"Thou shalt never capture a
god of fire, a god of thunder, and a god of ice
For if thou do, the anger of the three god will evoke and the god of marine would
destroy Heaven and Earth; the world we know would fall to ruins."
By The Legend of A-Shia Island


The
movie starts off with Slowking sitting on the beach looking up at the sky. The slowking
see's Moltres, the legendary fire Pokémon. Slowking is excited that he just caught a
glympse of a Mystical Pokémon. Then Slowking notices there is a large island floating up
there. This is an artificial Floating Island that was created by Jirarudan, and he is up
there to catch the Mystical Pokémon. Jirarudan is a pokemon collector out to capture the
most rare and mysterious Pokemon of all, Lugia.No one has ever see it, but it is written
that it will appear when all three of the Legendary Birds are brought together in one
place. It is for this reason that each bird has its own Island. He attacks it with ice,
freezing the island and injuring Moltres. Weakened, Jirarudan is able to capture Moltres
using an electric net. Moltres... was captured.
The flying fortress moves on toward the island of Thunder, and the weather begins to take a turn for the worst...
After Ash collected all the
badges, he was his way to achieve his goal of becoming the #1 Pokémon Master. When he was
battling in the Pokemon League, he lost. Therefore, Ash, Brock, Misty, and Pikachu took
the Tatsuichi line, a ship, on their way to the Orange Islands to seek out new Pokémon.
They have just let their Pokemon out of their balls to relax when a storm blows in. Their
ship is badly shaken, but the captain manages to get it into the port (all but destroying
it in the process), and end up on the A-Shia Island, one of the many Orange Islands. Team
Rocket are following Ash in their submarine, the Mecha-MagiKarp, and are hit by the same
storm. They hit something and lose their rudder. Helpless, they are swept up in a school
of REAL MagiKarp, which carry them towards the port but land them on the rocks instead...
Misty's mom is out on her front lawn when Professor Oak comes up on his bike, commenting on the nice weather. Out of nowhere, a herd of Digletts come down the road, picking up Oak's bike and carrying it with them down the road. Behind the Digletts come another huge group of Pokémon, heading in the same direction, South. Dumbfounded, the two notice that it has started to snow even though it is the middle of the summer...
Having landed at Ashia Island, Slowking tells them what he saw. But first Slowking warns the group that capturing any of the birds is a bad sign. Ash and his friends get off the damaged boat, only to be surrounded by a group of strangely dressed people. One takes off his mask and explains that there is a festival going on to celebrate the Pokémon Gods.
They are introduced to Furora, the Miko (a
young girls who acts as the messenger for the gods) for the ceremony. She seems to like
Ash, but gets on Misty's bad side (she first asks if Misty is Ash's sister, then his
girlfriend.) The group leaves the beach for a pavilion where the ceremony will take place.
All time during the ceremony, the masked men seemed to be repeating one thing, or what
they so-called the legend of Orange Island:
"Thou shalt never capture a god of
fire, a god of thunder, and a god of ice
For if thou do, the anger of the three god will evoke and the god of marine would
destroy Heaven and Earth; the world we know would fall to ruins."
But what happened though is that this very legend attracted the greedy Pokémon collector Jirarudan into coming to the Islands. He heard of the powers the three legendary birds and also believe that he would be wealthy beyond his dreams if he was to capture them.
Ash set out on the boat to the Island of Fire on the stormy sea and Team Rocket hitches a ride with them. Upon reaching the island, Ash runs from the boat up the stairs to the top of the mountain, where Moltres's shrine is located and where he will find the power crystal...
Misty and Furora decide to follow the others in a better boat. Team Rocket is climbing the stairs up the mountain when Furura's boat propelled up the mountain stairs by a wind sail jumps over them and into the depression on top of the mountain. Ash has gotten the stone and get ready to get into the boat for the trip back down when who should appear but Zapados! He is looking for Moltres and is very scared of something. He begins shooting out thunderbolts, his way of communicating. Pikachu begins to thunderbolt back, explaining why they are there and what they know. Their conversation is cut short when something from about begins to draw Zapdos's electricity away...
Above them in the Sky hovers the Flying Island. Zapdos gets mad and attacks Jirarudan.. Jirarudan attacks back at Zapados and he's captured like Moltres and imprisoned in the fortress. Now Ash and Furura know exactly what is causing the unbalance in nature. Ash and the others are now on a quest to rescue the birds from their captor.
Once they're on the ship, they find the area
where the Legendary birds are imprisoned. They're being held by the electric fields that
they were captured in. They all notice that their Pokémon are acting strangely and Furura
concludes that the unbalance between the legendary birds affects the behavior of the
Pokémon. At about this time halfway across the world, Professor Oak is trying to explain
the same thing to frightened people everywhere. Ash found
the legendary birds
but he had no idea how to get it out.
He then called out all his Pokemon and use
Electricity, Water, Fire, and Plant, and ,surprisingly, the cage blew up. But they birds
are already outraged about their capture and not knowing who to trust, the birds attack
Ash and his friends before leaving the fortress.

Meanwhile on the
floating island articuno emerges from the clouds. Articuno flies around the Floating
Island, Jirarudan attempts to capture Articuno but he fails. While Jiraldin is busy trying
to capture Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos joined him. In the distance, Pokemons are watching
the deep strategy of the upcoming scene.
Now the birds are circling the
ocean, they begin to shoot out blasts of fire, lightning, and ice..all combining into one
gigantic blast. Who knew that this was the summon of awakening of the
Mighty Lugia. The ocean rumbles and a huge whirlpool appears. Deep in the water, the eye
of Lugia opened. Slowking is watching from the Island and he seems to know what is
happening
to the fait of the world, Slowking is troubled and walks away. Back in the rumbling ocean
the water starts to bubble. The whirlpool emerges from the sea
forming a water
spout and at the top of the spout a huge mysterious Pokémon emerges from the sea. It is
Lugia, God of Marine!! Lugia joins the 3 birds to turn their wrath on all humanity. Furora
tells them about Lugia and that his presence means the destruction of the world. But Ash
soon finds out that Jirarudan has an ulterior motive and had intended to capture Lugia all
along.
Ash runs towards Lugia and tries
to warn him of the traps and plans that Jirarudan has already made for his capture. Lugia
ignores the warnings
but allows Ash to hop on before he begins
his attack on the Flying Island. But Jirarudan was prepared for this and fires an electric
cage, the same that had captured the birds, at Lugia. Lugia is knocked out by the attack
and plummets into the sea. He recuperates, and continues his attack with the Birds until
they finally destroy the Flying Island.
Ash falls into the water but is
fished out by Team Rocket who was out on their little raft. Misty, Furora and Brock are
back on shore watching the battle from afar. Furura knows that Lugia will not stop at just
destroying the Flying Island however. If he remains free, he will destroy the world. The
only way to trap Lugia is to using Furura's ocarina and a Master Ball to capture Lugia in.
With the help of the Legendary birds and Furura, Ash traps Lugia in the Master ball. Even
though the legend no longer exist, the world is once again saved by Ash.
