### History

#### Pre-series

Lana lives with her mother, father, and younger twin sisters Harper and Sarah. Prior to enrolling at the Pokémon School, Lana first met Mallow when they were younger and instantly became best friends, after they had an adventure together in a forest and met a resident Drampa, which was eventually nicknamed Grandpa Forest.

Years later, Lana rescued a wild Popplio from being harassed by a gang of Team Skull Grunts and nursed it back to health at a Pokémon Center. Immediately afterwards, the two became good friends and partners.

### *Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon*

Lana debuted in *Alola to New Adventure!*, where she met Ash and Pikachu while fishing with Popplio on a Poké Ride Lapras. She and Ash met again at the Pokémon School, where Ash decided to join her class to study the Pokémon of Alola under their teacher Professor Kukui.

In *The Guardian's Challenge!*, Lana participated in the surprise welcome party her class threw for Ash to celebrate his enrollment into the school. She challenged Ash to a Pokémon swimming contest as his third "surprise", which Popplio won due to its superior swimming ability. She later bore witness to Ash and Pikachu's battle against Tapu Koko, the guardian deity of Melemele.

In *Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!*, Lana received help from Ash while training Popplio how to blow human-sized water balloons, revealing her dream to one day use them to explore the ocean depths and discover new undersea Pokémon. She was also chosen to give a class lecture on sea Pokémon, loaning Ash a fishing rod at her house and introducing him to her sisters. During the lecture, the class's Ride Pokémon were caught in a net by Team Rocket, who infuriated Lana with their disregard for the other Pokémon they had inadvertently caught. Together with Ash, she was able to bring the captured Pokémon to safety by using Popplio's water balloons.

In *Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!*, Lana found a Sparkling Stone during one of her treasure hunts with a Poké Ride Stoutland on Akala Island. Olivia took it and turned it into a Z-Ring for Lana.

In *Big Sky, Small Fry!*, Lana took part in a trial at Brooklet Hill where she earned a Waterium Z from battling a Totem Wishiwashi with Popplio. Near the end of the episode, Olivia gave the Z-Ring to Lana, which she had just successfully converted from the Sparkling Stone.

In *Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!*, Lana and Popplio were practicing their Z-Move at the beach with Ash and Mallow, but were unsuccessful. Nearby, they noticed a crowd watching a performer named Ida with her Brionne. Lana was intrigued and insisted Ida to be her tutor. They then trained for days. One day when they were out in the sea looking for treasure with Ida and Kanoa, they got in trouble with a Dhelmise. Lana and Popplio then attempted Hydro Vortex again and succeeded, defeating the anchor Pokémon in the process.

From *Family Determination!* to *10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!*, Lana was among those who helped Lillie and Gladion in their mission to rescue their mother Lusamine after Lusamine was kidnapped by the Ultra Beast Nihilego. In Ultra Deep Sea, her Popplio, along with Ash's Litten and Rowlet, and Mallow and Sophocles's Pokémon, fought and overcame Lusamine's Mismagius, Milotic, and Lilligant, which were under Nihilego's control. During the battle, Lana and Popplio used Hydro Vortex on Mismagius. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt to defeat Nihilego, freeing Lusamine from its grasp.

In *The Professors' New Adventure!*, Lana attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet. During the post-nuptials, Lusamine asked Lana and her classmates to join the Ultra Guardians, a task force dedicated to dealing with any upcoming Ultra Beast incidents, which they accepted.
