As Lawrence's aircraft detects the presence of Zapdos, islanders watch the news which talked about the unusual weather. This news story also reaches Delia and Professor Oak. [[Professor Ivy]] phones in in the middle, telling Professor Oak that the Pokémon are behaving strangely. Meanwhile, Pikachu (who was the only one aware of the urgency of the situation) leads Ash to the location of the Fire Sphere on Fire Island, after Maren's boat crashes onto its shores and loses its rudder. The boat carrying Team Rocket, Misty, Tracey and Melody flipped, causing Team Rocket to get launched onto the island, and the boat crashes onto a rock as Maren tries to relax. When the storm threatens to harm the boat containing the others, Melody hoists a sail. They use the boat and the wind to ascend the steps. The scene changes to Lawrence's aircraft as he looks on a newly acquired Moltres, who is helpless. The computer announces Zapdos' arrival to Fire Island.

The scene changes to Lawrence's aircraft as he looks on a newly acquired Moltres, who is helpless. The computer announces Zapdos' arrival to Fire Island.


The scene changes again as Ash and Pikachu ascend the stairs, and Team Rocket plans to take Pikachu. Pikachu finds a pedestal containing the Fire Orb and motions Ash. Ash tries to obtain the sphere while Pikachu urges him on, and manages to collect it. As they turn to head back, they confront Team Rocket and as the trio recites part of their {{motto}}, both groups [[Breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]]. Melody, Misty, and Tracey's boat arrives, as does Zapdos. Pikachu and Zapdos communicate using electrical attacks, with {{MTR}} translating the conversation, Zapdos explaining he shall claim the island for his own. Lawrence's ship appears, draining Zapdos of its power and later capturing the Electric Pokémon and the rest in Melody's boat. The ship's computer informs Lawrence that there were others captured along with Zapdos. As they stand in the cage in the ship's lower chamber, Tracey notes the imprisoned birds, and Melody notes a stone with the Shamouti Prophecy etched, and reads aloud the first sentence. As Lawrence mentions his plan to collect the birds, Misty criticizes him. Lawrence is very polite to his accidental captives and kindly releases them. The computer informs him of Articuno's location, and he leaves. The scene changes to Articuno as it uses {{m|Ice Beam}} on an island, freezing it and the water around the island. The news later states that a massive amount of Pokémon are making their way to the island, except for those that cannot cross water. The newspeople speak to the two Profesors about a cause, and Professor Oak correctly predicts that the legendary birds are involved. After a brief scene featuring Slowking, followed by another scene depicting Shamouti Island in a snowstorm as Carol worries about Melody, the scene return to the lower chamber as Melody reads the prophecy again.

The group suggest to free the imprisoned birds, as Lawrence's ship nears Articuno. Lawrence provokes the Freeze Pokémon using fire. Something notices the action while underwater, and ascends. Back in the chamber, Ash calls out Charizard to use {{m|Flamethrower}} and has Pikachu use {{m|ThunderShock}} to free Moltres, while James calls out {{TP|James|Weezing}}, who failed to save Zapdos. Jessie then {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to attempt to release Zapdos with {{m|Poison Sting}}, which failed to penetrate the prison. Ash calls out Squirtle and Bulbasaur. As Squirtle joins in with {{m|Water Gun}}, Moltres is released. Moltres unleashes a Flamethrower attack that breaks Zapdos free. As the two birds are freed, however, they immediately get into a fight and destroy the ship in the process. The ship informs Lawrence that it's going down, then it crashes onto Lightning Island. The group evacuates and lands onto the island. The debris of the ship crashes onto the pedestal, destroying it and releases the Lightning Sphere, which Ash acquires. The group escape onto Melody's boat while Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno duel overhead. A giant typhoon scoops up the boat and carries it to the Shamouti Shrine, where Ash and the others meet Slowking, the shrine's guardian. Able to speak, he shows Ash where to place the collected spheres. In the moment he places the Thunder and Fire Sphere, the legendary birds attack the shrine, but are stopped by the sudden appearance of [[Lugia (M02)|Lugia]]. Lawrence eyes Lugia from the remains of his aircraft in awe, considering it "his prize" while the other three birds gang up and attack it as it attempts to quell the fighting. While Lugia protects the shrine, eventually the Diving Pokémon falls victim to the attacks, and crashes down. Meanwhile, the massive gathering of Pokémon arrive after crossing the now-frozen sea.

* When the Pokémon are attempting to free Moltres, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Flamethrower}} are used simultaneously. Tracey's explanation, which was cut from the dub, is that "electricity, plus fire, plus water... electricity {{wp|electrolysis|separates}} water into {{wp|hydrogen}} and {{wp|oxygen}}, which is then {{wp|combustion|recombined}} using fire which means—''Everybody get down!''" However, this line is included in the [[Pokémon the Movie 2000 (book)|novelization]] and the [[Pokémon the Movie 2000 (graphic novel)|ani-manga]] with different dialogue.

<!--not sure how to put this, but here's the novelization's dialogue: "The water and electricity blasts are creating two gases, hydrogen and oxygen. If those two gases come into contact with Charizard's fire, there's going to be an &mdash;" then the explosion.-->

** The English audio track on the DVD released in the 2007 Japanese box set simply cut to dead silence during this scene. The same was done during Professor Oak's explanation scene.

* Although in the English version the birds are referred as "titans", in the Finnish version they are referred as "gods" like in the Japanese version. This is the only Finnish version of any movie to use this term though.
