ZORUA THE MOVIE! ZORUA IN "THE LEGEND OF THE POKEMON KNIGHT!!!"
"Derp"
Score: 8/10
The heroes are in some town (maybe Nimbasa City? I can’t tell) and learn that the next Pokemon Knights movie is being filmed here. What's Pokemon Knights? Some kind of shonen thing, I guess. Cilan waxes on and on and about how much of an expert he is on film, to a point where I begin to wonder if there is anything this man is not an expert on.
As they wander through the town, they meet the lead actress! Who turns out to be a Zorua impersonating her, and Ash scans it because I guess he’s never seen a Zorua before. By the way, Zorua reveals its identity immediately after the heroes see it, so I really have to wonder how these things earned the title “master of illusions.” Shortly thereafter, Zorua’s owner, a kid named Luke, shows up with his inexplicably shiny Golett. Luke tries to grab Zorua, but it just escapes.
Luke explains that he’s an aspiring director and Zorua is his lead actress - by the way, it’s a girl Zorua, this is important. He explains that he was shooting a scene and instructed Zorua to turn into a pirate and a knight, but it got angry, turned back into a princess, and ran off.
As they search for Zorua, Luke explains how he met it: he was working as a projectionist (after all, he's ten years old) when he noticed that actresses in the movies kept appearing in the theater. Eventually he confronted one of them, and found it was a Zorua, which instantly agreed to star in his movies because it’s not like Zorua wouldn’t be the most sought after pokemon ever by professional directors for moviemaking purposes.
They find Zorua at the theater, and because “figuring out the obvious” is Cilan’s gimmick, he realizes that Zorua only wants to play the role of the princess because it's a girl, and dislikes crossdressing, I guess. I don’t know. Since the movie needs more than one actor, the heroes agree to help, and Cilan tells everyone that "a friend in need is a friend indeed." That's... like the least appropriate phrase ever for this situation. The heroes help Luke make costumes and a plot, which you would assume would take hours, but apparently not and they get done building a massive fake ship that’s like three stories tall in an afternoon.
The plot? One day, a pirate (Cilan) kidnaps a princess (played by Zorua, but voiced by Iris) because only she knows how to find the kingdom's treasure. A knight (Ash) overcomes obstacles to find the Dragon Master (Iris) and rescues the princess. This… honestly does sound like every movie I’ve seen in my entire life, I will admit.
