Quotes

Pokémon X and Y

Kalos Power Plant

• First meeting

"If you're just interested in the facts, I'd say we already have enough energy to power the device."

"What other work do you mean? Perhaps you mean taking out that annoying little Pokémon Trainer over there?"

"Ah ha ha! It would be my pleasure. Come on, little Trainer! Let's see what you've got!"

• Before battle

"Allow me to introduce myself, intruder. My name is Aliana. As you can see, I'm one of Team Flare's Scientists. I'm researching a certain something that you wouldn't understand, anyway. Unfortunately for you, I've been charged with the simple task of your elimination."

• Being defeated

"You're quite strong. Oh yes--very strong, indeed."

• After being defeated

"Ah ha ha! Well, I certainly didn't expect you to be so interesting! I do hope we can meet again!"

Lysandre Labs

• Before battle

"Ah ha ha! Why, if it isn't that fascinating little Trainer from the Kalos Power Plant. So we meet again, just as I said we would!"

• Being defeated

"You sure are an interesting Trainer. You're far more capable than our useless Grunts."

• After being defeated

"I don't have the key, but I'll let you pass. But which warp panel could it be? Which one cooould it be?"

• If talked to again

"I had fun at the Kalos Power Plant. Of course, we could have generated electricity with Team Flare's technology, too, you know. We just didn't think it justified the cost. To create a world for us and us alone, we have to play it smart, you see."

Aliana in the anime

Aliana debuted in the anime in From A to Z!. She was seen at Lysandre Labs with Bryony when Xerosic informed that she would be tasked with capturing 50% Zygarde, which Mable had recently failed to accomplish.

Aliana briefly appeared in Meeting at Terminus Cave! in a video call with Xerosic, where she and Mable got ordered to head to Z2 after Team Flare found out its location thanks to their sensors.

She reappeared in An Explosive Operation!, where she, Mable and several Team Flare Grunts were trying to capture Z2. When she and Mable ordered their Pokémon, Druddigon and Weavile, to attack Z2, it transformed into its 10% Forme and used its powerful attacks to blow Team Flare away and managed to escape. She and Mable quickly managed to catch up to it, only to face Team Rocket, who wanted Z2 for themselves. Thanks to Team Rocket, Z2 managed to escape once again. Team Flare, however, quickly found them and a battle between both took place. After a prolonged struggle, Team Flare emerged victorious and managed to corner Z2. This, however, triggered Z2 to transform to its 50% Forme and easily blew Aliana and the others back. As Z2 was about to finish them off, Alain and his Charizard interfered and battled Z2 to buy her and Mable time. While Z2 was battling, she and Mable surprised it by shooting it with their laser guns, finally bringing it down and captured it, completing their mission.

Pokémon

		Druddigon
		Druddigon is Aliana's only known Pokémon. It first appeared in An Explosive Operation!, where it was seen attacking Zygarde alongside Mable's Weavile. When Z2 transformed to its 10% Forme, it was easily beaten back. It was later used twice against Team Rocket to try to retrieve Z2. While it failed to defeat their Pokémon the first time it succeeded the second time and managed to corner Z2. It, however, was blown back once more when Z2 transformed to its 50% Forme. After Z2 was brought down, Druddigon and Weavile were used to blast Team Rocket off. Druddigon's only known moves are Dragon Pulse and Slash.

Aliana in Pokémon Adventures

Aliana makes her first appearance in the X & Y arc. She, along with Mable, was tasked with leading a group of Team Flare Grunts known as Team B. They travel to Vaniville Town to attack X and steal the Mega Ring he has in his possession. Upon arriving at X's house, they burn it down and trap X into a corner. Y comes in and tries to save her friend, only for Mable's Houndoom to easily defeat her. Before it can finish Y off, X's Kanga saves Y, though she gets badly hurt by Aliana's Pyroar. With Kanga down, Aliana has her Pyroar grab X and begin dragging him away. X's baby Kangaskhan, Li'l Kanga, sees this and reacts to X's Mega Ring, allowing her to Mega Evolve into a Mega Kangaskhan. Li'l Kanga easily defeats Aliana and Mable's Pokémon, forcing them to retreat.

At Aquacorde Town, Aliana and Mable attack X's group while they stay at an inn. By having a fellow Team Flare member keep the other four inside the inn, the duo attack X's Kanga while he's alone and kidnap Li'l Kanga. After Y manages to escape, she informs X of what is going on. X attempts to use Mega Evolution to defeat them once again, but it fails since Li'l Kanga is separated from her mother. X instead uses Chespin to battle and defeat Aliana and Mable by pinning them to a tree with Pin Missile and rescues Li'l Kanga.

After escaping, Aliana and Mable head back to the Team Flare Secret HQ. There, they are informed by Xerosic that their repeated failures have led to their mission being given to Team A.

Later, Aliana, Mable, and Celosia all watch as X and Emma attempt to infiltrate the Team Flare Secret HQ via the building's security camera. When they notice Celosia's strange behavior from overusing the power of her Pokémon, Bryony arrives and has the two return to their usual stations. After the ultimate weapon is stopped by X and his friends, Aliana and Mable help Bryony up after her defeat by Y's Xerxer.

When Xerosic battles X and his friends on the way to Pokémon Village, Aliana, Mable, Celosia, and Bryony all watch via a tablet device. When it looks like Xerosic is about to be defeated, they decide to go down to assist him. Upon arriving in the area, the scientists find X's friends having gone on ahead to the Pokémon Village and decide to pick them off individually. Aliana picks Y as her opponent and the two begin battling.

Pokémon

		Diggersby
		Diggersby is Aliana's second known Pokémon. It was first used in Aquacorde Town, where it took Li'l Kanga from Kanga's pouch to be used as a hostage. It was used to battle against X and Chespin, where it used its ears to cause powerful damage. After rescuing Li'l Kanga, Chespin exploited Diggersby's strength to free X's friends and defeated it with a powerful headbutt, knocking Diggersby to the ground. Later, it was used to fight Y's Croaky on the route to Pokémon Village. Diggersby's only known move is Mud Shot.

		Pyroar ♀
		Pyroar is Aliana's first known Pokémon. She was first used to burn down X's house in order to steal his Mega Ring. She defeated X's Kanga, only to be defeated by X's Li'l Kanga after it Mega Evolved into Mega Kangaskhan. It was later revealed that Pyroar was actually borrowed from Malva, who took it back after returning to active duty. None of Pyroar's moves are known.
