Professor Alder

Professor Alder is the professor of the Uwena Region.

## History

### Studies in Paldea

When Walter Alder was young, he was fascinated by the many different forms of pokemon, mainely mega evolution and terrestrialization. So he traveled to only the best school there was, Uva Academy in the Paldea region. He studied the origins of the many forms pokemon could achieve, hoping one day to discover a new form of pokemon in his home region, Uwena.

### Discovery and Study of Terminal Evolution

Walter Alder spent years as a pokemon professor, studying a new type of stone. The stone looked like an evolution stone, but after trying again and again with many pokemon, he failed many times trying to evolve pokemon with it, but he lost hope. But one day, he discovered the source of the stones, a legendary pokemon. The stones grew all over the back of the pokemon, making Walter realize that there is something special about the stones after all.

He continued researching the stones, and eventually discovered that the legendary pokemon that the stones grow on, launched the stones to very specific areas. He went to the areas where the stones landed, and discovered the true purpose of the stones. He watched as a sunflora approached one of the stone, and touch it. The sunflora then began to evolve into a fire/grass type pokemon. Walter couldn't believe it, sunflora was thought to be incapable of evolving. This moment reignited Walters motivation to study the stones.

### Forced Terminal Evolution

He experimented on more pokemon, and discovered that the stone gave weak pokemon evolutions that made them stronger than the average pokemon. Then after years of research, he created a device that would be able to harness the power of this stone. With the device, he discovered that he could give other pokemon these new evolutions, even if they already had strong evolutions. The first pokemon he tried his device on was tyrogue. Evolution was triggered, but something wasn't right. The new pokemon was as strong as a mega evolution, if not stronger. It was also ferocious, knocking Walter to the floor. In a panic, Walter threw a pokeball at it in a panic, but it broke free as soon as it was inside the pokeball.

He managed to lock the pokemon up, but we was severely injured in the process. The pokemon was starting to break free, so Walter was forced to use a prototype pokeball that was more sturdy than a master ball. The pokemon broke out, and Walter threw the pokeball at it, and managed to catch it. He sent out the pokemon, and it was tamed. Walter realized that forcing terminal evolution on pokemon who weren't meant to was to dangerous. , and decided to lock up the device.

### The Evil Teams Theft of Walters Device

The evil team of the Uwena Region discovered Walters device, and decided to take it. The leader broke into his office, and pinned him against the wall, while their goons stole his device, and the pokeball that contained the pokemon Walter forced the terminal evolution onto. The team told Walter of their plan to terminal evolve pokemon to help with the destruction of the region. Walter was helpless and was left to rot. Luckley, Walter still had the blueprints to the device, and managed to construct another.

### Walter seeks help

When Walter came to Gagoti county to give new trainers their starter pokemon, he came upon the player character. Once the player got their starter pokemon, they soon proved to Walter that they were capable of taking down the evil team, he gave them the device that could force terminal evolution. The player promises to use the device to terminal evolve pokemon to help take down the evil team.
