**Alain** is a character from the *Pokémon the Series: XYZ* and the *Mega Evolution Specials* anime.

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 Pokémon to defeat them under the guidance of a mysterious voice on his Holo Caster.

In the XP4 fics, Alain debuted in XP4 Heroes Coalition - Kick-Off!.

In the AWA fics, Alain, also known as **Alain Regulus**, is a student at the AWA Academy and is part of Class 12.

## **Appearance**

Alain is a tall, slim teenager with messy, black hair and blue eyes. He typically sports a pair of baggy, grey 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 that closely resembles the flames that appear from Mega Charizard X's mouth.

## **Personality**

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.

After Team Flare's ambitions were finally stopped, Alain felt depressed at what had happened and thought that he still needs to atone for the mistakes he made now that everyone is safe. However, he started to feel better after a brief conversation with Ash and gladly accepted Sycamore's offer to become his assistant again.

Alain's been strongly influenced by Ash due to his eagerness in battles which is why he wanted to compete in the league to battle him also Ash helped realizes his actions after seeing what his work made his former boss do and Ash helped him start over with his friend Mairin.
