I think it was my first or second battle, as a member of the Elite Four . . . I believe the first.
[ lance tends to remember the people who manage to get to him, because so few ever did. and this battle in particular: ]
I did so poorly that I was convinced I was going to be fired on the spot. The audience [ of bruno, lorelei, and agatha, the lookie-loos] was not very impressed. [ a little ruefully; lance won the battle, clearly, so his definition of "poorly" was probably skewed. ] But I wasn't expecting the Ninetails to be an Ice/Fairy Type.
[ poor dragonite didn't speak to lance for a week, after that mess. ]
That being said, I spent quite a long time after the battle talking to him about his Pokemon. He was very kind, and smart. Ambitious -- so it doesn't surprise me, that he wanted a Pokemon League in Alola. He seemed excited, to have the opportunity to challenge us at the Plateau.
