===Games===
Alder is first met by the Player outside [[Nimbasa City]] when he catches sight of [[Elesa]]. After [[Cheren]] says he seeks to become [[Champion]] to gain strength, Alder decides to have him and the Player have a Pokemon battle with two Preschoolers to show him their battle styles. After which, Alder is surprised his words have not swayed Cheren's heart and proceeds to enjoy the rest of the festival he is attending. Much later, after [[N]] gains control of [[Reshiram]]/[[Zekrom]], Alder appears and N informs him about his plans to change the world along with a reminder why he is traveling around the [[Unova|Unova region]]. Following N's tip on where to find the Dark stone/Light Stone, Alder meets up with the Player in the [[Relic Castle]], only to encounter [[Ghetsis]]. Sadly, the stone is not in the ruins and there is little time until N reaches the Pokemon league and earns the right to challenge Alder. However, to brighten things up, [[Lenora]] calls and reveals that the stone in the museum is actually the Dark Stone/Light Stone that holds the essence of [[Zekrom]]/[[Reshiram]]. Having faith in the Player being the second Hero, Alder leaves the Stone in the Player's hands and returns to the Pokemon Leauge to face N. However, Alder loses to N as his heart has not yet healed from the loss of his Pokemon. After [[Team Plasma]]'s castle engulfs the Pokemon League, Alder lets the Player go in his place to face N and stop him from separating Pokemon from humans. After N's defeat, Alder arrives with [[Cheren]] and takes [[Ghetsis]] away to be arrested. However, the [[Shadow Triad]] manage to free Ghetsis, where he goes into hiding.

In[[ Pokemon Black 2 and White 2]], the player first meets Alder in [[Floccesy Town]], where he resides. He doesn't have much of a role in this game, unlike his role in the predecessor. But, when the game is completed, you may go back to Floccesy Town and he will ask you to battle with him. Instead of using Bug-type Pokemon, he uses a mix of Pokemon (he still has his [[Volcarona]] though). Once you defeat him, his grandson, [[Benga]]; will come rushing in, stating that he has completed the Black Tower challenge.

Biography

Games

Black and White

He aimlessly wandered around the Unova region when his Pokémon partner passed away.

Alder is first met by the Player outside Nimbasa City when he catches sight of Elesa. After Cheren says he seeks to become Champion to gain strength, Alder decides to have him and the Player have a Pokemon battle with two Preschoolers to show him their battle styles. After which, Alder is surprised his words have not swayed Cheren's heart and proceeds to enjoy the rest of the festival he is attending. Much later, after N gains control of Reshiram/Zekrom, Alder appears and N informs him about his plans to change the world along with a reminder why he is traveling around the Unova region. Following N's tip on where to find the Dark stone/Light Stone, Alder meets up with the Player in the Relic Castle, only to encounter Ghetsis. Sadly, the stone is not in the ruins and there is little time until N reaches the Pokemon league and earns the right to challenge Alder. However, to brighten things up, Lenora calls and reveals that the stone in the museum is actually the Dark Stone/Light Stone that holds the essence of Zekrom/Reshiram. Having faith in the Player being the second Hero, Alder leaves the Stone in the Player's hands and returns to the Pokemon League to face N. However, Alder loses to N as his heart has not yet healed from the loss of his Pokemon. After Team Plasma's castle engulfs the Pokemon League, Alder lets the Player go in his place to face N and stop him from separating Pokemon from humans. After N's defeat, Alder arrives with Cheren and takes Ghetsis away to be arrested. However, the Shadow Triad manage to free Ghetsis, where he goes into hiding.

Black 2 and White 2

The player first meets Alder in Floccesy Town, where he resides. He doesn't have much of a role in this game, unlike his role in the predecessor. But, when the game is completed, you may go back to Floccesy Town and he will ask you to battle with him. Instead of using Bug-type Pokemon, he uses a mix of Pokemon (he still has his Volcarona though). Once you defeat him, his grandson, Benga; will come rushing in, stating that he has completed the Black Tower/White Tree Hollow challenge.

Alder in the Anime

Alder was mentioned by Trip in BW034. He was shown to have a Bouffalant and to battle a trainer's Herdier. Alder is the one who inspired Trip to become a trainer. He appeared battling Ash in person in BW054. He has been shown to be quite forgetful, not remembering Trip or Ash's names despite being told repeatedly, even needing to be reminded where he left off on advice. Oddly, he seems to fall asleep standing up.

Pokémon Information
In Trip's flashback in BW034, it battled a unknown trainer's Herdier and defeated it with Head Smash. He reappeared in BW054, where he battled Ash's Pikachu, though he didn't really do any battling because Alder had fallen asleep and hadn't given any commands. When he woke up, he ordered Bouffalant to use Head Smash, though instead of attacking Pikachu, he attacked Alder.
