It is treated more as an AlternateUniverseFic in which the entire cast from Miraculous Ladybug is placed in the world of Pokémon. More specifically, the setting is centered upon the Kalos region, given that [[FantasyCounterpartCulture it is inspired by France]]. The story mainly focuses on Marinette Dupain-Cheng, as well as her friends and classmates recognizable from the main series, as they graduate out of a school for Pokémon Trainers and engage in their respective journeys throughout Kalos to learn more about Pokémon and the world around them.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Downplayed and averted in Chapter 47. [[spoiler: Lila]] kisses [[spoiler: Adrien]], notably against his will, after getting him alone. This is certainly not PlayedForLaughs as [[spoiler: Marinette]] watched the whole thing and is most likely hurt or worse as a result.
* DramaticDrop: At the end of Chapter 47, [[spoiler: Marinette drops her phone upon witnessing Lila kissing Adrien]].



* {{Fauxshadowing}}: With the mirror girl heavily implied to foreshadow [[spoiler: Kagami's arrival]], Marinette fears from seeing her in person that she would steal Adrien away [[spoiler: due to her personal horror show of watching fake Adrien embracing the mirror girl in the scary house]]. It appears that [[spoiler: Kagami]] has no obvious romantic interest in Adrien and [[ChallengeSeeker only wants to challenge him to test her mettle]].

** Following the Fauxshadowing entry, the mirror girl from the scary house adopts [[spoiler: Lila's]] eyes before proceeding to [[spoiler: kill the fake Adrien in front of Marinette]]. [[spoiler: Lila]] reappears in Chapter 47 and proceeds to cause trouble by [[spoiler: defeating Marinette in a battle and then forcing herself on Adrien with a hiding Marinette watching the whole thing]].



* FromBadToWorse: It was bad in Chapter 47 that Marinette loses to [[spoiler: Lila]] in a Pokémon battle with Adrien on the line. It got worse near the end [[spoiler: when Lila [[ForcefulKiss steals a kiss]] from Adrien with Marinette watching from behind a tree, who then [[DramaticDrop drops her phone]] out of shock]].



* HateSink: [[spoiler: Lila]] has already been given this treatment in the main series by the fandom due to her interference with the infamous Love Square, 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]].



* LittleNo: Serves as the WhamLine at the end of Chapter 47 [[spoiler: by Marinette upon seeing [[ForcefulKiss Lila kissing Adrien]]]].



** In Chapter 47, after evolving, [[spoiler: Alya's Medicham]] goes off to find a [[spoiler: Medichamite]] in front of a well in Laverre City. That happens to be its location in the games, though it's only available post-game story.
