Zoroark and her child {{OBP|Zorua|movie 13}} were abducted in [[Unova]] by the film's antagonist, businessman [[Grings Kodai]]. After seeing Zoroark's skill in illusions, Kodai threatened Zorua's safety in order to blackmail Zoroark into attacking [[Crown City]] under the guises of {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. Though Zorua was able to escape from Kodai's ship, Zoroark was unaware of the fact and continued to attack the city in exchange for Zorua's safety. She begins destroying the surrounding city in illusions of its destruction, transforming into the legendary beasts one by one: causings floods as Suicine, walls of fire as Entei, and destroying priceless statues as Raikou. While this happened, Kodai edited the videos that recorded Zoroark attacking the area, making it seem that Zoroark was actually destroying Crown City instead of making illusions of its destruction. Once the task was done, Zoroark was imprisoned once again and taken back to Kodai's airship, having been lured into a trap by a projection image of Zorua made by [[Goone]]. She is seen trying and failing to break free of the cage inside the ship. | Zoroark and her adopted child {{OBP|Zorua|movie 13}} were abducted in [[Unova]] by the film's antagonist, businessman [[Grings Kodai]].

Hearing Zorua's cry for help, Zoroark found the strength to break free of her prison and began making her way to where Zorua is. However, the [[Legendary beasts (movie 13)|three legendary beasts that serve as guardians of Crown City]], saw Zoroark as a threat, believing her to be the cause of the city's destruction, and attacked her. Zoroark's battle with the three beasts made its way through the town, with Zoroark trying to drive them off long enough for her to get to Zorua. When the legendary beasts corners Zoroark once again, Zoroark used an illusion to trap the legendary beasts in thorn-covered vines in retaliation, but [[Rowena]] breaks the illusion and frees them. The wild Pokémon who took shelter came to the legendary beasts, trying to explain to them that Zoroark isn't the enemy. Zoroark is confused, but stops attacking as well. | Hearing Zorua's cry for help, Zoroark found the strength to break free of her prison and began making her way to where Zorua is.

Zoroark is also shown to have a sense of vengeance, as towards the end of the film, she went out her way to defeat Goone, Kodai's right-hand man, on her way to confronting Kodai and ultimately using her illusion powers to defeat Kodai herself. She is extremely strong, able to fight Raikou, Entei, and Suicune all at once to a draw. Her strength is greatly admired by her child Zorua, who looks up to her and wishes to be just as strong as she is one day. | Zoroark is also shown to have a sense of vengeance, as towards the end of the film, she went out her way to defeat Goone, Kodai's right-hand man, on her way to confronting Kodai and ultimately using her illusion powers to defeat Kodai herself.

While Zoroark does love Zorua, she has shown defiance and an unwillingness to cooperate for many humans, being distrustful of them. In the original version of the film, she specifically told Zorua to never talk to humans (which was changed to 'strangers' in the English dub). However, she does befriend Ash and company after they help her rescue her child and defeat Kodai. | While Zoroark does love Zorua, she has shown defiance and an unwillingness to cooperate for many humans, being distrustful of them.
