'''Zook''' is a character that appears in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. He is the only character in the games to be known as a '''Thug'''. He works for [[Cipher]]. He is seen at [[Gateon Port]] and the [[Cipher Key Lair]]. He had a {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Zangoose}} that he threatened [[Jovi]] with at Gateon Port after she accidentally bumped into him. However, [[Ardos]] stepped in and defeated it with his {{p|Alakazam}}. Later, [[Michael]] defeated him at the Cipher Key Lair. After recovering his [[Snag Machine]], Michael challenged him again and [[snagging|snagged]] his Zangoose. Zook then ran off to "someplace far away" where "Cipher has no influence" and was not seen again.

'''Zook''' (Japanese: '''ザクスカ''' ''Zacusca'') is a minor character that appears in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Thug''' (Japanese: '''あらくれもの''' ''Ruffian'').
 
==In the games==
Zook first appears at [[Gateon Port]] near the beginning of the game. After [[Jovi]], the [[Michael|player]]'s sister, accidentally runs into him, he begins to threaten her with his {{Shadow|Zangoose}}. However, [[Mr. Verich]], [[Eldes]], and [[Ardos]] appear at the scene, and Ardos proceeds to easily defeat Zook's Zangoose with his powerful {{p|Alakazam}}.
 
Later the player encounters Zook at the [[Cipher Key Lair]], where he's standing outside of the facility for guard under [[Gorigan]]'s orders, as punishment for "showing off Shadow Pokémon without permission". He's first fending off a couple of [[Team Snagem]] members, before he notices the player, and challenges him to a battle. Because the player's [[Snag Machine]] was stolen by Team Snagem at the [[S.S. Libra]] wreck, he will be unable to snag Zook's Shadow Zangoose. After the player has recovered the Snag Machine from [[Snagem Hideout|Team Snagem's hideout]], he can battle Zook again. After Zook is defeated once more, he will leave "somewhere far away where Cipher won't have any influence", never to be seen again.

;[[Gateon Port]]
:''"Hey, now! Where do you think [[Jovi|you're]] going?"''
:''"And look what you've done!"''
:''"You've messed up with the happening look of <sc>Zook</sc>, the coolest, baddest, and most happening guy around!"''
:''"Gnnnnn! Sorry doesn't begin to cut it!"''
:''"Huh? [[Michael|You]] there, yeah, you, punk. You're with this munchkin, aren't you?"''
:''"And it looks to me like you're a <sc>Trainer</sc>."''
:''"You look like you'll be a million times more fun than some munchkin! I'll stomp you flat with my <sc>[[Shadow Pokémon]]</sc>!"''
:''"Shut it! Hey, [[Mr. Verich|meddling senior citizen]], take your preaching to someone who cares! Or do you want me to pound you, too?"''
 
* Before battling [[Ardos]]
:''"Huh? And who do you think you are? So now you're going to play the man and stop me? This gets better by the minute! Let's see you try!"''
 
* Being defeated by Ardos
:''"Y-your power... Where does it come from?!"''
 
* After being defeated by Ardos
:''"You've done it now! Don't think you're getting away with messing with the great <sc>Zook</sc>! Remember this!"''
 
;[[Cipher Key Lair]] (first visit)
* Talking with [[Biden]]
:''"<sc>[[Team Snagem]]</sc>? Can't rightly say I know them."''
:''"Lunk?!"''
:''"You're calling the dashing and terrific <sc>Mr. Zook</sc> a lunk? How dare you! Grrrrr! You're not getting away with this!"''
 
* After defeating Biden
:''"Hey, you want more of where that came from?"''
 
* Before battle
:''"You're not running off with them? You've got guts, but... Huh?!"''
:''"Wait a second! You're that brat who was at <sc>Gateon Port</sc>! What are you doing here?!"''
:''"You're nothing but bad news! Ever since I saw you, I've had nothing but the worst luck! First, at <sc>Gateon Port</sc>, some guy challenged me to a battle out of the blue and promptly stomped me flat. Then <sc>[[Gorigan]]</sc> gave me one major dressing-down for showing off <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> without permission. Because of that, he made me stand guard here as punishment."''
:''"There's one thing I can't figure out, though. How'd <sc>Gorigan</sc> ever find out about me anyway?"''
:''"Gaaah! Remembering that is getting me riled! This time, I'll flatten you!"''
 
* Being defeated
:''"But... This can't be happening!"''
 
* After being defeated
:''"You're just some kid! How could I, the mighty <sc>Zook</sc>, get beat by just some kid?! Because you fluked out! You only won because you got lucky! That's got to be the answer! I won't battle you again. If you win by a fluke again, my reputation will take a beating!"''
 
* If talked to
:''"Get lost, punk! If I, the mighty <sc>Zook</sc>, get serious, you'll be crushed in no time!"''
 
;Cipher Key Lair (second visit)
* Before battle
:''"Quit scurrying around! You're getting on my nerves! Don't think you're hot stuff just because you beat me once by a fluke! And what's with showing off [[Snag Machine|that weird machine]] on your arm? You're begging for a thumping, and I'll deliver it this time! I'll bash, dash, and crash you, just like you want!"''
 
* Being defeated
:''"Wroooar! What'll I do? What'll I do? <sc>Gorigan</sc>'s going to chew me out again!"''
 
* After being defeated
:''"Urrrrgh... The punk thumped me... And <sc>Gorigan</sc> will be furious with me again... ...I should go away. Somewhere far away where <sc>Cipher</sc> won't have any influence. So long, punk. I've had enough of battling you to last a lifetime."''


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The gender of Zook's shadow Zangoose is not set in stone until it is sent out against the player at the [[Cipher Key Lair]]. Due to appearing twice before such a point, this particular Zangoose can potentially change its gender up to two times over the course of events. Such an example consists of Zangoose being female when facing [[Ardos]] at [[Gateon Port]], male when facing [[Wakin]] at Cipher Key Lair, and female again when facing the player at Cipher Key Lair.

* Despite Zangoose and {{p|Seviper}} being mortal enemies, Zook has both of them in his [[Party|team]], and it is possible for both of them to be out on the field at the same time.
