Luke's Zorua (Japanese: ルークのゾロア Luke's Zorua) is a Pokémon owned by Luke. She helps him with his movies by turning into the characters he needs.
History
Zorua previously spent her time in Matthew's theater watching the various movies he would show. She would often disguise herself as the leading female cast member and sit in the audience, which caught Luke's attention. After one of the movies, she stuck around after the show and met Luke who had gone down to investigate. She showed off her Illusion Ability to him and he offered to use that ability in his film, making Zorua the star. She happily accepted, however she soon grew tired of playing the entire cast and chose only to play Princess Julia in his film. Though when Luke didn't understand why she was upset, Zorua ran away and ended up meeting Ash and company in Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"! while disguised as a Miracle Fighter they had just seen in a movie trailer. She revealed herself to be a Zorua, and Ash took an interest in catching her. However Luke had finally caught up and announced that Zorua was his Pokémon. She then turned herself into Pikachu and scrambled around with him to confuse Luke. After Luke had grabbed Ash's Pikachu instead, Zorua disguised herself as Axew and hid inside Iris's hair. When Luke tried returning her to her Poké Ball, she attacked him with Shadow Ball and fled.
Zorua was later found inside Matthew's movie theater when Luke came to talk to her. Cilan contemplated Zorua's sudden misbehavior and realized that because Zorua is a girl, she favors Princess Julia over the other roles, which Zorua confirmed. With her Trainer at an understanding, Zorua was made only to play Princess Julia while the other roles were played by Ash, Iris, and Cilan. While they were filming, Zorua was captured by Team Rocket; but she, and the movie, managed to be rescued by some improvisation from Cilan, Ash, and Iris. She herself also helped by pretending to be a female Meowth to trick Meowth of Team Rocket. She later watched the film along side her Trainer disguised as Princess Julia.
In Reunion Battles at Nimbasa! she accompanied her Trainer to Nimbasa Town where she disguised herself as Bianca. However, Bianca took an interest in Zorua and attempted to capture her, which inevitably failed since Zorua already belonged to Luke. She was then nearly smothered by Bianca but managed to get away. Later, while everyone was signing up for the Don Battle tournament, she took an interest in Georgia and turned into her. Iris then playfully used Zorua's illusion as a puppet and mocked Georgia. Zorua later used this disguise, among others, to play tricks on others as well as to avoid Bianca throughout the tournament. By BW042, Zorua eventually became tired of running away from Bianca and stopped resisting her attempts to capture her.
Personality and characteristics
Like most Zorua, Luke's Zorua is very mischievous, often turning into people and Pokémon to confuse or mock them. She has a strong passion for films, sneaking her way into Matthew's theater to watch every show, and then later starring in Luke's film. She can be very stubborn, wanting only to play the Princess role. Much like Pikachu, Zorua spends her time outside her Poké Ball.
