oversee Adrien's battle training under his supervision while [[ToughLove ordering her to not hold back]], [[WouldHurtAChild even if he was a child back then]]]].
* TheAce: The Kalos region's strongest Trainer and top fashion designer.
* BrutalHonesty: In Chapter 41, [[spoiler: Gabriel doesn't even attempt to hide the fact that he's less than impressed of Adrien's performance during his [[CurbStompBattle one-sided]] exhibition match against his son, pointing out the mistakes he made.]]
* DiagonalCut: Gabriel's [[spoiler: Mega Absol's Megahorn]] inflicts this on Adrien's [[spoiler: [[SuperMode Mega Gallade]]]] during their exhibition match, which is described to take the form of a SinisterScythe.
%% * {{Expy}}: Of Lysandre in regards to his views of beauty and perfection.
* FamedInStory: He's a famous fashion designer and the most powerful trainer in the Kalos region. He's also known to be elusive to the public, only appearing in important events and even then he rarely shows up for those.
* FashionDesigner: On top of being the reigning Kalos Champion, he is a world-renowned fashion designer and Marinette's idol. [[spoiler: He may be the one who designed the uniforms for Team Akuma, ironically as they are described to be gaudy by character]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: His call to Adrien at the end of Chapter 56, letting him know he'll be very busy for the next few days and cannot by bothered no matter what. While this may come off as typical, [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] dryly by Adrien himself, [[spoiler: it is hinted that the "quarry" Gabriel is after might be [[OlympusMons Yveltal]], as he now has the means to locate the embodiment of death since Chapter 52]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: During his harsh TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to his son after their exhibition match, Gabriel noted that Adrien slacked off during his Mega Evolution training, as he could've started after his third Gym Battle in Shalour City since Adrien had all the tools he needed by that point. [[WillfullyWeak Including the Dawn Stone he used in Chapter 40]]. Needless to say, Adrien doesn't deny the accusation that he could've evolved Kirlia earlier]].
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Given the revelation by the end of Chapter 50, Gabriel probably upset Nino on purpose in Chapter 42 to leave him vulnerable for a Team Akuma ambush]].
* ParentalNeglect: Like in the original show, Gabriel is distant from his son Adrien, only checking up on him so often in regards to grooming Adrien to succeed him and become the next Kalos Champion.
* ThePerfectionist: His goal in life is to achieve beauty and perfection, both as the Kalos Champion and a fashion designer. Which was why [[spoiler: he was disappointed with Adrien's performance in his exhibition match]].
* PetTheDog: Near the end of Chapter 52, he calls Adrien, not to check up on his Gym progression as usual, but to check up on his son's safety and wellbeing out of genuine concern. [[spoiler: Especially when he feared that Adrien would be caught up in Team Akuma's scheme around the area]].
* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Absol's Mega Evolution]].
* ToughLove: Harsh as he is regarding the treatment towards his own son [[spoiler: such as encouraging all Trainers working to qualify for the Kalos to battle Adrien on the spot]], Gabriel does love Adrien and believes he has his best interest on heart.
* TransformationTrinket: He keeps his Key Stone hidden within his blazer while [[spoiler: his Absol]] wears his Mega Stone in a tie that matches his Trainer's.
* WeaponOfChoice: His [[spoiler: Absol]].
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Just like in the show, Gabriel is rarely around Adrien's life, always busy with his role as the Kalos Champion and promoting his Pokémon-inspired clothing line overseas. In fact, [[spoiler: he left Adrien's [[TrainingFromHell strict and harsh training schedule]] to his assistant Nathalie]]. In Chapter 41, [[spoiler: Adrien attempts to ask his father on if he could visit him more often before their exhibition match begun, only for his request to fall on deaf ears]].
* WorldsBestWarrior: As the Champion, he's ''the'' most skilled trainer in the Kalos region. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, he's also the leader of the notorious Team Akuma who threatens Kalos]].

[[folder: Nathalie Sancoeur]]

-----
* TheDragon: Is naturally Gabriel's [[spoiler: and Poison Moth's]] second-in-command.
%% * {{Expy}}: Of Malva, from specializing in Fire-types [[spoiler:to her association with the villainous team]].
* {{Irony}}: Usually, Trainers that own or specialize in Fire-type Pokémon are HotBlooded in personality. [[TheStoic Nathalie]] is anything but. [[spoiler: Though according to Adrien, she does change along the lines of "like a switch going off in her head" when she gets into a battle]].
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Downplayed in Chapter 50. While she did show concern if Poison Moth was planning to turn Adrien into a Bond Hybrid, she still loyally serves him and isn't trying to dissuade him from continuing his horrific acts against Kalos]].
* PlayingWithFire: Her specialty.
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Is the only one that knows that Gabriel is Team Akuma's masked leader]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Jagged Stone]]
Dragon Specialist of the Elite Four. A popular rock star who is known to always be accompanied by his Krookodile, Fang.
-----
%% * {{Expy}}: Jagged Stone is a Dragon Expert and a rock star, much like Ryuki from Sun & Moon.
* GracefulLoser: He lost to Wang Cheng in their exhibition match in Chapter 45 but enjoyed the battle so much he didn't mind, congratulating Wang on his victory.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: With the exception of Fang, his team is comprised of Dragon-types. However, as a Krookodile, Fang is capable of learning Dragon-type moves.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Armand D'Argencourt]]
Steel Specialist of the Elite Four. Actively practices swordsmanship.
-----

Due to to the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, the page has been split up into subpages. Beware of spoiler!

* PsychicPowers: Alya's Meditite/Medicham and [[spoiler Trixx her Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox]] are part Psychic-Type while her Porygon-Z is a full Psychic-Type.

** Alix's favorite mythical Pokémon are [[TimeTravel Celebi]] and [[TimeMaster Dialgia]].

* MonkeyKingLite: Chapter 61 reveals that he got a Chimchar named Xuppu from a trade, as a reference to being the wielder of the Monkey Miraculous. [[spoiler:It would evolve into Monferno after using it to battle Marinette and Ayla alongisde Ondine in a double battle]].

* StarterMon: Mudkip, as a {{foil}} to Alix's Torchic.

* AmazonianBeauty: She is described to be tall girl with broad shoulders.

* WalkingSwimsuitScene: She wears a bathing suit underneath her swiming parka as to show her status as a Water-type specialist.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Lila was never a nice person to begin with, but [[spoiler: near the end of Chapter 61, she is inacting her plans to get her revenge on Team Akuma and Lady Ledian, especially the latter. She even goes as far as to send her Mismaguis to intercept Liepard Noir's Ghost Pokémon on its way to Snowbelle City. And her plan involves both parties exhausted and everything in disarray by the time she strikes]].

* AccidentalMisnaming: Is on the receiving end by [[TheDitz Wayhem]] in Chapter 54, having been called Kasumi, Kamui, [[Anime/AkameGaKill Kurome]], Kaname, and such. She finally puts her foot down on the issue on Chapter 58 when Wayhem gets her name wrong [[RuleOfThree a third time]] by calling her "Kame". [[note]]''Kame'' means turtle in Japanese. There is a term that uses the word, known as ''kame-atama''. This literally means "turtle head", but is Japanese slang for "penis", which is why Kagami had stopped the RunningGag before Wayhem could accidentally try to use more Japanese words that start with "k" and inadvertently say something really offensive. [[/note]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: Lila was never a nice person to begin with, but [[spoiler: near the end of Chapter 61, she is inacting her plans to get her revenge on Team Akuma and Lady Ledian, especially the latter. She even goes as far as to send her Mismaguis to intercept Liepard Noir's Ghost Pokémon on its way to Snowbelle City]].

* {{Jerkass}}: Lila is rather downplayed as she isn't outwardly malicious, but the author confirmed that her and Marinette’s rivalry was bound to match the intensity of Ash and Paul’s rivalry. Plays it straight in later appearances, particularly in Chapter 47 and 48 where she reveals her true nature as a deceitful and spiteful girl. Her Mawile is a prominent example among her Pokémon team, as she took delight in chomping down Marinette's Gardevoir between her horn jaw.

* AmazonianBeauty: She is described to be tall with broad shoulders.

* BareFistedMonk: Tying into his boisterous attitude, his love for training, and rivalry with Alix, he owns a few Fighting-Type Pokémon. His Machop/Machoke is a pure Fighting-Type while his Hawlucha is part Fighting-Type.

* AmbigiousSituation: Unlike the show [[spoiler: which shows her in a type of coma]], there is no indication to her current fate. However, the end of Chapter 61 sheds some light that [[spoiler: Gabriel's desire to capture [[OlympusMons Xerneas]] in particular as it is said to be the only one with the power to "bring her back"]].

* MythologyGag: The beginning scene of Chapter 57 features her and [[spoiler: the Dedenne her mother caught for her]] playing around with [[spoiler: Dedenne]] stumbling upon a [[spoiler: Zygarde Cell]] hidden in the bushes. This references her Expy's role from the anime with the narration even indicating that "in another universe" she [[spoiler: would play a very role in saving the world]].

[[folder: [[spoiler: Emilie Agreste]]]]
Adrien's mother and Gabriel's wife, who is currently absent due to unknown circumstances.

[[folder: Alya Césaire [[spoiler:/ Delphox Rouge]]]]

A water-type specialist who used to attend the same Trainer School as Marinette, before she moved to Alola, where she spend her next formative years. She has a passion for swimming, and likes to specialize in Water-type Pokemon.

* LimitBreak: She can use Z-moves.

* NonElemental: He is Secondary Normal-Type.

* WakeUpCallBoss: [[spoiler: She's the first of Marinette's rival to defeat her in a battle. As a Bond Hybrid, Lila/Zorombra and Zoroark prove to be more [[CombatPragmatist cunning]] and [[{{Sadist}} malicious]] than the previous Bond Hybrids that Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir faced thus far]].

* MasterSwordsman: It's a given as her whole family is famed to be associated with the sword, Pokemon included, and that she most likely trained Kagami herself before her daughter departed for her journey. Plus, she uses a bokken as her blind walking stick.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Tikki is part Bug-Type and knows Silver Wind.

* FamedInStory: She's the current Kalos Queen, a title any aspiring Pokémon Performer strives to achieve.

* HiddenDepth: [[spoiler: He wants to become a great musician and Trainer like his idol, Jagged Stone. Prior to accepting the Gym Leader position, he was left in disillusionment after competing in the recent League Conference with a lack of purpose]].

* WakeUpCallBoss: [[spoiler: She's the first of Marinette's rival to defeat her in a battle. As a Bond Hybrid, Lila/Zorombra and Zoroark proves to be more [[CombatPragmatist cunning]] and [[{{Sadist}} malicious]] than the previous Bond Hybrids Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir faced thus far]].

* CastingAShadow: Her Gastly/Haunter can learn Dark-type moves naturally and the Ghost-Type moves he knows like Shadow Punch and Night Shadow have a darkness flavor to them.

* ShrinkingViolet: She's quite shy, and this initially caused her a slight hiccup during her first Showcase.
