Pokemon: Lance in front of Red Gyarados and Kyogre
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Champions in the Pokémon anime have been introduced in a variety of ways, often accentuating their skill and ability at Pokémon training in their first appearances. And while that is true of the first champion met in the series, Lance, it's actually a totally different set of skills which he's able to show off, thanks to his job with the "G-Men.
Lance has not only infiltrated Team Rocket, but Team Magma as well, proving that his spy skills are put to work internationally as well. Lance would later reappear in the Hoenn-era episode "Gaining Groudon," at which time he was investigating Team Aqua and Magma's schemes in the region. Lance happened to be undercover as a Magma grunt when Ash was captured by the group, who wanted the Blue Orb that Pikachu had absorbed into his body.
Since Champions often lend their help to stopping evil teams, as Cynthia would later do in Diamond and Pearl, one can't help but wonder if all Champions are approached about participating in the G-Men organization. Either way, there's no indication that any of them besides Lance have accepted. Lance's secret agent career certainly helped in stopping two massive potential disasters, making him not just the Champion, but the hero the Pokémon world needed.
