 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 run too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.

Lance then 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 {{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 Lugia, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to 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.

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.
 Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Tyranitar (which Silver promptly returned 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|Oak's}} speech on the radio.
-In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Lance called Professor Oak and told him to send one of the Pokédex holders to the Pokéathlon dome so that Lance could give them information on the Legendary Pokémon Arceus. {{adv|Gold}} was assigned to investigate on this, but when he got to the Pokéathlon dome, Lance was not there, but Gold was attacked by his Dragonite. Gold eventually finds Lance in the Ruins of Alph, only to learn that Lance was attacked by [[Petrel|someone]]. Lance had told Gold to open his heart to Arceus, and only then will Arceus calm down. Later, as [[Archer]] executed his plan to summon {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], Lance appeared alongside {{adv|Giovanni}} and [[Pryce]].
+In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly-revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the legendary legendary 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 find out what happened to its Trainer.
-Lance reveals that he met his two comrades during the events of Ilex Forest. He heard Pryce's calls for help from the time vortex. Pryce was able to return to the real world during the special night when {{p|Celebi}} descends to its shrine but when that event happened, Giovanni happened to be there. Recognizing Pryce as the man who kidnapped his son years ago, Giovanni attacked Pryce out of rage but Lance puts a halt to the clash, pleading the two men to put aside their differences as there were more important manners at hand. Lance offers Giovanni and Pryce his companionship, despite their complicated histories.
+After chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]], Gold encounters an injured Lance there. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and wasn't able to 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 be able to connect with Arceus until he is able to 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.  reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his [[Togebo]],
-Back at the Sinjoh Ruins, Lance takes on Palkia as he has had experience with controlling space. He orders a Hyper Beam from his Dragonite which Palkia manages to deflect with {{m|Spacial Rend}}. However, thanks to Dragonite's ability to reverse the direction of its attacks, it managed to strike Palkia by surprise.
+As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone else who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with {{adv|Giovanni}} and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} that were 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 is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.
-After taking the battle outside, the three men managed to calm Dialga and Palkia and send Giratina to the [[Distortion World]]. When asked by Gold how Lance was bested by a low-life like Petrel, Lance admitted that Petrel managed to faze him by disguising as {{adv|Yellow|a former enemy with the 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.
+It is later revealed that when Lance went to go 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, who was 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 Lance was defeated by a coward like Petrel. Lance 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.
