Stealing the Show

**Stealing the Show** is the 1st episode of Ultimate Arena, featuring Asher from Tribes of Fusion and Ebony the Traitor from The Secret of The Idol in a battle between hardened and coquettish anti-heroic thieves.

## Trivia

* The connections between Asher and Ebony are that they are thieves who grew up in the criminal underworld and possess the ability to temporarily steal the strength of their enemies and use it for themselves (Snatch and Viribus Swipe, respectively.) Both have a tendency to shamelessly flirt. Both were orphaned at a young age and had a rough upbringing in a snowy part of the region while having different ways of getting by through crime (Asher took control of the crime in the deserted city he was living in by becoming the gang leader and Ebony betrayed every single gang and person at every opportunity for her own benefit.) Due to their upbringings, they have completely opposite attitudes, especially when it comes to helping those in need (Asher is happy to help the less fortunate and Ebony was distrusting of any and all strangers) Both would meet a high-spirited friend who is regarded as one of their closest (Artemis for Asher and Krystal for Ebony.) Both eventually aided in an effort to stop a greater evil from taking over the world (Ivan Faust and the Tribe of Shadows, respectively) thanks to a call to arms from their allies (Gappei Village and Team Ravenfield, respectively.)

	+ **Grizzly's Vengeance-** A counterattack utilizing Lash Out and Payback. If Eadwulf sustains a crippling blow to his body (i.e. stat drops or serious injury), his staff is empowered with a thick, sinister aura where he unleashes a brutal combo string onto the target's center, mainly the abdomen.

He will attack anything that provokes him and unleash as much harm as possible until someone else provokes him. He will lash out at the slightest provocation when in this mindset and can't discern friend from foe. The only way to stop him is to knock him out cold. Eadwulf despises this side of himself and tries everything in his power to keep the Explosive Wolf from letting loose. Two triggers are required to unleash the Explosive Wolf. Eadwulf's OCD for cleanliness must be provoked, and he must be placed in a stressful situation, such as a battle.

Krystal Frostwood

**Krystal Frostwood** (Delibird) is a supporting character in The Secret of the Idol. She is the team leader of Team Shatter Star and a specialist in explosive magic.

## History

### Early Childhood

Krystal grew up in the deep ends of the Snow Zone with her family. Her parents were former tournament fighters before settling down to start a family. Krystal was inspired by the thrills of their past and wanted to partake in tournaments when she was older. From an earlier age, she trained alongside her parents and learned how to harness explosive magic. Through her childhood, she partook in amateur tournament fights against other magicians-in-training and proved to be an unstoppable force.

### Team Shatter Star's Beginning

After turning sixteen, Krystal was ready to start her professional fighting career. She left home with her family's blessing and started her journey to the Ironworks Kingdom. She sought out the kingdom for its incredible training grounds and believed it would be the perfect place to stay before starting her tour around Mysto. Upon reaching the hidden kingdom, she searched the open job listings and found her way to Hawkeye's Burrow, a firearm shop run by the Hawkeye family.

Krystal is given the job almost immediately and put under the care of the owners' daughter, Cybil. Krystal maintains her upbeat attitude, somewhat ignorant to the cold reception from her new coworker.

## Personality

Krystal is upbeat and filled with boundless energy. She speaks her feelings loudly and shamelessly to all, a trait picked up from the chaotic state of her home. She will often have a smile on her beak and express her love to her friends with bone-breaking hugs.

She believes in comradery and the impact of friendship on a person's life, hence why she refers to her close friends and acquaintances as "comrade". Regardless of whatever reception or attitude thrown in face of her positivity, she'll take it on the chin and deliver back with even more kindness.

Because of the rigorous training she endured with her parents, Krystal has a fanatic obsession with explosions and dramatics. She often ropes her team into performing a team introduction with a dramatic explosion in the background, which can often lead to unintended fires. Her reckless nature when fighting is perceived as dangerous by her opponents as she puts everything she has into her attacks when fired up.

Krystal occasionally dials back on her dramatic personality if the situation is called for. This is especially true with her girlfriend, Cybil, the polar opposite to her positivity. She can be sweet and caring to those having a bad day and graciously offers a shoulder to cry on when needed.
Victoria Maldonado

**Victoria Maldonado** (Azumarill) is a supporting character in Bandits of the Forest. She is a new recruit of the Foresters and training under Melissa Penworth.

## History

### Pre-Debut

Her family has worked for generations to create a magic style that would allow their family to be recognized as elite magicians, but their attempts often ended in self-detonation. Victoria wanted to do more to help her family and kingdom in these struggling times, but was too young to make change.

When she became of age, she tried out for the Arcanian Knights to serve her kingdom. Due to her "unlucky good luck", she failed out of her training. When mention of the Foresters came up, Victoria ventured out on her own to join them and become a true hero that can help restore her kingdom.
Althalos

**Althalos** (Dusknoir) is an antagonist in Bandits of the Forest. He is the leader of the Dukes of Buzzard, specialized in illegal alchemical trade. He served as the major antagonist of Rising Stardust before going on the run from Last Autumn.

## History

### Prior to Rising Stardust

Althalos was born into a big family deep within the Great Ruins. They worked on a farm to self-sustain themselves amidst the barren conditions. Due to their place of birth, they were considered outcasts of Virdis, the freaks of the past. They stayed away from civilization as much as they could.

As time passed, disease took over and slowly picked off their numbers. Althalos' little brother was the last to fall victim to disease, leaving him by his lonesome for half a year. He continued his responsibilities on the farm to sustain himself and keep their ancestral home alive.

One day, after returning home from working on the fields, he found himself graced by the presence of a stranger named Terrowin. Though initially hostile, Althalos didn't see the man as a threat and resigned to the surprise company. They shared in light conversation until the topic shifted to finding one's purpose. Althalos admits he doesn't have much of a purpose besides living for his deceased family. Terrowin stokes the flames of Althalos' hatred for the ten kingdoms and the ruins it brought to the once prosperous Virdis. Althalos agrees to a partnership with Terrowin.

## Personality

### Moveset

* Will-O-Wisp
* Spite
* Poltergeist
* Shadow Sneak
* Darkest Lariat (formerly)
* Icy Wind (formerly)

### Enhanced Moves

* **Abyss Clouds-** A combination of Gravity and Infestation. Althalos conjures a mist-like darkness that he has complete control over. It possesses qualities of a gas and solid at the same time, making it very difficult to shake off once it latches onto a target. When tension is applied, the clouds take on a solidified form that squeezes and crushes anything caught in its grip. It is nearly inescapable and can be reproduced in mass quantities. It can also be used for grappling or catching without using its crushing force.
	+ **Silent End-** After creating tons and tons of Abyss Clouds, Althalos uses them to trap the area he and his opponents are occupying, creating a nearly inescapable domain completely at his mercy.
	+ **Hellbat-** Utilizing Poltergeist and Will-O-Wisp, Althalos ignites any items tainted by his Abyss Clouds and throws them at the target.
	+ **Hunter Shadow-** Utilizing Shadow Sneak, Althalos extends a shadow composed of the Abyss Clouds to ensnare targets.

* **Abyssal Fog-** A technique utilizing Abyss Clouds. Tons and tons of darkness rises up to drown a target.
Hedwig

**Hedwig** (Midnight Lycanroc) is a supporting character in Bandits of the Forest. She is a member of the Foresters and one of the last known descendants of the Savage Kin, those who worship the Savage Era.

## Personality

Having been raised in the Savage Kin, Hedwig takes on the traits of a wild animal much like the ancient Pokémon. She is aggressive, hotheaded, and considered feral compared to her modern day counterparts. She believes modern Pokémon have grown soft and lost their killer instinct, thus she upholds the belief of connecting with one's feral roots.

She doesn't care for modern luxuries and prefers to live like a wild animal, whether that be sleeping outside or eating real meat (though, she begrudgingly eats faux meat). She is often attempting to convince other Pokémon to join her pack.

Despite her savage nature, she is immensely loyal to her friends. If anyone tries to harm what she considers her pack, she will stop at nothing to make the aggressor suffer.

### Moveset

**Ability-** No Guard

* Thrash
* Outrage
* Counter
* Scary Face
* Roar
* Close Combat

### Enhanced Moves

* **Wild Hunting Style-** A combination of Thrash and Close Combat. A fiery red aura surrounds her. This fighting style brings out Hedwig's wild side, adopting the traits of an unhinging animal. There is no reason to her attacks. She flails and thrashes at her target, overwhelming them with crazed defiance. After using this technique, she becomes exhausted.
* **Beast Slaying Style-** A combination of Outrage and Close Combat. Her fur glow red. This fighting style is much more controlled, focusing on brutality over overwhelming ferocity. Hedwig delivers her strikes by focusing on what can do the most harm possible. After using this technique, she becomes exhausted.
* **Aura of Intimidation-** A combination of Scary Face and Roar. A passive technique that instills the fear of the Savage Kin into her targets. Her mere presence frightens lesser beings.
* **Savage Goddess-** A combination of Thrash, Outrage, and Counter. Hedwig's ultimate technique. Her entire form is enveloped in a shell of red aura, appearing as an amorphous monster. She turns all the damage she accumulated and her rage into pure instinctual survival to eradicate anyone who opposes her. Thought and reason are shutdown. Any damage she takes in this state fuels her power. When the effects of this technique ends, she passes out due to the strain.
Life in the City

**Brief Synopsis**

The story is about two brothers, a self proclaimed genius Charmeleon named Diego and a cool guy but secretly a nerd Pikachu named Chase, and their everyday life living in Neo City as runaway orphans. Later on in the story, the brothers meet the Montoya Sisters, a kick-happy and authoritive Flaffy named Diana and an optimistic bundle of energy Buneary named Rebecca. Diego and Chase also acts as older brothers/guardian to young Chespin named Derek in some of the chapters, who in turn looks up to older boys as role models. The story follows a ''Slice of Life'' story-telling, as such wacky shenanigans ensues in some chapters and others are chaotically wholesome. As of currently, LITC was put on indefinite hiatus.

**Reason for Hiatus**

The main reason the story was put on hold was PM64's current way of story telling clashes with LITC's. PM64 mentioned ~~in "input name here"~~ he works better on linear progression story telling rather than random on-the-spot writing. In addition to this, he initially thought having a story with no major plot progression would help him relax and have fun.

**Trivia**

* Life in the City (LITC) is the fourth fanfic PM64 wrote chronologically.
* LITC is also the second fanfic he wrote having BlazingSparkshipping and the third having Lagomorphshipping.
* LITC is PM64's first take on a ''Slice of Life'' story telling.

* Chase Daylight
* Diana Montoya
* Diego Sliverfang
* Derek
* Harold Montoya
* Linda Montoya
* Paige Alcorn

Giles Grove

**Giles Grove** (Heatmor) is a supporting character in Bandits of the Forest. He was a former Nature Spirit Scout to the Foresters, but was killed during a mission.

## Personality

While not much is known about Giles currently in the story, he was spoken fondly of by his teammates. He was kind and always working hard to help the Foresters, acting as a mentor to some of the new recruits.

Giles is said to be a conspiracy nut constantly looking into information and making connections that weren't there. He would spend days on end researching information to uncover whatever truth he was pursuing, which was seen as a valuable asset to the Foresters, though some would write him off as a lunatic. Giles' research into Last Autumn would have a profound effect on the Foresters, starting them down the path to uncovering Wraith and Last Autumn's return.

Despite being tasked with scouring Virdis for weeks on end collecting mail and meeting with informants, she shows no exhaustion or complaint in her busy schedule.

Despite her small size, Petra has a ravenous appetite. She is capable of eating food three or more times her size with room to spare. She is motivated by food, hence why she looks to her work with excitement. The more she flies around, the more energy she burns, and the more energy she burns, the more food she can consume.

## Abilities/Skills

**Overall Abilities-** Due to the nature of her work, Petra is remarkably swift and endurant. She can fly around most of Virdis in a few short days. In terms of consistent speed, she is considered faster than Jason, who moves through accelerated bursts of speed. She has near inexhaustible stamina which can be replenished with a steady food supply, though she is capable of flying on an empty stomach if the situation is dire.

**Stealth-** Thanks to her small size and swiftness, Petra is capable of sneaking into the capitals of most kingdoms, including the likes of Verde and Senbo. She has been doing this for some time since the Foresters started and evading the watchful eye of the kingdom knights, much to the chagrin of Melissa upon finding out.

### Equipment

* **Travel Bag-** She carries a large travel bag with her to store any mail she collects. It's a few times bigger than her body, but she lugs it around with ease even if filled to the brim. She always stores snacks for the road inside.

### Moveset

**Ability-** Shield Dust

* Speed Swap
* Pollen Puff
* Quiver Dance
* Hyper Beam
* Sticky Web
* Dazzling Gleam

## Trivia

* Petra is the second Forester to make an appearance in Bandits of the Forest, being the Cutiefly that intercepted the message from Sadie.
* According to Petra, she evolved while trying to evade a baker she robbed for food. This was prior to the events of her reappearance in Part 1, Chapter 25.

### Moveset

**Ability-** Surge Surfer

* Electric Terrain
* Psychic
* Stored Power
* Agility
* Nasty Plot
* Electro Ball

### Enhanced Moves

* **Psycho Core**- The main technique of Ulrich's arsenal. It centers around Stored Power and Electro Ball, utilizing power-ups to gradually increase its energy output. The accumulating nature of Stored Power plus the speed-based power of Electro Ball gives him unparalleled destructive power. Due to the vast depth of power accumulated from this, Ulrich can manually control how much is released at once.
	+ **1% Psycho Core: Gentle Seedling**- By using Psychic through this technique, he vastly increases the telekinetic force. He uses this to casually swat people or throw things.
	+ **5% Psycho Core: Blooming Force**- Fires a beam of condensed psionic electricity, which destroys anything it comes in contact with.
	+ **10% Psycho Core: Scattering Honor**- Breaks up his electricity into hundreds of small, projectile energy shots.
	+ **20% Psycho Core: Supreme Aura**- Ulrich ignites electricity off his fur, surrounding himself in a dense aura of it.
	+ **25% Psycho Core: Superior Storm**- An upgraded version of Scattering Honor, firing off larger shots at the target.
	+ **30% Psycho Core: True Sight**- Ulrich fires a thin laser that he can manually change the trajectory of to chase his target.
	+ **40% Psycho Core: Almighty Blast**- By steadying his arm and aiming, Ulrich fires a wide laser from his hand.
	+ **50% Psycho Core: Overwhelming Presence**- Ulrich releases a massive shockwave from his body and obliterates anything caught in its way.
	+ **75% Psycho Core: Universal Bomb**- Ulrich conjures a gigantic ball of psionic electricity and drops it down onto his target. A single blast from this is capable of rending the earth and disturbing the atmosphere for miles.
	+ **100% Psycho Core: Everlasting Pride**- Not much is known on this technique, though it involves Ulrich condensing all his energy into a marble-sized point in his hand.

* **Psycho Field Core**- By manifesting Electric Terrain through his technique, he creates a localized electric field around himself. Not only does this boost his power, but also his speed via Surge Surfer.

## Trivia

Even Northug

**Even Northug** is a contestant from *Forræder (Norway)/Season 3*.

## Profile

*Retrieved and translated from TV 2:*

As the little brother of one of our most winning skiing heroes, the 27-year-old is prepared that the players in "Traitor" will draw parallels.

- It might be a disadvantage that I am Petter Northug's brother. I don't know what that entails, whether people might look at me a little more and drag us under the same roof. That they might expect me to be like someone like him.

- Your cross-country colleague Emil Iversen was in last year's "Forræder". Have you received any good advice from him?

- No, I don't ask Emil for tips, because he was so bad.

Sidney Acworth

**Sidney "Sid" Acworth** (Drilbur) is a supporting character in Bandits of the Forest. She is a member of the Foresters and the Nature Spirit Scouts. She is often accompanied by her best friend, Rusty the Bucket.

## History

Sidney grew up on the streets without a family and had to survive on her own. Due to her lack of education, she struggled to read and write. One day, she ended up finding a discarded bucket and imprinted on it to cope with her loneliness. This would end up being her lifelong companion and surrogate brother, Rusty.

Sidney eventually meets Jason and joins the Foresters so she can have somewhere to live and friends to connect with.

Sidney excelled as a Forester and was handpicked by Jason to become a Nature Spirit Scout. She left Fort Lucus for a month to attend the secret training, returned, and was promoted to Nature Spirit.

## Personality

Sidney is incredibly sweet and empathetic to everyone, considered by her fellow Nature Spirits as the heart of the group. As the youngest of the Nature Spirits, she's often the most naive and will often ask questions regarding subjects she's unfamiliar with.

Sidney was very lonely as a child due to growing up an orphan. To cope, she imprinted onto an old bucket that she named Rusty, and she carries him wherever she goes so she doesn't have to feel alone ever again.

Sidney has moments of self-doubt about her position in the Nature Spirits, believing herself the weakest of the group. Her teammates always assure her that it isn't the case.

## Abilities/Skills

**Overall Abilities-** Sidney was personally selected by Jason to undergo intense training to become a Nature Spirit Scout, the highest-ranking position under Leader. Her skills are comparable to her fellow Nature Spirits. She specializes in terrain manipulation, using the ground to trip up her opponents and provide herself cover. She is deceptively fast once underground and is very tricky to fight once she's in her element.

**Hand-to-Hand Combat-** Sidney specializes in close range fighting, primarily using her hardened claws.

### Moveset

**Ability-** Mold Breaker

* Mud Sport
* Metal Claw
* Earth Power
* Dig
* Drill Run
* Mud Shot

### Enhanced Moves

* **Muddy World-** A combination of Dig and Mud Sport. Sidney dives underground and stirs up the dirt until it softens into mud. She is capable of sinking anything on this terrain.
* **Return to Earth-** A follow-up to Muddy World, Sidney uses Earth Power to heat the mud up and return it to a solid state, trapping anyone caught inside.
* **Fangs of Groudon-** A combination of Earth Power and Metal Claw. Sidney superheats her claws. Due to the nature of the claws, they're even capable of hurting Fire-Types.

## Trivia

* Sidney is derived from the Anglo-Saxon locational name *sīdan īege,* meaning "(at the) wide island/water meadow".
* Sidney's birthday, October 23rd, is the same day as the unofficial Mole Day. It has nothing to do with the animal, but the unit of measurement instead.

Ultimate Arena

**Ultimate Arena** is a web series created on Fanfiction.net. Contrary to other works created by Pokemaster64 on Fanfiction, the series takes on the style of a versus show similar to the popular web show "DEATH BATTLE!", of which is the main inspiration. Ultimate Arena pits two or more characters from PM64's fanfiction stories and creates a simulated fight where the winner is determined via knockout or death. The characters are analyzed with their respective abilities, strengths, and weaknesses by the two hosts of the show, Pandora Day and Lenny Brimstar.

## Episodes

1. Stealing the Show (Asher vs Ebony)
2. Treacherous Confidants (Fang vs Zaros Delarosa)
3. Here Comes the BOOM! (Norris vs Krystal) [in progress]
4. Soldiers of Fury (Matthias Blackfire vs Griffin Everfall) [unconfirmed]

## Trivia

* According to PM64, he chose Pandora and Lenny as hosts to give them slightly more time in the spot light, as they are both minor characters.
	+ Additionally, it is also canon that the only reason Lenny chose to be a host was because no one else aside from Pandora would take the job, as well as wanting to promote his own bar.
* During Ultimate Arena's initial conception, Brad made a rule to outright prohibit killing in the series (quoting Pandora; because he is a wuss.) However, he has since stated that he may do away with the rule due to it not taking into account villainous characters or those with a loose policy on killing.
Zechariah Beaumont

**Zechariah Beaumont** (Cacturne) is a supporting character in Bandits of the Forest. He is the local gravedigger for the Echo Bell Kingdom capital, in charge of taking care of the cemetery and collecting bodies off the street. He is the older brother of Zephora Beaumont.

## Personality

Zechariah is a serious man who takes most situations at face value no matter how ridiculous they are. He rarely interacts with anyone outside of business relations, having very little social skills or understanding of most social norms.

Much like his younger sister, Zechariah appreciates the nature of death and lives to spread the message of the cycle. His fascination is in graveyards and cemeteries, taking a liking to the atmosphere and rich history each tombstone has to tell. He takes his job as the gravedigger very seriously. Because of his fascination with death, Zechariah is the only person in the city willing to clean up after Grim Deadlock's late-night killing sprees. According to Zephora, becoming the capital's gravedigger is seen in their family as a huge honor and a respectable career.

### Equipment

* **Moros**- Zechariah's prized shovel. The scoop's edges have been sharpened to cut through anything he strikes. He seems to believe the shovel contains a spirit inside it. Moros is, in his own words, an imaginary friend.
