Lawrence III (Japanese: ジラルダン Jirarudan, Gelarden is also seen) is a collector, appearing in The Power of One. He is often referred to as being a "Pokémon collector", but there is no evidence he ever had a Pokémon before the events of the movie. His Japanese voice actor is 鹿賀丈史 Takeshi Kaga, and his English voice actor is Neil Stuart.
He travels in the 飛行宮 Hikōkyū (an airship the size of a small city, the name means "Flying Palace") and gathers artifacts from the world over. Despite the scope of his collection, he is rather shortsighted about the world around him. His entire plan to capture Lugia reflects this, as it involves the disruption of powerful natural forces.
What we know of his past is limited to the first object in his collection -- an Ancient Mew card. Also, his mother is deceased.
The origin of his peculiar Japanese name is most likely from French philosopher and Stanford University professor René Girard, whose theories link problems in the modern world to legends and religious stories in the ancient world. Those who follow Girard's theories are known as "Girardins".
His English name is up for debate. The closed captioning in the movie calls him Gelarden, but the official English book of the movie calls him Lawrence III.
He has a brief appearance in Pokémon Heroes; during the end credits, a photo of him is seen in a book, along with a photo of his ship.
