After a few spectacular appeals, it was now Shiranui's turn.  "[color=00aeef]And now for contestant #7, the champion of the Kalos League, Shiranui Tsukiko![/color]  The crowd cheered as Shiranui made a ninja-style entrance.  "Time to show off some culture," he announced, "Kitsune, I choose you!"  Shiranui sent out his Ninetales (Zoro in Illusion) and the crowd was awestruck by its majestic appearance.  An illusion of Ecruteak City enveloped the hall.  "Start with Will-O-Wisp!"  Each of the nine tail tips lit up with short bursts of pale blue Flamethrower that looked like a Will-O-Wisp.  The mock Will-O-Wisp was launched and soon formed a spinning circle of flames.  "Follow it up with Fire Blast!"  Zoro breathed out some illusory flames that formed the shape of a Fire Blast before moving into the centre of the Will-O-Wisp ring.  "Finish it with Dark Pulse!"  A series of dark rings were formed that became approximately spherical before the attack was launched at the fiery assembly.  The combination exploded into lots of orange and purple ember-like sparkles before Zoro dropped his illusions.  Both the Zoroark and his trainer bowed and the judges gave their verdicts.
