I have a bad feeling that Kuroi is a main antagonist in the game! :(  Turiavita is much better than 961pro!

Sunflorazumarill:
If you thought there was only going to be one trio of idols, it turns out there's another as well! 961 Productions happens to have a bit of a presence in Infinite/Zero and as a result, Project Jupiter serves a bit of a role in the game. However, just what is going on with what Kuroi is telling them? And yes, we get the first Multi Triple Battle at one point as well (where you can only choose two of your Pokémon while your partners each choose two of theirs).

(------------------------------)
PROJECT JUPITER

Touma Amagase (Origin: The iDolm@ster)
Info: Touma is the leader of 961 Productions' male idol group known as Project Jupiter along with Hokuto Ijuuin and Shouta Mitarai. At age 17, he's grumpy, serious, and over competitive. Touma doesn't like it when people get in his way or when he has to battle weak opponents. As a solo idol, he happens to be really strong. Although he speaks to his rivals in a rude matter, when in front of the staff, Touma is quite polite. Like with Hokuto and Shouta, Touma doesn't know the main reasons why Takao Kuroi hates 765 Productions, Vocaloid Corp., and the player character so much. (When he asked Kuroi, Kuroi lied to him.)

Touma is first seen in the game along with Hokuto and Shouta coming out of the 961 building in Audilia City. They tell you that Kuroi doesn't like those who meddle in his business, such as 765 Pro and Vocaloid Corp. (which Kuroi lied to them about). They tell you to leave, preventing you from entering the building.

Touma is seen later with his fellow Project Jupiter members inside the 961 building, where Kuroi talks with them in his office after talking to someone mysterious. He tells them that if they prove themselves, he'll let them in on what he's doing. Kuroi also tells them that only three other idols ever met his expectations and that there's a chance that the three of them just might replace the previous ones.

When you first come to Vocadia City, Touma along with Hokuto, Shouta, and Kuroi, are trying to get Miku Hatsune to join 961. Touma actually believes Kuroi's lie that Vocaloid Corp. supports Zodiac. After Kuroi tells Miku to think about his offer, Touma and the rest of Project Jupiter leave with him.

After defeating Zodiac in Vocadia City, while on Route 416, Touma appears, saying that Kuroi told him that you're trying to tarnish 961's image by spreading rumors about the agency (once again lies Kuroi told him). Believing what Kuroi told him, Touma decides to battle you. After being defeated, Touma says to stay out of 961's affairs before leaving.

After you've exited Flamaze Tunnel, Touma, Hokuto, and Shouta are seen inside Kuroi's office while Kuroi starts talking to them about Infiran and Zerion. Touma asks Kuroi just why he's talking about Legendary Pokémon, with Kuroi responding with he likes to share his interests with his three star idols. Kuroi then changes the subject to you slandering the name of 961 and that they should teach you a lesson, which they buy into.

Later, when you're nearing Stratogen Town, Touma arrives with the rest of Project Jupiter in order to make good on what they told Kuroi that would do. At this point, Lili/Kim and Saito arrive on the scene in order to back you up, with Saito saying that three against one isn't fair. The two of them decide to act as Multi Battle partners for you against Project Jupiter in a Triple Battle. After Touma, Hokuto, and Shouta are defeated, they tell you not to mess with Project Jupiter before leaving.

It's not until Zodiac uses Infiran's (Infinite) or Zerion's (Zero) power to envelop the world in an expanding light space (Infinite) or dark void (Zero) that Project Jupiter is seen again. As it turns out, Miku and Looker both went to them to tell them that Kuroi has been Zodiac's leader the entire time. After Looker confirmed it to them, Touma, Hokuto, and Shouta are appalled that Kuroi was using them and have decided to help you stop him, riding on the Skibison you're on.

Inside the Zodiac Jet, when the Zodiac Trinity try to block your progress, Project Jupiter decide to hold them back, Touma telling you to go stop Kuroi. After you've defeated Graves for the final time, Kuroi reveals to Project Jupiter that when the time came, he was going to tell them who he really was and condition them into replacing the Zodiac Trinity, but since his world of darkness is coming to be, neither group is needed anymore and he has Infiran/Zerion blast them with light (Infinite) or dark (Zero) energy before doing the same to Lili/Kim, Louise, Saito, Henrietta, Miku, Looker, and Graves. After Kuroi and Variruin are defeated, Touma, Hokuto, and Shouta manage to make it off the Zodiac Jet along with you and the others.

After the credits, Touma, Hokuto, and Shouta can be found inside the 961 building, wondering who will be the agency's president with Kuroi gone. When you enter the Battle Royale Center and manage to win three consecutive Battle Royales for the first time, Project Jupiter will be your fourth set of opponents, telling you that they want to see how you are at Battle Royales and that none of them will go easy on you. After defeating them for the first time, they'll give you TM44B and may replace a trio of Multi Battle partners/Gym Leaders/Elite Four members fought at the end of sets of four consecutive Battle Royales on subsequent visits.


Hokuto Ijuuin (Origin: The iDolm@ster)
Info: Hokuto is the oldest member of 961 Production's Project Jupiter whose other two members are Shouta Mitarai and Touma Amagase. Age 20, he is charming, confident, and elegant. Hokuto has a princely type attribute and because he speaks in a polite manner, he's gotten quite famous in his hometown. Even their domestic Pokémon love him. When he was younger, Hokuto could play the piano very well, but do to an injury in high school, he became unable to play the instrument. After losing interest in piano, Hokuto became a model for magazine covers. This is how he got into his stylish attire, but it's unknown how he got his flirty personality.

Hokuto is first seen in the game along with Shouta and Touma coming out of the 961 building in Audilia City. They tell you that Kuroi doesn't like those who meddle in his business, such as 765 Pro and Vocaloid Corp. (which Kuroi lied to them about). They tell you to leave, preventing you from entering the building.

Hokuto is seen later with his fellow Project Jupiter members inside the 961 building, where Kuroi talks with them in his office after talking to someone mysterious. He tells them that if they prove themselves, he'll let them in on what he's doing. Kuroi also tells them that only three other idols ever met his expectations and that there's a chance that the three of them just might replace the previous ones.

When you first come to Vocadia City, Hokuto along with Shouta, Touma, and Kuroi, are trying to get Miku Hatsune to join 961. After Kuroi says 765 and Vocaloid support Zodiac, Hokuto seems to disagree. After Kuroi tells Miku to think about his offer, Hokuto and the rest of Project Jupiter leave with him.

After defeating Touma, Hokuto appears further down Route 416, asking you why you're trying to ruin 961 Pro's reputation (another lie from Kuroi). After you make hand motions telling him that you don't know what he's talking about, Hokuto says to not play dumb with him and decides to battle you. After being defeated, Hokuto says he hopes he didn't lose his cool there before leaving the area.

After you've exited Flamaze Tunnel, Hokuto, Shouta, and Touma are seen inside Kuroi's office while Kuroi starts talking to them about Infiran and Zerion. After Kuroi tells them he likes to share his interests with his three star idols, he changes the subject to you slandering the name of 961 and that they should teach you a lesson, which they buy into.

Later, when you're nearing Stratogen Town, Hokuto arrives with the rest of Project Jupiter in order to make good on what they told Kuroi that would do. At this point, Lili/Kim and Saito arrive on the scene in order to back you up, with Saito saying that three against one isn't fair. Hokuto asks why the two of them are defending you with Lili/Kim responding with that the three of them are being lied to. Lili/Kim and Saito decide to act as Multi Battle partners for you against Project Jupiter in a Triple Battle. After Hokuto, Shouta, and Touma are defeated, they tell you not to mess with Project Jupiter again before leaving.

It's not until Zodiac uses Infiran's (Infinite) or Zerion's (Zero) power to envelop the world in an expanding light space (Infinite) or dark void (Zero) that Project Jupiter is seen again. As it turns out, Miku and Looker both went to them to tell them that Kuroi has been Zodiac's leader the entire time. After Looker confirmed it to them, Touma, Hokuto, and Shouta are appalled that Kuroi was using them and have decided to help you stop him, riding on the Skibison you're on.

Inside the Zodiac Jet, when the Zodiac Trinity try to block your progress, Project Jupiter decide to hold them back. After you've defeated Graves for the final time, upon seeing Kuroi, Hokuto demands what he saw in them, with Kuroi revealing that when the time came, he would have told them who he really was and condition them into replacing the Zodiac Trinity, but since his world of darkness is coming to be, neither group is needed anymore and he has Infiran/Zerion blast them with light (Infinite) or dark (Zero) energy before doing the same to Lili/Kim, Louise, Saito, Henrietta, Miku, Looker, and Graves. After Kuroi and Variruin are defeated, Hokuto, Shouta, and Touma manage to make it off the Zodiac Jet along with you and the others.

After the credits, Hokuto, Shouta, and Touma can be found inside the 961 building, wondering who will be the agency's president with Kuroi gone. When you enter the Battle Royale Center and manage to win three consecutive Battle Royales for the first time, Project Jupiter will be your fourth set of opponents, telling you that they want to see how you are at Battle Royales and that none of them will go easy on you. After defeating them for the first time, they'll give you TM44B and may replace a trio of Multi Battle partners/Gym Leaders/Elite Four members fought at the end of sets of four consecutive Battle Royales on subsequent visits.


Shouta Mitarai (Origin: The iDolm@ster)
Info: Shouta is the youngest member of 961's Project Jupiter and works alongside Touma Amagase and Hokuto Ijuuin. At age 14, he is energetic, cute, and pretty much gives people the ideal thought of a little brother that they've always wanted. However, underneath that innocent face, Shouta is a naughty prankster. As a member of Project Jupiter, he likes to give an amazing performance with backflips to wow the audience. Much like Iori Minase of 765 in Nostrum, Shouta is referred to as a "little-devil idol". The two of them also happen to share many similarities in their looks.

Shouta is first seen in the game along with Touma and Hokuto coming out of the 961 building in Audilia City. They tell you that Kuroi doesn't like those who meddle in his business, such as 765 Pro and Vocaloid Corp. (which Kuroi lied to them about). They tell you to leave, preventing you from entering the building.

Shouta is seen later with his fellow Project Jupiter members inside the 961 building, where Kuroi talks with them in his office after talking to someone mysterious. He asks Kuroi what he was doing earlier, only for Kuroi to tell him that they don't need to know at the moment. Kuroi also tells them that only three other idols ever met his expectations and that there's a chance that the three of them just might replace the previous ones.

When you first come to Vocadia City, Shouta along with Touma, Hokuto, and Kuroi, are trying to get Miku Hatsune to join 961. When Kuroi says 765 Pro and Vocaloid support Zodiac, Shouta buys into it easily. After Kuroi tells Miku to think about his offer, Shouta and the rest of Project Jupiter leave with him.

After defeating Hokuto, Shouta appears as you're nearing Diendye Town, saying that Kuroi told them all about you and what you're doing to him (yet another lie). After finding out that you defeated Touma and Hokuto, he decides to battle you. After being defeated, Shouta leaves the area in disgust.

After you've exited Flamaze Tunnel, Shouta, Touma, and Hokuto are seen inside Kuroi's office while Kuroi starts talking to them about Infiran and Zerion. After Kuroi tells them he likes to share his interests with his three star idols, he changes the subject to you slandering the name of 961 and that they should teach you a lesson, which they buy into.

Later, when you're nearing Stratogen Town, Shouta arrives with the rest of Project Jupiter in order to make good on what they told Kuroi that would do. At this point, Lili/Kim and Saito arrive on the scene in order to back you up, with Saito saying that three against one isn't fair. The two of them decide to act as Multi Battle partners for you against Project Jupiter in a Triple Battle. After Shouta, Touma, and Hokuto are defeated, they tell you not to mess with Project Jupiter again before leaving.

It's not until Zodiac uses Infiran's (Infinite) or Zerion's (Zero) power to envelop the world in an expanding light space (Infinite) or dark void (Zero) that Project Jupiter is seen again. As it turns out, Miku and Looker both went to them to tell them that Kuroi has been Zodiac's leader the entire time. After Looker confirmed it to them, Touma, Hokuto, and Shouta are appalled that Kuroi was using them and have decided to help you stop him, riding on the Skibison you're on.

Inside the Zodiac Jet, when the Zodiac Trinity try to block your progress, Project Jupiter decide to hold them back. After you've defeated Graves for the final time, Kuroi reveals to Project Jupiter that when the time came, he would have told them who he really was and condition them into replacing the Zodiac Trinity, but since his world of darkness is coming to be, neither group is needed anymore and he has Infiran/Zerion blast them with light (Infinite) or dark (Zero) energy before doing the same to Lili/Kim, Louise, Saito, Henrietta, Miku, Looker, and Graves. After Kuroi and Variruin are defeated, Shouta, Touma, and Hokuto manage to make it off the Zodiac Jet along with you and the others. After landing on Mt. Germania, Shouta apologizes to you and says that he and the rest of Project Jupiter are your friends from now on.

After the credits, Shouta, Touma, and Hokuto can be found inside the 961 building, wondering who will be the agency's president with Kuroi gone. When you enter the Battle Royale Center and manage to win three consecutive Battle Royales for the first time, Project Jupiter will be your fourth set of opponents, telling you that they want to see how you are at Battle Royales and that none of them will go easy on you.

Also, Pokémon Infinite/Zero brings back a mechanic from DS-Transmitted data in the 3rd Gen called Battle Royale. If you want to know what it's about, consult this topic here and scroll down to where it says "Battle Royale". 

Note that in the same facility, you'll even be able to battle Gym Leaders, (after rematching them) Elite Four members (same), and the three Tag Battle partners (have to be unlocked), who each use their three highest leveled Pokémon. I might bring up more on the Battle Royale Center in the future.

--- End quote ---

Well, I haven't really gotten to the villainous team yet. There's always a chance I could bring back Turiavita in future ideas, but let's not get into that right now.

Anyway, there are also some other characters that are found in Pokémon Infinite and Zero. Two of them happen to be characters that appeared in Pokémon Flora, Azure, and Solar. There are also two characters not listed here, Lynn Lambretta (from Mouretsu Pirates) and Daryl (from various Harvest Moon games and seen in Flora/Azure/Solar).

(------------------------------)
OTHER CHARACTERS

Takao Kuroi (Origin: The iDolm@ster)
Info: Takao Kuroi is the president of 961 Production in Audilia City, the biggest idol agency in Halkeginia. Whenever he's encountered, he always resides in shady areas, making him only seen as a silhouette. Having a large ego, he's dishonest and a hateful man, especially when it comes to 765 Production in iM@S City in the Nostrum region. Kuroi will do anything in his power in order to bring down the other production agency, as well as achieve anything else he wants. He persuades people with money to get on his side, and he even lies to the other party and spread rumors. Kuroi is also a very successful and wealthy man, and his production agency is more well-known than 765. However, Kuroi also hides a massive secret.

Kuroi is found early in the game when you first enter Nekaratai Town, talking to Miku Hatsune, asking her to join 961. He tells her that Vocaloid Corp. is only using her to further their business and tries to turn her against that agency. However, Miku turns down Kuroi's offer, stating that Vocaloid Corp. is like her family and that she would never turn her back on them. Kuroi tells her that he won't take no for an answer and grabs her arm. Upon you approaching them (the text states that you tell Kuroi to leave Miku alone), Kuroi lets go of Miku's arm and then tells you to stay out of his affairs, citing you as an annoyance. He says that one way or another, Miku will join 961 as he leaves the café.

When you first arrive in Audilia City, if you try to approach the 961 Production building, three guys; Touma Amagase, Hokuto Ijuuin, and Shouta Mitarai, will come out of the door and tell you that Kuroi doesn't allow visitors, especially those who meddle in his business, like 765 and Vocaloid (obviously a lie Kuroi told them). The three male idols tell you to leave and you'll be pushed back two spaces.

Not long after what happens at the 961 building, if you head into the Audilia Café, you'll find Kuroi talking to Miki Hoshii, Hibiki Ganaha, and Takane Shijou, telling them that he has no need for them anymore thanks to Project Jupiter (those three male idols you saw earlier) and that they can keep their 765. He then tells them that 961 is infinite and endless, while 765 is zero and nothing, which stumps the three. Upon seeing you, Kuroi says to you that he didn't think he'd see you again, and he hopes that he doesn't again before leaving, making you step out of his way. After Kuroi is gone, Miki, Hibiki, and Takane explain that they're from the Nostrum region and currently are part of 765, but that not long ago, Kuroi, who they explain is the president of 961, recruited Hibiki and Takane and stole Miki away from 765. He told them various lies about 765 and tried to turn them against the agency, although they saw through him and quit, going to 765. Touma, Hokuto, and Shouta were then recruited to replace them, and they're likely being deceived as well. Hibiki says that Kuroi is also trying to recruit Miku Hatsune, Halkeginia's most beloved idol, and won't stop until she accepts. Takane adds on that there's something else about Kuroi, something mysterious that he hid from them, but isn't sure exactly what, only that it makes her nervous.

Upon arriving in Lutéce City, a cutscene occurs at 961 Production, where Kuroi is talking to someone that we don't see, since we're focused on Kuroi. He tells the unseen person that he's done with them for now and for them to leave, seeing as he has business to attend to with Project Jupiter. Before the person leaves, Kuroi explains that Touma, Hokuto, and Shouta have been loyal to him. After the person leaves, we head to Kuroi's office, where Project Jupiter are waiting for him. Shouta asks Kuroi what he's been doing, with Kuroi explaining that they're on a need-to-know basis, and that for now, they don't need to know, but maybe he'll let them in if they prove themselves. He goes on to explain that several idols before them didn't measure up and that only three others ever met his expectations, but that the three of them just might replace them.

When you're in Vocadia City, you can enter the Vocaloid building, where you'll find Kuroi and Project Jupiter harassing Miku again, trying to turn her against the agency. One of the things he tells her is that 765 Production supports Zodiac and that Vocaloid might be in on it, too. Appalled by such an accusation, Miku tells Kuroi that he's lying, that neither agency would ever support such an organization. Kuroi tells Miku that she should really consider thinking about what he said if she knows what's good for her. As he leaves the building, he notices you, but just pushes you aside as he tells you to get out of his way, Project Jupiter following him.

When you first come to Morningsea City, you're treated to a cutscene that takes place inside Hugh and Dolittle HQ. Kuroi is in an office talking to Robert Dolittle, the brother of Jonathan Dolittle, the company's CEO. Seeing how much money H&D makes, Kuroi has decided to get them on his side. Another thing Robert wants is his niece Jenny out of the way so he can be in line to inherit the company. Kuroi tells him that that can be arranged, and that he knows of who Jenny is set to marry, and that he'll take care of that part.

After Zodiac is defeated at Hugh & Dolittle HQ, Kuroi appears and sounding angry at you, he tells you that after what just happened, he's cutting his ties with H&D and that he hopes not to cross paths with you again, seeing that you've already gotten involved in many of his affairs.

After you've exited Flamaze Tunnel, you're treated to a cutscene inside Kuroi's office inside 961 Production, where he decides to tell Touma, Hokuto, and Shouta about the Pokémon of infinity and zero; Infiran and Zerion, a topic that Hokuto says that Kuroi is obsessed with. Kuroi explains that Infiran, being the embodiment of infinity, allows things to infinitely expand and for them to be endless. He then explains that Zerion, being the embodiment of zero, allows for things to be erased and for them to be removed from existence. Touma asks Kuroi just what is the meaning of this tale, with Kuroi responding that he has a thing for Infiran and Zerion and that he wants to share his interests with his star idols. However, he gets ahead of himself and brings up you and how you've become a nuisance. He tells them that you're slandering the name of 961 and that they should teach you a lesson. Project Jupiter believes his lies and decides to go and handle you when they got the chance, leaving the office.

After encountering Zodiac inside the 961 building and defeating Unitye and Triana there, Kuroi comes out of his office and holding back his anger, says that while you managed to oust Zodiac from the building, he didn't need your help and says that if you're looking for a reward, then you might as well forget it. He tells you to leave his office and the 961 building at once and that if you ever come near the building or him again, then you'll be dealt with. He then has Project Jupiter escort you out of the building, with orders to keep you out at all costs.


Princess/Queen Henrietta (Origin: Zero no Tsukaima)
Info: Henrietta is the Crown Princess of Halkeginia and is loved by the people of her region. She has two cousins, Tiffania and Prince Wales. After her father, the previous king of Halkeginia died, Henrietta's mother, Queen Marianne, is currently trying to govern the region in her husband's absence. Henrietta and Louise are childhood friends and she also knows the player character, mainly through the player's father, Prof. Cypress, who helped her bond with her first Pokémon.

Henrietta is first seen in the game when you enter your father's lab in Tristania City. She's talking to your father about things concerning the royal family and her mother unsure about ruling the region as well as rumors about Zodiac planning an attack on the royalty. Prof. Cypress tells her that as far as they can tell, Zodiac has yet to make an actual attack on anyone, but that if she feels threatened, she should take caution. After seeing you, Henrietta explains that it's been a long while since she last saw you and is amazed to hear that you've begun your own Pokémon journey. She hopes that you'll do well and that she'll want to see you again when you've become a strong Trainer.

Once you've gotten the Swallowtail Badge, a message will appear on your Holo Caster with a news flash saying that Henrietta, who's visiting Vindobona City, has been attacked by Zodiac. After heading to Vindobona and defeating Zodiac, causing Graves to retreat, Henrietta thanks you for helping her and seeing how far you've come, she decides to give you a gift, which is what Zodiac was trying to take from her, a Mega Ring. She explains that it's an heirloom passed down through the Halkeginian royal family for centuries and that only seven others are said to exist within the region. Henrietta explains that using the Mega Ring, certain Pokémon can enter what's called a Mega form, but that a Mega Stone is also required.

Starting at this point in the game, if you go to Tristain Palace, Henrietta will tell you that she specializes in what are called Inverse Battles, where type matchups are reversed, and that if you want, you may partake in an Inverse Battle with her. Henrietta has many preset Pokémon, but only three chosen at random are used in a battle. After defeating her, if none of your Pokémon fainted, Henrietta will give you three of the same item from a selection of several, or she'll give you one item from the same set. As you progress further through the game, Henrietta adds more Pokémon to what she may use and the levels of her Pokémon increase, as well the prize money she gives you. Henrietta can be battled once per day.

When Zodiac uses Infiran (Infinite) or Zerion (Zero) to envelop the entire world in an expanding space (Infinite) or void (Zero), Henrietta appears outside the Pokémon League building in Campaigner City on her along with a Skibison carrying Project Jupiter, saying that there's a way for them to reach Zodiac's gigantic jet and stop them. She tells you, Lili (if male)/Kim (if female), Miku, and Looker to get on Skibison, and that they'll fly up to the jet together. Inside the jet, upon reaching Kuroi, Henrietta tells him to stop what he's doing, only for him to say that she's in no place to tell him what to do and blasts her and with everyone else with light (Infinite) or dark (Zero) energy.

After defeating Variruin and the Zodiac Jet being destroyed, Henrietta appears along with everyone else on Mt. Germania. As she thanks you for protecting the world, the Queen appears along with Prof. Cypress to also give you gratitude. Your father is amazed at what you've done and that they need to do something in celebration. However, the Queen speaks up, revealing that she can no longer rule over Halkeginia and that she wants Henrietta to do so, so maybe a coronation is in order first. Miku agrees, saying that that they could also use the opportunity to bestow you with high honors. With that, everyone decides to head back down the mountain.

Before the credits, you attend Henrietta's coronation at Tristain Palace, where every Gym Leader, Elite Four member, Lili/Kim, Miku, Saito, Lynn, Miki, Hibiki, Takane, Project Jupiter, Honoka, Nagisa, Ichigo, Looker, Prof. Cypress, and your mother are all in attendance. Once Cardinal Mazarin pronounces Henrietta queen, the new Queen decides to appoint Louise as next in line and then presents to you the Medal of Halkeginia, saying that she expects great things from you. Starting now, when you battle Henrietta in an Inverse Battle, she now uses Pokémon from outside the Halkeginia Pokédex and also has the "Queen" Trainer class instead of "Princess".


Looker (Origin: Pokémon Platinum)
Info: Looker is an International Police agent that has come to Halkeginia in order to look into what Zodiac is doing. He has a feeling that the random acts of terror that they're causing is actually a cover for a far more malevolent plan. Looker happens to be a master of disguise, which can help him out at times. He appears several times throughout the game, mainly in order to investigate whatever Zodiac's planning.


Princess Bonnie III (Origin: BonnieGames)
Info: Bonnie is the princess of the Nostrum region and also her region's Pokémon League Champion. She is a lovely girl that is idolized all over Nostrum and also happens to be well-known in Halkeginia. Many boys admire her and like to flock to her presence and many girls like to do things like dress up as her. Given her status as Champion, she's considered her region's strongest Pokémon Trainer.

Bonnie appears in Londinium City in Albion Divinity, where she's with Prince Wales, who's also cousin to Henrietta. It turns out that Bonnie is also Wales' fiancée, and the two of them hope to bring unity to both Nostrum and Halkeginia. Upon first meeting you at Albion Castle, Bonnie commends you for having stopped Zodiac and that you remind her of someone she knows back in Nostrum, saying that she wishes there were more people like you and her friend and that the world can be a more peaceful place through such people. She also reveals it was her Skibison she lent to Henrietta that you used to reach the Zodiac Jet.

Later during the post-game, Graves attacks Albion Castle and supposedly takes Bonnie hostage. However, it turns out Bonnie isn't that easy to kidnap and has a standoff with him with her Hydreigon. After Frazilova is freed from Graves's control, Bonnie helps Looker and Yukiho confront him, causing him to throw himself off of the edge. Starting after this event, Bonnie will be visited at her chateau by the female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members on specific days of the week and seasons.

After you've entered the Hall of Fame, if you go to Bonnie's chateau to see her, she'll ask you if you'd like to battle her. If you select "Yes", then you'll do so. Note that you can only battle her one per month.


Yukiho Hagiwara (Origin: iDolm@ster Xenoglossia)
Info: Yukiho is from the Nostrum region, where she was the assistant to Prof. Mariana Palm at the Pokémon Institute. However, she was also a member of Turiavita, due to her close friendship with Chihaya Kisaragi, and she was actually a spy for the organization. After the events of Pokémon Flora, Azure, and Solar, feeling regret for her actions, she chose to leave Nostrum and came to Halkeginia to begin a new life in a house on Route 432.

When Zodiac comes to Albion during the post-game, Yukiho, alongside Looker, is first seen being confronted by two Zodiac Grunts, who were told by Graves to deal with them. Upon seeing you, Yukiho asks you to help her deal with the two Grunts and serves you as a Multi Battle partner from here on in. After defeating the two Grunts, Looker reveals Yukiho's former connections with Turiavita and says that Graves dispatched the two Grunts to take her out. Looking for a way to redeem herself for her past actions, Yukiho agreed to help Looker put a stop to whatever Zodiac is trying to do here. Yukiho follows you and Looker into the Ancient Valley, into Undetopia, to the Frozen Volcano, and back to Albion in order to stop Graves. Once Graves throws himself off a cliff, Looker tells Yukiho that her help was enough to redeem her and that he hopes she stays on the path of good. Yukiho agrees to do just that.

Starting after this, if you go to Yukiho's house, she'll ask if you want to have a battle with her, which you'll do if you select "Yes". Yukiho can be battled once per month and will give you a Fairy Crystal the first time she's defeated.

(------------------------------)
Here's a bit of trivia on some of the things brought up in the games.

On a topic about Henrietta's mother Queen Marianne, it's actually unknown if her husband died of natural causes of if he was assassinated (there are rumors saying that Zodiac may have killed him).

The founder of Halkeginia, Brimir lived more than 6000 years ago and used Infiran and Zerion to almost wipe out the other side in a massive war that took place. More of this story is told by Looker.
 
The Dark Interlopers happen to be the counterpart to the Lake Guardians. They are the ones that have imbued humanity with anger, greed, and fear. About 500 years ago, they wreaked chaos throughout Halkeginia before they were sealed away by Variruin.
 
The nature of whoever awakens Variruin is imprinted onto it and that it can be either a source of benevolence, or a force of destruction.

Did you know that Chillaser and Chillspark are based off of snow rabbits?

Next up happens to be the leaders of the battle facility in Pokémon Infinite and Zero, the Battle Academy, which works similar to the Battle Maison on Pokémon X and Y. Note that like you would expect, there's a list of Pokémon that are banned here, with that list consisting of any Pokémon that's already banned in such facilities (including the Battle Tower and Frontier of Pokemon Flora, Azure, and Solar) as well as Infiran, Zerion, Variruin, and Crisalia. Also, wait until you see who the Academy Leaders happen to be!

(------------------------------)
ACADEMY LEADERS

Ruby Rose (Origin: RWBY)
Info: Ruby is a girl with dark red hair who attends Beacon Academy located just outside of the City of Vale. She actually got to start attending there two years earlier than most people due to her unexpected prowess. Ruby also happens to be the leader of Team RWBY, a group of four girls tasked with fighting dangerous wild Pokémon. She is also capable of reaching superhuman speeds and wields the Crescent Rose, a weapon that is a combination of a scythe and sniper rifle.

Ruby can be first seen during Zodiac's attack on the City of Vale during the post-game, where she comes to Blake Belladonna after you've made Graves flee. After that event, you'll be able to see her upon winning your 20th consecutive Single Battle at the Battle Academy, where she will challenge you to a battle. Upon winning your 50th consecutive Single Battle, she'll challenge you again, although with a completely different and much tougher lineup than before. If you have Honoka, Nagisa, or Ichigo as a Tag Battle Partner, then it's possible to have a Multi Battle with Ruby and either Weiss, Blake, or Yang, with each person using two Pokémon from their lineup.


Weiss Schnee (Origin: RWBY)

Blake now attends Beacon Academy and is part of Team RWBY. She wields the Gambol Shroud, a katana that has a pistol in the hilt attached to a long ribbon often used in the style of a kusarigame. Blake also happens to be one of the leaders of the Battle Academy. Blake's character is based off of Belle of Beauty and the Beast.

Upon winning your 50th consecutive Triple Battle, she'll challenge you again, although with a completely different and much tougher lineup than before. If you have Honoka, Nagisa, or Ichigo as a Tag Battle Partner, it's possible to have a Multi Battle with Yang and either Ruby, Weiss, or Blake, with each person using two Pokémon from their lineup.

On the topic of Blake, I wanted her to have a backstory similar to hers in RWBY, so I made her a former member of Zodiac. Also, sorry if anything pertaining to her as a Faunus isn't brought up, but Ruby does make a mention of wondering why Blake is always wearing a bow. Anyways, next up will be the villainous team of Pokémon Infinite and Zero, which as you already know is Zodiac.

Trivia Time

Did you know that Refrather, Pearism, and Crisalock are based off of peacocks and have prism-like tails?

Sunflorazumarill:
Okay. Now it's time to reveal the details of Pokemon Infinite and Zero's villainous team, (Team) Zodiac. When it came to Zodiac, I wanted to go with a villainous team that has no motives whatsoever for their actions, and that they cause terror and chaos just because they can. In short, they're supposed to come off as a villainous team version of the Joker (from Batman). However, their leader does have a master plan in mind.

(------------------------------)
(TEAM) ZODIAC

(TEAM) ZODIAC (Origin: Pokémon Infinite/Zero)
Zodiac is a villainous team located in the Halkeginia region. Not much is initially known about them other then the Grunts are told to cause terror, chaos, and destruction everywhere they go. However, Zodiac's true nature is very horrific, as their leader seeks to create a world of darkness, despair, and torment, where everyone and everything in the world is subject to pain and suffering for eternity, a world that is a living hell. Zodiac is known to be very cruel and a lot about them is unknown, including the identity of their leader, which only the Zodiac Trinity and one other higher-up have knowledge of.

[<<<<<<(Team) Zodiac>>>>>>]
Boss: Takao Kuroi
Zodiac Trinity: Unitye, Dualit, Triana
Notable Members: Graves
Other Members: Blake Belladonna
Lower Members: Zodiac Grunts, Zodiac Admins, Scientists
Buildings: Zodiac Base, Zodiac Jet
[<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>]
Zodiac appears at the beginning of the game, where on the TV in your house, a member of Zodiac shrouded in shadows talks about how they will make Halkeginia tremble in fear of them and that they will show them what terror really is. Such a pirated broadcast is enough to upset your mother, who is a little reluctant to let you go on your Pokémon journey, despite it being the day where you begin. However, she realizes that so far, they haven't seemed to make good on their threats and has decided that you can go on your journey.

When you're going through Alden Forest, you'll find Lili (if male) or Kim (if female) being confronted by two Zodiac Grunts, who are planning to set the entire forest on fire, saying that they'll firebomb the whole place. When they notice you, the first Grunt tells you that they aim to strike fear and terror into the hearts of everyone in Halkeginia and that any that try to stop them will be met with their end. At this point, you and Lili/Kim battle the two Grunts in a Multi Battle. After being defeated, the two Grunts tell you that you'll pay for getting in their way and flee. After the ordeal, Lili/Kim says that it's fortunate that the Pokémon in the forest are now safe, but wonders if Zodiac will return.

After making it to La Rochelle, you'll have to make a detour back to Tristania City, only to find out that Zodiac has decided to attack Tristain Academy! You'll have to battle a number of Grunts as you make your way to the headmaster's chamber. There, you'll discover Unitye, who's part of what is called the Zodiac Trinity, a trio of higher-ups in Zodiac, and who has defeated Louise. Unitye explains that why they're attacking Tristain Academy is simply because they can, because why do they need a reason to. She then says that she'll attack you since she wants something else to do, forcing you to battle her. After she's defeated, Unitye says that she wanted to wreck the academy more, but because of you has to flee, which she does with Zodiac.

Later in the game, while you're in Lutéce City, you'll find out from Louise that Tabitha, a girl who manages the Lutéce Library, has disappeared after going to the Grand Clock Tower. Upon entering the tower, it turns out that Zodiac is here and must be battled on the way up. Upon reaching the top, you'll find Tabitha being held captive by Dualit, another member of the Zodiac Trinity. After making a bad comment about Tabitha's glasses, Dualit explains that Zodiac doesn't do what they do for money or power, but because they like to do terrible things like blow up this clock tower. Apparently, Tabitha just had to come and see what was going on, and now Dualit can't let you leave either, forcing you to battle her. After being defeated, Dualit mocks your fashion sense and hopes that her nail job hasn't been ruined. She then leaves along with the rest of Zodiac.

After the incident with Kuroi and Project Jupiter at Vocaloid Corp. in Vocadia City, you'll discover from Saito that Zodiac has attacked the city and have placed bombs throughout it. Saito decides to help you find and deactivate the bombs before they go off, as well as help you defeat any Zodiac Grunts in the city in Multi Battles. Once all the bombs have been diffused, Saito will notice someone head into Vocadia Park and follow her there. Upon heading there yourself, you'll find that Saito is busy with two Zodiac Grunts and you'll confront Triana, the third member of the Zodiac Trinity, in front of the Ferris wheel. Triana explains that she's doing what she's been told to do, and that is to destroy Vocadia City to show that Zodiac isn't messing around. With that said, you end up having to battle Triana. After she's been defeated, Triana will tell you that Zodiac will strike again and leaves.

After taking the Diendye Express to Diendye Station, the train comes to a halt, due to power from the Frozen Power Plant being cut. You end up heading north to the power plant to find out that it was Zodiac that cut the power. The first Grunt says that they're diverting the power to somewhere before cutting herself off, saying that you're not supposed to know where, then battles you. After she and the other three Grunts there are defeated, they retreat and you're able to turn the power to Diendye Station back on.

After the power is turned back on, you'll get a message on your Holo Caster from a girl named Lynn Lambretta asking for your help to "kidnap" her friend Jenny Dolittle from an arranged marriage. The location where Jenny is is Fairy Tower in Morningsea City. However, when you and Lynn enter, it turns out that Zodiac is present, giving an idea that they're somehow involved with what's going on and the two of you taking down a number of Zodiac Grunts in Double Battles. Upon reaching the top, you end up meeting Jenny who explains what's going on, but then Unitye and Dualit appear to prevent Jenny from getting out of the wedding. You and Jenny end up battling the two of them in a Multi Battle. After they're defeated, Jenny explains that the man she's set to marry, Graves, might have connections with Zodiac.

After having rescued Jenny, it turns out that Zodiac has decided to attack Hugh & Dolittle in retaliation for what happened at Fairy Tower. After making your way through many Zodiac Grunts and one Admin, you'll come face to face with Graves, Jenny's fiancée, who is revealed as Zodiac's second in command and who Jenny's uncle Robert has turned to in order to get the company. Graves reveals that Zodiac actually plans to destroy Hugh & Dolittle and wreck the economy of Halkeginia. You end up having to battle Graves, who after being defeated, decides to withdraw Zodiac from Hugh & Dolittle HQ, seeing as what they planned to do to it has been stopped, and Looker arrests Jenny's uncle.

After you've obtained the Hothead Badge, there will be rumors of suspicious activity occurring at the Flara Department Store in Misaki City. After waiting until night and heading into the building, it turns out that there is a small group of Zodiac Grunts on the topmost floor, and they're planning to blow up Misaki Clock Tower. You'll end up having to battle all four of them one after the other. Once they're defeated, Shana shows up, and while she finds out that she's too late to fight them, she forces them to leave, which they do.

Later in the game, when traveling through the Nephys Desert, you'll find Zodiac inside the Maze Pyramid, where you'll have to fight a number of Grunts as you explore the place. Upon reaching the topmost floor of the pyramid, you'll find Triana, who looks at a large mural depicting Brimir, the founder of Halkeginia. After turning to face you, she says you shouldn't have come here and battles you a second time. After being defeated, Triana says that they've already gotten whatever Graves wanted from here. After that, she leaves the pyramid, saying that she needs to go do what she's been told to do.

You end up chasing Triana out of the pyramid and to a cave that's been sealed off long ago. She says this is the Cave of Angrage, and that she along with Dualit and Unitye at the other two caves, the Cave of Selfeed and Cave of Fearnoia, they will unleash all three Dark Interlopers; Incinaos, Paralaos, and Frozaos, and use them to spread havoc throughout Halkeginia. Using a key of some sort, Triana opens the Cave of Angrage, and a cutscene of Incinaos shooting out of the cave occurs, followed by Paralaos and Frozaos doing the same at their locations. Triana says Halkeginia will descend into madness and leaves.

After having gotten through Magma Lake in Undetopia, you'll find a Survey Corps member who explains that he was attacked by mysterious people he had never seen before and that they were heading for the temple. As it turns out, not even Undetopia is safe from Zodiac since they've come to the Halkeginia Temple. At the temple, you'll have to fight your way through several Zodiac Grunts and also one Admin before reaching the center of the temple. Here, it turns out that there's more to Zodiac than random terror as Graves is here and looking at a mural of Infiran and Zerion. After noticing you and taking the Infinity Orb (Infinite) or Zero Orb (Zero), he asks Dualit to enter the chamber and teach you a lesson. Dualit says that she couldn't care less about what they're doing underground, saying it's bad for her complexion. After that, she says that you've made a mistake in coming here and battles you a third time. After being defeated, Dualit asks why won't you die and that you're "like a Shakroach with horrible fashion sense". Graves tells Dualit that they're done at the temple and to leave as soon as possible. Dualit pushes you to the ground so that they'll be gone before you get up.

After you've obtained the Swallowtail Badge, a news flash comes up on your Holo Caster explaining that Zodiac has attacked Vindobona City where Henrietta is and are threatening her. Upon arriving in Vindobona City, Louise meets up with you and brings up that Saito was with Henrietta at the time of the attack and decides to assist you in taking down the Zodiac Grunts inside the Hall of Vindobona. Upon defeating the last Zodiac Grunt and Admin, Graves, who led the attack, is angered at what you and Louise have done and while he'd like to teach both you a lesson, he currently isn't prepared to do so and withdraws, saying that he was unable to get Henrietta's Mega Ring.

After you've crossed Frost Lake in Undetopia and have reached the surface once more, Miki, Hibiki, and Takane appear and tell you that they've seen Zodiac attack 961 Productions. Although Kuroi is a jerk, whatever Zodiac is doing can't be good and that it is best they find out what's happening. Upon going to the 961 Building in Audilia City, Lili/Kim comes out of the door and explains that she/he managed to get in after Zodiac attacked and lets you in so that both of you can take them out, Lili/Kim serving as a Multi Battle partner. After making your way through a number of Zodiac Grunts and one Admin, you'll find Triana and Unitye outside Kuroi's door, saying that the business they have with him is something that you don't need to know and they battle you and Lili/Kim. After they're defeated, they along with the rest of Zodiac flee and while you and Lili/Kim saved him, Kuroi only hates you more than ever and has both of you sent out of the building right away.
