Appearance

Maul, unlike most Alakazam, uses a pair of forks instead of spoons to focus his psychic abilities. He has a large scar across his chest after Edge slashed him with a Guillotine and almost killed him.

Personality

Maul's personality is almost impossible to gauge, as he almost never speaks. When he does communicate, it is in cryptic half-sentences or blunt statements. He questions Herbert's decisions at almost every turn, but always follows orders.

Abilities In Battle

Maul shows little variation in his battle tactics, usually attempting to confuse his enemy before bombarding them with multiple Psychic attacks. He enjoys spamming Teleport to annoy his opponents and evade their strikes.

Known Moves:

• Confusion, Psybeam, Psychic, Teleport
• Shadow Ball

History

Maul was hatched by Herbert's father, and given to him as a present on his tenth birthday. He has accompanied Herbert on his adventures across Orre, Kanto, Almia, and Unova, as well as serving as a mainstay of his team during his Sinnoh journeys. He evolved into an Alakazam after a trade with Alice in Mistralton City.

Maul encountered Edge on Route 9, after the Bisharp had been able to incapacitate most of Jacob's team, and was able to delay Edge's escape long enough for help to arrive. However, in the process, Edge was able to slice Maul's chest open with a Guillotine, almost killing the Alakazam and leaving him with a permanent scar. Maul ended up spending most of the remainder of Unova-2 in the Lentimas Pokemon Center, recovering.

Relationships

Maul has an unusual relationship with Herbert, rarely talking to him and often criticising his decisions when he does. Even so, he never disobeys orders and seems perfectly willing to carry out whatever Herbert orders him to do. Herbert has noted, however, that Maul refuses to eat his dreams whenever he has nightmares.

Maul is shunned by most of Herbert's team, an arrangement he seems to be content with. Only Kirk and Bishop seem to tolerate his company, and even they do so with ill grace. Ripley believes him to be insane and keeps her distance, whilst Leia and Wrex are unnerved by his behavior and avoid him.
