PMD: Seventeen Plates DT

That's pretty much what I thought. But don't worry, I just need to know where the plate is and I'll be fine, i have a plan for Celebi, Frost and Twinkiel's next move.
Wait a sec, we're needed for the Palace of Fauna? Like... Soon? Because if we are, screw my plan and the... Fulgur Plate (more original than Volt or Thunder), we'll just go there and wait. Thanks for the directives

The opening motive perfectly conveys Zulu's sadness and melancholy, and the use of a clarinet as solo instrument portrays his shy and submissive personality quite well. At the end of this motive, the fading away of the piano accompaniment emphasises his flighty nature, but it contradicts that very same idea in the next motive: the piano plays a pair of sequences with increasing loudness. This is indicative of a will set on striving towards something better and earning the respect and admiration Zulu so craves, but the first motive is then repeated, further emphasising the difficulty of doing this. An elaboration of the main theme then follows, at the end of which is an incomplete cadence which represents his hope.

The theme is then repeated, but with additional violin accompaniment, making an already beautiful melody even more beautiful, but also increasing its complexity: there is more to Zulu than meets the eye. However, the main theme is repeated one last time, without the violin accompaniment, in order to confirm Zulu's unhappy state of mind. It then fades away, stating that his situation has yet to be resolved. One cannot help but be moved by the theme and feel sympathy and perhaps even pity towards him.

The theme begins with a dynamic introduction, played with electronic instrumentation, affirming Ren's vibrant and active nature. The main idea then ensues with incoherent vocals accompanying the electronic beat, which eventually rises to an even higher pitch, followed by the introduction of a new, constant motive - a clear indication of confidence and a determination to meet his goals.

Halfway through the theme, the mood changes once again and grows ever louder before dipping and swelling to a crescendo once more. Overall though, the theme only succeeds in illustrating Ren's fiery disposition. Any other aspects of his personality - or their clear perception, at least - are lost to the bass, and the theme ends quite suddenly, as if all that energy will be depleted eventually. No memorable experience is gained.

The theme opens with a solemn piano motive which then fades to silence. It possibly represents Frost's situation when first he finds himself in the world of Pokémon, as it was indeed quite grave. The prolonged silence communicates hesitation. However, the string motive that follows is powerful and proud, establishing a change in attitude and personal growth. Where there was once fear and uncertainty, there is only a fearless resolve to succeed.

Near the end of the theme, brass instrumentation accompanies the strings, leading the tension to reach its peak, before resulting in an anti-climax: the repetition of the initial piano motive. The theme comes to a decisive end, the atmosphere apparently just as grave as when it started. The meaning of this can be interpreted as either ultimate failure, or hard-won success - it is ambiguous.
