{{ | The homing system, {{adv|Crystal}} explains, can track the energy of any Pokémon the [[PokéDex]]'s holder has encountered, a new feature. When asked whether they had heard of the feature before, {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} say nothing and pretend to know how to use the system, Gold looking over Crystal's shoulder as she activates hers and mimicking her actions. Gold apparently offends their new acquaintance by telling her that she is not merely a "motor-mouthed prissy girl." Crystal then introduces herself at last, but Gold ignores her, deeply involved as he is in waiting for the homing system to track {{p|Lugia}}. Ignoring both of his companions, Silver climbs up the island's crag and discovers a cave which, by virtue of the tracks before its entrance, he deems to be Lugia's lair. Crystal recounts a legend that the four [[Whirl Islands]] are connected by tunnels and states that these would be a suitable hiding place for a gigantic Pokémon. Silver also sees signs of a struggle, and he and Gold suppose that Lugia might have been attacked before they encountered it. That, says Crystal, would explain its rampage; but just as she is pondering aloud who might make such an attack, the three PokéDexes crash at once. It seeming improbable that they could all fail at once, Silver proposes that something may be jamming their signals, whereupon Gold counters that Lugia may have been captured already by someone else. | ||
Meanwhile, the [[S.S. Aqua]] is safe and sound again, swiftly cutting through the waves. A sailor aboard is relieved that he has made it out of the [[PS146|attack]] and then stunned (but, again, relieved) to see [[Lt. Surge#In the manga|Lt. Surge]] burst through the door of the ship's control room, alive and unharmed. Just as Surge begins to reflect on his adventure, a facsimile comes in at the ship's bridge, a summons for the lieutenant and all the other [[gym leaders]] to appear at the [[Pokémon Association]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. | |||
Back on the Whirl Islands, Silver speculates that someone could have struck Lugia with a [[PokéBall]] immediately before [[PS148|Crystal did]]. Silver abruptly brings out his {{p|Murkrow}}, guessing whoever attacked Lugia in the cave the culprit; the entire fight that the PokéDex holders had with the legendary Pokémon was a trap! Over Crystal's objections that he ought at least to speak to [[Prof. Oak#In the manga|Prof. Oak]] and [[Prof. Elm#In the manga|Prof. Elm]] before chasing Lugia's captor, Silver flies off clutching Murkrow's talon. Gold assures Crystal that Silver would not call the professors under any circumstances and, in spite of his old habit of warning Silver not to try to handle everything on his own, thinks well enough of this departure, he and Silver having this time a [[Masked Man|common enemy]]. Crystal worries (wondering what Gold could mean by that); then, startling her companion, remembers {{adv|Yellow}} and the [[Wilton|fisherman]]. Her [[PokéGear]] rings; Prof. Oak is on the line. She picks up: the professor states that he is aware of the unusual happenings near [[Cianwood City]] and has called to check on Crystal; in response and in one harried breath, Crystal tries to tell the professor of all that has happened to her of late and is stopped when she comes to her having lost Yellow. There is a meteorological crew on the way, Oak says, and he will tell them to look for Yellow. Furthermore, the professor needs Crystal to go to the [[Indigo Plateau]]; he was also going to ask Gold to go, but has been unable to reach him. Gold ''could'' be anywhere, but, as Crystal reveals, he is standing right next to her at the Whirl Islands! | |||
Silver flies high above the chain, landing at last on the southernmost isle, the only one that he and Gold have not yet visited. Its crag houses a whirlpool at back of which is a roaring waterfall. Touching down, Silver sends out {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, and {{tp|Silver|Feraligatr}} and orders them to use {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Surf}}, respectively. Astride Feraligatr, Silver sails over the calmed pool and steps through the parted fall into what appears to be a man-made chamber. "I'm back," he declares, taking a knee. From the darkness comes a voice affirming the place hidden to all except those with three {{t|Water}}-type Pokémon with a precise combination of talents; {{adv|Lance}} steps forward, congratulating Silver on his reaching the chamber. | |||
Lastly, we are shown a scene of [[Tohjo Falls]], where {{p|Suicune}} stands ready to make its choice. | |||
