Masked Man: Difference between revisions

|desc={{p|Lugia}}'s first appearance dates back to the end of the {{chap|Yellow}}, where it was summoned by [[Lance]] to complete his plans of creating a utopia for Pokémon where humans that abuse Pokémon or destroy their habitats would be no more. Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. It was in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it made its proper debut, finally identified as a Lugia for the first time. Although the resuscitated Gold, Silver, and Crystal stood little chance against its might at first, their [[Exbo|starters]] [[Silver's Feraligatr|all]] [[Megaree|evolved]] and helped deliver a critical blow by aiming straight for its forehead to maximize its [[catch rate]]. A bright flash of light soon followed, after which it seemed to have been trapped in the ball Crystal had kicked, the three young [[Pokédex Holder]]s were shocked to find that it was empty, and were led to assume that it ran. In reality, however, the Masked Man was behind the attack which caused its rampage all along, and was revealed to have caught it himself as he appeared at Indigo Plateau and led an attack on the league alongside {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which he also had recaught. Eventually, after much turmoil, Lugia was freed and flew off with its fellow bird.
