He was once [[Newton Graceland]]'s student in studying the Reverse World, but he became obsessed with Giratina's power and decided to capture it. Using a machine designed by Newton himself, Zero was able to capture and unleash Giratina's power. He used the machine to cause destruction in the real world by damaging the Reverse World.

Despite doing significant damage, he was finally defeated by the combined power of {{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}}, Giratina, and {{Ash}} when he was forced back into the real world, and he crashed his flying machine into a {{wp|glacier}}. Upon impact, {{an|Dawn}}, her Pokémon, and many surrounding {{p|Mamoswine}}, froze Zero into the glacier itself, still inside of his machine. [[Officer Jenny]] arrests him in the end of the film, during the credits.

== Character ==
==Character==
Zero is shown to be brilliant, but troubled. He is emotionally unstable, obsessive and narcissistic, simultaneously seeing himself as having a righteous cause in protecting the Reverse World but also viewing himself as its king. For most of the movie, he is calm and conducts his plan with great confidence, but as he encounters mounting opposition, he gradually loses his composure until he is reduced to a screaming, maniacal wreck. After realizing his defeat, however, he eventually accepts his fate with dignity and willingly goes to prison, where he is later seen to have recovered significantly.

In the dub of the movie, he is suggested to have a photographic memory. This line is not present in the Japanese version; instead, it is merely suggested that he obsessively rebuilt the Megarig using as much of Newton Graceland's original design as he could.

|desc={{p|Magnezone}} is Zero's main Pokémon and the only one he keeps close to him. Its job ranges from battling, like any usual trained Pokémon, to more advanced jobs, like leading Zero's {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} army. Zero is also seen using it as a form of temporary transportation in that he will stand on Magnezone, and it will float him to locations he needs to reach. It was shown to be fast, powerful, durable, and as ruthless as Zero himself in pursuing {{p|Shaymin}}. After Zero was arrested, Magnezone and the Magnemite army took up residence on the Megarig's wreck in Gracidea.

* The outfit he wears strongly resembles the design of {{p|Giratina}}, as does the mecha he used at the end of the film; this due to his obsession with Giratina.
