Lana (Japanese: スイレン Suiren) is a student at the Pokémon School on Melemele Island and one of Ash's classmates. She made her debut in Alola to New Adventure!.
History
Lana is a student at Samson Oak's Pokémon School on Melemele Island, where she lives with her twin sisters, Harper and Sarah. At one point, she rescued a wild Popplio from being harassed by a gang of Team Skull Grunts and nursed it back to health at a Pokémon Center, where the two became good friends.
Lana debuted in Alola to New Adventure!, meeting Ash and Pikachu while fishing with Popplio on a 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. 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, which Olivia took, in order to turn it into a Z-Ring for Lana.
In Big Sky, Small Fry!, Lana took part in an trial at Brooklet Hill where she earned a Waterium Z from a Totem Solo Form Wishiwashi. Near the end of the episode, Olivia gave the Z-Ring to Lana, which was recently converted from the Sparkling Stone.
In SM040, 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 Ia with her Brionne. Lana was intrigued and insisted Ia to be her tutor. They then trained for days. One day when they were out in the sea looking for treasure with Ia 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.
Character
Lana is a calm and gentle girl who cares deeply for Pokémon, particularly Water-types. As such, she enjoys many seafaring activities such as fishing while riding on Lapras. While sincere most of the time, she also has a playful side, oftentimes telling outrageous jokes such as being able to catch Legendary Pokémon like Kyogre and that a Lugia was nearby. She is additionally shown to become aggravated and flustered when dealing with her unruly younger sisters. Her love for Pokémon runs deep to the point where she grows incensed at the sight of cruelty against Pokémon, speaking in a hushed tone of voice and shooting an icy glare towards the aggressors. She is highly protective of her Pokémon if they are in danger.
Lana is shown to be an expert at fishing as shown in Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!, where Professor Kukui had her teach the class on fishing and managed to hook several Pokémon quickly such as Alomomola, Corsola, Finneon and later surprised the Fishing Expert by quickly catching a Feebas.
She has been shown to get annoyed at her sisters and their antics but was concerned when she saw them jumping on the back of Kiawe's Turtonator for fear they would touch its spines.
She cares deeply for her Popplio, as shown in They Might Not Be Giants! when it becomes separated from her along with Rowlet, to the point where she has to drag Ash along when they go searching for their Pokémon.

This Lapras serves as Lana's Ride Pokémon. It was first seen in Alola to New Adventure!, where Lana rode on it while fishing. In Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!, it was seen in flashback being used to battle against some Team Skull Grunts that were bullying a wild Popplio. When not in use, it resides in the water next to Lana's house.
Lapras was used again in So Long, Sophocles! where Lana took Sophocles and Togedemaru out to sea so that they could see a Wailord breaching out of the water.
Lapras's only known move is Ice Beam.
Ride Pokémon
Lana used a Poké Ride Stoutland to hunt for treasure around Akala Island. At first, Stoutland was unresponsive to Lana and only interested in eating berries but after seeing how Lana was prepared to protect it and Popplio from a Garbodor, it helped Lana and found her a Z-Ring ore.
Stoutland's only known move is Giga Impact.
