Leon

Leon

**Leon** (レオン, *Reon*?) is a minor character in the anime series *Sonic X*. He resided on the now-devastated planet of Cascade and used to be a trusted ally of Molly, working under her as a fighter pilot.

## History

### Anime

#### Metarex Saga

Leon and the rest of his team betrayed Molly and made a pact with the Metarex with the promise that if they were to deliver Doctor Eggman to Pale Bayleaf, then the Metarex would allow them to join them, so they could be spared. Knowing that she wouldn't go along with his plan, Leon had put files in the rebellion's base and asked Molly to return there to pick them up, knowing they were set to explode.

After failing to deliver Eggman to the Metarex, they broke off their deal and attacked the rebellion. While Leon was stunned and devastated at the Metarex betrayal, he saw Molly fighting the Metarex and told her to flee. In the Japanese version of episode 68, he and his team watched in horror as she was killed by the Metarex.

After Molly's death, Leon worked for Pale Bayleaf. This gave him the task of handing Pale Bayleaf the Chaos Emerald. The Emerald, however, was fake (Which Leon did not know). As a result of this, Leon lead the wrath of Pale Bayleaf on himself and the resistance fighters. Leon was eventually captured in episode 72, along with his teammates. Pale Bayleaf locked each one into a tree, then they were consumed by a tree and died, but not before giving Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat information on the Metarex and their plans. Before Leon died, he knew that Molly was right all along (after she left in the English version).

## Quotes

"*Metarex... They fooled us all. They told us, we could be one of them... but they lied...*"

Mongroun

**Mongroun** (モングラアン, *Monguraan*?) is a character that appears in the *Sonic X* anime series. It is an ancient robot created by the Murasia civilization and the guardian of the underground continent of Murashia.

## History

Following Murashia's fall into the underground, the Mongroun ended up hidden among the lava tunnels where it remained disabled for an unprecedented amount of time. In the present however, several earthquakes from volcanic activity caused the Mongroun to reactivate and it attacked Sonic and his allies as they fought Dr. Eggman in Murashia. Despite their efforts, Sonic, Knuckles, Rouge and the X-Tornado were unable to defeat the Mongroun. However, Sonic made it swallow a bomb, which detonated within the Mongroun and destroyed it.

## Powers and abilities

The Mongroun was an incredibly strong robot, so powerful that even the combined efforts from Sonic, Rouge and Knuckles were not enough to beat and could only slow it down at best.

The Mogroun is incredibly durable, not receiving even a scratch from Rouge's Screw Kick, the X-Tornado's armaments or Sonic's Ring-enhanced Spin Attack and only got a dent from Knuckles' punches. Due to its size, it had high physical strength, capable of toppling buildings with a single strike and knock away Sonic while in a Spin Attack. It also possessed a powerful fire breath.

## Trivia

* Mongroun is an obvious reference to the fictional kaiju monster Moguera from the Japanese film company Toho.

Earthia

Earthia

**Earthia** (アーシア, *Āshia*?) is a character from the anime series *Sonic X*. She is the mother of Cosmo and Galaxina and wife of Lucas, the latter who would become known as Dark Oak.

## Appearance

At the age of thirty-five, Earthia was a humanoid plant-like alien with pale peach skin, and powder blue eyes with one long eyelash on each one. She possessed long pale cyan hair with bangs and a large white flower with yellow center and two long sepals on top of her head. For attire, she wears a white petal-like dress with few light green oval spots and tips, a white kimono-sleeved coat with a yellow trim at the bottom and cuffs, white tights, pale cyan ballet flats and a red amulet.

## History

### Anime

Long ago, Earthia came into conflict when her husband, Lucas wanted to stay and continue fighting on their planet, despite losing a war against an unknown enemy. Earthia wanted to leave, feeling far too many males have already died, and more continued to die wasting their lives on a hopeless struggle. However, being a warrior himself, Lucas refused to leave and alongside the majority of males in his race, they stayed behind to fight rather than leave. Ultimately deeming Lucas and his supporters mad, Earthia chose to take with her the entire female population of her species and abandon the planet. Before leaving, Earthia came across Lucas trying to harness the energy of the very Planet Egg of their own planet and was horrified to see him sacrifice so much for this meaningless fight. Living together with her family and fellow females, eventually Earthia took on a form of a giant tree and would end up giving birth to her last child, Cosmo. As she grew weaker, Earthia was ultimately killed when her husband, now taking on the identity of Dark Oak found her ship and attacked and killed everyone on board, except for Cosmo.

She later appears in a holographic image on the abandoned Green Planet that Amy and Rouge discovered, displaying how the planet fell. At the final moment of the forestation project, Earthia appears to Cosmo and tells her what to do, and suddenly, Cosmo's amulet shatters. Her last appearance is when Dark Oak has been defeated; suddenly a light (which is Earthia) appears to him and says that they have a second chance before disappearing with him in a flash of light.

## Powers and abilities

Earthia can produce healing seeds and can control other plants. She can also create force fields by using the orb attached to her chest, which are invulnerable to harm. Lastly, she has the ability to levitate.

Elven Kingdom

Republic of Ghinswaa'ӧl

Ulrich von Traansvaakyn

The **Elven Kingdom** is a sovereignty in Northern Arzodium. The mainland of the kingdom is bordered by the Wynterwyld to the west and north, the Human Crown and the Asyrun Barrens to the east, and the Arzodian Ocean to the south. The island portion of the kingdom is bordered by Sorcerer's Glen to the south, and the Arzodian Ocean to the north. It is the oldest kingdom in Arzodium.

## Background

### Early History

The elves were the first race in Arzodium to document history, in approximately 5000 PG.

### The Elven Kingdom

The Elven Kingdom was formed in 2297 PG, by the joining of three ancient regions: the Dominion of Sykr’ӧz, the Melaal Province, and the Republic of Ghinswaa’ӧl.

## Society

The Elven Kingdom is largely populated by lower-middle class city-dwellers, however, there is also a strong rural prescence in northern communities. The nobility, known as the Elven Crown, holds most of the kingdom's wealth, and due to the power they hold, they have become corrupt.

## Structure

The Elven Kingdom operates using a royal hierarchy that holds control over external affairs, and a judicial system that presides over internal affairs. However, the royal hierarchy reserves the power to intervene in internal affairs.

### Royal Hierarchy

King or Queen - King Aelfric

Queen or Prince (if first in command is Queen) - Vacant

Representative of the Royal Guard -

Royal Advisory Staff - 13 members

## Relations with other sovereignties

### Tavaniri Empire and the Republic of Albia

These nations, which are commonly grouped together due to their close relations, are the only sovereignties the Elven Kingdom considerably engages with. The elves see the opening of the Underworld Gate as a serious threat, and thus attempt to make relations as friendly as possible. However, because of the Elven Kingdom's refusal to decolonize the Elysium Isles, relations with Albia are not as strong as they ideally could be.

### Human Crown

As the smallest nation in Eastern Arzodium, the Human Crown is often seen as useless in the eyes of the Elven Kingdom. Relations have become increasingly unfriendly.

## Military

The Royal Elven Guard is a fierce, well-trained military, consisting of two branches.

## Divisions

* Viceroyalty of the Elysium Isles - Governed by Viceroy Cornelius
	+ County of Brystø - Governed by Count Vincent
* Arch Duchy of Ghinswaa’ӧl - Governed by Arch Duke Antonius
* Grand Duchy of Sykr’ӧz - Governed by Grand Duke Reinhold
* Grand Principality of Røgkaan - Governed by Grand Prince
* Duchy of Gryn - Governed by Duchess Viola
* Principality of Melaal - Governed by Princess
* Mark of Nykraastøvee - Governed by Marquess Andreas
* County of Naa’ӧn - Governed by Count Lance
* Viscounty of  - Governed by Viscount
* Barony of - Governed by Baron
* Barony of - Governed by Baroness
* Barony of - Governed by Baron
* Barony of - Governed by Baron
* Barony of - Governed by Baroness

## Trivia

* The Elven Kingdom bears cultural similarities to Germanic language-speaking countries in Europe (Germany, Norway, Sweden, etc.)

## Plot

Everyone tries to stop Sonic's rampage in order to find out why he's doing it. Sonic reveals that the Egg Moon can't possibly block the sunlight all the time, because the Earth is rotating, the moon is rotating around the Earth, and the two are both revolving around the sun. If the Egg Moon had really stopped moving, the rotation would allow for sunlight most of the time; therefore, Eggman is lying and controlling the Egg Moon. Eggman takes the President hostage, but is thwarted when Sonic and co. show up to save him. The Egg Moon is taken out of Eggman's control by Knuckles, and Eggman is sent to jail with Decoe and Bocoe after falling for the decide of Sonic's.

## Dubbing Differences

* In the Japanese version, Chris narrates.
* In the Japanese version, Topaz suggests Rouge's strange behavior is because of a lack of sleep. In the English dub, Topaz suggests the sound of the helicopter blades are causing it.
* The script where Sonic reveals the stuff about the Eggmoon is changed in the dub.
* In the English dub, the scene where Tanaka said he always dreamed of being an astronaut is cut out.
* The questions and answers given to Eggman are different between the Japanese and English dub.

Pale Bayleaf's Battleship

**Pale Bayleaf's Battleship** (ペール・ベイリーフの戦艦, *Pēru Beirīfu no senkan*?) is a vessel that appears in the anime series *Sonic X*. It was the personal vessel of Pale Bayleaf, one of the four Metarex commanders loyal to Dark Oak.

## History

Pale Bayleaf joined a conference onboard his battleship via long-distance communication from it to consult fellow commanders Black Narcissus and Yellow Zelkova following the death of Red Pine. It also led the attack on the resistance forces that included Molly and Leon, and was damaged but not destroyed in battle with the crew of the Crimson Egg. It was also part of the fleet that joined the Metarex's Mother Ship in attacking the Blue Typhoon, and later hunted the latter vessel in an attempt to destroy Sonic and his teammates for good. However, this latter effort was thwarted by Dr. Eggman, an early sign of his plans to break off his alliance with the Metarex.
Earth

The **earth** (地 *chi*?), is the main planet and overall setting in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. The planet was originally unnamed except in other media, in which most early continuities instead took place on the fictional planet Mobius. With few exceptions, the planet's name in the games was never mentioned; however, games were generally assumed to take place on an Earth-like planet, with some locations based on real-world places. The English translators of *Sonic Adventure 2* opted for “earth”, which has been reused in many scripts afterwards.

In Sonic X, it is revealed that Sonic, his friends and Eggman originate in an alternate reality version of Earth. A long time ago, Sonic's world and Earth were once one, but a cataclysmic event split the planet into two and sent them to different dimensions. The flow of time in Sonic's world is considerably slower than on Earth, with one month in Sonic's world equaling an entire year on Earth.

When Sonic came to Earth, the two worlds began to merge into one once again, which would ultimately stop the flow of time completely, thus forcing Sonic and co. to return to their world.

## Trivia

* A common misconception is that Japanese materials have always explicitly named Sonic's planet Earth. However, virtually all instances of earth (地 *chi*?) really have multiple meanings (such as surface, ground, etc.), so a more accurate and less confusing translation would probably be "the planet" since the implication is that it suggests a life-sustaining home world. Japanese sources ultimately do not use the literal word Earth (地球 *Chikyū*?) to directly refer to the planet.
* *Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood* is the first and only game in the series so far to use the terms ‘earth’, ‘Sonic's world’ and ‘Sonic's *W*orld’.

However, thanks to the inventiveness of Christopher Thorndyke, Sonic was able to triumph over the Gillman forces and destroy them.
Hover Shoes

The Hover Shoes.

The **Hover Shoes** (ホバークラフトシューズ, *Hobākurafutoshūzu*?, lit. "Hovercraft Shoes") are objects that appear in the anime series *Sonic X*. It is a special pair of shoes created by Christopher Thorndyke for Sonic the Hedgehog to help him battle on water.

### Features and traits

As their name implies, the Hover Shoes produce powerful air streams from their jets which lets the wearer hover just above ground and water. This is especially advantageous for Sonic who is incapable of swimming, allowing him to combat foes in the water.

## History

### Anime

#### Metarex Saga

The Hover Shoes were created by Chris Thorndyke as a means of helping Sonic the Hedgehog in his adventures so as not to be a burden like in the past. Just as Sonic was falling into the sea on the flooded Planet Secco, Chris arrived in time to give the Hover Shoes to Sonic. With them, Sonic could defeat Metarex Gillmans and their boss in their home environment.Masake, Hiro (24 September 2005). "H2 Whoa". *Sonic X*. Season 3. Episode 55.

## Variants

### Unnamed hover shoes

Hover Shoes Varinat.PNG|Pre-activated

The soles of these shoes have three holes each that produce energy, and the heels are covered in white plating with a built-in jet engine on each of them for acceleration. Each shoe also has a thin yellow plate across their vamp.

```

While the Hover Shoes work on water, this unnamed variant enables Sonic to spin faster or hover inside a Ring Tunnel. When activated, the shoes' soles are enveloped in pink energy while their jet engines burst out blue waves of energy for exhaust.Masake, Hiro (29 October 2005). "Trick Sand". *Sonic X*. Season 3.

When he takes them off, Shadow can tap into his full strength, giving him a drastic boost in power, though at the risk of thoroughly over-exerting himself; in fact, without them, Shadow quickly tires out when fighting at just normal power.

The Limiters expand and contract to Shadow's will, allowing him to remove and put them on with more ease, although he can also remove them normally. The Limiter are connected to the red tongues on the black cuffs of Shadow's gloves; the red tongues disappear when the Limiters are removed, but regenerate when he puts them back on.

## History

### Anime

#### Shadow Saga

Seemingly given to Shadow the Hedgehog during his time on the Space Colony ARK, Shadow first removed his Limiters to boost his Chaos Control as Super Shadow so he and Super Sonic could sent the Space Colony ARK back into orbit. In the aftermath, Sonic could only find Shadow's Limiter which he gave to Chris who kept it as a memento of Shadow.

#### Metarex Saga

During the battles with the Metarex, Chris gave the Limiters back to Shadow so he would not lose consciousness in combat. Shadow would subsequently remove his Limiters several times to gain a power boost to combat enemy forces.

## Trivia

* When putting the limiters off, the Limiters light up with a transparent yellow aura in the Japanese version. However in the English version, the Limiters glow with a dark yellow.

Valentina Moreno

**Valentina Moreno** is an Albian military officer, who represents the Republic of Albia in the northern division of the Evenweld Pact.

## Early Life

Valentina was raised by an Albian politician and an Albian mage. During this time, one of her mothers disappeared suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving her other mother distraught and, as time went on, distant. When Valentina decided to seek her own path in life, she joined the Albian military in the hopes she could search for her missing mother. Her travels proved fruitless, as she never left the boundaries of the Albian Republic.

Eventually promoted for showing exemplary leadership, Valentina was transferred to the Albian Republic's Evenweld Pact divisions. She was specifically tasked as a liaison officer for Tanveria Darzi's command. Their relationship began unsteadily, as the inclusive Albian theology clashed with the prejudiced theology of a Tavanirian. Their relationship eventually grew to something more as they both came to understand the other's viewpoint and grew fond of each other to the point of developing mutual romantic and physical attraction. Valentina would confess her affections first, to which Tanveria would accept and reciprocate them.

## Abilities

As an officer of the Albian military, Valentina is adept in the use of the sword and possesses some understanding of strategic and tactical considerations. She understands that Tanveria is more knowledgeable in both subjects, and would never deny the fact.
