Marshal D. Fitzgerald, famous author searching for inspiration

vs.

Ken Fukusaki, the teenager seeking vengeance against his father's killers

Intro
"Where is the host?"

Ken Fukusaki walked impatiently around the lobby, while Marshal wrote casually in his journal. "Impatient, rash, broody...I like this design. Do you mind if use you as a character?"

Fukusaki gave a humorless laugh. "Sure thing, boss. I want a hand in writing the dialogue, though."

The two men laughed, and a screen displayed the face of their now familiar host. "I've got to study for my finals. Just go fight  each other."

The two men awkwardly walked outside, where lumps of hail harshly landed in front of them.

Marshal D. Fitzgerald
Hailing from the Kalos Region, Marshal was born into a lower-middle class family with not much to their names. This left with aspirations to become something more than simple folk and he began to dedicate himself to the teachings of others. He particularly felt deeply passionate for reading and writing as they were often the most available ways to gain knowledge and practical skills from. He'd often read within the woods as a way to keep his mind at ease and near other creatures he hoped to have inspire him. During this period of time he'd also take up Pokemon training as a way to keep his mind at ease and held battling as a hobby of his alongside his reading and writing.

After finishing his schooling, he'd take writing on as a full time job and began writing short stories that brought him a steady flow of income until his first major story broke into the market. The Ballad Of Nights became extremely popular among readers and critics thus bringing Marshal to finally accomplishing his dream of becoming a major author, he'd continue the series before ultimately ending the series with its third installment. Ulysses is most passionate about battle and sees it as a way of life to achieve glory. Because of this he often sees eye to eye with Kaiser as a fellow dreamer for belief in greater glory. Focusing on the belief of bettering himself to achieve said dreams alongside his rival Kaiser despite one of his wishes is defeat him through combat. Most likely to be seen training and often seen as the biggest dreamer of the group.
