Arcturus Porter I/History

## Season 1

### Starting His Journey and Becoming a Hero

Arcturus first appears when he bumps into Victoria, telling her they're heading to the lab for their first Pokémon. The two encounter an orange-haired girl who is also very excited like them and drags them both to the lab. After getting there and finding out the Professor has to do some field work, Arcturus picks an Oshawott who he names Samu while Victoria chooses a Rowlet who she names Quilina. Kyubey, meanwhile, is following him and the other two due to sensing they are Chosen Ones (as she is employed by the Magic of Friendship to actively recruit the ones it has chosen). However, when Kyubey explains she's searching for Chosen Ones, all three of them dismiss it as a bad joke.

Later that day, Kyubey requests Arcturus and the two girls to make a contract with her. Kyubey tells the group that the God of Destruction will soon come to destroy the Multiverse, turning on Victoria's berserk button and resulting in her having to be stopped by Arcturus. However, the trio is suddenly interrupted when they notice the sky going dark and ghostly horse-like creatures swirling above the orphanage he used to live at. They rush to the orphanage and see an evil yellow-haired girl apparently controlling the horse-like creatures that seem to be feeding off the arguing of several kids in the orphanage. The girl introduces herself as Mirage and starts to strangle Kyubey. With no other option, Arcturus, Victoria, and Kiara form a contract with her and transform for the first time. The kids who are arguing are shocked and get told to stop fighting by Victoria (only for the new Guardians to nearly get blasted by Mirage). The kids realize their fighting is feeding them and stop, allowing the trio to destroy them with their attacks and forcing Mirage to flee. Afterwards, the kids thank the Guardians and Kyubey says she's very proud of them.

### Recuriting More Members

In GoH003, the group is having a great time exploring Galar, but Victoria and her friends suddenly notice a girl handling an injured Eevee with her Gardevoir. The girl is singing a song that seems to calm them down quickly and even causes Victoria to get tired for a second. Kyubey says she might be a Chosen One and prompts them to introduce themselves. Victoria complies and nervously introduces herself as Victoria Daisy, Arcturus introduces himwelf as Arcturus Porter, while the girl in the blue dress introduces herself as Princess Ellis. Kiara tries to pet the injured Eevee, only to get slapped and told to back off. Ellis angrily tells her that she may be peaceful and sing songs, but she gets furious if anyone tries to pet her Pokémon while they are injured.

The Guardians then teleport to Shugayamazia in Johto, and see a red-haired girl with a lollipop Harmony Mark walking down the street with a jar of Combee honey in hand. Suddenly, she bumps into Kiara, causing her to spill her honey, break the jar, and start crying. The girl immaturely blames Kiara for everything, calls the Guardians "meanies" even though it was an accident, and runs off while crying, but Kyubey says she's the one they're looking for, so the Guardians and Ellis follow her.

Victoria tries to reason with her, but she continues crying and says the trio caused her to lose her honey she had bought, and Jenna snaps at them. While they argue and Ellis tries to calm her, Mirage, meanwhile, summons a bunch of Windigos to take advantage of the situation. Ellis is horrified and Joy screams when they see the ghost-like creatures and the evil girl, and Victoria quickly transforms along with her teammates. Mirage says she won't let any more Guardians awaken, which confuses the two of them. Joy demands that the evil girl "quit being such a baddie," but she just laughs off her childish demand and Ellis reminds Joy that that isn't going to work. Kyubey tells the two they are Chosen Ones and asks them to make a contract so they can help fight. While agreeing, Ellis states a wish: "I want to make sure nobody steals my Radiance! That Gardevoir is very special to me!" Kyubey admits that while she's not like her Madoka Magica counterpart, the wish (especially since she knows stealing is a bad thing). At that moment, the Power Necklaces of Ellis and Joy grant them their Harmony Gems, one for each, allowing the duo to transform.

The Guardians revert to normal and Victoria confirms that Ellis and Joy are defiantly Chosen Ones. A bit later, everyone including Ellis is shown covering their ears from her obnoxiously singing about how she's a Guardian with ice powers, and then Jenna joins in, much to their annoyance. Ellis and Joy then agree to join the Mutliversal Guardians as a sub-division of the Galaxy Team, but the latter has to be reminded to not piss the Commander off.

The next episode, Arcturus, Victoria, Kiara, Ellis, and Joy are wondering about the location of the next Chosen One and ask Kyubey. Kyubey says there are two she senses at the moment, and one is near Waterfall City. Victoria decides to head there and the whole group teleports to the first location.

After teleporting, the group sees the redhead girl with green eyes being attacked by a Nidoking, and Victoria furiously uses Daisy Punch to save them. Victoria asks why she isn't in her kingdom, but Emilia tearfully says her mother sent her and Scarlet away because of Skull taking it over. She says she has no idea where to stay at all. Arcturus tells her that since she's a Pokémon Trainer, she could travel with them for the time being.

The Guardians and Emilia suddenly see smoke and flames coming from a forest nearby and rush over. Arcturus recklessly runs into the "fire" (knowing he's invulnerable but not knowing it's an illusion, and much to Victoria's horrror) to go save anycreature trapped inside. When he touches the flames, however, the entire illusion dissipates, revealing the fire to be an illusion.

Liam and Chaz get out of the forest and realize their arguing was pointless, and the Guardians express relief but say their arguing fueled the Windigos. Mirage boasts about how she tricked them with her extremely elaborate illusion powers, leaving Liam furious that he was fooled and tricked into arguing for no reason while Emilia says that's wrong (only for Mirage to tell her to stop spouting nonsense and call her a "kicked out princess," much to her anger). Kyubey shouts that they need to make a contract, and after much condseriation, Emilia and Liam agree. At that moment, their Power Necklaces grant them their Harmony Gems, one for each, allowing the duo to transform. Curious, Liam tests his new powers and ends up shooting an arrow made of light and flames (much to everyone's shock). Emilia tests out her new powers, and instead of some cute Eevee-like powers she expected to get due to her costume design, she summons several vicious giant man-eating plants that end up eating several of the Windigos. Mirage uses her staff and shoots a ray of dark magic, but Liam counters with a glowing arrow while Emilia covers the ground with hungry venus flytraps. She creates more Windigos to swarm them, overhwleming the Guardians, and creates a powerful earthquake with dark magic to startle them, only for the ghostly creatures to punched with Victoria's Daisy Punch at the last second. Joy distracts them with a scoop of tasty ice cream and then blasts them with a bolt of ice when their guard is down. At that moment, Emilia summons an enormous man-eating plant that nearly devours Mirage, forcing her to flee.

The Guardians return to normal offscreen, and Emilia is starting to legitimately enjoy traveling with Victoria and friends to take her mind off her home. Liam, on the other hand, says that he realizes that it's pointless to argue over something that you aren't responsible for and both of them then agree to join the Multiversal Guardians as part of the Galaxy Team.

After the present-day heroes notice fighting, they see Victoria as an apparition, and Arcturus ends up meeting his former wife again and Melody meets her mother for the first time. As a result of this, Arcturus istouched and starts to slowly regain bis past personality.

He doesn't get revived after the battle.

In the first part, a 15 year-old Arcturus notices an evil, older version of himself kidnapping Melody, forcing him and 15 year-old Victoria to save her. As a result, they end up through a time portal to modern times and have to help the present-day heroes, though he is initially extremely terrified after arriving in the modern setting, seeing what he describes as "carriages with no Rapidash to pull them" (cars), "immodest garments" (people not wearing long-sleeved robes, and "touch-boxes" (phones).
