Paraphrasing. Added some extra descriptive details and fixed punctuational inconsistencies. Also note that I changed "captains" to "leaders", as I feel addressing to the characters collectively as "leaders" seems more appropriate.

'''Alph''' is one of the three [[leader|leaders]] in [[Pikmin 3]]. He visits [[PNF-404]], along with [[Brittany]] and his captain, [[Charlie]] in search of food for the hungry planet of [[Koppai]]. Alph is the mechanic of the [[S.S. Drake]]. He is very interested in technological devices and is a very capable engineer that configures objects found on PNF-404 for the crew to use on their quest for food. He has a blue tuft of hair and wears a spacesuit with blue highlights. Like the other two members of his team, he is from Koppai.


{{spoiler}}
{{Template:Infobox leader
When the crew first attempts to land on [[PNF-404]], they encounter difficulties and all three members are ejected from the [[S.S. Drake]]. They all crash-land in different areas. Alph happens to fall into the [[Tropical Wilds]], the same area in which the Drake also landed with its auto-pilot. With the help of some local Pikmin, he builds a bridge and is able to reunite with his [[KopPad]] and the Drake. It is then up to him to rescue his coworkers by flying to the other areas with the Drake.

He wears a spacesuit with a blue lapel, has teal-colored hair similar to [[Captain Olimar|Captain Olimar's]] in shape, an average sized nose and freckles on his cheeks. His eyes are always open, much like when other characters such as Olimar or [[Louie]] are surprised, and is by far the shortest of all the playable [[Leader|leaders]]. Alph serves as the ship's engineer, the [[S.S. Drake]], which his grandfather designed. He is very bright and positive in character, and greatly respects [[Captain Charlie]].

*''"I should follow that signal."''
*''"If I slide the KopPad Map..."''
*''"Aha! The SS Drake isn't that far from here!"''
*''"Maybe the other crew members are there as well. I'd best head in that direction."''
;Finds [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]]
*''"Is that red thing...food?"''
;Bring Pellet to the Onion
*''"It produced sprouts!"''
;Plucks Pikmin
*''Oh, I see... So this is where those little creatures come from. What a strange thing!"''
;Female Sheargrubs appear
*''"Woah!"''
;Finds 5 Pellet Posy
*''"This one is even bigger!"''
;Finds box
*''"What is this enormous thing?"''
*''"The Drake must be somewhere on the other side of it..."''
;Finds first data file
*''"Something's in here!"''
*''"It looks like someone's left a data file here. Perhaps the KopPad will be able to read it."''
*''"Excellent! The KopPad can read the data file."''
*''"So these creatures are called Pikmin?"''
*''"This information might come in handy later on. I'll save it in the KopPad's Exploration Notes."''
*''"It's strange, though... I wonder who created this data file?"''
*''"Could there be other intelligent life forms on this planet?"''
;Searching for the SS Drake
*''"According to the Radar...the Drake should be through here."''

*''"Wow! Those are enormous! But they don't look edible..."''

*''"What am I supposed to do now?"''
;Call from Brittany
*''Alph: "Incoming call! Who's it from?"''
*''Brittany: "Alph! It's me, Brittany! Do you copy?"''
*''Brittany: "Thank goodness! You're with the S.S. Drake, right?"''
*''Brittany: "I made it through the landing in one piece. The thing is, I'm trapped somewhere."''
*''Brittany: "And I'm starv-"''
*''Alph: "Oh, no! We've been cut off! I wonder how far Brittany is."''
*''Alph: "In any case, I'm glad that she seems to be safe and sound."''
;End of first day
*''"What was that strange cry?"''
*''"The sun is setting, which could mean that nocturnal predators are starting to wake up."''
*''"I should probably get off the planet's surface for now."''
*''"Most of the supplies we brought with us from Koppai were ruined in the crash-landing..."''
*''"So we now only have 3 days' worth of edible provisions left..."''
*''"From tomorrow, I'll have to work on sourcing food locally..."''
;Locate the [[Garden of Hope]]
*''"Brittany's signal seems to be coming from over there!"''
*''"Right now, meeting up with her has got to be my top priority."''
*''"Having said that, I'm also quite worried by the loss of our cosmic drive key."''
*''"Without it, the Drake can't reach a high enough speed to get us home."''
;Landing in the Garden of Hope
*''"Brittany should be around here somewhere!"''
*''"We're running out of food, so I'd better find her before it's too late."''
;Taking Pikmin out of the Onion
*''"It looks like the Onion has followed me here. So where are the Pikmin?"''
*''"Ah, I see. That Onion vessel is a Pikmin nest."''
*''"I'm going to configure the KopPad so we can use it to check Pikmin status."''
;Encounter first [[Red Bulborb|Bulborb]]
*''"Shhh...it's asleep."''
*''"I think we can sneak up on it!"''
;Located Brittany
*''Alph: "Brittany's just lying there! I hope I'm not too late!"''
*''Alph: "Pick up, Brittany! Pick up! Please be OK!"''
*''Alph: "......"''
*''Brittany: "Alph?! Sorry about that. I was just taking a little nap. So, you're close by?"''
*''Brittany: "Why wasn't I moving, you ask? Hee hee, well, you know me. I can sleep anywhere."''
*''Brittany: "But never mind that. Listen, I discovered what looks like a huge piece of fruit! It's over there!"''
*''Brittany: "But I'm stuck here for the time being. Could you go and check it out for me?"''
;Finds first fruit
*''"Wow! It's even bigger than I thought it would be!"''
*''"If this really is fruit, then it's a major discovery!"''
*''"I'd like to analyze it at the Drake, but how can I move it?"''
;Obtaining first fruit
*''Drake: "Recovering..."''
*''Alph: "Oh! There's an incoming transmission from the Drake!"''
*''Drake: "Analysing the recovered plant!"''
*''Drake: "Large quantities of Piktamin U detected!"''
*''Drake: "This is a seed-bearing fruit, making cultivation on Koppai possible."''
*''Drake: "Juice from this fruit is safe for consumption by crew members."''
*''Alph: "I'll add a Fruit File to the KopPad, where we can store the results of our analysis."''
*''Alph: "But I don't know much about plants at all."''
*''Alph: "I'll ask Brittany to write reports later, since she's the botanist."''
;Discover Rock Onion
*''"What is that thing?!"''
;Finding Rock Pikmin
*''"Is there something inside that thing?!"''
*''"Are these creatures Pikmin too? They're giving me a funny look..."''
*''"What in the-?"''
*''"These ones seem friendly too!"''
*''"Wow, they really pack a punch!"''
*''"Seems like they really want to smash it up..."''
*''"There! That's all of it!"''
*''"So their Onion was trapped inside that crystal."''
*''"Since I have two types of Pikmin now, I can select the ones I want to use with C."''
*''"When I want to split them up by type, I'll use (nunchuck shake) to dismiss the squad."''
;Collects [[Medusal Slurker]]
*''"Yesterday's foe is today's food."''
*''"Wow... Nature is unforgiving."''
;Searching for Brittany
*''"Brittany is on the other side of this wall."''
;Fragments across the water in the Garden of Hope
*''"There are materials for constructing a bridge on the opposite shore."''
*''"If I work together with Brittany, I think we can get that bridge built."''
;Closer to signal
*''"So, the signal is coming from beyond here?"''
;Data file on the way to the mysterious signal
*''"Huh? Looks like there's a data file here too."''
*''"...Hocotate? I think that's near Koppai."''
*''"If I recall correctly, it's a planet populated by treasure-loving vegetable eaters."''
*''"Did they come all this way to hunt for treasure? This Olimar fellow seems pretty devoted to his family."''
;About to enter [[Armored Mawdad]] arena
*''"Looks like someone or something dug this out..."''
;Enter Armored Mawdad's arena
*''"I've got a bad feeling (text interrupted)''
;Armored Mawdad charges
*''"Here it comes!"''
;Break Armored Mawdad's armor
*''"There we go! Maybe now..."''
;Armored Mawdad missing in action
*''"Where'd it go?"''
;Armored Mawdad defeated
*''"So this was giving off that signal..."''
*''"But what does this means for the Captain's whereabouts...?"''
*''"I guess for now we should take this back to the Drake for analysis. I think it might be of some use to us."''
;Obtaining Data Glutton
*''Drake: "Recovering..."''
*''Alph: "We're receiving a transmission from the Drake!"''
*''Drake: "Analysing recovered item!"''
*''Drake: "An ancient communication device used on this planet."''
*''Drake: "It contains technology unknown to Koppai and is emitting a signal even now."''
*''Alph: "If I integrate this device into the Drake's communication system, I should be able to boost our signal's strength!"''
*''Alph: "Looks like it's going to be an all nighter for me!"''
;More than 100 Pikmin in the field
*''"Just as the number of Pikmin in the field reached 100, the Onion stopped spitting out seeds."''
*''"The Pikmin inside the Onion seem to be increasing in number."''
*''"Apparently, once the surface population reached 100, new Pikmin are born inside the Onion."''
*''"This means that a maximum of 100 Pikmin can be active outside the Onion at any one time."''
;Onions merge
*''"Wow! They merged!"''
*''"Well, well... So two Onions can combine into one..."''
*''"Very interesting! I'll have to make a note of this."''
;Morning after Brittany's rescue and fruit is recovered
*''Alph: "We've finally discovered edible matter!"''
*''Brittany: "Yes! And after careful analysis, my conclusion is that the fruit juice... is delicious!"''
*''Alph: "I've never tasted anything like it on Koppai!"''
*''Brittany: "There's got to be more where that came from. Let's focus our efforts on finding as much as we can!"''
*''Alph: "But don't forget the cosmic drive key! It's no use finding fruit if we can't get it back to Koppai."''
*''Brittany: "Right! Gathering food and locating the cosmic drive key. That should be more than enough to keep us busy."''
*''Alph: "And, err, don't forget the Captain. We need to rescue him as well!"''
*''Brittany: "The Captain? Oh yeah. He almost slipped my mind."''
*''Brittany: "Well I guess we can pick him up along the way."''
;Regarding the mysterious signal in the [[Distant Tundra]]
*''Brittany: "What's that signal coming from over there?"''
*''Alph: "It has to be the Captain! Let's hurry up and rescue him!"''
*''Brittany: "...Good idea. He might be hogging all the fruit to himself."''
;Brittany exits cave
*''Brittany: "Phew! It's good to be outside again. I was getting claustrophobic in that cave!"''
*''Brittany: "Hey, there's Alph! And the S.S. Drake is there, too!"''
*''Brittany: "Alph! I'm over here!"''
*''Alph: "Ah, Brittany! Thank goodness you're OK!"''
*''Alph: "I see you're on the other side of the river!"''
*''Alph: "Our first priority is to reunite, so let's work together! Press Y when you want to hand over control!"''
*''Brittany: "Got it!"''
*''Brittany: "This place is absolutely freezing! If we stay too long, I'm afraid we're going to die of exposure."''
*''Brittany: "That is, if we don't die of starvation first."''
*''Alph: "Hey Brittany!"''
*''Alph: "Did you find something interesting over there?"''
*''Brittany: "Yes, actually! A new type of Pikmin!"''
*''Alph: "Really?!"''
*''Brittany: "Yep, they're yellow and have big ears!"''
*''Alph: "Wow! I want to meet them too!"''
*''Brittany: "OK!"''
*''Brittany: "I'll have to find a place where I can throw them across to you."''
;Pikmin's path is abstructed
*''"The Pikmin seem to be having problems carrying their load back. I'd better do something...''"
;Finds soft dirt
*''"This dirt looks pretty soft..."''
*''"Maybe we can dig through it..."''
 
;Morning after crash in the [[Distant Tundra]]
*''"I can't shake the idea that the S.S. Drake's crash was my fault..."''
*''"Anyway, there's work to be done! First I need to reunite with Brittany, then we can look for the Captain."''
;Finished bridge to Brittany
*''"That's as far as I can build!"''
*''"The rest is up to Brittany!"''
;Finds [[Bomb Rock|bomb rock]]
*''"I've found a peculiar rock with a powerful energy emanating from it."''
*"''I'll keep the Pikmin that's carrying it separate from the others, and then use C/L to select it.''"

==Trivia==
* Alph was the only character playable in the E3 2012 ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' demo.
* Alph is also short for "Alpha", the term used for the letter A in the phoenetic alphabet. This makes sense as Charlie is also used for letter C in the military alphabet; the initial of his name is also the same letter of his prototype name (Character A), just like [[Charlie]] and [[Brittany]].
*Alph is the Technical expert of the crew, which is explained by his grandfather designing the S.S. Drake.
*According to Brittany's fruit notes, Alph is allergic to the [[Heroine's Tear]] (a mango), and the [[Scaly Custard]] (an avocado).
*Alph grew up with his grandfather, Drake.
*Alph has 12 older brothers, a big sister and a little brother.
*Alph is addressed by the name "Alphie" by Brittany on multiple occasions, possibly meaning that Brittany cares about Alph.
