The Arena was used to the odd and strange contestants, those who looked like they had no business here, but a tiny little girl? And one who didn't even look like she had overt strength or powers! Despite the Arena not having quite as many people as expected, the girl was looking about expectingly, smiling as this was the biggest crowd she ever spoke to!

"Hello everyone!" She beamed upwards, "I'm Alma, and this is Tophy!" A gleaming medal was thrown in the air, and with a blinding flash, was replaced by an absolutely enormous snake, blank eyes looking over the crowd. It didn't look friendly, but wrapped around Alma in a protective manner...not unfriendly, just overprotective, it seemed. "They're a Vivasaur! And some bad guys have gotten them, so I want to show what they look like. They're strong, but they're good, I don't want the bad guys, the ones making the people here scared, to get them, and they already do!" For such a small child, she looked incredibly determined, "Please tell if you see someone using a Vivasaurs for bad, they have lots of powers!

She shyly looked up, a little sheepish. "Can Tophy and I have a match, just to show these powers? Just for a little while!"

Eventually, someone would arrive to fulfill her request. Standing at 4'0'' exactly, another small girl entered the field to the tune of the announcer introducing them. "Joining our new heroine and her danger noodle on the field is a spiritual leader and a divinist from within the Sphere, Feli! I don't think I've ever seen her in the stadium before, so this makes two newcomers if I'm not mistaken!" the announcer, Blue, remarked.

"...A serpent in a vision represents change and growth. As it sheds its skin and starts anew, so do you."

Feli paused for a moment, opening her eyes and giving Alma a somewhat unamused look.

"...A giant serpent in the real world, however, represents a threat of becoming lunch. Haven't you ever heard little girls are their favorite snacks?? From snakes to dragons... This is fate."

It seemed Feli had arrived to remark about how absurd she found Alma's choice of partner, standing there at the ready for Alma and her partner to attack her.
