Biography
Gelardan, also called Lawrence III, is a self-styled collector and the main antagonist of Pokémon the Movie 2000. He travels in the Flying Palace, an airship roughly the size of a small city, gathering artifacts from around the world. His ambition to add Lugia to his collection drives him to interfere with the legendary birds without accounting for the natural balance they govern.
Story spoilers
Gelardan's plan ultimately fails after his actions destabilize those natural forces. By the end, the Ancient Mew card that began his collection is the only object he still possesses, inspiring him to start collecting again on a smaller scale.
