N's Zorua: Difference between revisions

gender=Unknown |

Zorua first appeared in ''[[PS477|Lost in the Big City]]'', where {{adv|Black}} encountered it at [[Castelia City]] under the {{a|Illusion|guise}} of a young boy. Assuming the boy to be a lost child, Black attempted to find Zorua's parents and left his {{p|Tepig}}, [[Tep]], to watch over Zorua while he went to go find help. After Black left, Zorua revealed its true colors and attacked Tep. Angered, Tep battled against Zorua, which took them through various different floors of the building they were in. Eventually, Tep defeated Zorua with a large fireball, forcing it to escape.

In ''[[PS489|Drawing Bridges]]'', Zorua causes havoc on the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]], preventing people from crossing over it. When Black attempts to cross the bridge, he encounters Zorua disguised as a boy. By transforming into various Pokémon, Zorua harasses Black as he attempts to make his way to the other side. After using his ability to clear his mind, Black sees through Zorua's abilities and defeats it, forcing Zorua to run off.

In ''[[PS509|Will the Truth Come Out?]]'', Zorua is used to battle against [[Alder]] in a [[Double Battle]]. After a long battle, N and Alder are reduced to one and two Pokémon each, respectively. With its Illusion [[Ability]], Zorua disguises itself as [[Gigi]] in order to take an attack from Alder's {{p|Accelgor}}, leaving it wide open for Gigi to defeat it with a powerful {{t|Fire}} attack. Afterward, Zorua and Gigi are made to battle against Black's Bo, {{adv|White}}'s {{Adv|Amanda}}, and Cedric Juniper's {{p|Samurott}}. The three fully [[evolve]]d starter Pokémon quickly defeat Zorua and Gigi. Shortly afterward, N restores his entire team with [[Max Revive]]s and then takes off with {{adv|Zekrom}} carrying everyone. As they leave, Zorua and {{p|Tympole}} use their abilities to destroy the third remaining [[Pokédex]] in Cedric's possession.

Prior to [[Team Plasma]]'s invasion of the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}}, N released all of his Pokémon, including Zorua. Despite this, in ''[[PS522|Homecoming]]'', Zorua attempts to assist N and Zekrom in their final battle against Black and {{adv|Reshiram}}. Zorua's attempt to disguise itself as Zekrom fails as Black easily sees through transformation and has Reshiram attack Zekrom, defeating it and N at the same time. Although N was confused as to why Zorua tried to help him, Black explains that Zorua cared about N and wished to stay with him. N decided to accept Zorua's feelings, but not before scolding it. The two then shared an embrace, but soon fell asleep from exhaustion.

After waking up, N rode on Zekrom's back and said his farewells as he left [[Unova]] to find his own path in life. Despite accepting its feelings, N left Zorua behind as it frantically tried to catch up with him.

In [[PS539]], Zorua is revealed to have joined [[Rood]]'s side as one of the members of Team Plasma who remain loyal to N's ideals. Zorua is sent out at [[Castelia City]], where it is introduced to {{adv|Whitley}}. Using its Illusion Ability, Zorua takes on Whitley's appearance, allowing her to leave her classmates to go find a microchip containing data that could counteract a Pokémon-controlling device created by [[Colress]], the new leader of Team Plasma.

Like most Zorua, [[N]]'s Zorua is very mischievous, often turning into people and Pokémon to confuse or mock them with a wicked smile. Zorua has a close relationship with N and is the only one of N's Pokémon that tried to stay with him after being [[release]]d. Zorua is also a fast and powerful battler, being able to compete against [[Alder]]'s Pokémon. Zorua can also use its {{a|Illusion}} [[Ability]] to gain the upper hand in many situations. While it can take on any form it chooses with its Ability, Zorua usually takes the form of a young boy.

N's Zorua is obtainable through the main story by defeating [[Rood]] and receiving it from him in [[Driftveil City]]. Being one of N's Pokémon, Zorua will have a sprite entry animation that is similar to the [[Shiny Pokémon]] sprite, but instead has its own sound and green and yellow diamond lights. Zorua has a Hasty [[Nature]].
