(Japanese: ジャービス Jarvis) is the main antagonist of Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel. He is a minister of the Azoth Kingdom.

History

As a cabinet minister of the Azoth Kingdom, Jarvis is knowledgable in the art of Mystery Science and the history of the kingdom. For several years he educated Racel, the young prince of the kingdom, who also had interests in these subjects. However, unbeknownst to many — save for Chymia, Racel's sister, who does not trust him and is suspicious of his motives — he is actually a corrupt man plotting to seize control of the Azoth Kingdom for himself. For this purpose, Jarvis brainwashed Racel into loyalty to him, and developed his own type of Mystery Science — dubbed "Neo Mystery Science" — in order to create a technique called "Mega Wave," which, unlike Mega Evolution, can force many Pokémon to Mega Evolve at once and follow the orders of those with Mega Wave devices.

Jarvis first appears when his henchmen, Dohga and Ether, deliver Magearna to him and Racel after fighting off an attack by Volcanion. While Racel introduces himself to Magearna, he waits quietly until Volcanion returns with Ash in tow. Using the Mega Wave jewel set in his staff, he attacks them with a Mega Alakazam, Mega Glalie and Shiny Mega Gengar. After a short standoff, Volcanion escapes with both Ash and Magearna, angering him. Shortly afterward, Dohga, Ether and the Pokémon catch Team Rocket sneaking into the castle. Jarvis meets with Team Rocket in his office, and sensing an opportunity after realizing they know Ash well, recruits them to aid his cause. He supplies them with Mega Wave bracelets along with a Heracross and Pinsir, then tracks Ash, his friends, Volcanion and Magearna's location so he can send Team Rocket after them.

Later, after Team Rocket fail in their mission, Jarvis personally leads a massive attack against the Nebel Plateau, Magearna and Volcanion's home. He traps Ash, Volcanion and many of the Pokémon of the plateau in machines that torture them with electrical currents. When Dohga and Ether demand that Magearna surrender to them in exchange for the safety of the hostages, it gives in and boards their airship. Racel becomes excited about their success, but Jarvis simply has his Gengar paralyze Magearna and open the hatch on its chest, revealing its Soul-Heart. Realizing that Jarvis intends to remove the Soul-Heart, Racel tries to stop him from doing so. Undeterred, Jarvis has Dohga force Racel to watch as he removes the Soul-Heart — effectively "killing" Magearna — then discards its body before having his army of Pokémon all use Hyper Beam, seemingly killing all of the humans and Pokémon below, and putting the horrified Racel to sleep with Gengar's Hypnosis. En route back to the Azoth Kingdom, Meowth realizes he can still hear Magearna's voice alive in the Soul-Heart, rallying Jessie and James to try and take it back from Jarvis, who blasts off Jessie and James while holding Meowth hostage to continue translating Magearna's voice.

Jarvis installs the Soul-Heart in a machine at the heart of the kingdom's castle, transforming it into a flying fortress designed by Éliphas to defend the city in ancient times. When he realizes that his enemies survived his attack at the plateau and are approaching aboard Chymia's flying machine, he becomes excited to test the weapons the castle has on them. He begins charging the fortress's laser cannon, but it does not fire, as Magearna is actively fighting his control. Jarvis fortifies himself inside the control room while Dohga and Ether go out to fight off the attackers with their army of Mega Wave Pokémon, but Ash, Greninja, Chymia, her Mega Gardevoir and Volcanion manage to break through and reach him. He traps them in the same electrical torture machines he used earlier, then decides to break Magearna's spirit by forcing it with Gengar's Mean Look to use the laser and destroy the Nebel Plateau. The act of destroying its home causes Magearna's soul to fade from the Soul-Heart, pleasing Jarvis, who then orders another shot to finish off both the plateau and all its residents. It fires, but is blocked through a combination of the efforts of the plateau's Pokémon and Squishy, who briefly takes its Complete Forme to overpower the attack. Volcanion then breaks itself and the others free from the machines. Panicking, Jarvis orders Gengar to attack, but Pikachu counters its Shadow Ball with Electro Ball. Jarvis drops his staff as a result of the blowback from Electro Ball, and Ash jams it into the machinery, breaking the Mega Wave jewel. As a result, all the Mega Wave Pokémon revert to their original states and escape from the fortress. Realizing that his plans are destroyed as a result of Ash removing the Soul-Heart, Jarvis locks the fortress on a collision course with the Nebel Plateau in hopes of destroying it and killing all of his enemies, then attempts to escape using a jetpack. Greninja, who has become Ash-Greninja, throws a Water Shuriken at him, which fails to directly connect but still disables his jetpack, causing him to spiral out of control into the forest below.

During the film's credits, Chymia finds him stuck in a tree and arrests him using the same magnetic bands used earlier on Ash and Volcanion. He attempts to flee, but is pulled back onto her craft by the magnets.

Character

Jarvis is one of the few characters in the Pokémon anime to be portrayed as purely evil with no redeeming characteristics. Sadistic and power-hungry, he shows little regard for any lives other than his own, human or Pokémon. He spent years grooming Racel to be loyal to him, and enlisted Team Rocket for their help against Ash, only to drop them without a second thought once they were of no more use to him. His sadistic traits even extend to flat-out torture; his Mega Wave technique causes terrible pain to the Pokémon it is used on, and he tried to force Magearna to destroy the Nebel Plateau purely to break its spirit so it wouldn't be able to resist his commands.

When defeated, however, Jarvis was also shown to be cowardly and spiteful. Upon his defeat, he programmed his flying castle to crash into the Nebel Plateau so it would kill all of his enemies, while he attempted to escape using a jetpack.
