Lawrence III | Lawrence III read {{DL|Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon|Shamouti Island|an ancient prophecy}} passed down by the residents of [[Shamouti Island]]. Misinterpreting this prophecy to refer to himself as the Chosen One, and the three to the {{OBP|Legendary birds|M02}} residing near Shamouti, Lawrence III set out to capture all three so as to draw out {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, what he assumed to be the Beast of the Sea. | ||
Using the various weaponry of the Hikōkyū, Lawrence III weakened {{p|Moltres}} on [[Fire Island]], and captured it using strange electrical rings, rather than a [[Poké Ball]]. Making it out to be a large game of {{wp|chess}}, he moved next to capture {{p|Zapdos}}, which moved to Fire Island soon after to claim the area that Moltres had seemingly abandoned. Inadvertently, he also captured {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{Tracey}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{OBP|Melody|M02}} | Using the various weaponry of the Hikōkyū, Lawrence III weakened {{p|Moltres}} on [[Fire Island]], and captured it using strange electrical rings, rather than a [[Poké Ball]].

Inadvertently, he also captured {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{Tracey}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{OBP|Melody|M02}}, and {{TRT}}, whose boat was of similar size to the Legendary birds, and brought them aboard his ship to witness his crowning glory. | ||
He did not foresee, however, that the group, especially Ash, would not take kindly to his method of capture of the two Legendary Pokémon, and as he attempted to add {{p|Articuno}} to his collection in the same manner, Ash, using {{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, and Pikachu, freed Moltres from its device. Moltres made short work of the device still holding Zapdos, and quickly, the two birds began to squabble, destroying part of the ship, escaping, and bringing Articuno into the fight. | He did not foresee, however, that the group, especially Ash, would not take kindly to his method of capture of the two Legendary Pokémon, and as he attempted to add {{p|Articuno}} to his collection in the same manner, Ash, using {{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, and Pikachu, freed Moltres from its device.

As the prophecy said, the fighting of the Legendary birds brought Lugia out, and Lawrence III, still intent on adding it to his collection, attempted to capture it in the same manner as the other Pokémon. Though Lugia managed to escape and destroy the remains of the ship with {{m|Aeroblast}}, Lawrence III survived the destruction as the real Chosen One, Ash Ketchum himself, helped Lugia to tame the real Beast of the Sea, a great underwater current that runs near Shamouti Island. Finding his Ancient Mew card, Lawrence III vows to begin his collection again, but on a smaller scale, and the novelization of the movie reveals that he will not attempt to capture Lugia again. | As the prophecy said, the fighting of the Legendary birds brought Lugia out, and Lawrence III, still intent on adding it to his collection, attempted to capture it in the same manner as the other Pokémon.

The origin of his peculiar Japanese name is most likely from French philosopher and Stanford University professor {{wp|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". | The origin of his peculiar Japanese name is most likely from French philosopher and {{wp|Stanford University}} professor {{wp|René Girard}}, whose theories link problems in the modern world to legends and religious stories in the ancient world.

While most official English language media refers to him as Lawrence III (including promotional trading cards, the [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-movies/movie-pokemon-the-movie-2000-2000/ movie summary on Pokémon.com], and closed captioning on most releases of the movie), he has been referred to by other names in official English language media. Closed captioning on the original American DVD refers to him as Gelardan, which is the same as his Japanese name. The movie novelization calls him Lawrence III, but refers to him as Stealthius twice. | While most official English language media refers to him as Lawrence III (including promotional trading cards, the [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-movies/movie-pokemon-the-movie-2000-2000/ movie summary on Pokémon.com], and closed captioning on most releases of the movie), he has been referred to by other names in official English language media.
