Lance smirked as she clutched Red close to her chest. The boy's cheeks were flushed, his ruby eyes half-lidded, but if one looked carefully they could see a slight mistiness in them.
She glared at the others standing across from her. They were going to try and take Red away, and she would not allow that. The sky rumbled with thunder as her dragons broke free, and she heard them suck in a gasp. Of course she had more than her twin Hakuryuu and Ptera, fools…
After all, was she not the Leader of the Elite Four, and the commander of a Dragon Army? How quickly they had forgotten the facts!
Pity those who do not learn from history… for they are doomed to repeat its mistakes.
No, she would not underestimate that one again, but without a Pikachu, all her power was for naught. Slowly, she smiled.
* He's mine… *
 
“I want to stay,” Red had whispered to her last night. “I want to stay, but they will not let me.”
“I know,” she had responded. “What would you have me do?”
“Protect me; please… they'll try to take me away.”
“I will,” She had promised.
Lance always kept her promises.
 
She watched as Hyper Beam ripped several of them to shreds, blood and bone scattering over the dusty ground. She watched as Gyarados tore the old man open, enough of the meddling fool! She watched as one of them fled, more worried about her own skin than the friend she had come to save.
She had expected it though. Yellow was a coward a heart.
 
Red's eyes opened, as he blinked owlishly at Lance. “Is it over now?”
The Dragon Master nodded with a half-smile.
“I'm glad…” He sighed. It was messy, but it had to be done. Love was the most important thing, after all - aside from Pokemon.
“Don't you regret their deaths?” She asked, surprised.
He shook his head. “You are all I need. You've proven yourself true, and I appreciate that.”
Golden eyes softened in understand. “I see…”
They kissed.

So Liberality is generosity, willingness to give, and a nobility of thoughts and actions… I'm not sure if Lance's actions fit, but they might, so…
