One sunny day Togepi spies some Ledyba flying through the summer sky and accidentally stumbles and rolls down the viridian hill. Pikachu and the gang wake up and quickly chase after the tumbling baby. Meanwhile, a lost Meowth is trudging through the dense forest when — BLAM! — Togepi shoots out of the brush and smacks Meowth in the head, spinning them both further down the hill.

Lawrence III speaks the ancient prophecy: Disturb not the harmony of Fire, Ice or Lightning lest these Titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash. Though water's great guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone its song will fail — thus the earth shall turn to dust. Into thine hands, bring together all three — their treasures combined tame the beast of the sea...now it begins.

Lawrence III

Back text/notes:

In his air-ship, Lawrence III's computer tells him that the Titans of Fire, Ice and Lightning refer to specific Pokémon — Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos — that are found in the Orange Islands. Lawrence III sets a course for the Orange Islands, where he can capture all three Pokémon. He doesn't care about the prophecy — he only wants to capture the Titan of the Sea.

Lawrence III's computer relates that it has located Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos on the three islands surrounding Shamouti Island. Moltres is the closest, so Lawrence III makes plans to capture the giant fire Pokémon first, followed by Zapdos and Articuno. Once the three are captured, Lawrence III will capture a Pokémon never before seen by human eyes — Lugia!
