He watches the boy as he battles. He has to admit, Red has skill. He’s already rising through the ranks quickly, and his pokémon are ever so lovely…

He has an Aerodactyl and a Gyarados and those facts alone already endear him more than the other, who only has a Charizard, or the girl, who is too foolish – and look at her pokémon, none evolved – too weak for their cause.

The masked man winning in the other quarterfinals group is none other than Professor Oak. His disguise may fool some, but Agatha knows her old lover well, and pointed him out immediately.

It would be pointless to ask his alliance.

So that leaves either Red or Green…

When the surprise announcement comes, that Oak has resigned, he knows now that the winner will become Ninth Champion of the League, and he waits. Green takes the upper hand at first, but as Red releases Venusaur, his Pikachu and Poliwrath fallen…

Lance knows instantly that he will win.

He collapses after the battle, no doubt the injuries are severe, but the Dragon Master has seen enough, and he nods to Lorelei and Agatha.

They will continue to watch for him, but his choice is made.

This is the one who shall eventually join them.

He licks his lips at the thought, as he watches the nurses carry Red away. Soon, he would be healed, and he would understand…

With a dark swirl of his cape he faded from view, and Red never felt the golden eyes on him.
