In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Lance owns a Dragonite in the Pokémon Adventures manga. He has raised it from a Dratini since his childhood alongside his Gyarados, which was a Magikarp at the time. It debuted in Extricated from Exeggutor alongside the rest of his team, and was later used during Lance's battle with Yellow at the Cerise Island. Because it was ravaged and sickly from human pollution at the time of its capture, it was very devoted to his cause, to the point that it would gladly put its life at risk by withstanding the heat of molten lava to serve Lance.
A Dragonite belonging to Lance (presumably the same one) later attacked the Pokéathlon Dome in the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc, but was eventually beaten by Togebo.
