Zero

**Zero** is a Team Meteor grunt and the host body of ZEL. He, Eve, and Lumi were fused together to become ZEL.

After PULSE Magnezone's defeat, Lumi's and Eve's consciousness go back to their own body and Zero was demoted back to a grunt.

## Story Events

### Ametrine City

A diary discovered in Ametrine City reveals the history behind ZEL, the character that replaces Zero for the beginning portions of the game. After Zero learned of Evelynn's project to create the first PULSE in order to heal her sister, he held Lumina hostage in order to convince Eve to give her invention to Team Meteor. In a test run of the machine, the Magneton that was being used for the experiment evolved, causing the three individuals to fuse into a single body.

### Devon Corp?

Once ZEL and PULSE Magnezone are defeated, the Magnezone explodes, damaging the room and knocking ZEL unconscious. When the player interacts with them, Zero notes that it's oddly quiet before panicking when he realizes he can no longer hear Eve and Lumi's voices. He then runs out of the room, leaving to reconvene with Team Meteor.

### Glass Workstation

Zero is later found with Bennett in the Glass Workstation, controlling the PULSE Hypno responsible for the sleep spell over Agate City. Despite the fact that Eve and Lumi are no longer present, Zero talks as though they're still there and appears to have some sort of mental trauma from the separation. He then reveals that Cain and Shelly have been hypnotized by the PULSE Hypno before ordering them to attack the player. After they have been defeated, Bennett tells Zero to let Shelly go so that they can take control of the player instead.

After the player escapes the void created by Gossip Gardevoir's black hole, Radomus explains what happened while the player was under the PULSE Hypno's control. In said explanation, Zero appears, being lectured by Bennett over his willingness to use the player as a puppet to fight when they only needed to put their enemies to sleep. Here, it is also revealed that Zero was only a grunt before he got involved with Eve and Lumi. Then, once the room has been destroyed by Gossip Gardevoir, Bennett instructs Zero to report back to Lin in Labradorra City, before later chasing after Zero with Laura in order to stop him from reporting in.

### Calcenon City

An unconscious Zero is then met in Calcenon City after the player obtains their 17th gym badge from Hardy, having been put to sleep so he couldn't go back to Team Meteor. Bennett offers to take Zero and use his rescue as justification to enter Labradorra City and turn off the barrier preventing entry.

### Labradorra City

Zero is then found on a roof in Labradorra City watching over PULSE Clawitzer and ordering it to attack the city below. Shortly after the player arrives on the rooftop, Noel follows them, only to nearly die when Zero orders Clawitzer to attack him. Noel survives thanks to the help of Nomos and Shade, after which Radomus also shows up to find Noel. Radomus and Noel then fight a pair of Meteors while the player battles Zero.

Once Zero is defeated (and Radomus and Noel share a brief moment of family bonding), Lumi arrives to make sure that Zero's okay and convinces him to come with her.

### Labradorra Arena

During the Labradorra Tournament, Zero is paired with Taka to fight against Cal and Victoria in the first round. He is referred to by Terra as "THE MAN WHO WAS NAMED AFTER HIS COMPETENCE LEVEL". After losing the match, he is "deleted" and plays no further role in the tournament.

While Zero is among the group trapped in the Labradorra Arena by Terra, he is forced to sit out in order to bring the participant count down to an even sixteen, since "zero doesn't count".

During the Labradorra Tournament, Zero is paired with a cardboard cutout of Taka to fight against Cal and Victoria in the first round. When Zero complains about getting a piece of cardboard as his partner, Terra tells him that it's the player's fault for abandoning Taka in the desert to die. Zero is referred to by Terra as "THE MAN WHO WAS NAMED AFTER HIS COMPETENCE LEVEL". After losing the match, he is "deleted" and plays no further role in the tournament.
