Name: Stellen "Steel Jaws" Howlin
Hometown: Old Ferrum Town (Ferrum)
Specialist Type: Steel
A mysterious individual known for his distinctive Lycan Mask, we probably would've stopped this guy from entering if it weren't for his brother intervening and vouching for him... and reworking all the false details he gave us to actually be correct. We get some strange ones, don't we- anyway, this individual was once we termed a facilitator, whether it be serving as a little extra muscle with his team or tracking down rare relics and Pokémon, though his brother assures us he's moved on from that now, and is focused on the Pokémon World Tournament.
Specialising in the Steel-type, Stellen leads with his flying trickster, Silvaeon. Manipulating foes with tricky moves such as Spikes and gust, it constantly infuriates opponents, and delights in it. Meanwhile his Galarian Stunfisk buries itself beneath the ground to catch foes off guarded, Camouflaging to mask its type. His Steel Jaw Lycanroc is a bruiser. striking with brutal steel and dark type attacks, while his Perserrker flattens foes with furious slashes, bolstered by its Tough Claws abilities. His Kingambit is a patient warrior, often waiting for the most opportune to strike while increasing its power with Swords Dances. And finally Steelen's Mawile makes sure everyone fears its massive jaws, especially when it Mega Evolves.
As for his Freeform team, it's very clear has a Stellen still has a motif. His Thievul may be a decently strong Pokémon, but it's real calling as a pickpocket. We won't ask what it did with this skill, just check your pockets. His Houndstone masters punishing moves such as Poltergeist and Last Respects, while his Arcanine dominates with immense Fire Blasts and rushing around with Extreme Speed. His Manectric is a walking generating, firing off immense electric attacks, while his Mimikyu strikes with both dark and fairy attacks... and looks kinda adorable in it custom-made costume. And closing out, his Mega Houndoom thrives by create an intense heat around it, before unleashing an unstoppable inferno. What we can we say, he's a dog person.
Stellen's motives for joining the Pokémon World Tournament still remain a mystery. Is he playing his cards straight as his brother says, or is he playing a completely game? One thing's become apparent, he's dedicated to it, as he's been training his team hard, even finding some willing shmucks- erm, new friends to spar with including Xander Hoff and Mick Fir, and he even rejected the advances of Team Decept, looking to hire him. I just hope we don't regret letting him join.
