Alice (Japanese:アリスAlice) is a major character who appeared inThe Rise of Darkrai. She is anAlamos Town local who works part time as ahot-air balloon tour guide while she continues her music studies.

In animation

At one time during her childhood, after accidentally falling from atop a hill, Alice was saved byDarkrai, though that was not revealed for a long time. For years, she believed that her childhood friendTonio saved her instead, and fell in love with him as a result.

Ash andhis friends first met Alice after they found themselves on the wrong shoreline while on their way toAlamos Town. She gave them a lift to Alamos Town in her hot-air balloon and later took them on a guided tour through the town. Alice's tour ofGodey's garden was cut short, however, after awildGallade alerted her to a serious problem; some of the park's pillars were twisted in an unusual way. The group encountered Tonio andBaron Alberto, a man with a one-sided romantic interest towards Alice, before being attacked by Darkrai, who put Ash to sleep with aDark Void.

The following day, after Ash's recovery, Alice took him and his friends to theSpace-Time Towers and then paid Tonio's laboratory a visit where she was alarmed to find her friend collapsed on the floor. She quickly shook him awake and once he woke up, Tonio handed Alice an oldphotograph of her grandmotherAlicia that he had found. Alice turned over the picture and noticed a series of music notes written on the back of it.

Later, after Alamos Town was trapped in a pocketdimension by an injuredPalkia, Alberto assembled a group ofTrainers to combat Darkrai, who they believed to be responsible for the strange occurrence. However, Alice disagreed with Alberto's assumptions, stopping Ash and his friends from joining the group and noting that Darkrai's actions thus far seemed more defensive than offensive. Alice's hunch was eventually proven correct, as Palkia was identified by Tonio as the true culprit, and Alamos Town became the scene of a clash between Palkia andDialga.

Alice was able to locate the "Oración" sound disc after noticing the motif present on the back of Alicia's photograph and attempted to reach the top of the Space-Time Towers with her balloon. Alice managed to land Ash andDawn with the disc in hand at a higher point of the towers, but she and Tonio were blown off-course by Dialga and were forced to abandon the balloon.

After Alamos Town was saved from disappearing into another dimension, thanks to Ash and Dawn, Alice was left heartbroken about Darkrai, who had sacrificed itself to stop Palkia and Dialga's attacks from dooming the town. She recalled that it valiantly saved her on several occasions during the clash, and formally thanked it for its efforts. Alice and the others began to walk away, though something caughtPikachu's attention. They turned back to see Darkrai's silhouette on a cliff, indicating that it, like Alamos Town, had been restored.

Later, Alice joined Ash,Brock and Tonio to watch Dawn compete in the Alamos TownContest.

Alice, Tonio, Darkrai, and Alberto reappeared in the ending credits ofArceus and the Jewel of Life.

Character

Alice is able to calm any Pokémon by playing a song using a leaf whistle, playing a version of "Oración", which was taught to her byher grandmother. She continues to study music and regularly visitsGodey's garden to play to thewild Pokémon. Another of her grandmother's legacies is her connection toDarkrai. The Pitch Black Pokémon remains very protective of Alice because her grandmother once healed it when it was injured.

Alice has deep feelings forTonio, which stems from an incident where she believed that he had saved her from a fall off a cliff. Even though Tonio revealed what actually occurred, Alice was still infatuated with Tonio because of his intelligence and honest nature.
