The film begins at the Shamouti Shrine, where a Slowking kept guard, as the prophecy was read. Later, it changes to an aircraft where a computer shows holograms of the three {{OBP|legendary birds|M02}}. [[Lawrence III]], a wealthy collector of the world's most valuable antiques, wishes to make his collection complete by catching the three legendary birds, {{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 arrives at Fire Island, home to Moltres. He provokes the Flame Pokémon by shooting ice cannons at its habitat. This caused it to leave its island, and after weakening it with more ice shots, he captures the firebird. However, as Lawrence begins to follow the prophecy, the world's climate begins to be affected. | The film begins at the Shamouti Shrine, where a Slowking kept guard, as the prophecy was read.

Somewhere in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}} are traveling to their next island destination on board a boat owned by a woman named [[Maren]]. They send out their Pokémon as Tracey suggested so they can have some fresh air. {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Snorlax}}, however, were briefly out of their Poké Balls, but Charizard was recalled after it breathed fire, and Snorlax was recalled because it weighed down the boat. {{TRT}} 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 {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], and [[Mimey]]. They witness various Pokémon traveling in groups towards one direction. According to the Professor, Pokémon can sense the abnormalities in nature better than humans. Ash, Misty, and Tracey, along with 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 as she's too old for that role, her younger rebellious sister {{ | Somewhere in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}} are traveling to their next island destination on board a boat owned by a woman named [[Maren]].

Maren's friend, [[Carol]] was once the Festival Maiden, but as she's too old for that role, her younger rebellious sister {{OBP|Melody|M02}} takes on the role with some reluctance. As Ash is introduced as a Pokémon Trainer, the islanders become ecstatic, as the legend foretold his arrival. As Melody meets Ash, she approves of him for the role of Chosen One and kisses him, angering Misty. | ||
During the festival ceremony, Melody plays a tune similar to the cry of Lugia and afterward explains Ash's role as Chosen One. He must venture out to the islands of the legendary birds and collects three glass orbs (she uses some fruits as the orbs during her explanation) that represent the elements of Fire, Ice and Lightning, bring them back to Shamouti's shrine where Melody will play the same tune which will end the festival. Ash heads out immediately, with Maren and Pikachu going with him. Pikachu steals Ash's hat as Misty shows reluctance in going. Team Rocket rows what's left of their submarine, which became a boat. Maren's boat crosses their path and capsizes the trio's boat. As they hang on, a wave crashes onto them. After a brief scene of Slowking noticing the mess caused by Moltres' capture, Melody expresses her concern for Ash as the storm extinguishes a torch. As Team Rocket finally make it ashore, they notice Melody, Misty, and Tracey running. | During the festival ceremony, Melody plays a tune similar to the cry of Lugia and afterward explains Ash's role as Chosen One.
