You know, I never understood why fans gave Alder alot of shit for losing to N. In lore, Box legendaries are supposed to be on a whole different level of power compared to even pseudo legendary pokemon. Even part of the plot of the game is everyone pushing you to find the other legendary so you can actually stand a chance against N. And on top of that, he was out of his prime and lost his true ace. He was going up against alot and yet, he still stood his ground and fought to the end. And I respect that.
