Zorua

"How did a Zorua from Hisui end up here?"

"Could all those wild Pokémon that freeloaded off my Poffins a few days ago have been this one in disguise?"

As Bai Shi looked at the Hisuian Zorua, now revealed in its true form, his mind filled with confusion and questions.

Unlike other Pokémon with regional forms, Zorua from Hisui had only existed one or two thousand years ago.

He simply could not understand how a Hisuian Zorua had appeared here.

"Stantler, let it go for now!"

After some thought, Bai Shi gestured to Stantler beside him.

Hisuian Zorua is a Normal- and Ghost-type Pokémon with the Ability Illusion, and it can evolve into Zoroark.

No matter how I look at it, it's right up my alley!

Bai Shi made up his mind to catch the Hisuian Zorua before him.

"Zorua,
