Prior to the events of {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Alder]]'s [[starter Pokémon]] died of an illness, and in despair over not being able to save it, he began traveling around aimlessly. Before his partner's death, the two of them madly pursued strength. 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|Volcarona}}, which evolved from a {{p|Larvesta}}.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, a girl named Paula in [[Hammerlocke]] asks the player to deliver [[Old Letter|a letter]] to a boy named Frank in [[Ballonlea]]. The boy turns out to be an old man who was friends with a girl named Paula when he was younger, but she fell ill and hid from him how sick she was. This caused an argument and the boy ended up moving away shortly after. If the player returns to where Paula was, they'll find a [[Reaper Cloth]].
