Saffron City: Difference between revisions

Saffron City first appeared in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'' and ''[[PS027|Kalling Kadabra]]'', where it was revealed that [[Team Rocket]] had managed to capture all three {{adv|Legendary birds}} and was keeping their base at the [[Silph Co.]] building, along with the citizens of [[Pallet Town]], whom they had kidnapped. Due to guards blocking the [[gate]]s and an invisible barrier surrounding the city, it seemed impossible to get in. However, thanks to some cooperation between {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}, they were able to discover that the barrier was actually a {{m|Light Screen}} cast by a {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it using teamwork between [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]]'s {{m|Substitute}} clone and [[Blue's Golduck]], lifting the barrier and allowing the [[Pokédex holder]]s to enter the city.

The Pokédex holders subsequently stormed the Silph Co. and battled against the evil [[Gym Leader]]s serving for Team Rocket; [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]], and the Legendary birds they controlled. Using a device called the Badge Energy Amplifier, {{adv|Green}} accidentally fused the three Legendary birds into one being, {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}}. With their combined efforts, the three Pallet Town Trainers managed to defeat the creature and separate it back into its three original forms, which then fled. The building proceeded to collapse into ruins during the ensuing chaos.
