Baron Alberto (Japanese: アルベルト男爵 Baron Alberto) is a supporting character who appeared in The Rise of Darkrai.
In the anime

Alberto first appeared while Alice, Ash and his friends went investigating some severely twisted pillars in Godey's garden. He was adamant that Darkrai was behind the chaos and sought to prove his point.
During the events in the movie, he was transformed into his Lickilicky due to a combination of Darkrai's Dark Void and Palkia's interference with space. Lickilicky dreamed that it was Alberto and thus Alberto became Lickilicky. Angered by this, Alberto offered a reward to whoever could take down Darkrai and assembled a group of Trainers to deal with it. Later on he returned to his normal form when the effects of Dark Void faded.
Alberto appeared again during the ending credits of Arceus and the Jewel of Life. He was piloting his own hot air balloon and still attempting to win over Alice's heart. He also made a cameo appearance in I Choose You!, which is set in a timeline separate from the main series. He was seen with his Lickilicky in Alamos Town.
Character
Alberto is chauvinistic and vain. He was quick to take charge of the Darkrai situation, in the hopes of showing off his prowess. Even when proven wrong, the Baron maintained his sense of judgement and dismissed others objections. The extra attention from Team Rocket, who posed as a news crew, only inflated Alberto's ego.
He is particularly hostile towards Tonio and often insulted him, though this may be more to do with his strong love interest in Alice. Alberto openly declared that he wanted to marry Alice, though she remains uninterested and swats away his affection. However this doesn't seem to get in the way of his goal. When Alice admitted she wanted Tonio, Alberto just laughed thinking that her feelings for Tonio were a joke.

Lickilicky is Alberto's main Pokémon. It is first seen during Darkrai's first appearance when it tries to use Hyper Beam, but misses, resulting in Darkrai firing back a Dark Void which ends up hitting Ash. Later Lickilicky gets hit by Darkrai's Dark Void, causing it to fall into a nightmare. Due to Palkia's space disruption, this nightmare causes Baron Alberto to transform into Lickilicky. Team Rocket are later seen carrying Lickilicky while it was asleep. After Lickilicky wakes up it tries to save Alice from falling off a bridge but fails leaving Tonio to help her.
Lickilicky briefly reappeared in I Choose You!, which is set in a timeline separate from the main series.
Lickilicky's known moves are Hyper Beam, Gyro Ball, Lick, and Wrap*.

Trivia
- Alberto's name is likely a pun on the Japanese name of his Pokémon, causing him to be called "Baron Berobelt" (compare: アルベルト Aruberuto and ベロベルト Beroberuto) several times. He keeps his name in the dub and is called "Baron Lickilicky"; thus eliminating the pun. Adding to the joke, his overall appearance is based on a Lickilicky.
- Alberto is the second human in the anime to be transformed into a Pokémon after Ash.
- It can be assumed that Alberto's Lickilicky knows Wrap due to the Baron using in his Lickilicky form, which was caused by transforming into his Lickilicky. It can also be assumed that Baron Alberto knew Hyper Beam while a Lickilicky, due to his Lickilicky knowing it.
