Lance (Japanese: ? Wataru) is a Dragon-type Pokémon Master, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest Pokémon Trainers in Kanto or Johto.

His English name problably refers to the weapons prefered to slay dragons with in myths - "lances".

In the Anime

Lance is a Pokémon Master famous in the Pokémon League. He is a member of an organization called the Pokémon G-men.

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 Red Gyarados so that they coud learn how to force Pokémon to 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.

Lance later appeared again in Hoenn, where he infiltrated Team Magma and helpd stop the rampage of Kyogre and Groudon

In the Games

Lance is the leader of the Elite Four. He raises dragon Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise, but he prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon - believing them to be virtually indesctructable.

Known as a cool and heroic trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance often buys identical capes at the Celadon Dept. Store.

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

In Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver, and Pokémon Crystal, Lance appears at Mahogany Town, where he helps the main character fight Team Rocket. He's also the Pokémon League Champion instead of an Elite Four member in those games.

Apparently also from Viridian City, Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest as Yellow was. He has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokemon, as well as heal their wounds.

Lance tried to summon Lugia on Cerise Island to help accomplish his goals - but Yellow's Pokemon were able to drive Lugia away.
