A rival makes you think about a character that has equal or at least semi-equal importance to the story/game, I think. That's not the feel I get from Belle, so maybe midboss is more accurate? lol
Ehh...that's not very valid to be honest. I did mention Barry from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. He was only a rival in persisting to challenge you. He didn't look badass in any way but he still made his mark as a "rival".
The term is being used too specifically when in actuality it's very broad.
(By the way, I believe you mean "Dark Adonis".)
