Lawrence Tsuchiya III

Gelardan Lawrence Tsuchiya III is from Vermilion City in the Kanto region. He's a member of the Tekiyoku, a Psychic Manipulator. He's also a member of the Psychic Division.

Present
Lawrence III appeared with Cyrus at the end of Episode 12, then was mainly seen in Episode 13. The two encountered Alain and the Mokusetsu in Snowbelle City in the Kalos region to fight over possession of the Ice Plate, Tsurara. Lawrence III revealed he was the one who was tracking Alain in Kalos, working with the Psychic Division and relaying Alain's location to other Tekiyoku members so they would know where to go to find him.

Lawrence III fought against Alain. During the fight, he said a remark about Alain's father, pointing out how the both of them have a parent who has passed away, then calling Alain a "Daddy's Boy". This shows that he knows that detail in Alain's past about how he cares for his father and is mainly trying to become a scientist in medicine to cure diseases since his dad died from a disease.

This remark truly angered Alain, who then, for the first time in the series, used the 80% Flying move, Evil Angel. He went manic and slashed one of Lawrence III's legs, making him tumble. Cyrus got in front of him to stop Alain from murdering him. Alain was still going to murder them, but thanks to an order not to from Ash, he didn't. Lawrence III and Cyrus retreated.

Naming

 * His first name, Gelardan, is his Japanese name in the Pokémon anime. It most likely comes from French philosopher and Stanford University professor 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".
 * His middle name, Lawrence, is his name in the English dub of the anime. It might just come from his Japanese name.
 * His last name, Tsuchiya, was randomly selected from a Japanese name generator.

General

 * His birthday, September 7th, was randomly selected.
 * Lawrence III was originally going to be from the Orange Islands in this story, since that's the location of the movie he appeared in in the Pokémon anime. This was changed to Kanto, due to the Orange Islands not being a region in Tears of the Fallen. He has neither a hometown nor a home region that was mentioned in the anime.
