Not a bad guess!
Hint: most of his pokemon illustrations (non tcg) are in black and white.
Is it the illustrator of the Pokemon Adventures manga, Satoshi Yamamoto?

Yup! Always love flipping through adventures and gazing at the art.
This is his only card illustration apparently:

I didn’t think I was actually right! That illustration looks so different compared to his drawings in the manga. Even his Lance looks completely different.

I know, his Lance looks like a kid haha. The art is from the HGSS vol. which I don’t have unfortunately. I doubt its Mato, she only did the RBY vol. is my understanding

Or maybe Pokemon 251? 
This print is by Yusuke Murata? It reminds me of the HGSS packaging by Arita.

Sorry, to be clear, this is the Murata print. The image in the above message is of a postcard by Arita… so if that was your guess you got it right
