Now for the champion of the kanto Johto area or Lance
For this one given it’s the last of Kanto I’m going to go extra :3
I like his gen 4 design the most tbh tbh
Dad figure 2 (you’ll see dad figure 1 later)
I find Lance really silly
And he’s adopted Silver in my mind bc the kid deserves better
Tbh he’s a comfort character for me given I relate to Silver
I love including him in aus tbh tbh!
Ok now how he interacts with the other elite four members
Starting with Lorelei who he got Dragonite plushes from and he keeps those plushies on a shelf in his living room (they have gotten scratched up with time but he’s can sew so fixes them but one has a star patterned orange patch given Silver’s Sneasel scratched at it so it needed major repairs and was missing a decent spot on its back) (Lance actually taught Silver how to sew while fixing it up)
Next is Will who Lance usually let’s complain about the stolen lunches issue but in all honesty he’s not getting too involved because this more seems like a Will and Karen being friends issue not a workplace issue but he’s told Karen off at least once or twice
Karen is next and she’s usually nice to Lance but they are kind of just coworkers
Bruno is nice but coworkers
Agatha is also nice and Lance really respects her in all honesty
Koga is also nice and him and Lance talk about their kids together happily often
He interacts with Red for around 2 hours of time that they’ve fully been interacting (battling, Red giving champion to him after a few months bc the work of being a champion was a lot) but Lance feels the kid has potential to be the strongest trainer ever possibly
Blue was a simple Blue win but Lance has respect for the kid and Agatha seemed to have a bigger reaction then him to Blue
I haven’t read kanto pokespe so I don’t know abt Yellow
Gold also had potential but also handed Lance the role of champion back after less then a week
Silver is Lance’s kiddo and Lance is trying to help Silver through his trauma and be a good dad figure for the kid (I’ll probably talk abt this more when I get to Silver :3)
Now how about other champions?
Starting with Steven who Lance usually lowers his voice around given he understands Steven is autistic and Lance doesn’t want any chance of overwhelming him
Lance has interacted with Wallace a few times but not enough to exactly be friends but Wallace did ask him “Shouldn’t Dratini be a water type it lives in water after all?” and Lance has thought about that ever since
Lance doesn’t talk to Cynthia much
Lance and Alder are buds 100% especially when Alder thinks about adopting N and Lance is just like “Of course you should! Kids of evil team leaders need guidance the most” and now they talk about it together
He doesn’t interact with Diantha much
He’s battled Leon a couple times but they aren’t really friends exactly?
He’s probably no longer champion once Geeta is champion of Paldea logically but they’d get along tbh
Now for a surprise all of his gym leaders and how he interacts with them!
Brock is first and Brock hasn’t interacted with Lance much but Lance has pet Brock’s onix
Lance also hasn’t talked to Misty much but he did ruffle her hair once (Misty stared at him afterwards)
Surge and Lance have interacted a couple times and they vibe
Lance actually always asks Erika how Celadon is doing and sometimes stares at her disappointed when she’s gossiping (Erika usually stops gossiping till he leaves then the drama is back on!)
I’m putting Janine here and Lance always tells her she did a great job when she brings snacks to the league building
Sabrina and Lance are coworkers and don’t interact much
Blaine has given Lance a few quizzes and Lance went along with them
Lance hates Giovanni with every bone in his body
Falkner is chill but they don’t interact much
Buggy has had the hair ruffleddddd (Bugsy actually giggled especially because at least one twig fell out of his hair)
Whitney scares even Lance slightly given if fairy types existed in gen 2 she’d be a fairy type trainer but Lance also checks in with her bc she’s like 16 and the rest of her family moved to Hoenn
Morty and Lance have talked a few times but not too often
Lance once had to referee Chuck and Bruno having a actual fight and Lance just sighed
Jasmine is really chill but they don’t talk much especially because something feels weird about Jasmine and non human but Lance can’t put his finger on it……something feels out of place with her (she’s a alien in my mind btw or a Owlrian in particular)
Pryce and Lance chill but Lance tries to not disturb him too much
Lance and Claire are siblings and no one can change my mind tbh tbh
Now just others of the same type specialty of dragon
Drake and Lance get along quite well but just don’t talk much weirdly?
Drayden is a another case of getting along but not talking much
He’s not interacted with Iris before
If he could pick one dragon trainer to talk to and only them it would be Drasna given if you aren’t going to battle her she is so nice!
Zinnia has actually met Lance and bit him before scurrying off and he was so confused
Raihan is too much of a fan to approach
Lance really enjoys any time him and Hassel interact tbh given Hassel is really nice
That’s all I hope y’all enjoyed Kanto given Johto is up :3
