Character

Alain doggedly pursues his goal of becoming the strongest, often ignoring the concern of others.

Alain has a tendency to push away the people he wants to protect. During his time working at Professor Sycamore's lab, Alain was much more cheerful than he is in the present. While he has distanced himself from Professor Sycamore, it is clear he is still concerned about him.

Alain is a good sport, and is shown to take his losses well. When he wins battles, he likewise congratulates his opponents on putting up a good fight, which is how he befriends Ashe. He enjoys a challenge, becoming visibly exciting when he and Charizard were pushed into a corner in their first battle with Ashe's Garchomp.
