"The newborn Zorua is a little smaller, yes. It's not clear to me at this time whether she'll grow out of it or not. Perhaps it will depend on her training. She is not ill in any way. She's younger than the other pups too. They're all a little weak when they're born, naturally, but I think she shows a lot of potential."

(Alright, since you haven't directly brought it up in the thread, Dragonstrike, I'm going to ahead and assume Nathan would and has given Terra his request for a Zoura himself and permission to use the HM ROCK SMASH as a bargaining chip, since we clearly agreed on doing so in the Meta Thread and I don't want to stall things out)

Terra closed his eyes in though for a moment as he thought over Howl's assessment of the littlest Zoura and mulled over the rest of the foxes available for purchase, before he opened them and regarded the Gym Leader with a smile and a tiny nod.

"I agree. She may be frail now, but I know she has the potential to become a mighty vixen someday. For I will see to it that she does. Howl, good sir, I believe I have come to a decision....."

With that, Terra buys the most delicate Zoura for $7000 Poke! They're partners now, to the very end! He'll see to it that she'll grow out of her weakness and become strong and impenetrable as the blackest of nights, just like Shiranui did for him!

As for the other Zoura, the now merchantile monk made an offer for the Gift Zoura: $9000 Poke + However Much Nathan Would Give Him For It + Access to HM ROCK SMASH to teach his own Pokemon, to be registered/traded to Nathan. He does so with all the charm and persuasive grace gifted and taught to him by his family, saying that he's already paid full price for his dear girl and they have much to gain with having the power of a Legendary HM at his beck and call, so why not give him and his friend a small discount....?
