Super Pedro Green

Green Apocalypse-He can release his aura to destroy a whole planet and every life form on it.Even if he steps to fight can't be killed since he technically rewrites destiny.God forms can destroy and stop the aura.People like Super Pedro 2 can't even come close to SG Pedro.
Tekking

Tekking is really strong.He is able to erase people that are bellow Super form of 40%.He is able to withstand a cero capable of destroying a whole solar system.He is really fast, around trice speed of sound.He is so strong, one of his hits equals being hit by 566 895 321434 tons.Here are some attacks he has.

Small Blast-He can fire a small blast at someone

Planetary Beam-Planetary beam is a basic energy beam that allows him to destroy a whole planet.

Planetary shuriken-He can throw a massive energy attack capable of destroying 6 planets the size of Jupiter.
Ability

There are six different abilities.

* Charge

Charge your sumotori to shot yourself out on release. Your sumotori dashes forward causing knockback to all enemies hit.
The longer you hold down charge the stronger the dash. When the top left bar (charge meter) is fully red you are at your power limit.

Charge meter:

* Dodge

Dodge makes you transparent and invulnerable to environmental and enemy mass. Dodge does not take effect immediately upon use. If you get hit during this brief time you will perform dodge whilst taking knockback. This makes you go through sumotoris and obstacles.

* Counter

When under the counter ability, enemies hitting you will get sent back with about the same power. Counter does not take effect immediately upon use. If you get hit during this brief time you will perform counter while taking knockback. This makes you function as a bowling ball pushing enemies in your path.

* Walk

You can walk around.

* Run

With run you move faster than walk. Running also has more power. This can be seen when a sumotori runs at a sumotori who is walking at them. The walking sumotori will get pushed back because running is stronger. When you run towards a sumotori who charged at you, you will take less knockback, it helps if you are running aligned towards the sumotori. When running and getting hit by a sumotori you can still use charge whilst taking the knockback.

* Run-charge

When running and then using charge you run-charge. You go in a straight line when doing this only affected by the environment and sumotoris. You can either use the charge or cancel the run.

Great Waterton

**Great Waterton** is an old town, situated deep in the forests north of the Skarloey Railway. Once the main town and rail hub of Sodor, Great Waterton was abandoned, but was rediscovered by Thomas and restored to its former glory.

## Great Waterton

### Location

Great Waterton, Island of Sodor

<

## History

Great Waterton received its name from the water works in the town, which supplied water to all the towns of Sodor. When the first steam engines came to work on Sodor, they lived in this town. The town was served by Sodor Tramways, which supplied the coal and water to the town and waterworks. Over time, the waterworks and tramway were closed, and people began moving to the other towns of Sodor.

Great Waterton was left abandoned and largely forgotten about by the people of Sodor, until Thomas discovered the town when he was trying to take a shortcut to the Wharf. To celebrate Sodor Day, Sir Topham Hatt decided to have the town restored. All the engines of Sodor and the Sodor Construction Company helped with the reconstruction of the town, and by Sodor Day, the town was restored and reopened to the public. The tramway also came back into business, operated by Flora.

The town has a water wheel on display, which was brought to the town by Edward. The Sodor Construction Company also helped to erect a bandstand, which is located in a park behind the town.

## Places in Great Waterton

* Great Waterton Station, the railway station for the town. The station has two platforms, one shorter than the other, a green footbridge and a small station building.
* Great Waterton Sheds, the engine sheds where the first engines of Sodor used to rest. The shed was restored for Thomas, who was staying in the town during the reconstruction of the town.
* Stanley's Shed, a single road fully enclosed engine shed built closer to the station.
* The Water Works, which supplies water for the town and other places on Sodor. The water works has several buildings which house the steam engines that pump the water, and a huge standpipe.
* Waterton Butcher's
* P.L. Groceries
* Timothy's Tailors
* Sodor Sweets supplied by Sodor Sweet Factory.
* Reeves & Tola Cycleshop
* Ben's Books
* Waterton Post Office
* Ed's Garage

## Trivia

* The set for Great Waterton used for the model series is now on display at Drayton Manor.
* Three of the buildings in the town are based on buildings from the Beamish Museum in County Durham, England (Waterton Butcher's, P.L. Groceries and Reeves & Tola Cycleshop).
Sumotori

There are 12 sumotoris (sumo wrestlers) with different stats. They are obtained through the 2000 MON takarabako. Getting a duplicate will give 30 RYO.
Each week, starting on Monday six different sumotoris are found in the random sumotori selection + the ones you own.

* Sprint is the charge starting strength
* Power is the charge maximum strength.
* Accel is the loading speed from starting strengh to maximum strength.
* XXLarge is a 10% bigger sumotori than XLarge. Large is a 10% smaller sumotori than XLarge.

Premium Engines

**Premium Engines** is the first episode of the Second Season. It follows The Diesel's boasting and accident when collecting his own coaches.

## Premium Engines

### Director

Leland Nitzel

<

## Plot

After taking a rest from shunting, Duck is unpleasantly greeted by an old foe - The Diesel. The Diesel puts Duck down for shunting, explaining that you’d never see a “premium engine” like himself sitting in yards and doing such light work. Duck is offended by this.

The Diesel picks up the slack on the railway, pulling goods and even Gordon’s express. He wins the passengers over, much to the other engine’s dismay.

One morning, The Diesel waits impatient for his train to be arranged. The stationmaster tells him that no tank engines are available and he’ll have to fetch his own coaches. The Diesel reluctantly agrees. After troubling navigation, The Diesel finds his coaches. He backs down quickly, and smashes both them and himself off the rails.

The Diesel is met with disapproval from his driver and the yard foreman, who tells him he’ll have to wait for the breakdown crane. Other engines pass him during the day, laughing at the sight of such a cocky engine off the rails. The Diesel feels embarrassed.

Duck comes to The Diesel’s rescue in the evening. He is surprised to see such a “premium engine” sitting in a yard.

That night the Fat Controller scolds The Diesel for his arrogance. Next day, he is seen off by the steam engines. Duck cheekily encourages him to learn to be a “premium engine”. The Diesel can’t help but take these words to heart as he leaves Sodor a sadder and beaten engine.

Ode To Gordon

**Ode to Gordon**, also known as **Gordon**, is a song from the third series dedicated to Gordon.

## Ode To Gordon

### Composer(s)

* Ed Welch
* Leland Nitzel (Arranger)

## Lyrics

We'll sing a song for Gordon.
He's big, he's fast, he's proud.
His paint is blue, so strong and true
And his whistle's really loud!
The fastest train on Sodor.
You can't forget his name.
So when we've sung for Gordon, well
Let's sing it once again.
Through wind and rain he thunders on.
On him we can rely.
Reliable and useful too
And that's the reason why.
We'll sing a song for Gordon.
He's big, he's fast, he's proud.
His paint is blue, so strong and true
And his whistle's really loud!
The fastest train on Sodor.
You can't forget his name.
So when we've sung for Gordon, well
Let's sing it once again.
The journeys never tire him out.
He'll work all day and night.
And everyone admires him
His boiler gleaming bright.
We'll sing a song for Gordon.
He's big, he's fast, he's proud.
His paint is blue, so strong and true
And his whistle's really loud!
The fastest train on Sodor.
You can't forget his name.
So when we've sung for Gordon, well
Let's sing it once again.
We'll sing a song for Gordon.
He's big, he's fast, he's proud.
His paint is blue, so strong and true
And his whistle's really loud!
The fastest train on Sodor.
You can't forget his name.
So when we've sung for Gordon, well
Let's sing it once again.

Tournament history

There have been four community tournaments.

* Spring 2020

In March 2020, the first tournament of Circle of Sumo was created. In total, 48 players of all ranks participated. The tournament followed the single-elimination format and was best-of-3 up until the Quarter-finals, where it became best-of-5.

The ranking goes as followed:

First place: Thicc

Second place: Shang

Third place: GearsW

Fourth place: Big Chungus Enthusiast

In the semi-finals, Shang won against Big Chungus Enthusiast with a score of 3-0, while Thicc won against GearsW with a score of 3-1.

In the finals, Thicc won against Shang 3-0 even though Shang was the favorite to win the tournament. On this day, Thicc was crowned the King of Circle of Sumo as the first player to win an official tournament.

The tournament was organized by Mauss & Tekeden and all the matches were streamed by Giulio and Pietro from Strelka Games.

Text by Tekeden

Steam news

* Summer 2020

The second Circle of sumo tournament. 13 players battling it out for the honor and money to be gained.
Over six weeks the contestants played 1 game per week in the swiss format.
After 5 weeks Giga stood on top with 27 points. With Shang and Thicc standing at 24 points there had to be a semifinal.
Shang won the semifinal with 6-3 and later on destroyed Giga with 6-0. Leaving Shang as the Circle of sumo champion.
Unfortunately, the streamers could not stream it. Other than that the circle of sumo 2020 summer tournament was a success!

 The image does not include semi-finals and finals.

Steam news

* Fall 2020

No documentation has been made.

* Winter 2020

The participants battled it out and only eight remained left in round three where the streaming began. Thanks, Pietro and Googlio for streaming the epic battles. The Thicc vs PadAndPit match was very unexpected. Thicc the former champion was thought to destroy PadAndPit who was a very inexperienced player but it seems like coaching from Mauss and Tekeden bred a monster who almost won. The unexpectedness in the closeness of the match was probably also because Thicc was making a lot more mistakes than usual, people from the internet speculated that he drank too much coffee before the tournament.
The rest of the matches in round 3 were all 3-0s, sadly Yek a first-class pro player had an emergency and could not play his match. Semifinals: Top Tek did alright against Thicc in the beginning but later on got rekt.
Jerden almost won against Shang. In the first round, Shang continued to use Night hunter which worked great against Tekeden in round 3; however, against Jerden, it did not go well so Shang switched back to Coral Blade where Shang continued to struggle and got into a 1-2 situation. But Shang managed to get out of this hole and win his semifinals. Finals: Shang triumphed over Thicc with a 5-0 using Night Hunter possibly changing the meta of Coral Blade who everyone "except" Shang used from round three to the finals.

### Music Theme

* James' Theme
* James The Really Splendid Engine

## Personality

James is very proud of his splendid red paintwork. He dislikes pulling trucks and believes that he should only pull coaches. He is so self-centered that he thinks himself superior to the others and can be shallow, boastful, overconfident, arrogant, prideful, naughty and vain, particularly to those who appear old-fashioned, weak, slow or dirty. He has a good heart, and can think through situations when others can't.

## Technical Details

### Basis

James is based on a Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) Class 28, a class of 0-6-0 mixed-traffic tender locomotive designed by George Hughes for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and built by Horwich Works between 1909 and 1912. It was a rebuild of Aspinall's Class 27, with the addition of a Belpaire firebox, a Schmidt/"twin-plug" superheater and the extension of the footplate and sandboxes re-mounted to underneath the footplate. One Class 27, 52322, survives and is operational at the Ribble Steam Railway.

Percy The Small Engine is overworked, so Sir Topham Hatt seeks out an engine who would be available and willing to pull Percy's morning quarry trains for a while. He chooses Salty for the task, and the dockyard diesel is happy for the break. But James, who has a distaste towards diesels, is upset with Salty and hatches a plan to get him to stop taking the trains. He is able to convince Salty that Percy is upset that his work has been taken over, and after being fooled, one day Salty gives the train to Thomas. However, Salty leaves without telling Thomas where the trucks need to go, as the stone is needed at different areas on the Island. As Thomas wanders the rails with his trucks, Salty comes speeding along the line, and before either engine can stop, Salty crashes into Thomas. When James, Sir Topham Hatt and the breakdown train arrive, Sir Topham Hatt is very cross with Salty and Thomas, but James tells Sir Topham what he did to trick Salty. Sir Topham sends Salty to be repaired and keeps him working with Percy on the quarry trains, while punishing James for telling lies.

## Lyrics

When I'm with you,
We rock and we roll.
You make me happy,
You make me bold.
Nothing is hard,
'Cause I'm feeling safe.
This is our song,
Our Tale of the Brave.
Good friends will stay,
Right by your side.
Tell you the truth and not tell you a lie.
Talk with you, play with you,
Always be fair.
Just be someone who cares.
When I'm with you,
We rock and we roll.
You make me happy,
You make me bold.
Nothing is hard,
'Cause I'm feeling safe.
This is our song,
Our Tale of the Brave.
I can do anything,
When you are here.
Walk through the darkness,
And feel no fear.
Buffer to buffer,
And wheel by wheel
Best of friends,
That's how I feel.
When I'm with you,
We rock and we roll.
You make me happy,
You make me bold.
Nothing is hard,
'Cause I'm feeling safe.
This is our song,
Our Tale of the Brave.
When I'm with you,
We rock and we roll.
You make me happy,
You make me bold.
Nothing is hard,
'Cause I'm feeling safe.
This is our song,
Our Tale of the Brave.
This is our song,
Our Tale of the Brave.

Madison

**Madison** was a contestant on Season 3 - Survivor.

## Survivor

Madison entered the game as one of the 20 players competing for the title and one of the 10 original Brookesia members. Madison spent her first few days laying low, so low that when her tribe lost the second immunity challenge, her name was one of the possibilities to leave. However, the rest of the tribe set their sights on the even more inactive Cloud, and Madison was spared. At the first swap, Madison stayed on Brookesia along with three of her other tribe members. Despite these numbers, Madison's inactivity made her a target for members from both tribes, but a win streak kept her safe to the next swap. Not much changed when she swapped to Furcifer, as two more immunity wins kept her safe to the merge. Once the merge hit, everyone was looking for an easy first vote. Despite an impressive campaign against fellow inactive Lovelis, Madison's lack of strong, early connections left her without allies to help her campaign and she was voted out 10-2 becoming the first juror. At the Final Tribal Council, she went along with the other jurors and voted for Jones as part of the first unanimous jury vote in the series.
