Description
Aliana is a significant antagonist appearing in the anime Pokémon the Series: XY and XYZ as a scientist for the villainous organization Team Flare. She is part of the group's elite research division and is recognized by her distinctive orange hair, which she shares with her fellow scientists. Her typical attire consists of a red and white long-sleeved shirt, a small orange tie, a belt bearing the Team Flare logo, a short red and black skirt, red gloves, and high-heeled red and white boots. She also wears technologically advanced glasses that cover her eyes and orange lipstick.
In terms of personality, Aliana is portrayed as being very confident in her own abilities and holds a condescending attitude toward her colleagues when they fail to complete their assigned tasks. She is not above mocking the poor performance of other Team Flare scientists, such as when Mable and Celosia were unsuccessful in their missions to find the Zygarde cores known as Z-1 and Z-2. Her background with Team Flare is rooted in the organization's original goal of helping people who had been devastated, but after those people became arrogant and demanding, Aliana joined Lysandre and the other scientists in his disillusioned plan to destroy the flawed world and create a new one.
Aliana's primary role in the story revolves around the critical mission to capture the Zygarde creatures, which were essential to Team Flare's ultimate plan. After Mable failed to capture Z-2, Aliana was assigned to take over the task. She and Mable tracked down Z-2 and attempted to capture it using their Pokémon, but the creature transformed and fought back, temporarily escaping. Their pursuit brought them into conflict with Team Rocket, who also sought the creature for themselves, leading to a series of battles. Despite Team Rocket's interference, Aliana and Mable ultimately succeeded in cornering Z-2, which then transformed into its powerful 50% Forme and attacked them. With the assistance of Alain and his Mega Charizard X, Aliana and Mable managed to drain Z-2's energy using specialized laser weapons, finally capturing it.
Aliana has key relationships with the other Team Flare scientists, particularly Mable and Bryony, with whom she frequently works alongside. She and Bryony faced Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and the Blaziken Mask outside the Prism Tower during Team Flare's takeover of Lumiose City. In this confrontation, she battled the group with her Druddigon against Clemont's team. Despite her confidence, she and Bryony were ultimately defeated by Clemont's Pokémon, including Heliolisk, Luxray, Bunnelby, and Chespin. Following their defeat, Clembot tied them to the tower to prevent their escape. This defeat represents her main character development, as she transitions from a confident and successful operative to being neutralized by the heroes.
Aliana's notable abilities stem from her role as a Team Flare scientist. Her only known Pokémon in the anime is Druddigon, a powerful dragon-type Pokémon that she uses in battle. Druddigon was first seen attacking Zygarde alongside Mable's Weavile and later used against Team Rocket and the main characters during the Prism Tower siege. Beyond Pokémon battles, Aliana is also shown using advanced Team Flare technology, including laser guns capable of draining energy from powerful legendary Pokémon like Zygarde. She demonstrates persistence and resourcefulness in her missions, quickly regrouping and continuing pursuit even after initial setbacks.
