===Pokémon Adventures===

In ''[[PS149|Curious Kingdra]]'', Silver traveled to a secret chamber in the Whirl Islands. In order to access it, he needed to use all the different {{type|Water}} [[HM]] moves to get past the natural obstacles protecting its entrance: his {{TP|Silver|Gyarados}}'s {{m|Whirlpool}} to calm down a raging whirlpool, his {{p|Kingdra}}'s {{m|Waterfall}} to split up the {{OBP|waterfall|obstacle}} covering the entrance, and his {{TP|Silver|Feraligatr}}'s {{m|Surf}} to ride across the pool of water in front of it. In the chamber, he encountered its owner, [[Lance]], whom he returned the {{p|Tyranitar}} he had borrowed from him to, after which he demanded information about the Masked Man's plans from him. Using the clues at his disposal, Lance was able to figure out that the Masked Man's goal was to control {{adv|Celebi|time itself}}.

In ''[[PS445|Dealing with a Koffing Fit]]'', Silver returned to Lance's chamber, only to find [[Clair]] there instead of Lance. Clair, having been unable to contact her cousin for a while, had come to investigate the chamber to see if she could find Lance there. However, the two soon found themselves surrounded by a massive group of {{p|Koffing}}. Silver was easily able to defeat them all with his Pokémon, even {{m|Thief|stealing}} a [[Plate|suspicious item]] from one of them in the process. As a result of all the [[experience]] gained during the battle, Silver's {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Murkrow}} then proceeded to evolve into {{TP|Silver|Weavile}} and {{TP|Silver|Honchkrow}}, respectively. Following a clue from Clair, Silver decided to head out to the {{safari|Johto}} next.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===

In ''[[GB20|A Serious Crisis!! The Battle With The Lugia]]'', Gold and Chris tried to fight Lugia, but their attacks phased right through it. Even when Chris's {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s {{m|Flame Wheel}} seemed to have an effect on Lugia's wing, the damage was quickly healed off. Deciding on a tactical retreat, Gold and Chris escaped through an underwater tunnel in Slowking's pond, coming out from another pond on the other side of the islands. Chris, having noticed that Lugia's form was affected by getting into contact with fire and water, figured that Lugia was actually composed of gas, held together by {{t|Psychic}} powers. Impressed by their observational skills, Lugia trapped Gold on a small islet in the midst of a pool of lava and offered him one chance to either defeat it or surrender. Gold refused to give up, so Lugia shattered the islet, disappering as Gold had his Pokémon use {{m|Water Gun}} to solidify the lava and avoid falling into it. He and Chris tried to solidify more lava for him to get back to solid land, but the solidified lava started to crack under his feet. As Chris made a desperate jump to save him, they and their Pokémon were suddenly transported into an underground cave, where they met the real Lugia, who told them that the Lugia they had defeated had been just an illusion. Slowking told them that the real Lugia had to stay in this cave in order to support a stone pillar that was supporting the islands. Even though Lugia hadn't been fighting at full power due to being ill, it still admitted defeat and offered a prize to Gold and Chris. They wished for a ride to [[Cianwood City]], so they boarded an illusionary Lugia to travel there.
