(Japanese: アラン Alan) is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime. He is the main protagonist of the side story episodes Mega Evolution I and SS030. Alan is a Pokémon Trainer seeking to defeat all Mega Evolved Pokémon using his Mega Charizard X.

History

In the past he was Professor Sycamore's assistant, and it was Sycamore who initially inspired him to begin seeking Mega Stones in order to solve the mysteries of Mega Evolution. At this time Alan already owned a Charmander. Some time after leaving Professor Sycamore's laboratory, Charmander evolved twice and Alan managed to obtain a Mega Ring and a Charizardite X.

At one point, Alan battled a Trainer named Ayaka, and defeated her Mega Absol. The battle was secretly watched by Manon, a beginning Trainer who was sent out on a journey by Professor Sycamore. Manon was so impressed with his strength that she began following him. From Manon, Alan learned of a Trainer who leaped off of Prism Tower to save a Pokémon. Next, Alan received a call on his Holo Caster from a mysterious person, who directed him to a location with ruins to retrieve a Mega Stone. After getting the Mega Stone, Alan was confronted a Trainer named Louie who was also looking for the Mega Stone. Louie challenged him with a Mega Garchomp. Alan easily won the battle, and so kept the Mega Stone.

Afterwards he helped Manon capture a Flabébé. He then traveled with her to a restaurant where Elite Four member Siebold was working as a chef and challenged him to a battle, seemingly unaware that at the same time his Charizard's energy levels were being monitored by Lysandre. Charizard put up a good fight against Siebold's Blastoise, but when Blastoise Mega Evolved, it overwhelmed Charizard using a Mega Launcher-boosted Dragon Pulse. Accepting his defeat, Alan continued his journey to battle more Mega Evolved Pokémon and complete more assignments from a mysterious person, now with Manon as a traveling partner.

Character

Alan is shown to usually be focused on his goals, yet often exhibits aloof behavior and can wander off in thought. He at first seems to push others away from him, but he helped Manon capture Flabébé with hints on strategy. He does, however, have a close bond with his Charizard, and seems to be warming up to Manon's companionship.

During his time working at Professor Sycamore's lab, Alan was much more cheerful than he is in the present.

Pokémon

This listing is of Alan's known Pokémon in the anime:

Alan's Charmander

Alan's Charizard
Charmander → Charmeleon → Charizard ↔ Mega Charizard X
Charizard is Alan's only known Pokémon, which he has owned since it was a Charmander, when Alan was still one of Professor Sycamore's assistants. Thanks to Alan's Mega Ring and its Charizardite X, it can Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X.

Charizard battled Ayaka and her Mega Absol. As Mega Charizard X it managed to defeat Mega Absol with Blast Burn after a hard fight. It later battled Louie and his Mega Garchomp, but this also proved to be no match for Mega Charizard X. When Alan later battled Siebold of the Kalos Elite Four however, Mega Charizard X was overwhelmed by Siebold's Mega Blastoise and was defeated.

Charizard's known moves are Flamethrower, Steel Wing, Dragon Claw, and Blast Burn.
