Quarter Anniversary

Every 25 years there is a Quarter Anniversary edition of the Trainer's Tournament. They mark the anniversaries of the number of years the Tournament has been held, and include special celebrations. The Quarter Anniversaries involve some sort of twist that increases the difficulty of the tournament, and make it harder to compete in in order to see which Trainer can overcome the odds given.

A small box containing small yellow envelopes containing specific themes or twists for each Quarter Anniversary. These instructions were planned at the founding of the Trainer's Tournament with the fifth Princess Gertrude Blade, with plans in place for hundreds of Trainer's Tournament.

The Chairman of the Hunter's Association at the time selects the appropriate card and reads it on live television to announce the theme of that year's Quarter Anniversary months beforehand so that Trainers would have time to prepare.

## Past Quarter Anniversaries

In the first Quarter Anniversary, the participants would have to choose one Pokémon type their team would represent in the Trainer's Tournament, and must stick to it until the tournament ends or if they lose. Their chosen types must be made known when they register for the tournament. It serves as a reminder that type disadvantages can be overcome with the right moves and strategies, and possibly as a tribute to the Gym Leaders and Elite Fours of other regions.

In the second Quarter Anniversary, the participants would have to find a tag team partner that has already earned all 12 parts of the four symbols from the Battle Frontier in order to be accepted as a team. This put twice as many people in the tournament, and one tag team can win, which meant there would be two winners. It serves as a reminder that teamwork is very important in Pokémon battles. This was the year that the Dragon Duo had won.

## Trivia

* In FS, the second Quarter Anniversary was the first, meaning the first Quarter Anniversary in the AV never happened in the FS.
Rosaline's Espeon

Rosaline's Espeon was one of Rosaline's first Pokémon that she had caught and her signature Pokémon.

## History

Rosaline first met Espeon as an Eevee during her journey through Johto. She had caught Eevee in Ilex Forest. Rosaline had always wanted an Espeon ever since she was a young child, so she was determined to catch an Eevee and have it evolve into an Espeon.

Sure enough, Rosaline's persistence paid off. She eventually managed to evolve Eevee into an Espeon during her battle with a random trainer along Route 45. Espeon has become Rosaline's loyal companion since.

## Personality

Rosaline's Espeon is extremely loyal to her, having accompanied her since her early days as a trainer. She has a calm and relaxed personality, with a hint of playfulness and curiosity as displayed when she started playing with Rosaline's fanmail. She is also rather affectionate towards her trainer, often rubbing against the latter's leg.

In Season 2, after Amethyst openly lets out her dragon/psychic Pokémon, Rosaline's Espeon develops a close relationship with Amethyst's/Shiki's Espeon, with the two often seen battling/playing with each other.
Rosaline Pyra/Trivia

* Rosaline enjoys Japanese curry and ramen (Japanese noodles).
* Rosaline’s hobbies include drawing, reading mystery novels and manga and watching anime.
* Rosaline is fluent in Korean and Dutch.
* Rosaline is the only member of the team who has a relatively normal background.
* Rosaline is right-handed.
* The reason why Rosaline was unaffected by the ‘dark’ psychology of her teammates is because she is determined to stay strong for them. However, Amethyst mentioned that her determination is probably stemmed from her desire to keep her spot so she can maintain her popularity and remain in power.
* Rosaline dislikes bullies or anyone who has a similar attitude because it reminds her of the bullies from her childhood.
* Rosaline has her own art studio, where she places her personal best paintings. Usually, people need to be invited in order to gain access to it.
* Rosaline wants to become a clairvoyant, just like the Dragon Duo members.
* Rosaline does not like spicy food. This is ironic, considering that she is a fire user.
* Rosaline is afraid of bugs and scary movies. Again, her fear of the former is ironic considering that fire is super effective against bug.
* Rosaline is somewhat disliked by her teammates (especially Amethyst) despite her friendly nature because of her naïveté.
* If Rosaline didn't have her Prophecy ability, Amethyst would have killed her when she started begging for another chance since she felt Rosaline was useless to the Elite Four.
* In the AV, Amethyst only erased the knowledge that she had psychic powers from Rosaline's mind since she had not spent actual time with her, and Rosaline only joined a mere year before Ash in the AV.
* Rosaline was originally supposed to be portrayed as Amethyst's best friend to show that even someone like Amethyst needed a friend to talk to. However, this idea was scrapped as it would not make sense for Amethyst to attack someone she was emotionally attached to. Instead, she was portrayed as a psychic 'rival' of sorts with a normal life and is used to receiving love, which irritated Amethyst, being someone who never received love during her early years.
* If Rosaline was in Hogwarts, she will be a Hufflepuff, but is more of a Slytherin in Hufflepuff robes.
* If Rosaline was a real person, she'd be born in Hong Kong.
55th Trainer's Tournament

The 55th Trainer's Tournament took place 3 years prior to the start of the story. This tournament was won by Rosaline, who later went on to apply for the last spot in the PAL Elite Four with her chosen types.

However, she lost to Jude really badly because of the type match up, which was scorned by the stronger members (Phillip and Amethyst), as they believed type disadvantages do not matter in Pokemon battles. Also, they were critical of the fact that Rosaline depended on her Gardevoir during the battle.

The three of them had reviewed her, and agreed that Rosaline didn't make the cut of an ideal PAL Elite member, as she wasn't even a Hunter (Rosaline did not read the small print that in order to apply, she needed to be a Hunter, and when she realized it, she was horrified she had overlooked it. Amethyst criticized Rosaline, saying as a psychic, she should know.)

What was more, she had never killed before, which made them sure she is not ready to even apply for the last spot, and she immediately applied after winning, which was what a PAL Elite applicant would never do, due to the extremely strict requirements needed in an applicant, which made Amethyst realize Rosaline treated them as an ordinary Elite challenge, and wondered why Rosaline would even bother applying here instead of the other regions.

Rosaline, wanting the last spot very badly, begged fervently for another chance, which Amethyst reluctantly agreed, in the condition that in three weeks, she must pass the Hunter Exam, the Hunter's Association entrance exam, and the department exam.

It is safe to assume that Rosaline had succeeded as the last spot was taken by her.

In Heartsong Symphony, Ash will compete in this tournament.

## Trivia

* This is the first time the three of them gave someone another chance to try for the Elite spot.
* In the FS, this is known as the 30th Trainer's Tournament
PsychicShipping

PsychicShipping is the suggestion that Amethyst and Rosaline are in a romantic relationship. The term is derived from the fact that both of them are Psychic specialists (though Amethyst's one is unofficial as her identity as the Dragon Princess was not known until Season 2).

Amethyst herself also demonstrated what appear to be some feelings for Rosaline, making Rosaline treats, giving her a heart-to-heart talk when the article was exposed (though she was the one who sent out the article), agreeing to go on a long trip to get seashells for a paint Rosaline had wanted, and other things that made Rosaline genuinely like her, suggesting that Amethyst may care for Rosaline in some way.

It is believed that during their time together, Amethyst had tried to make Rosaline leave (by emotionally abusing her) not because she didn't want her in, but to actually save her and not allow her to be corrupted by the PAL Elite member's lack of morals. This shows that Amethyst, despite the fact that she disliked Rosaline the most, in the end truly does care for her.

Side names include SpicyShipping, from the fact that both cannot tolerate spicy food.
Ashura Red Satoshi Kurobane

**Age**
 **Hometown**
 **Relatives**
 **Region**
 **Species**
 **Titles**

"*The one with the power to save the world approaches, born to the Dragon Duo who have a dark yet special heritage themselves, he would be the one who shall know best on how to combat the evil in the world and judge humanity fairly. No matter what path he chooses, he will be the one to bring peace for the Pokémon and do what is right and get rid of the evil by any means possible. He will rise to be greater than any Aura Guardian and be granted the title of The Chosen One, the Master of Legendaries. He would be born as end of May almost approaches.*"
―Arceus' Prophecy on AshuraAshura Red Satoshi Kurobane is the son of the Dragon Duo, Shiki Kurobane and Amethyst Paradinight.

Due to his heritage, his childhood was anything but normal, and even started killing at a young age due to the nature of his parents' jobs and the kidnap attempts on him (because he was the son of the current rulers of the PAL Region). Moreover, his parents wasn't the best at raising kids, and just taught him everything they knew, even things that is not supposed to be taught to normal kids.

Because his father is half demon and half human and his mother is half Loric and half demon, he is a half demon, quarter Loric and quarter human hybrid despite his human appearance.

Despite this, he enjoyed spending time with his parents, learning what he can about his own bloodline and his demonic abilities, training his aura, psychic and combat skills (both weapon and hand-to-hand). He treated the other PAL Elite Four members, Jude and Phillip, as part of his family, and looked up to them very much.

He dreams to be as successful as his parents someday. Ashura is mentioned to look a lot like his father when he was young, except he had his mother's eyes.

Amethyst's Eevee

Amethyst's Eevee is a Normal-type Pokémon (unwillingly) caught by Amethyst and one of her latest addition. Ever since, Eevee would often be seen with Amethyst, whether in her arms or sitting on her shoulder. She was stated to be smaller than the normal size Eevee usually were, leaving the PAL Elite members to deduce she was a baby Pokémon who just hatched from an Egg.

## History

In FS, Eevee was first seen being captured by two poachers, bruised and somewhere near death, until Amethyst stepped in and killed them with her Ice Manipulation. She healed Eevee, and placed her in a garden that would cater to her basic needs and plenty of other wild Pokémon to play with, and somehow, Eevee managed to follow her all the way to Aquamarine's Style, where she had to prepare for the PAL Contest, and snuck into her bag after the Contest ended.

The next day, Amethyst tried to put her back, but Eevee followed her like a magnet and clung to her leg at one point. Amethyst gave up, and Eevee licked her enthusiastically. She was caught by Amethyst after her tag match, and ever since, was seen with her even as Dragon Princess.

In the AV, she was caught off screen by Amethyst.

## Personality

Eevee is an extremely clingy Pokémon, always clinging to Amethyst, and refusing to return to her Pokéball, most likely because she saw Amethyst as her parent. Although she was new, she wanted to be as close as Amethyst was to Skitty, as she had shown envy when she allowed Skitty to hop on her shoulder in FS. She is extremely affectionate towards her trainer, which can be seen in when she often nuzzled herself against her owner whenever she could.

As expected of a baby Pokémon, she has a child-like mindset, and has a playful personality, often seen playing in her appearances. Eevee does not seem to be fazed by Amethyst and her Pokémon's dark psychology for some reason. She can also be choosy, as seen when she decided she'd have Amethyst as her trainer and no one else, and attacked people who wanted to catch her. She also likes to gnaw on things, proven when she chewed on Lance's cape and the hem of Amethyst's hospital gown in the FS. She treats whatever she sees as toys, as shown when she snatched a picture of Lance's aunt, thinking it was some card toy, and has the tendency to search anywhere for toys to play with, proven when she burrowed her way into a paper bag looking for something to play with.

In the AV, she was shown to have a passion for dance, liking to perform her moves on a stage-like rock prior to her capture. She only performed alone away from others, though she did dream of performing on a big stage. She also seemed to have a liking for sweet things, as she had stolen Amethyst's Poképuffs. Her interest of performing was sparked by Amethyst's exhibition Appeal at the PAL Contest, casing her to try to convince Amethyst to be her trainer so her dreams of performing on stage could come true. Due to the fact that she managed to survive by herself prior to her capture ever since she hatched, she has full confidence of herself.
Armenia

**Armenia** has participated in the **AwlaVision Song Contest** 36 times, debuting in the thirteenth contest. Armenia has been participating in ASC since the twelveth edition with the broadcaster *AMRTV* (Hayastani Hanrayin Herrustaynkerut’yun).

## History of Armenia in the AwlaVision Song Contest

Armenia participates since ASC13, when they debuted with Emmy and her song "Ayo". Due to financial problems and a bad result, they decided to withdraw from the competition, although returned later. Due to bad results again, they withdrew from the competition a the second time in ASC17. Two editions later they returned to the contest without withdrawing again until the COVID19 pandemic. Their first victory came in ASC35, when Iveta Mukuchyan won in Thessaloniki with her song "Hayastani aghjikner". Due to the COVID19 crisis, Armenia decided to withdraw from the competition in ASC49, but came back one edition later.

Pakura Goldstein/Trivia

* According to the biographies on her, despite disliking sweet things in general, she does seem to enjoy chocolate-related stuff, such as chocolate custard, chocolate tarts and frozen hot chocolate. Ironically, she does not like to eat chocolates.
* Pakura shares some similarities with Amethyst:
	+ Both of them have two brothers (though Pakura is the middle child, while Amethyst is the youngest)
	+ They have been abused and neglected by their biological families.
	+ Both have someone they care for die, and was their only friend.
	+ They are extremely beautiful that it was almost supernatural.
	+ Both of them have the same first names (until Amethyst learnt her real name).
	+ They are the Princess of the PAL Region at some point in time.
	+ They have the power of Scarlet Anger and was stated to be able to use it very well (AV only).
	+ Both of them are competent with a sword.
	+ Both of them are lawyers (though Amethyst was a Defense Attorney and Pakura was a Prosecutor)
	+ They had killed their own families (Though it is unknown how Pakura did it)
	+ They have cold, vicious and aloof natures, though Pakura's was toned down.
	+ Both princesses were child prodigies.

* It is assumed she knows Latin, as most of her spells are in Latin.
* It is unknown if her backstory would be the same in the AV, as Professional Tennis was not established until 1859. Her career as a professional tennis player would then be impossible. It could be possible that she used time-travel to achieve this, but it may create a paradox.
QuietShipping

QuietShipping is the belief that Amethyst and Phillip belong in a romantic relationship. This shipping term is derived from the fact that Amethyst and Phillip had quiet personalities, and both of them never really got the hang of manners and small talk in social gatherings, and avoids them altogether.

In the stories, Phillip and Amethyst are also best friends, and Amethyst herself stated she had liked Phillip the most among the three members, which may hint that if she were to date a fellow Elite member, she might have dated Phillip. Phillip also is rather open with Amethyst, as opposed to the shy and awkward personality he usually has with people in general.
Belarus

**Belarus** has participated in the **AwlaVision Song Contest** 38 times, debuting in the eleventh contest. Belarus has been participating in ASC since the eleventh edition with the broadcaster *BTRC* (Bielaruskaje Teliebačannie i Radyjo Campanii).

## History of Belarus in the AwlaVision Song Contest

Belarus participates since ASC11 when they debuted with the girl-band Milki and their song "Accent", without getting the final. Due to bad results, they decided to withdraw from the competition. In ASC19 they returned to the contest, coming back with a great streak of good results, including their best position so far, a second place in ASC24 scored by Naviband and their song "Biažy". Belarus did not reach the TOP5 again until ASC42, when in five editions, the country entered in that ranking up to four times.

Phillip Robinson/Relationships & Affiliation

## Affiliation

**PAL Elite Four-** Phillip was the former Leader of the PAL Elite Four, having lost this position to Amethyst. He is the brains of the group and the chief strategist. He is also in charge of their training regime, building new obstacles in the gyms and new levels for their stimulation. Phillip also helps with building and adding special features in the other members' weapons. His contributions to the Elite and the role he plays was enough to earn praise from Amethyst herself.

**Hunter's Association-** Phillip is a member of the Information Department. His contributions were enough for him to earn two stars, and was even close to earning a third star.
Mission Ranks

In the organised society of the Hunters’ Association, Hunters are given missions depending on their rank in their job. The missions are categorised in five ranks, based on the mission's possible danger or level of importance.

D-rank usually assigned to new Hunters who just passed their Exams. They pose almost no risk to the Hunter’s life and usually consist of odd jobs like providing Pokémon care services. The reward for a D-rank mission is between five hundred and five thousand Pokédollars.

C-rank - assigned to more experienced Hunters (no star). They are missions with little to no chance of battling, be it with Pokémon or weapons, against other criminals. Examples are guarding people against assassins, background investigations, and capturing or suppressing wild Pokémon. The reward for a C-rank mission is between three thousand and ten thousand Pokédollars.

B-rank usually assigned to One-Star Hunters. They are missions anticipated to involve battles with other people. Examples are guarding people, espionage and eliminating or capturing poachers. The reward for a B-rank mission is between fifteen thousand and twenty thousand Pokédollars.

A-rank - assigned to Two Star Hunters, concerning, among other things, regional matters and trends. Examples are guarding VIPs, suppressing criminal forces, or cases of missing influential people. The reward for an A-rank mission is between fifteen thousand and a hundred thousand Pokédollars

S-rank - assigned to Three Star Hunters (or more experienced Two-Star Hunters) and concern state-level confidential matters. Examples are assassinating known dangerous criminals, and transporting highly classified documents. The reward for an S-rank mission is more than a hundred thousand Pokédollars.

## Trivia

* Due to the nature of the Blacklist Hunter jobs, their missions are usually ranged from B-rank to S-Rank.
* The Hunter J mission given to Amethyst is considered an S-Rank mission.
* The case of the Dragon Duo rose from A-Rank to S-Rank due to the fact that no one could find them.

54th Trainer's Tournament

The 54th Trainer's Tournament took place 4 years prior to the start of the PAL Chronicles/Dark Chronicles. Amethyst mentioned that it was won by her newest protégé Blaze.

Though not much is known about the competition, It was most likely due to his intense training during his disappearance that led to his victory, as Amethyst herself also stated he was a very strong trainer, having defeated regional Champions before even competing in the Trainer's Tournament and could hold his own against her, though he was ultimately defeated.

## Trivia

* In the FS, this is also known as the 29th Trainer's Tournament.
Serbia

**Serbia** has participated in the **AwlaVision Song Contest** 47 times, debuting in the sixth contest. Serbia has been participating in ASC since the sixth edition with the broadcaster *RTS* (Radio-Televizija Srbije).

## History of Serbia in the AwlaVision Song Contest

Serbia participates since ASC6 when they debuted with Luke Black and his song "Demons". Because of Kosovo's victory in ASC15, they decided to withdraw in ASC16 edition to avoid political problems since Kosovo was hosting the competition, but they returned in next edition. Serbia got its first victory in ASC19 thanks to the debuting singer Marija and her song "Dance like nobody's watching", who scored 335 points in Barcelona. The same singer appeared again nine editions later representing Serbia as well and finished in a decent third place, being in that way the singer with the two highest marks of the country in AwlaVision. From that moment onward, Serbia started a better streak of results, including four TOP7 in a row from ASC31 to 34. However, that milestone was followed by several editions without getting into the final and then some without standing out among the competitors.

Ai Uozumi

## The Passionate Student-Nurse

Zodiac Member (Pisces)

## Brief Description

Ai is the Battle Leader of Altria City's Gym, known officially as the Altria Gym. Unlike the Elite Four members, she does not have a type specialty. Her Gym is the first Gym to be challenged, and it is modelled after a medical facility similar to a hospital.

Her Gym also contained medical facilities to treat Pokémon, and injured or weak Pokémon can be sent to her if the Pokémon Center is overwhelmed. She also have sick bays to treat people, similar to a clinic. As part of her challenge, when battling her, Pokémon would have to battle on their own, without any commands from their Trainers.

She hands the first part of the Water Symbol if defeated.
Phlox DeLaurentis

## The Regional Professor

Phlox DeLaurentis is a highly respected professor residing in the PAL Region. She is the youngest person to currently hold such a position, being the same age as Rosaline. She does not have a main field of study, as she studies anything and everything related to Pokemon, from the relationships between Pokémon and humans all the way to the all-desired Mega Evolution and change. She is also the current manager of the PAL Elite Four. Her lab is located at Primordium City. She is known to provide starters from all the regions, allowing the trainers to have more choices, though it was still limited to the three types a regional starter would have- Fire, Water and Grass.

She is a childhood friend of Rosaline's and the two appear close to one another, both calling each other by their first names, with Phlox calling Rosaline "Rosa". Because of their relationship as childhood friends, it is assumed Phlox came from the same hometown and region as her.
53rd Trainer's Tournament

The 53rd Trainer's Tournament took place 5 years prior to the start of the story. In the year which this tournament was held, it was won by Phillip Robinson, and he later went on to defeat Jude and became the new Leader of the Elite Four, until he was defeated by Amethyst, and his leadership was usurped.

How Phillip won his tournament is unknown, but it is safe to assume that he had outwitted his competitors, as he is the chief strategist of the Elite Four, and one of the smartest Pokemon trainers in the region.

In Heartsong Symphony, it took place two years before the start of the story and is won by Rosaline.
EntertainShipping

EntertainShipping is the suggestion of a romantic relationship between Jude Harrison and Amethyst Paradinight. The ship name derives from the fact that both of them are very popular in the field of PokéVisions, and fans often wanted them to be in the week's PokéVision video that they would be filming.

It is possible that their name is also derived from the fact that Jude is working for the entertainment industry, while Amethyst was often given offers to work in the Entertainment Industry, but she often rejected. Hints include their interactions together, Amethyst being able to casually chat with him, and Jude's protective feelings towards her. Amethyst is also one of the girls Jude never had a problem interacting with even with his dark experience.

This shipping has a side name called PrettyShipping, which is a tribute to the fact that both of them are considered very good looking by locals of the PAL Region.

Akira Dentsuin

## "Regional's Best Surgeon"

Zodiac Member (Gemini)

## Brief Description

Akira is the Battle Leader for Hierbas City's Gym, where the city is the home of many medical herbs, These medical herbs are grown in the forest in the said city, allowing many medicines to be made in the labs to help treat patients. He works in the PAL General Hospital, the biggest hospital in the PAL Region, which is located in Luonto City, which is a half an hour drive away.

His Gym is the second last to be challenged, being one of the most powerful Battle Gym Leaders. His Gym is modelled after a hospital, and provides facilities to heal Pokémon on the spot, saving the need for trainers to go to the Pokémon Center.

Before anyone battles Akira, they must play a game board to determine the condition of the battle. The game board is a massive roulette machine that will scroll quickly through a grid of small boxes. Each event will have a different effect; the choice may affect the player's Pokémon, Akira's, or even the field. He gives out the third part of the Wind Symbol if he was defeated.

He is also a Zodiac member, and part of the jury during trials.

## Appearance

Akira seems to have the Asian look about him, with the typical black hair and black eyes, like the other Zodiac members. However, the black eye trait is not unusual, as most of the other Zodiacs also have black eyes. He had pale skin, and is rather handsome, which made him quite popular among the girls.

## Personality

Akira Dentsuin might seem distant and cold at first glance but is loyal and compassionate and if required, a fierce fighter. He is also somewhat skilled in psychology, being the one to be treating Amethyst while she was in hospital for her mental state and attempted suicide.

It is apparent he cared for her well-being, as he attempted to talk to her during her time in the hospital (AV only), and covered the matter up along with the other Zodiacs so that the public would never find out about her state. It was implied he had learnt his knowledge of poison from Amethyst.

## Trivia

* His preferred weapon is a gun-like cannon.
* He is the oldest Battle Gym Leader.
Amethyst Paradinight (Pakura Ameyuri)/Trivia

* Amethyst is hydrophobic (to an extent, as she still can shower without a problem, just that she keeps the water out of her face if possible, but she stays away from bodies of water), therefore she cannot swim.
* Her hobbies are reading (a book or magazine) and training (whether Pokémon or her own skills).
* Amethyst is implied to be into fashion, as her favorite clothing brand and accessory lines are Mon Petit Cheri and Haute, two of the most popular fashion brands in the PAL Region. She also liked dressing up her Usuki dolls into the clothing sets she had collected.
* Despite being used to fighting in the dark, she usually slept with a nightlight on.
* Not counting her Defense Attorney profession (which she left after Shiki died), she is the only one that doesn't have an occupation that is outside the Hunter job or outside the field of Pokémon.
* Amethyst is horrible at fixing even the simplest of things and IT skills, especially utilizing her laptop’s functions. This makes her the worst in technology among the Elites.
* Her favorite food is probably something like pot pie. She cannot tolerate spicy food and hates mushrooms.
* Amethyst is skilled in most weapons, but she seems to prefer using long ranged weapons such as bow and arrow, guns, and throwing knives.
* Amethyst is ambidextrous, which is why Ash didn’t recognize the handwriting in notes during the Mystery Arc, as the note was written with her right hand, and she is usually seen writing with her left in public and by her Elites. However, if she was asked to raise her dominant hand, she would raise her left.
* Amethyst knows Japanese and Chinese.
* Amethyst is an expert in medicine and herbs, and knows how to make them.
* Amethyst was the only known winner of a Quarter Anniversary that is an Elite Four member.
* Among the five PAL members, she had the highest killing list.
* Amethyst suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder and (in AV only) Schizophrenia.
* It was implied that Pakura is bigger than 42E size in terms of chest size as Aquamrine had told her to get some new ones and Pakura told her that her current bra was for 42E.
* Amethyst makes an appearance in the Villains Fanon Wiki, since her allegiance is unclear in the story and she had faced the other Elite members as a villain in Season 1. She also made an appearance in the Hero Fanon Wiki.
* If Amethyst was a Hogwarts student, she would be a Ravenclaw.

Awla Broadcasting Union

The **Awla Broadcasting Union**, often referred as **ABU** is a union of broadcasters from sixty five different countries across Europe, North Africa and the Caucasus Area with its headquarters located in Espoo, Finland. Every country that is member of the ABU, is allowed to take part in the AwlaVision Song Contest. There are a few nations which have tried to join the ABU with some of them being accepted and some of them being declined.

## History

The Awla Broadcasting Union was formed in 6th September 2015 by the Finnish broadcaster. The first production of the union was the AwlaVision Song Contest which started in 6th December 2015 but was prepared from 20th September 2015, the same month as the union's formation. The union had thirty-three members during the first edition of the contest, until ASC21 there were sixty-five, but nowadays they are sixty.

### **Map evolution**

At first, most of countries were from West Europe and North Europe, but later they joined some countries of East Europe (Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Moldova and the Caucasus), North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, etc.) and Balkans (Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Albania, Hungary and Slovenia). The rest of Europe and North Africa entered on the second chance to join at the organization. There are some frontier countries that determinate the borders of ABU and can't organize the contest because of their remoteness to the European continent. They are:

* Morocco
* Algeria
* Tunisia
* Malta
* Libya
* Egypt
* Israel
* Jordan
* Lebanon
* Cyprus
* Syria
* Armenia
* Azerbaijan
* Georgia
* Kazakhstan
* Russia *(Not further east of the Urals)*
* Iceland

Also, there are some countries that can not host the contest due to financial and estructural problems. They are the European microstates of Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta Monaco and San Marino. If they ever win, the contest will move to one of the nearest countries.

Since ASC21 and due to the big amount of countries that wanted to participate, the organization decided to remove Aland and Faroe from the possible participants list. At the same time, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales were unified in the United Kingdom. In that way, now the ABU is made of sixty countries.

### **Inclusion of Observer members**

On June 20th, it was announce that the union was expanding to twelve new members who became observer members of the organisation. They could also have the opportunity to compete on the main contest after winning the pre-qualifying round in groups of six. The winner of that round, will enter on the Big5 of the edition, as the sixth member.

PAL: The Dark Chronicles, Chapter 9 (Actual Appearance)

## Brief Description

Tenma is the Battle Leader of Papir City's Gym, known officially as the Papir Gym. Like the other Battle Gym Leaders, he does not have a type specialty. His Gym is usually the last to be challenged, as he is the most powerful Battle Gym Leader. His Gym is modelled after a post office.

Before the trainer begins a battle with him, they will be told some information about his team, and may switch one of the Pokémon they have with them with one of the Pokémon used by Tenma. He gives the third part of the Flame Symbol to Trainers who defeat him.

He is also a member of the Zodiac and acts as the foreman of the jury in trials.

## Appearance

Tenma has dark brown hair that has his fringe combed back to show his forehead in full view. Like the other Zodiacs, Tenma has black eyes. This trait is not unusual, as most people living in certain cities of the PAL Region have black eyes and either black or brown hair.

## Personality

Tenma Kudou is extremely reckless, usually going in head first without thinking of the dangers lying ahead until it is too late. Often locking horns with Mika & the others, he doesn't quite like being made the leader, but he accepts the role. Tenma cares a lot about his comrades as well as about the world he lives in, and deeply cares about his region as well. Despite frequently bickering with Mika, he is implied to have a crush on her.

He, like the other Zodiac members, sympathized with the Dragon Duo's fate and Amethyst's past, and usually did their best to cover this matter up from the public for her sake.

## Trivia

* His preferred weapon is a bow and arrow.
