Benga (Japanese: バンジロウ Banjirō) is a Pokémon Trainer from Unova. He is Alder's grandson and the final Boss Trainer of the Black TowerB2/White TreehollowW2.

In the games

Benga is a Trainer who appears in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. After the player has defeated Alder in Floccesy Town after becoming Champion, Benga will rush in and tell his grandfather that he's successfully made it to the top of the Black Tower in Black CityB2/deepest part of the White Treehollow in White ForestW2. Upon noticing the player, he urges them to challenge the facility as well and meet him there.

Benga is encountered a couple times throughout the player's journey through the Black TowerB2/White TreehollowW2, until he's finally battled as the Boss Trainer of Area 10, the final area of the facility. After being defeated, he tells the player to come meet him at Alder's house in Floccesy Town. If the player then returns to the house with an empty slot in their party, Benga will give them a Shiny GibleB2/DratiniW2 as a gift, before returning to the Black TowerB2/White TreehollowW2.

Benga in Pokémon Adventures

Benga first appeared in PS541. He is a first-year student at the Aspertia City Trainers' School, alongside Blake, Whitley, Hugh, Leo, Yuki, Yuko, and Maya. On the first day of school, Benga fought in a battle against Blake, Hugh and Leo, which led to Benga's suspension.

After his suspension period had ended, Benga returned to school, only to find that his class had gone off to Castelia City on a trip. Following their tracks, Benga traveled to Castelia with Marlon, only to witness the city getting frozen by the Plasma Frigate. Benga and Marlon found the class, unconscious but unharmed, and took them to the Marine Tube to recuperate. Once the class had woken up, Benga and Marlon explained everything to them, and revealed that they are gathering forces to help launch a counterattack against Team Plasma.
