Summary
Alder holds the title of Champion for the Unova region. He first appeared in the series during a flashback sequence in episode BW034, which depicted scenes from Trip's youth. In this memory, Alder was engaged in a battle against another trainer in the center of town, using his Bouffalant, while Trip watched with admiration. Following the match, the Champion approached the young boy, permitting him to pet and feed the Pokémon. He then encouraged Trip to train diligently when he grew up, sealing the moment with a handshake.
