Jan (XYS05)

(Japanese: ジャン Jan) is a character of the day who appeared in SS036.

Jan first appeared when he was talking to Aira on a cliff on the edge of nearby town. After they finished talking and Jan rode off on his Gogoat, an Yveltal appeared behind Aira. Jan tried to fight the Yveltal and sent his Talonflame to attack it with Flame Charge, but Yveltal countered the attack by using Oblivion Wing at Talonflame. The attack turned Talonflame to stone, which caused it to fall from the sky to the ground below. Jan then went to attack Yveltal with his bow and arrow, only for Yveltal to use Oblivion Wing on him as well. But right before it hit him Aira jumped in and took the attack, which also turned her to stone. After this, Jan fell off the cliff as Yveltal to the sky. Yveltal turned the entire surrounding area to stone, except for Jan and his Gogoat. Jan fell to his knees in grief of losing Aira but right at this moment, a woman named Magica and her two Meowstic appeared. She told him about a Pokémon called Xerneas, which, contrary to Yveltal, had the ability to give life to things that had turned to stone or had lost any sign of life.

Jan then sought out Xerneas, in order to revitalise his town and save Aira. On his path he came across a wild Scatterbug that was weak, before coming across an old man who had three other Scatterbug. The man told him about where Xerneas was, and Jan continued to travel to his destination with this new information. After some time, Jan arrived in a place where a king, his servants, and soldiers were all carrying lit torches and were ready to burn Xerneas, which was currently in its tree state. As they set light to the tree, Jan appeared on the scene and ordered them to stop the burning. They refused to listen however, and as the tree was burning, a group of Zygarde Cell gathered nearby. The Zygarde formed into a Zygarde 50% Forme and attacked the soldiers, servants and their Pokémon for trying to kill Xerneas.

After Zygarde's attack, its Cells separated and spread to different locations and then Xerneas turned into its normal state. Witnessing this, Jan tried to talk Xerneas into helping him, but Xerneas did not listen and ran off. After this incident, Jan traveled back to his hometown and tried to revitalise the land himself by planting seeds. At the same time, he started engraving information about each of the three Legendary Pokémon that he encountered. One night while writing down this information, Xerneas appeared before him. Sensing how dedicated he was about revitalising the land, the Life Pokémon used Geomancy, turning the town's barren landscape back to life.

Jan then stayed by Aira's statue as he grew older by his Gogoat's side and then one day, a girl approached him, who was curious about what he wad doing. He then went on explain his story to her.
