Pokemon the Series: The gang are on their way to Nimbasa City and watch a preview for a new Wonder Fighter movie, where they encounter a Zorua masquerading as one of the actors. The Zorua belongs to Luke, a film-maker who also owns a Golett and dreams of being a movie director with Zorua as the star. Luke explains that Zorua has been acting up, becoming stubborn and refusing to play the characters that Luke asks for and ultimately running away from him. Team Rocket watch from the shadows as the gang leave to search for the Zorua, thinking to add it to Team Rocket’s organization. The gang find Zorua and Cilan works out that it’s a girl and only wants to play the princess in the movie. Luke accepts Zorua’s wishes, securing Ash and friends to play the other parts in the movie with the assistance of Luke’s Leavanny making costumes. Filming begins on the movie, which tells the story of a Pokémon Knight (Ash) trying to rescue a Princess (Zorua) from an evil pirate (Cilan), with training from a dragon master (Iris). While filming the last scene Team Rocket appear, capture Zorua in an electric beam and take Zorua hostage aboard a plane. Luke sends out Golett who attacks the plane with Shadow Ball, destroying the plane and bringing Team Rocket and Zorua back to earth. Cilan's Pansage removes the electric bars holding Zorua with Bullet Seed and Iris's Axew attacks Team Rocket, causing Zorua to fly away and land safely with the help of Ash's Tranquill. Team Rocket confronts Zorua, who ultimately uses Night Daze to send Team Rocket packing. The movie goes on to be a success and Ash learns from Luke’s father about a battle tournament in Nimbasa Town. Luke, Ash, Cilan and Iris all express desire to enter and they leave together for the Don Battle tournament, in which they will all compete as rivals.
