− | + | *Lance has made two appearances in the Pokémon anime, although none involved him as a member of the Elite Four. He is shown as a secret agent who infiltrates organizations like Team Rocket to foil their plots. He first appears in several episodes of the Johto series based on the Mahogany Town battles with Team Rocket in ''Gold'' and ''Silver'', and Lance also catches the Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage. Lance made another appearance in the Hoenn episodes, where he helps to quell the situation when [[Groudon]] and [[Kyogre]] are awakened. | |
− | + | *Lance was featured in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga as the main villain of the ''Yellow'' arc, with the rest of the Elite Four as his partners. He is revealed to have been born in [[Viridian Forest]] with the forest's powers (due to his father going against tradition and marrying a Viridian woman instead of someone from the clan) which include telepathic contact with Pokémon and the ability to heal Pokémon. He is motivated by his zealous desire for Pokémon to inhabit the earth that started when he saw a [[Dratini]] dying from pollution as a child and sets his plans into motion to summon [[Lugia]] with an island-sized amplifier of the eight gym badges' powers, with which he planned to destroy nearly all of mankind. He is ultimately challenged by Yellow and [[Blaine]], and is briefly defeated by [[Giovanni]] until he retreats once Lugia is summoned. After Lugia disappears, Lance does as well. He briefly resurfaces in the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc, where he is shown to have mentored [[Silver]] in his battles against [[Team Rocket]], and despite Silver's distrust of him Lance teaches Silver important lessons about caring for his Pokémon. | |
