Pokémon BW: Yin-Yang Quest

"Begin!" the judge declared.

"Emolga, Aerial Ace!" Mia ordered.

Emolga began to glide over at a fast speed to Leavanny.

"Protect!" Burgh commanded.

The barrier was cast around Leavanny. Emolga collided into the barrier instead, landing on the floor. "Use String Shot!"

"Emolga, Thunderbolt!" Mia countered.

Emolga's body became surrounded in sparks. He fired a bolt of electricity at the oncoming String Shot, which ripped it to pieces. "One more Aerial Ace!" Mia commanded.

"Use String Shot on Emolga!" Burgh countered.

Leavanny fired the silk from her mouth, which bound Emolga's body. Emolga struggled to get out of the silk that was wrapped around it. "Razor Leaf!" Burgh ordered.

Sharp leaves came from Leavanny's hood and were sent to Emolga. Emolga tried to bite his way through the silk to get free. "Take that Razor Leaf head on!" Mia ordered.

Emolga braced himself for impact. The attack hit and cut the layer of String Shot to a weakened state. As soon as the leaves cleared, Emolga ripped himself free of the silk.

"Now that you're free, use Aerial Ace!" Mia commanded. Emolga glided for Leavanny and hit it twice, causing a major amount of damage.

"Hyper Beam!" Burgh ordered.

"Electro Ball!" Mia commanded.

A red-white ball of energy was formed in between Leavanny's antennae as Emolga readied the ball of electricity. Both Pokémon fired their attacks, resulting in an explosion that rattled the greenhouse when the attacks hit their targets.

Slowly, they uncovered their eyes as the dust began to clear. The judge's vision finally cleared up and he saw that both Pokémon knocked each other out.

"Emolga and Leavanny are both unable to battle. All of Burgh's Pokémon are unable to battle. Mia still has one Pokémon left. The winner of the Castelia Gym Battle is Mia from Nuvema Town!"

Mia was so astonished that tears formed up in her eyes. "Emolga!" Mia cheered as she ran over to the battlefield.

"E-ga…?" Emolga asked weakly as she hugged him.

"We did it! We really did it! Thank you!" she cheered.

"Leavanny, you were incredible," Burgh thanked as he took out a Poké Ball. "Take a nice, long rest."

Leavanny was recalled as the three Pokémon in the sidelines cheered for her.


Burgh wiped a tear from his eye as he took out a case. "I had an incredible battle with you, Mia," Burgh complimented. "You've grown both as a trainer and as a person, and for that, I'm glad I battled you with no regrets. The Insect Badge is yours."

Mia accepted the badge with a smile on her face. "Thank you, Burgh. For everything," she thanked. "I got the Insect Badge…"

She put the badge in her case.

"Exactly as planned!"

Swadloon, Axew, Emolga, and Oshawott cheered.

"I'm so proud of you, Mia!" Jaden cried. Taylor just smiled at her, happy for his friend.


"Hey, how about we head to the mall?" Jaden asked as they walked through the plaza.

"Don't mind," Taylor said.

"Fine by me," Mia agreed.

"After all, I have to get Mia something special for her win!" Jaden finished as he ran ahead.

"There he goes," Mia said as he watched her father. "I love my Dad, but he's so weird sometimes."

"W-w-w-WHAA?" Jaden yelled out.

Mia and Taylor rushed over to Jaden to find that he was with another Mia! "Is that you, Mia?" he asked in shock. "What are you doing here?"

The second Mia didn't say anything.

"Listen, faker!" Mia demanded, walking over to her double. "If this is a joke, it's not funny!"

The other Mia gave off a playful smile. "I said it's not funny! Now show me who you really are!"

"Uh, Mia," Jaden began.

"Yeah, Dad?" Mia said as the two Mias looked at him.

"Your double has a tail," Jaden pointed out.

Mia looked behind her other to find a bushy black tail in back. Recognizing the tail, Mia took out her Pokédex and scanned the other Mia's tail.

"Zorua, the Tricky Fox Pokémon," the Dex explained. "To protect themselves from danger, they hide their true identities by transforming into people and Pokémon."

A puff of purple smoke came from out of nowhere, and when the dust cleared, the other Mia had vanished and a Zorua had taken her place. Zorua jumped onto Mia and took her cap off her head. It then jumped over to Taylor and took his cap off before jumping away and running off through the plaza. "Hey, my hat!" Taylor exclaimed.

"Hold it, you hat thief!" Mia yelled as she ran after it. Taylor and Jaden followed after them.


Mia jumped into an alley and caught Zorua before it could change form again. "Why would you play a prank on us like that?" Mia asked angrily.

"Mia, calm down!" Jaden instructed.

"Daaad!" Mia whined. "Zorua's doing-!"

"I don't think he's doing this just because he wants to," Taylor reasoned. He went up to Zorua and petted it. "Aren't you?"

Zorua looked down. "Zo-rou…" he apologized and loosened his mouth.

Taylor took his hat, dusted it off, and put it back on his head. He took Mia's hat and put it back on her head. "Ah, a bruise!" Jaden freaked when he saw a red scratch on Zorua's leg. "Mia, hand Zorua to me."

"Okay," Mia complied and showed her father Zorua. Jaden took him and got out a Poké Ball. "Maractus, I need Acupressure," Jaden said.

Maractus came out and gently stuck one of its needles into Zorua's leg. Zorua winced as it glowed green. When the green light faded, Maractus took its needle out.

"Just a small pinch," Jaden assured him as he took out a Super Potion. "No harm done."

He sprayed the potion's contents onto Zorua's leg and bandaged it up. "Better?"

"Zo-ro!" Zorua cheered.


"That Zorua isn't usually found here, is it?" Taylor asked as he, Mia, and Jaden sat at a table in a café. Maractus, Emolga, Momo, and Oshawott were playing with Zorua.

"The only known place Zorua and Zoroark live in is the Lostlorn Forest," Mia explained. As soon as Zorua heard "Zoroark", he looked at the humans. "It must've wandered off."

"I'm willing to bet his family is worried sick," Jaden said as he took out a Town Map. "I can't seem to find Lostlorn Forest, though."

"It's only a place in history, though," Mia explained. "You can't find it on an official map."

"Zo-ro! Zo-ro!" Zorua cried upon hearing those words.

"Mo-mo-ga?" Emolga and Momo asked as they went up to him.

"Oshawott…" Oshawott whispered to him as she hugged him.

"Zorua, what's wrong?" Jaden asked as the three approached them.

"Zo-ro, zo-ro…" Zorua began.

"That forest is your home?" Taylor translated. "And you were playing with your 'Meema' when some humans in blue clothes scared you away?" he finished in shock.

"ZO-roaaa!" he continued.

"And they took your Mom away?" Taylor asked in anger. "That's the last straw! We're going to find Zorua's Mom!"
