Justin's Walrein is a /-Type Pokemon, the fourth Pokemon Justin caught in the Hoenn Region, and his sixteenth overall.
==Biography==
===Grand Conquest===
Walrein was introduced in Playing in the Snow and Shoal! as a playful Spheal among several other of his species. Spheal played with Justin's Pokemon, especially Eevee. Spheal inadvertently drew Eevee to an Ice Rock, which triggered Eevee's evolution into Glaceon, but Justin stopped his evolution with an Everstone. Due to the trouble Spheal accidentally caused, Justin caught Spheal.
Spheal immediately began training in Mega Passion in Icy Cold! where he proved immature and inexperienced, crying after taking an Iron Tail from Eevee. Spheal's cry altered and drew in Elite Four Glacia and her Glalie.
Justin continued Spheal's training on Maisie Island between On Fumes and Vileplume! and Luck of the Assist! as Rachel was competing for her fourth ribbon. Spheal stopped crying after taking attacking and grew to become a fiercer battler with the occasional happy clapping after using a successful attack.
In The Artist of Sootopolis City!, Justin, Rachel, Marshtomp, and Spheal were invited to perform alongside Juan during one of his weekend water shows. During the performance, Spheal used a dazzling Aurora Beam with Juan's Sealeo within a Hail to produce and Aurora Borealis effect. Spheal grew so happy from his own appeal he clapped joyously and glowed, evolving into a Sealeo. Afterward, Juan wished to train Sealeo and Marshtomp after his gym battle against Justin.
In Eighth and Final Glory!, Sealeo was Justin's fourth Pokemon during the second half of his five-on-five gym battle against Juan. Sealeo faced Juan's Luvdisc and was immediately afflicted by Luvdisc's Sweet Kiss-Attract combination. Sealeo was then siphoned of energy via Draining Kiss, but Sealeo was not bothered due to its species' high vitality. He slowly responded to some of Justin's commands and ultimately flattened Luvdisc with Body Slam to win the round. Sealeo then battled Crawdaunt, who immediately defeated Sealeo with Guillotine, a OHKO attack.
After the gym battle, Juan mentored Justin and Rachel in training Sealeo and Marshtomp as promised. The training took place in Rigorous Swimming Lessons! and lasted a week. Passionate and strict, Juan pushed Rachel and Justin to perfecting their Pokemon's skills. Without Justin's consent, Juan registered him and Sealeo in the Sootopolis Contest though Justin acquiesced when Sealeo agreed to perform.
The contest took place in When Student and Mentor Collide!. Sealeo summoned a Hail and produced balls of ice. He struck the ice at particular angles to have them bounce off each other and strike Sealeo, causing him to shine the shade of a rainbow aurora for a magnificent performance that placed him and Justin in the battle rounds. Sealeo then advanced Justin to the finals, where they faced Rachel and Marshtomp.
At the start of the final, Marshtomp seemingly dominated the battle without losing a point, but Justin and Sealeo were setting the stage for their combination of Ice Ball and Aurora Beam to strike Marshtomp and turning Marshtomp's own mud field against him. Sealeo almost sealed Justin's victory with an enhanced Body Slam, but Marshtomp narrowly countered with Rock Smash and Mirror Coat, which lost Justin the final by one point. Sealeo was saddened by defeat, but Justin believed he was excellent.
During the Ever Grande Conference, Sealeo debuted during the third and Double Battle round. He teamed with Plusle in Slamming the Competition!. The pair faced a Rhydon and Vibrava who easily picked off Plusle, forcing Sealeo to battle alone. Sealeo was still confident in his abilities and used Hail to gain an advantage. He defeated both Pokemon, and the experience from the battle caused Sealeo to evolve into Walrein.
Walrein later Justin's third choice during his quarterfinal battle against Andrew between A Full Battle of Wills! and Tactical Evolution. Walrein faced Electrode despite the disadvantage. He used his large belly to absorb Rollout attacks slow down Electrode with a Hail-enhanced Blizzard. Walrein then battled Armaldo but was too tired to put up much of a fight and was defeated.
Justin ultimately advanced to the finals and faced Connor between The Cream of the Cream of Hoenn and Coronation into the Hoenn Hall of Fame!. During the battle, Walrein battle second to face Froslass in the Hail she summoned. Froslass burned Walrein with Will-o-Wisp and was recalled. Walrein then battled Machamp was was overwhelmed by burn and Machamp's super-effective attacks, knocking him out.
Following the tournament, Justin began a six-month training regimen to prepare to face the Hoenn Elite Four.
==Personality and Characteristics==
As the Clap Pokemon, when Sealeo was introduced, he responded to almost every occasion with clapping especially when happy. Spheal maintained these attributes even as a Sealeo after winning a battle or landing a successful attack. Upon evolution, Sealeo enjoys balancing objects on his nose to examine them.
Walrein is notably Justin's bulkiest and most immobile Pokemon, so he uses blubbery body to absorb and endure attacks while wearing down his opponents before retaliating in a blend of defense and power. Justin often has Sealeo use Hail in conjunction with his Ice Body to heal from damage taken.
