Yan

He is a major character in *Rise and Fall*.

Normal form

## **Physical Appearance**

Yan usually assumes the Mega Mewtwo Y form, with large red eyes, purple, bulbous digits, and the long "head" tail with the curled tip. He has two scars on his left side and another on his right shoulder from the fight with Xesha. As a regular Mewtwo, he gains an actual tail and a tube behind his neck, a breastplate on his chest, and loses the purple on his fingers and toes. However, he retains his red eyes (which now have black pupils). He also wears a red armband with his Mewtwonite Y on his right arm.

### **Chapter 17: Changing Times**

As Lucille runs home from school to tell her parents she's decided to quit after her latest transgression, she briefly glimpses Yan flying above the nearby woods. The girl hears Tia crying out Mewtwo moments later and panics, thinking that Yan is going to attack her sister. She heads into the woods, using her new Lucario abilities to pick up Yan's aura and follow his trail, and stops at the edge of a large clearing. There, she finds Yan with his back towards her curiously looking down at Tia. Lucille becomes even more frightened when Yan slowly approaches Tia and bursts into the clearing. She runs toward the Mewtwo and hollers at him to get away, calling him a monster. She rushes in front of Tia to shield her and snarls at Yan to leave her sister alone. Taken aback at Lucille's aggressive attitude, Yan stares at her, speechless, until they both hear Eve calling his name. He looks in the direction his mother's voice came from, and gives Lucille one last glance before flying away.

Later on, when Lucille and Tia arrive home, the former commands the latter not to breathe a word to anyone about the encounter. Tia questions why, stating that Yan didn't look angry when he approached her. Infuriated at hearing this, Lucille slaps her sister across the face, calling her a fool and snapping that Yan could have killed her. She tells Tia that Yan is a Pokémon, and to never think of Pokémon as friends, declaring that every one of them is a monster. Upset but knowing better than to argue, Tia complies and promises not to tell anyone about Yan, or seek him out.

### **Chapter 35: You Again?!**

Xesha runs across the grassland in Gorak's territory after he released her and sees Yan flying above her. She panics upon remembering her and Tia's encounter with him as a human on her homeworld and flees on all fours into the woods, hoping he didn't spot her.

A while later, Xesha is trekking through the woods and emerges into a rocky clearing to find Yan standing there. He looks at her directly, causing her to panic and launch an Aura Sphere at him. Yan avoids the attack, and Xesha follows it up with Flamethrower, which makes a direct hit and knocks him to the ground. The impact sends up a large dust cloud, allowing Xesha to climb on top of the nearest rock formation. She watches as the dust clears and Yan gets up, groaning, having suffered a burn from the Flamethrower. Xesha hides on top of the rocks while keeping an eye on Yan, who starts looking for her. He walks around for a bit, then turns and flies away to recover from his burn. Xesha watches him out of sight and sighs in relief.
