Alder

Alder (Japanese: アデク Adeku) is the Champion of the Unova Region. The player is rewarded 15,400 for defeating him in-game.

Background
He is shown to be wandering around the whole Unova region when his dearest Pokémon partner died.

In the Game
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 leauge and earns the right to challenge Alder. However, to brighten things up, Lenora calls and reveals that the stone in the museum is actual 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 was 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. Later, Alder takes up residency in the abandoned castle, making the thron room the new champion room.

In the Anime
Alder was mentioned by Trip in BW034. He was shown to have a Bouffalant. Alder is the one who inspired Trip to become a trainer.

Trivia

 * In the Japanese versions of Pokémon Black and White Alder speaks old fashion Japanese. Battle against adeku.png
 * Alder looks to be the oldest Champion yet.
 * Alder could also be the strongest champion yet, considering his Pokémon all level 75, but one is level 77.
 * But this is debatable as Cynthia has a much better and well rounded team when you battle her in Undella town but also you face Alder after beating the whole Elite Four. But Red still has the title of the strongest NPC trainer in the games with a level 80 being his weakest Pokémon in HeartGold and SoulSilver, whilst his weakest in the original Gold and Silver was still at least equal to Alder's.
 * His necklace resembles Admin Dakim's from Pokémon Colesseum.
 * He resembles a Native American chief and his hair resembles that of Volcarona's wings.
 * Alder is the first Champion that is not battled the first time you defeat the Elite Four. Instead, you battle N and Ghetsis.
 * Alder began to wonder aimlessly throughout the Unova region after the death of one of his beloved Pokémon.
 * According to Ghetsis, Alder didn't win the place of Champion, but the Elite Four asked for him to take the title.
 * Alder may not know how to use the PC-system, since he carries six Poké Balls around his neck and an extra three Poké Balls on his belt. Or, he just prefers to have them all with him at all times.
 * All of his Pokémon are male.
 * Four of his Pokémon know a -type move (Volcarona, Bouffalant, Accelgor, and Escavalier)
 * It is unknown as to what Alder's now-deceased partner was.
 * Although not having a preferred type, three of Alder's six known Pokémon are -types.
