Ash's Lapras was the first Pokémon that Ash captured in the Orange Islands.
Biography[]
Lapras was originally found washed up on a beach but Ash & Co. managed to help nurse it back to health until it was kidnapped by Team Rocket. Ash managed to free it and captured it until they could find Lapras' family. Lapras was primarily used as the gang's transport throughout the Orange Islands but it was also used in several of the Gym battles and the final League match.
In Viva Las Lapras, Ash and co. finally found Lapras' family, but because of their experiences with a hunter, they did not accept Lapras back into the school. Eventually, it regained their acceptance by saving the school from the hunter, also helping the others trust humans again. It soon departed with its family.
Lapras wasn't seen again until Lapras of Luxury where it had grown up and became the leader of the herd.
