In the [Chariot event](http://www.fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Chariot), Gajeel
becomes motion sick without understanding the reason.

His case of motion sickness does not develop until the second day of the Grand
Magic Games. So does this have anything to do with Pantherlily becoming his
"cat"?

This is speculation but many wizards don't need to use transportation for
their missions, they can just walk like Laxus. So the recent episodes say that
all Dragon Slayers have motion sickness.

Wendy is probably an exception due to her healing abilities.

In the very same chapter when Gajeel still didn't understand why did he get
motion sickness, Sting said to Gajeel (in Chapter 276, page 11) that "Well
then... You finally got accustomed for it, huh... To being a _real dragon
slayer_. Congratulations. Newbie."

We also know that dragon slayer magic can more or less change the user's body
itself. So I assume that if a dragon slayer gets strong enough then they will
get motion sickness on vehicles. (Not as if it would be important or anything,
it's probably just funny.) Wendy doesn't have motion sickness only because she
is too weak of a dragon slayer yet. Just as was the case with Gajeel before.

Also, Laxus doesn't have an Exceed partner as far as we know and he has motion
sickness too (Chapter 276, page 12).

I know this is really late and stuff, but on the [Fairy Tail
Wiki](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Slayer) it says:

So maybe it's because he trained really hard and then it caused him to get to
the advanced "level." And that might also be the cause for Wendy not having
motion sickness, because she isn't at that level. Although that could also be
because she has healing magic, but we still don't know so yeah.

I believe that all male dragonslayers get motion sickness. Female
dragonslayers are an exception because they are not as powerful as male
dragonslayers to level the playing field. As well, Wendy has support magic
that could possibly prevent her from getting motion sickness.

During the chariot event Gajeel says he used to be able to ride on vehicles
just fine, Sting replies saying that it just means Gajeel is a real dragon
slayer now. I don't know if it has anything to do with getting an Exceed, it
seems more like a matter of strength.
