Keanan (Japanese:ケンゾーKenzo) is a recurring character inPokémon the Series: XY. He is awarden who watches over theRoute 14 wetlands located betweenLumiose City andLaverre City that is the original home ofAsh's Goodra.

History

Keanan first appeared inDefending the Homeland!, where he was driving down the road with hisBellsprout, stopping to meetAsh andhis friends after recognizingAsh's Goodra. He explained that Goodra was once aGoomy who lived in the wetlands, but was driven out following a Pokémon feud over a healing spring by aFlorges and her army. Goodra's other friends were revealed to still be living in the wetlands, though now relegated to a remote corner. Keanan refused to interfere, stating that matters between Pokémon should be solved by Pokémon themselves. As such, he stopped Ash from helping Goodra when the Florges and her army attacked again. He did, however, approve of Ash and his friends cheering Goodra on.

When Goodra was mysteriously attacked and badly hurt by aShadow Ball and aPsybeam coming out of nowhere, Keanan treated Goodra back at his house. He then went through video footage withClemont to deduce where the Shadow Ball and Psybeam attacks had come from.

InBeyond the Rainbow!, Keanan met up with Ash and his friends when they went into the swamp to search forPikachu,Dedenne, andWooper, who had been abducted. Keanan told Clemont that there was something that had been bothering him for a while and thus would not go search with them. Keanan had studied the water levels of the healing spring and discovered it had been affected by an unknown source. He quickly went to Ash and his friends to alert them, only to find out that the culprits,Team Rocket, were already taking off with the water. After Ash and his friends defeated Team Rocket, Keenan checked the ground of the wetlands and concluded it had completely dried up. As such, it would never be as ideal for Pokémon to live at as it had been. Just at that moment, Goodra stepped forward and usedRain Dance, followed by Florges, who had switched allegiances, usingGrassy Terrain. This caused the swamp to become lush again. Afterwards, Florges and her former army decided to live together with the other Pokémon. Keanan was also present when Ash released Goodra for it to live with its friends again and defend the wetlands.

InMaster Class Is in Session! andPerforming a Pathway to the Future!, Keanan watchedSerena's Master ClassPokémon Showcase fromGloire City alongside Goodra and the other swamp Pokémon.

He reappeared inA Diamond in the Rough!.

InValuable Experience for All!, Keanan drove Goodra toLumiose City, where it rejoined Ash's party for theLumiose Conference. He watched the Conference unfold from his television inDown to the Fiery Finish!. The group caught up with Keanan again inFacing the Needs of the Many!, where Ash returned Goodra to the wetlands following his Kalos League campaign.

Character

Keanan is compassionate, preferring to remain neutral and not to intervene with thewild Pokémon he watches over. He is equipped to handle any situation, and uses a surveillance network and regular patrols to keep watch over the wetlands.

Pokémon

On hand

Bellsprout
Keanan's Bellsprout

Bellsprout is Keanan's only known Pokémon. It was good friends withAsh's Goodra when it was still aGoomy and before it was accidentally taken away from the swamp.

Keanan was driving down the road with Bellsprout when they drove pastAsh andhis friends taking a break. Even though Goomy had evolved twice since Bellsprout had last seen it, Bellsprout still instantly recognized it. It ran towardsGoodra and they greeted each other happily. Although Goodra seemed somewhat hesitant to return to the swamp it used to live, it was persuaded by Bellsprout to go.

Bellsprout made a brief appearance inMaster Class Is in Session! andPerforming a Pathway to the Future!, watching Serena's Master ClassPokémon Showcase along with Keanan and the other wetland Pokémon.

It reappeared inA Diamond in the Rough! and then again inValuable Experience for All!.

None of Bellsprout's moves are known.

Main article:Ash's Goodra

Goodra was once a Goomy that happily lived in a swamp together with many other Pokémon. However, one day aFlorges and her army attacked and took over their land. Florges came up to Goomy and attacked it. This caused it to be swept away, landing on the back of aSwanna and carried away from its homeland.

InA Slippery Encounter!, it fell of the Swanna and metAsh andhis friends. It bonded with Ash and was caught by him. During its time with Ash, Goomy evolved twice. InDefending the Homeland! it finally returned to its homeland. It was reunited with its old friends and together, with help from Ash and his friends, they stood up against Florges, her army andTeam Rocket and were ultimately victorious. However, during the battle, Goodra and its friends realized that Florges wasn't truly evil as they believed she was and her only motive was saving her daughter, Floette. When Team Rocket drained the swamp, Goodra and Florges revived it withRain Dance andGrassy Terrain and the spring water returned. Once Floette was fully recovered, Florges and Goodra made amends and all is forgiven. Goodra then chose to leave Ash and stay at its homeland.

Main article:Florges (anime)

At first,Florges seemed like an evil Pokémon that drove Pokémon that lived peacefully in a swamp away for no particular reason. Some time beforeDefending the Homeland!, she managed to take overGoodra's homeland and swept away Goodra, who was then still a Goomy. In her conquest she was backed by a large army of strong Pokémon. The real reason why she had driven away Goomy and its friend was not revealed until later. She was taking care of her daughterFloette who was very ill, and the swamp Goomy and its friends lived in contained a spring with healing water.

She had also met withTeam Rocket, who told Florges lies about Goodra and its friends and claimed they would help her in making Floette better. However, whenAsh andBonnie infiltrated the spring, Team Rocket revealed their true motives. They had really been planning on draining the spring and selling the rare healing water. Because of that, they were also indirectly responsible for Floette not getting better. From then on, she sided with Ash and Goodra and took down Team Rocket's airship. After they defeated Team Rocket however, the swamp had completely dried up. To make the swamp lush again, Goodra usedRain Dance, followed by Florges usingGrassy Terrain. The healing water returned, and Florges bathed Floette in it to make it better. Afterwards, she continued to live in the swamp in peace together with her former army, Floette, Goodra, and the swamp's original inhabitants.

Floette

Floette isFlorges's daughter.

Because of an unknown reason, she had become very ill. Florges cared so much for her that she conquered a swamp where a group of Pokémon lived peacefully just so she could access the spring with healing water located in the swamp. Florges tried to heal Floette in the water, but the tide had become low becauseTeam Rocket was secretly draining the spring, causing the healing effect to be insufficient. Florges later sided with Goodra to defeat Team Rocket and together they brought back life to the spring. Bathed in the fresh healing water, Floette quickly became better. Following this, she jumped up and brought Florges and Goodra together, to celebrate that they had become friends. Afterwards, she continued to live in the swamp in peace together with Florges and her former army, Goodra, and the swamp's original inhabitants.
