'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}.


=In the anime=
==In the core series games==
[[Image:Maxielance.gif|right|200px|thumb|Lance and [[Maxie]].]]Lance is a [[Pokémon master]] famous in the [[Pokémon League]].  He is a member of an organization called the [[Pokémon G-Men]].
===Character profile===
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.


When [[Team Rocket]] started up an evil scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]], Lance showed up to investigate.  He met [[Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] there, saving the children from some formidable [[Rocket Grunts]].  Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous. Knocking out a Rocket and taking his clothes, he was able to infiltrate their base. Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a [[Alternate color|Red]] {{p|Gyarados}} so that they could learn how to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Lance was able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Ash was able to calm the Red Gyarados at first, but it continued to go berserk.  Finally, Lance caught it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]].
He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and Pokémon that are dragon-like in appearance, which are both hard to catch and raise, and prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.


[[Image:Lance4.JPG|thumb|left|220px|Lance as seen in ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]]]''Lance later appeared again in [[Hoenn]], where he infiltrated [[Team Magma]] and helped stop the rampage of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.
Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan following and seems to like capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].


His Japanese voice actor is 千葉進歩 ''Susumu Chiba'', his English voice actor is [[Wayne Grayson]] and his Brazilian Portuguese voice actors are [[Francisco Freitas]] (Johto League), [[Celso Alves]] (Hoenn League).
Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].


[[Marina (Legend of Thunder)|Marina]] is a great fan of Lance's, prompting her to call him Fabu-Lance, though this may have just been to match up the movement of her mouth (''Wataru'' has three syllables, while ''Lance'' has one).
In the Generation II games and their [[remake]]s, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]], where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Afterwards, he appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the [[HM]] for {{m|Whirlpool}} for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans. In the remakes, he also teams up with the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Ariana]] during these events. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he and Clair can also be faced in another Multi Battle at [[Dragon's Den]] during the post-game.


==Pokémon==
In {{B2W2}}, Lance represents Johto at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], taking part in the [[Champions Tournament]].
This is a list of Lance's known Pokémon.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, [[Professor Kukui]] reveals that he challenged Lance at one point, with [[Pokémon Masters EX]] specifying that {{mas|Lance}} was the [[Indigo League]] Champion at that time. The end result of their battle is unknown, however.

[[File:Lance PG.png|250px|thumb|Lance in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Lance first appeared in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]''. He was first seen talking about {{ga|Blue}}, the first {{pkmn|Trainer}} in a long time to collect eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s, with the rest of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], and he instructed his colleagues to prepare themselves for the upcoming challenger. Later, he was the last of the Elite Four to be challenged by Blue. After a heated battle, Blue's {{p|Blastoise}} defeated Lance's {{p|Dragonite}} off-screen, making Blue the new Pokémon League Champion.
 
Lance reappeared in ''[[PG04|The Lake of Rage]]''. He and {{ga|Ethan}} were seen infiltrating the [[Team Rocket HQ]] in [[Mahogany Town]], destroying the radio wave generator and ruining [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to force Pokémon to evolve.

====History====
;Indigo Plateau - Pokémon Journal
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
:Family and friends?
Lance was briefly seen in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' with his fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.
:Lance's grandfather is thought to be the elder of a famous clan of dragon masters.
 
;Indigo Plateau - Young Man
====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
:Family and friends?
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner, then attacked and destroyed Vermilion City, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him, he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei, but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.
:From what I've heard, Lance has a cousin who's a Gym Leader somewhere far away.
 
He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo, they could only battle together for about three minutes, and with time running out, Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls, only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle began.
 
[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow, as both of them were equally matched, Lance lured the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him. The Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals. Still, Yellow's Pokémon could drive Lugia away once they evolved, and Yellow could channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.
 
=====Prior to {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating {{p|Lugia}} and working behind the scenes. As seen in a flashback in ''[[PS159|Returning Pupitar]]'', he gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a {{p|Pupitar}}.
 
====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
{{adv|Silver}} eventually returned Lance's {{p|Pupitar}}, now evolved as a {{p|Tyranitar}}, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio. In ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]'', it was revealed that he and Clair shared the same grandparents, but Lance's father had moved to [[Viridian City]] and married a woman there.
 
====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=====
In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', it was revealed that Lance looked into the mind of [[Silver's Sneasel]] for clues regarding Silver's roots, but to no avail.
 
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to discover what happened to its Trainer.
 
Gold encounters an injured Lance thereafter chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and couldn't meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not connect with Arceus until he can connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.
 
As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.
 
It is later revealed that when Lance went to find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how a coward like Petrel defeated Lance, who reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.
 
====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently, also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to communicate with Pokémon and heal their wounds telepathically. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Lance brainwashes the Dragonair during the contest, and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados, were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

As a result, it fled from Lance.

After finding out that Ariana and Petrel were responsible for the incident in the Lake of Rage, Lance has a Tag Battle with them with Jō as his partner. Lance and Jō manage to defeat them with Dragonite's {{m|Twister}}. Lance is revealed to become the Champion of the Pokémon League and battles Jō, and Jō single-handedly defeats him with Totodile.

While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang were on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.


==Pokémon==
Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons he threw. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals how he met Lance, but the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance runs off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.
* In Round 2 of the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Lance's {{p|Feraligatr}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} both hold [[Quick Claw]]s, despite the Item Clause being in effect in battles with him. The international versions correct this by having Feraligatr hold a [[Mystic Water]] instead.
* In every game in which he is fought except for {{B2W2}}, Lance uses at least one Pokémon that knows the move {{m|Hyper Beam}} during both his initial fight and his rematch.
** In addition to Black 2 and White 2, [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the only other games in which Hyper Beam is not known by every member of Lance's party.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}}, which was made prior to Yellow, shows artwork of him with purple hair.
* With the exception of {{B2W2}}, all of Lance's teams feature just as many if not more {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, despite Lance being a {{type|Dragon}} specialist.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle as a partner in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}).
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create a utopia for Pokémon.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] the [[Champions Tournament]].
* In Lance's {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} [[rematch]], each of his Pokémon has a double weakness.
** Additionally, his initial Champion team and his team during his [[Dragon's Den]] [[Multi Battle]] match has more Flying-types than Dragon-types, despite specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Including spin-off games, Lance has used the most [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] in all his teams throughout the games, having used {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}}.


*Every Pokémon Lance battles with knows {{m|Hyper Beam}}.
*Lance has battles with two illegal Pokémon. The Aerodactyl that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and the Dragonite that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in Red and Blue. Furthermore, his Dragonites from [[Generation III]] are underlevelled.

Lance (Japanese: ワタル Wataru) is a Dragon-type Trainer, a member of the Indigo Elite Four in Generations I, III, and VII, and the Pokémon Champion of the Indigo Plateau in Generations II and IV.

In the core series games

Character profile

In Generations I, III, and VII, Lance is the fourth and final member of the Kanto Elite Four. He must be defeated before facing BlueRBYFRLG/TracePE, the Pokémon League Champion. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it is revealed he has a Key Stone and Charizardite X, which he uses in rematches against the player after they become Champion. By the Generation II and IV games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to Red taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at Mt. Silver, and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.

He raises Dragon-type Pokémon and Pokémon that are dragon-like in appearance, which are both hard to catch and raise, and prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan following and seems to like capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the Celadon Department Store.

Lance's grandfather is the elder of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. Clair is his cousin, and his hometown is Blackthorn City.

In the Generation II games and their remakes, the player first encounters Lance at the Lake of Rage, where he watches the player battle the Red Gyarados. Afterwards, he appears in Mahogany Town to help the player fight Team Rocket at the Team Rocket HQ. Lance rewards the player with the HM for Whirlpool for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans. In the remakes, he also teams up with the player in a Multi Battle against Ariana during these events. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he and Clair can also be faced in another Multi Battle at Dragon's Den during the post-game.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Lance represents Johto at the Pokémon World Tournament, taking part in the Champions Tournament.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Professor Kukui reveals that he challenged Lance at one point, with Pokémon Masters EX specifying that Lance was the Indigo League Champion at that time. The end result of their battle is unknown, however.

Appearance

Lance is often depicted as a tall young man with athletic build, carmine-colored spiky hair and brown eyes. He often seen wearing a cape in all of his outfits. In Generation I, he wears a black shirt and a red jacket over it. On his shoulders is a cape that is red on the outside and black in the inside. He wears black jeans with red lines and a belt with a gold dragon-shaped buckle. He also wears red boots

In Generation II, Lance wears a black suit with red lines on them and a black-colored belt. His cape is now black on the outside and red inside. He wears black boots with red lines.

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Lance has blue eyes and wears a blue suit with orange color around his sleeves and on the chest area. He also wears a dark belt around his waist, some brown boots with orange heels, and a brown cloak, which is red on the inside.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Lance wears a medieval-looking navy blue tunic with red-orange trim, a brown belt around his waist, and large black boots with orange two rings around the top of each boot. The cuffs of his long sleeves are black with orange zigzagging trim separating the cuff from the navy blue part of the sleeve. He sports a long, flowing cape around his neck which is black on the outside and crimson red on the inside.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Lance's attire is noticeably more casual than his previous outfits. He now wears a black shirt with a blue logo in the shape of a dragon on the front, with an open red jacket over it, and sports dark gray colored pants and brown boots. His cape lacks a high collar, is blue with gold trim at both the top and outside and gray on the inside.

History

Red, Green & Blue arc

Lance was briefly seen in A Charizard...and a Champion with his fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.

Yellow arc

Lance debuts in Vermilion City before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the Dragonair that was to be offered as a prize to the winner, then attacked and destroyed Vermilion City, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him, he tried to capture Pika to please Agatha and Lorelei, but once Pikachu learned Surf he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on Cerise Island battling Blaine and Yellow. When Blaine released Mewtwo, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo, they could only battle together for about three minutes, and with time running out, Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls, only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle began.

Lance during the ninth chapter

During Lance's battle with Yellow, as both of them were equally matched, Lance lured the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, Giovanni arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his Rhyhorn to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon Lugia, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him. The Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals. Still, Yellow's Pokémon could drive Lugia away once they evolved, and Yellow could channel their power into Pika's Megavolt. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

Prior to Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. As seen in a flashback in Returning Pupitar, he gave Silver advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in Johto, as well as a Pupitar.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Silver eventually returned Lance's Pupitar, now evolved as a Tyranitar, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the Lake of Rage. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the Masked Man. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his Aerodactyl watching the horizon during part of Professor Oak's speech on the radio. In The Last Battle II, it was revealed that he and Clair shared the same grandparents, but Lance's father had moved to Viridian City and married a woman there.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

In Secrets from Sneasel, it was revealed that Lance looked into the mind of Silver's Sneasel for clues regarding Silver's roots, but to no avail.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the Mythical Pokémon, Arceus. He requests that a Pokédex holder be sent to meet him at the Pokéathlon Dome, so Professor Oak sends Gold, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to discover what happened to its Trainer.

Gold encounters an injured Lance thereafter chasing Arceus to the Ruins of Alph. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by someone earlier and couldn't meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not connect with Arceus until he can connect with his own Pokémon. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has Bugsy take care of Lance in the meantime. Before Togebo leaves, Lance hands it a Shiny Stone, just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and Pryce to combat the Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina which Arceus had created on the Mystri Stage. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with Spacial Rend is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to find help, he arrived at the Ilex Forest, where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how a coward like Petrel defeated Lance, who reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as Yellow, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

Character

Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently, also from Viridian Forest, Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like Yellow was. Lance has the power to communicate with Pokémon and heal their wounds telepathically. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Pokémon

This listing is for Lance's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga:

On hand
Dratini → Dragonair → Dragonite
Lance's Dragonite
Main article: Lance's Dragonite

Dragonite was raised as a Dragonair that evolved from a Dratini, which he owned since childhood. It is considered to be Lance's strongest Pokémon and boasts a hide so thick that it can withstand continued exposure to the heat of lava (and regular attacks are all ineffective).

Magikarp → Gyarados
Lance's Magikarp
Lance's Gyarados
Main article: Lance's Gyarados

Gyarados was used to shield Lance from the lava on Cerise Island using its bubbles. It evolved from a Magikarp.

Dragonair (×2)
Lance's Dragonair

These Dragonair are Lance's mainly-used ones in his Dragonair army. One of them first appeared in a Surfing Contest as a prize. Lance brainwashes the Dragonair during the contest, and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados, were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are Hyper Beam, Wrap, Dragon Rage, Agility, Bubble Beam, Slam, and Surf*, and their Ability is Shed Skin.

Aerodactyl
Lance's Aerodactyl

Lance's Aerodactyl is mostly used for air transportation. It was used in the final battle against Yellow's Pokémon, mostly for carrying Lance while he issued commands to the rest of his Pokémon.

Aerodactyl's known moves are Hyper Beam, Supersonic, and Wing Attack.

Pupitar → Tyranitar
Lance's Pupitar
Lance's Tyranitar

Lance gave his Tyranitar to Silver when he was a Pupitar. Tyranitar made his first official appearance when he was battling Gold and easily defeating Gold's entire team until he got subdued by Togebo's Double-Edge. After battling Lugia at the Whirl Islands, Tyranitar was returned to Lance as Silver was not able to fully control him.

Tyranitar's only known move is Sandstorm, his Ability is Sand Stream as a Tyranitar and Shed Skin as a Pupitar. He has a Quirky nature.

Released
Lugia
Lance's Lugia
Main article: Tower duo (Adventures)

Lance summoned Lugia to complete his plans of creating a utopia for Pokémon where humans that abuse Pokémon or destroy their habitats would be no more. However, this plan did not work as Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the Whirl Islands where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the Masked Man, who caught it just as Gold, Silver, and Crystal were about to. Using its Aeroblast with Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until Suicune, Entei, and Raikou appeared alongside their new Trainers to fight the villain and free them. Eventually, after much turmoil, Lugia once again fled along with Ho-Oh.

Lance appears in Space Havoc!! as a regular Elite Four member. Red meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang were on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while Clefairy had to deal with an upset Professor Oak.

Lance reappeared in The Final Battle!! where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons he threw. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals how he met Lance, but the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance runs off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.
