Summary
Pokémon ’s Leon has a reputation for being undefeated , or at least he did until he lose to Ash in the climactic rhythm of the Masters ' Eight Tournament . However , there ’s still one champion who has never been defeated on screen in a proper battle , and he did n’t even make it to the Masters ' Eight at all : Alder .
Alder was the Champion of the Unova region duringPokémon Black & Whitewho only appeared on a fistful of occasions . By the fourth dimension ofJourneys , it seems Alder has retired , as Iris has taken his place asUnova ’s Champion for the Masters ' Eight . Alder was established as being experienced , and seemed to have been the Champion for quite a long time when he touch Ash . However , he was also introduce flirting ( unsuccessfully ) with Officer Jenny , nearly getting arrested in the cognitive operation .
In " Ash Versus the Champion ! " , Alder goes on to have a struggle with Ash , only things do n’t quite go according to plan .
Alder Never Loses a Real Battle, But…
Alder shout out out his Bouffalant , which takes several attack from Pikachu without flinching . In fact , Alder does n’t even react at all – he ’s actually flow benumbed mid - battle , prompting his own Pokémon to turn on him . Bouffalant rams into Alder , knock him into a tree , and Alder leave up , even though Bouffalant is dead capable of battling . While Alder technically concedes to Ash , it ’s clear that this was n’t a real contest in any way , and that Alder was n’t fill Ash badly as an opponent .
Alder has only one other battle that is shown in the series . In " Jostling for the Junior Cup ! " , Alder is present at the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup to have an exhibition fight with the winner of the cupful , which change state out to be Ash ’s challenger , Trip . Here , in a real battle , Alder actually give care , and using that same Bouffalant , is able to easily kill Trip ’s Serperior without break off a sweat . This is the only taste sensation buff get of Alder ’s actual battling talent .
Whether one need to matter Alder ’s " loss " to Ash or not , Alder ’s exclusive literal battle turn up that he was worthy of the rubric of Champion , even if his world-wide behavior might betoken otherwise . Interestingly , there is no indication as to whether Iris ever combat Alder for the title of Champion ; it has been show , by character like Cynthia , that a Champion can retirewithout lose to someone else , merely vacate the spot . Given Alder ’s age , it seems quite possible that he retired without battling Iris to keep his title at all .
While Alder is easily the least impressive Champion seen in the serial publication , he does have the differentiation of winning his only real on - silver screen battle , making him technically undefeated – although there ’s a big asterisk next to that one . Since every other Champion known in the anime participated in the Masters ' Eight Tournament , and thus lose at some point on screen , that leave Alder as the only one who ’s never suffered a licit defeat in thePokémonanime .
