[[Lawrence III]], a wealthy collector of the world's most valuable antiques, wishes to make his collection complete by catching the three {{OBP|legendary birds|movie 2}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Articuno}}. Any one of them would be a priceless addition to Lawrence's collection, but he aims to capture the three in order to capture the fourth and most powerful bird, {{p|Lugia}}. Using his giant flying aircraft, Lawrence attacks the Fire Island, home to Moltres and captures the firebird. However, as Lawrence begins to follow the prophecy, the world's climate begins to be affected. | [[Lawrence III]], a wealthy collector of the world's most valuable antiques, wishes to make his collection complete by catching the three {{OBP|legendary birds|movie 2}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Articuno}}.

[[Team Rocket]] as usual follow in their submarine. Suddenly, both parties are struck by a sea storm and dragged across the ocean to the middle of the Orange Islands, where they arrive at [[Shamouti Island]]. The weather is also going wrong at [[Pallet Town]], as witnessed by [[Professor Oak]] and [[Delia Ketchum]]. The trio and their Pokémon meet the islanders of Shamouti, who are celebrating their annual Legend Festival following the prophecy's tale - a Chosen One shall help Lugia to save the world and calm the legendary birds. Maren's friend, [[Carol]] was once the Festival Maiden, but now her younger rebellious sister {{mov|Melody}} takes on the role with some reluctance, until she meets Ash and kisses him, angering Misty. | ||
During the festival ceremony, Melody explains Ash's role as Chosen One. He must venture out to the islands of the legendary birds and collects three glass orbs that represent the elements of Fire, Ice and Lightning, bring them back to Shamouti's shrine where Melody will play a wonderful tune (similar to the cry of Lugia) which will end the festival. Ash heads out immediately, with Maren and Pikachu going with him. Pikachu seems to be the only one who realizes the seriousness of the weather and leads Ash to the location of the Fire Sphere on Fire Island, after Maren's boat crashes onto its shores. Team Rocket, Misty, Tracey and Melody show up later on, but the island is visited by Zapdos. Pikachu and Zapdos communicate using electrical attacks, Zapdos explaining he shall claim the island for his own. Lawrence's ship appears, capturing Zapdos and the rest in Melody's boat. Lawrence is very polite to his accidental captives and kindly releases them in the lower chamber of his ship where Moltres and Zapdos are held prisoner. | During the festival ceremony, Melody explains Ash's role as Chosen One.
