Shiranui took his time to train for the contest by fishing.  He landed a Staryu and had Zoro battle it.  The Zorua dodged a Bubble Beam and landed a Dark Pulse.  "Poké Ball, go!"  Shiranui threw a Poké Ball and the Staryu was drawn in.  After three shakes, the ball pinged a successful capture.  "You'll do well, Hoshi," Shiranui said before noticing a bright glow.  He saw Zoro growing from a quadrupedal fox to a tailless bipedal fox with a big mane of fur.  Zoro was now a Zoroark.  "Way to go, Zoro!" Shiranui congratulated, knowing what Zoro was capable of now.
