Alain is one of the protagonists that appears in the Pokémon series and Mega Evolution Special. He is one of the Ash's main rivals in the Kalos region and the eventual Kalos League Champion after defeating Ash in the finals.

Appearance[]
Alain is a tall, slender teenager with messy black hair and blue eyes. He usually wears baggy gray pants, a black leather jacket, black boots, a blue shirt and white undershirt, and fingerless gloves. He also wears a pale blue scarf that closely resembles the flames emerging from Mega Charizard X's mouth.
In Pokémon Journeys, he keeps the same attire. But his clothes are not as loose as before.
Personality[]
Alain is a calm and quiet type of person who doesn't show much emotion and focuses on his struggles. But deep down, he doesn't want to see those closest to him suffer, especially his best friend Mairin. It was Lysandre who equipped Alan with the Mega Ring and Charizard X Mega Stone, so he followed Lysandre's orders without hesitation. Also, Alan hates losing, and after losing to Siebold, he started wanting to defeat 10 Mega Evolution trainers and become stronger.
Alain is also quite stoic, showing little emotion in battle, only expressing vague excitement when he sees Ash struggling. When Team Flare began their attack on Lumiose City, Alan felt betrayed by them, and he was angry at the fact that he had been used by them. With Ash's help, he rebelled against Team Flare and helped thwart their evil plans.
After Team Flare's ambitions were finally thwarted, Alan was depressed about what had happened and felt that even now that everyone was safe, he still had to make amends for his mistakes. However, after a short conversation with Ash, he begins to feel better and happily accepts Sycamore's offer to become his assistant again.
Alan was strongly influenced by his best friend Ash's passion for fighting, and he wanted to enter the League to fight against him. Ash also urged Alan to go on another journey after Team Flare's defeat.
