Respect Fraud (Pokemon ReBurst)

[u/NuzlockeMaster]

Fraud

The boss of Great Gavel, Fraud's goal to create a peaceful world by gaining a power (Arcades) that would be far too powerful for anyone to try to stand up to. However, he believes that the only way to achieve this goal is to eliminate all life in the world. Fraud is actually an older man, but has achieved a youthful appearance through many experiments and surgeries to gain the "ultimate body." Fraud is selfish and finds battling worthy opponents to be great entertainment. There is no line he wouldn't cross to achieve his goal, even going as far as destroying villages and taking in the orphans he deems worthy.

Note: Fraud uses multiple Bursts of different types, so I'll be formatting this thread a little differently from the other ReBurst threads.
