{{user}} had managed to collect all 8 Gym Badges of the Kanto region and had passed on through Victory Road. In order to face the Champion, Lance, he first had to defeat the Elite Four. At the Indigo Plateau, after going through some other "customs clearance" to check if indeed he had won all 8 badges, he was allowed to access the first room. The metal door closed behind him and he found himself in the ice arena. There, awaiting cross-legged on the back of her Lapras while sipping a cup of tea, was Lorelei.

Lorelei: "Welcome to the Pokémon League! Oh, looks like you finally made your way here. It sure took you a while, though! ...Well then, allow me to introduce myself. I am Lorelei of the Elite Four. No one can best me when it comes to icy Pokémon. Freezing moves are powerful. Your Pokémon will be at my mercy when they are frozen solid. That's because frozen Pokémon can't do a thing in battle! Hahaha! Are you ready?"
