Alain (Pokemon)

Alain, also known as Alan, is a character from the Pokemon series.
== Charactah Accounts ==
Alain is Ash's main rival in the Kalos region and later become the Kalos League Champion. He seeks out Mega Stones and trainers with Mega Evolved Pokemon to defeat them under the guidance of a mysterious voice on his Holo Caster.
Alain is a calm, silent-type figure, who shows little emotion and focuses his attention towards battling. Deep down, however, he does not wish to see the ones closest to him to suffer or get them in danger. Alain also obeys Lysandre's orders without much hesitation, since Lysandre was the one that equipped him with the Mega Ring and gave the Mega Stone, Charizardite. In addition, Alain despises losing (at the time of being defeated against Siebold), hence why he did ask Lysandre to battle 10 Mega Evolution trainers to become stronger.
Also, he doesn't show much happiness to most victories, but he does anticipate battling Ash. When Team Flare began their assault on Lumiose City, Alain felt betrayed by them and became extremely upset at the fact that he had been used by them. Those feelings with Ash's help to see things clearly led him to turn against Team Flare and join Ash's battle for the sake of the world.
