| ~ Alain's battle cry whenever he has his Charizard Mega Evolve |
Alain is a major protagonist in Pokémon the Series: XYZ and the main protagonist of the Mega Evolution Specials.
He is a Pokémon trainer from the Kalos region who used to work as the lab assistant to Professor Sycamore with a Charizard as his main partner. He soon decided to find more for himself out in the world and amazed with the power of Mega Evolution, gained a desire to become the most powerful Mega-evolution based trainer in the world. He also serves as the main Kalos rival to Ash Ketchum.
He is voiced by Kensho Ono in the Japanese, while in English he is voiced by Jonathan Silver.
Appearance[]
Alain is a tall, slim teenager with messy black hair, and blue eyes. He typically sports a pair of baggy, gray pants, a black, leather jacket, black boots, a blue shirt with a white undershirt, and a pair of fingerless gloves. He also wears a pale, blue scarf.
Personality[]
Alain is portrayed to usually be focused on his goals, yet often exhibits aloof behavior and can wander off in thought. He at first seems to push others away from him, but he helped Mairin capture Flabébé with hints on strategy. He does, however, have a close bond with his Charizard, and has become accustomed to Mairin's companionship as shown in Mega Evolution Special II. Alain doggedly pursues his goal of becoming the strongest, often ignoring the concern of others and inadvertently causing distress and further concern among those that care most for him.
Alain is also rather stoic, showing little emotion in battle and only expressing vague excitement at the prospect of battling Ash. When Team Flare began their assault on Lumiose City, Alain felt betrayed by them and became filled with despair at the fact that he had been used in their plan to destroy the world. With Ash's help, he turned against Team Flare and helped stop their evil scheme.
He is also shown to be a good sport, and is shown to take his losses well. When he wins battles, he likewise congratulates his opponents on putting up a good fight, which is how he befriends Ash. When he loses, he doesn't let it bother him, instead devoting himself to train even harder. He greatly enjoys a challenge, becoming visibly excited when he and Charizard were pushed into a corner in their second battle with Ash-Greninja.
