Lawrence III is the main antagonist appearing in Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One.
Biography[]
Lawrence III calls himself a "collector", but many see him as more of a Pokémon poacher, although he did not seem to have any Pokémon of his own before capturing the Legendary Birds. He travels in a Flying Palace that houses his collection of artifacts, although his most prized treasure is his Ancient Mew card, which was also the first object in his collection. His goal is to capture Lugia and add it to his collection, though he fails due to his airship being destroyed. By the end of the movie, he finds his Mew card and mutters "How it all began, and how it will begin... again", implying that he will try again to catch the Legendary Pokémon for his collection.
He has not been heard from since his debut. However, in the ending credits of Pokémon Heroes, Annie and Oakley were seen looking at a picture of him.
