Alvin

**Alvin** (Japanese: **アルビン** *Arubin*) is a Pokémon Trainer hailed from Jubilife City in the Sinnoh region. From his choice of Pokémon, Alvin specializes in both Grass and Bug-type Pokémon.

## **New Era**

### **Sinnoh**

Alvin made his first appearance when he was falsely accused of being the perpetrator behind the theft of the Adamant Orb from the Eterna Historical Museum as the thieves had a Sunflora, and so did Alvin, and with his Sunflora having run off somewhere, Alvin was the first, and major, suspect, although Alvin continued to deny his involvement. Dwayne and the Officer Jenny from Viridian City believed his claims, while the Jenny from Eterna City continued to accuse him, despite Viridian Jenny's claims that all Trainers with a Sunflora should be investigated, and not only Alvin, although the Eterna Jenny ignored her suggestion. Once the Pokémon Pinchers were identified as the true culprits and the Orb was recovered, Alvin was released. After being exonerated of the crime, he explained the mythology behind the Adamant Orb to Dwayne, citing the Original Story from the Sinnoh myths.

Alvin later appeared as one of the participants of the Lily of the Valley Conference, and battled against Dwayne in their first official match. Alvin sends out his Roserade as his first Pokémon while Dwayne chooses Pidgeot, which is a type advantage over Roserade. Alvin gets the first move, and tells Roserade to use Sweet Scent, which Pidgeot fails to dodge. Then, Roserade uses Magical Leaf, hitting Pidgeot once again. Pidgeot falls, and Alvin tells Roserade to use Solar Beam. As Roserade is preparing to launch its Solar Beam, Dwayne begs Pidgeot to stand up and dodge. Roserade launches its Solar Beam, but at the last second, Pidgeot opens his eyes, and an explosion occurs. Pidgeot flies out of the smoke, which astonishes both Alvin and Roserade. Dwayne tells Pidgeot to use Aerial Ace, and hits Roserade, which knocks Roserade out. Alvin recalls Roserade and sends out Armaldo. Dwayne realizes that Pidgeot is worn out, so he tells him to use Brave Bird to try and knock out Armaldo in one hit, but Armaldo suddenly uses Protect, causing Pidgeot to crash directly into the force field, leaving him damaged. Then, Armaldo uses Rock Blast, knocking out Pidgeot.

For his next choice, Dwayne chooses Chansey. As the battle rages on, both Chansey and Armaldo are running out of steam. Alvin tells Armaldo to use X-Scissor, and Dwayne tells Chansey to use Pound. Both attacks collide. Armaldo is out for the count, but with the strong impact of the X-Scissor, Chansey is knocked out too. The match results in a draw.

Alvin sends out his last Pokémon, Kricketune, and Dwayne sends out his Glaceon. Dwayne tells Glaceon to use Ice Shard, and Kricketune counters with Silver Wind, and the impact sends Glaceon back, although only slightly. Alvin tells Kricketune to use Sing, but Glaceon swiftly dodges and uses Swift, and Kricketune counters it with Fury Cutter. The two continue to attack with Lazuli watching the battle on the television. A strong impact from both attacks sends Kricketune flying. Alvin then tells Kricketune to use Sing, but just as it is about to use the move, Dwayne tells Glaceon to use Double-Edge, causing a small earthquake that causes Kricketune to lose its balance, allowing Glaceon to follow-up with Blizzard. With the strong power, Kricketune is knocked out, and Dwayne is the winner.

## **Character**

Alvin's is extremely calm and collected. Even in the most tense of situations, such as being arrested for a crime he did not commit, Alvin will always look to the positive side. Alvin is incredibly fascinated about Sinnoh's history and myths, which is reflected on his choice of clothing, as Alvin prefers wearing more old-fashioned clothes rather than regular, modern, ones.

Aside from his calm nature, Alvin is extremely polite towards anyone he meets, even those who either disagree or confront him, seen as when Officer Jenny from Eterna City angrily interrogated him about his supposed involvement in the theft of the Adamant Orb, Alvin politely insisted on his innocence and despite Jenny's constant yelling and angry remarks, Alvin kept his cool and politeness, knowing full well that Jenny only wanted to find the responsible, and fully understood where she was coming from.
