Zoroark (Japanese: ゾロアーク Zoroark) is a main character in Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
History
Template:Spoiler Zoroark and her child Zorua 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 Raikou, Entei, and 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.
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 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. She continues making her way towards the stadium, defeating Goone and his Pokémon along the way. When Zoroark finally reaches Zorua near the Pokémon Baccer World Cup Stadium, Kodai threatens Zorua's safety and she is forced to stand down. When it seemed that Kodai finally absorbed the power of the ripple of time, it was revealed that it was all an illusion created by Zoroark to deceive him.
However, Kodai manages to retaliate, sending his Shuppet to attack Zorua with Shadow Ball only for Zoroark dive and took the attack to protect her son. Enraged, he then injures Zoroark, but she fights back, defeating Shuppet with her Dark Pulse attack and driving Kodai away with help of the three legendary beasts.
After Kodai was driven away, the injuries Zoroark sustained took their toll, and she collapses, no longer having the strength to do nothing else. Zoroark uses her Illusion ability on Kodai one last time, who was seeking shelter at the World Cup Stadium, knocking him out, and she closes her eyes with a satisfied smile. Zorua cries out for its mother and attempts to wake her, but with no success, and everyone fears the worst. After Celebi regained its strength with the use of the real ripple of time, Celebi uses the energy field in order to revive Zoroark. Zoroark opens her eyes, and she and Zorua embrace, finally being reunited.
Alongside the main protagonists, Zoroark then corners Kodai, who ends up defeated and arrested. Zorua and Zoroark were then boarded on a ship heading back to Unova with Karl and Rowena. Before they departed, Zoroark took on the form of Pikachu and she returned to her original form when Zorua had taken on the form of Ash. In the credits, Zoroark and Zorua were last seen nuzzling each other affectionately when the ship approaches a mist-covered island, presumbaly their homeland.
