In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Alder appears as the wandering Champion of [[Unova]]. The {{player}} first meets him on {{rt|5|Unova}}, where he is seen with [[Cheren]]. The two are discussing Cheren's ambitions and goals as a Trainer—at this point, Cheren is aiming to be the Champion of Unova. Alder appears at several points in the game to help the player put a stop to the plans of [[Team Plasma]], making appearances at [[Relic Castle]] and [[N's Castle]]. | In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Alder appears as the wandering Champion of [[Unova]].

Uniquely for a Champion, Alder cannot be battled the first time the player challenges the {{un|Pokémon League}}. By the time the player is ready to challenge him, Alder has already been defeated by [[N]]. The player must then battle N, putting each other's beliefs on the line to determine the future of [[Unova]]. | Uniquely for a Champion, Alder cannot be battled the first time the player challenges the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

Before his partner's death, the two of them madly pursued strength, much like Cheren did. The Pokémon's death changed Alder's outlook on life. The identity of this Pokémon is never mentioned in Black and White, but dialogue in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} reveals that Alder's late partner was a {{p|Larvesta}} that evolved into {{p|Volcarona}}.<ref>Alder: "''Well done! That was an impressive battle. The spirit of my first partner, Larvesta - no, Volcarona - lives on in my current partners, too! I want to add your strength to their experience as well!''"</ref> | ||
[[Ghetsis]] suggests that Alder may not have actually won the title of Champion, instead being requested by the [[Unova League|Pokémon League]] to take the position. It is said that Alder instructed the Elite Four to look after Unova as he traveled around the region. | [[Ghetsis]] suggests that Alder may not have actually won the title of Champion, instead being requested by the [[Unova League|Pokémon League]] to take the position.
