"Mirage Pokémon: Lugia's Explosive Birth"
REVELATION LUGIA
The Flame God, the Lightning God, and the Ice God must not be disturbed.
Should you do so, nature shall be angered, and the world shall face destruction.
The Ocean God shall arise to try and stop the disaster,
but will fail to prevent the world's devastation.
A great controller shall come forth, to calm the wrath of the gods.
The one I want isn't the Flame God, the Lightning God, nor the Ice God.
The Ocean God.
Preliminary results show that the Flame God is the mysterious Pokémon, Fire.
Fire resides in the Orange Islands, at the outskirts of Earthia,
and is a one-of-a-kind species.
The Lightning God is Thunder.
And the Ice God is Freezer.
Like Fire, Thunder and Freezer reside in the Orange Islands, in the outskirts of Earthia.
Analysis shows that they, too, are one-of-a-kind species.
As I thought, Earthia Island.
While I do want to have all of those Pokémon,
my true goal is something far greater.
Three mysterious Pokémon life signals were detected.
Fire, Freezer and Thunder.
I found them.
Which one is the closest?
Fire, in Flame Island.
Checkmate in sight.
My collection has grown by one more.
This is the Flame God, Fire.
The next one to collect is the Lightning God, Thunder.
And then Freezer.
But for my ultimate collection item,
I will get one never seen before. The Legendary Ocean God...
Lugia.

I'll celebrate whether I win or lose, so let's battle, a Pokemon Battle!
I feel so disappointed at having lost
that I ended up trembling, but
I'm loosening up my clenched fist
and wiping the sweat on my jeans, so I can shake your hand!
The flow of time's mysterious, isn't it?
"Do you remember who won?"
And now, look! I can laugh while talking to you
"Let's forget it!," I said while playing dumb - those are my rivals
Blue sky and white clouds, extending all around the ocean.
This is the South Ocean: The Orange Islands.
Aspiring Pokémon Master Satoshi & co. continue traveling across the islands.
- I feel great! - This really is great, huh, Togepy?
With weather like this, you should let the Pokémon out.
Good idea!
It's still going to be a while before we reach the shore.
All right! Everybody, come out!
We were thrown this far to the north?
This is Earthia Island, in the Orange Islands' sea.
An island?
- We're saved! - This rocks!
But what's this?
- We're stuck as usual. - This sucks?
Oh, Satoshi's mother, there's finally some harvests.
Ah, Dr. Ōkido!
Today's good weather is good to help grow tomatoes, but it's very hard.
It's worth it even if it's hard. Today's weather is really nice!
- What was that? - What just happened?
Oh, my! Cherry blossom petals...
Snow?
It's summer now... it's snowing in summer?
Just what...?
What's wrong?
What's happening?
What's going on? What could be causing this sudden change in nature?
We humans don't know what's happening, but Pokémon are far more sensitive to nature.
We're safe now.
We're really lucky we made it through.
Are we really safe?
Oh my, if it isn't Mi-chan!
It's been a while...
Ah, Yo-chan, how've you been?
It's been five years since you've last came.
But what's with those clothes?
It's for a festival! This island's festival begins today.
You've always been the festival maiden.
- You'd play your flute and all. - Not anymore.
I'm not a child anymore, so my little sister's the festival girl now.
Let's see, little sister, little sister...
What "little sister"? Who's the festival girl?!
You're the one who should be wearing those clothes, big sister!
Why are you dressed like that? Why aren't you wearing your festival dress?
No way I'd do that! Why would I wear such an old dress?
And the festival doesn't start until tonight, right?
Oh geez...
This is my little sister, Frula.
Even with an attitude like this, she still gets to be the festival's maiden.
This is Satoshi-kun, a Pokémon Trainer.
A Pokémon Trainer?!
Listen to me.
When the end of the world draws near, the Ocean God shall appear.
A great controller shall calm the Gods' anger.
And a controller is basically a Trainer!
Are you that controller?
Relax, relax, just pretend that I'm reading a script.
You're a Pokémon Trainer?
Oh, well. Customs, customs. Welcome.
Eh?
Are you his sister?
Who's his sister?!
Then you're his girlfriend, right?
Who...?
Never mind, never mind.
But if you're following him to a place like this, you honestly have no taste.
So, let the festival begin!
- So true, so true. - Right?
Really?
Who's his "sister"? Who's his "girlfriend"?
And who has no taste?!
Where'd that girl go just now?
She's that girl over there! I can tell!
Frula...
Frula?
You've got good taste.
When nature is angered, and the world walks towards destruction,
the Ocean God will appear. A great controller shall calm the Gods' anger.
Satoshi-sama, if you really are the great controller,
then you must show us proof!
And by "proof," you mean...?
I'm Frula.
Ah, I know that, but... umm...
Don't be so nervous, this is just a custom.
We've got no choice but to say it.
Frula!
Actually, getting the proof isn't hard at all.
Retrieve the three treasures from the three islands.
Then just place them at the lookout.
And I play my flute for the Gods.
Just like that. Isn't it easy?
And these treasures, where are they?
In the temples, on the three islands.
Don't worry! We'll take you to each island on a boat, and then you just have to walk some stairs to reach the temple.
OK! I'll go now, then!
You don't have to rush! The festival only ends tomorrow.
You can go tomorrow morning! Just rest a bit for now.
If I can do it today, then I'll do it today.
Good things must be done fast. That's... No, that is my principle!
You said it.
All right! Then it's settled!
- I'll use my boat to take you to the islands. - Thanks! Kasumi, wanna go?
Who? I'm not your sister, your girlfriend or your bodyguard!
Pikachu!
Wait, Pikachu!
- No matter what the danger, - Even against large waves,
- We're indestructible. - Yeah.
- Wasn't that...? - The brat boy?
And Pikachu...
The Flame God, the Lightning God and the Ice God must not be disturbed.
Not good...
Getting the treasure wasn't supposed to be hard!
It was all a lie...
It's not easy...
Getting the treasure in this storm's going to be pretty hard...
- Big sister, lend me a boat. - What can you do in this storm?
We can't let people get in danger over this worthless festival. I won't let anything happen to him!
It's my fault.
- Why are you following me? - I'm going too.
And I'm not his sister or girlfriend or anything. But I'm going anyway.
Why?
Oh, I see. That's why you're following him.
I'm not following him! I wanted to go somewhere else, but the big waves pushed us here!
I'm going too!
We're lucky we bumped into them,
or we'd have missed our chance.
Until now, the three powers were balanced.
I have now taken one away.
It was merely the lowest one though.
Thunder detected moving towards Flame Island.
There have been sudden weather changes throughout the world. This is due to the shifting in the ocean currents.
This planet's currents lie at the bottom of the ocean. Weather and nature throughout the world will be affected if these currents change.
This odd current change does seem to be the reason.
The odd current change's central point is in the Orange Islands' ocean.
The Orange Islands?
That's where Satoshi and his friends are...
It's the phone.
This is Uchikido from the Orange Islands.
Oh, Uchikido-kun!
The Pokémon in the Orange Islands are acting strangely.
- There it is. - But what's happening with the ocean?
It's out of control!
We made it here, but...
- Pikachu! Where are you going? - Wait!
The weather's still dangerous!
Stay here for a bit, Captain! I'm going after Pikachu!
Hold on tight!
- Not bad! - Driving a boat is easy for us of Earthia Island.
I have a team of water-type Pokémon, so I'm not afraid of waves!
Somebody help!
Captain, are you all right?
Thanks! You guys saved me!
Also, do you need any help?
Where's Satoshi-kun?
We're falling!
It's a sailboat!
Huge success!
- Oh my! - Awesome!
- We're going up! - That's it, that's good!
This wind's perfect!
- After Satoshi? - Of course! We've got to save Satoshi-kun, after all!
Let's go.
Right!
Fire, resistance is futile.
Wait for a bit. Soon I will obtain another one.
Thunder has moved into Fire's territory.
Pikachu!
- Brat boy? - Pikachu?
- We're really lucky. - All right!
- Pikachu... - We'll get 'chū!
So this is the treasure?
Hand over your Pikachu!
What's that?
"What's that," you ask?
Our answer is "world compassion."
Don't bother answering, Team Rocket!
I'm in a hurry here! And the weather's bad to boot.
That's true. The weather really does suck.
So hurry and hand over that Pikachu!
What's that?!
Ah! There you are!
Geez! Coming here in this weather... How can you be so stupid?!
He's always like that. Now you know how bad I have it.
I get it! You're following him around because you like him, right?
No!
Enough. Why are you talking about love-hate relationships between brats?
- You're 10 years too early. - Even we still don't talk about it.
Whatever. You two are all love-love all the time, anyway...
- What did you say?! - What was that?
That's... Thunder!
Pikachu, don't do it!
Pikachu!
What are you doing? Those small attacks won't hurt him!
He ain't attackin'. He's talkin' to that thing.
"This is Fire's Island. Why are you here?"
- That's what he's sayin'. - I see.
- Continue! - Continue!
"The island's owner ain't here, so it I'm its new master now."
"This is my island now."
Beginning absorption of Thunder's electricity.
A Pokémon's electric power is like its life.
Now only Freezer is left. He'll appear soon.
Sorry to disturb you.
When we caught Thunder, we also caught something else.
Something else?
Thunder?
Fire!
That's...
"The Flame God, the Lightning God, and the Ice God must not be disturbed..."
I was not expecting to have you as guests.
But no matter.
The Flame God, Fire, and the Lightning God, Thunder.
This is my new collection.
Wait, old man! After you catch a Pokémon, why not put them in a Monster Ball?
This is a waste!
I am not a Pokémon Trainer.
I am a merely a collector.
If they cannot be observed with your eyes, then you cannot truly call it a collection.
I shall let you look at my collection. But please, keep your hands off it.
It's proper etiquette, after all.
Freezer has begun to move.
So you came out, Ice God.
The Ice God, Freezer...
What you just witnessed was the Orange Islands' ocean currents at Earthia changing.
We have also received reports that Pokémon throughout the world are headed to Earthia Island.
Water-type Pokémon are swimming across the ocean.
Those unable to cross the ocean are standing on the patch of land closest to Earthia.
Here with us, we have doctors Ōkido and Uchikido to explain the problem.
Earthia Island is the location of the legendary Flame God, Lightning God, and Ice God.
If we look at this from a scientific point-of-view...
When the Flame God melts the ice created by the Ice God, an underwater current is created.
So those are the ocean currents?
And adding the Lightning God's electricity, it creates large amounts of protein, the basis of life.
So what's happening?
What I mean is:
The three gods balance each other, causing the planet's ocean currents to move normally.
These currents are what allow for the existence of life.
It's how everything was born.
But given this sudden change, I believe something happened to those three powers, destroying that balance.
The Pokémon must sense that the planet is facing destruction.
And that's why they want to do what they can to help.
But they know they'd be useless by themselves,
which is why the Pokémon are all moving towards a single place.
And you?
My son's in the Orange Islands somewhere!
He's usually so careless. I can't help but worry when he's there by himself. Don't you agree?
So troubling.
Frula...
Is the South Ocean going to split into bits?
The Flame God, the Lightning God and the Ice God must not be disturbed.
Should you do so, nature shall be angered, and the world shall face destruction.
The legend's about to come true!
If the world's destroyed, there's no more Pokémon left to steal.
- Then we'll... - What'll happen?
We'll lose our jobs...
We've got to do something!
Let's save Fire and Thunder!
But how do we do that?!
Why, you...
To melt ice, you use fire.
Lizardón, we need your help!
Seems fire and electricity aren't enough!
There's a very strong barrier around it!
We'll help, too!
- Kojirō, call Matadogas! - Right!
Hurry up, get going!
You don't have to tell me that!
Arbok, attack with Poison Sting!
Zenigame, Fushigidane, come on!
It's a Water Gun/100.000 volts combo.
Once the water is affected by the electricity, it separates,
becoming H₂ and O.
And with the Flamethrower...
Everybody duck!
Unable to fly. Unable to fly.
We need to land on Lightning Island.
Incoming!
- Oh, man... Those guys... - Are very angry.
Looks like it's gonna be hard to decide. I ain't gonna care anymore!
This is...
A life boat! A life boat!
The treasures.
Over there.
The treasures?
These?
Flame Island.
Lightning Island.
Two?
Missing one.
I'm missing one... What do you mean?
Stop it!
The Ocean God... Lugia!
The Ocean God?
Lugia?
This sound...
The Ocean God, Lugia.
The one I always desired.
I have long awaited you, Lugia.
The Ocean God.
He only appears if the world's about to be destroyed... But sadly, he doesn't have the power to save it.
So troubling...
Satoshi's always getting himself in danger! There's no helping it!
Right now we're in the same danger...
No, the whole world is in danger.
And I think the Pokémon know it better than anyone else.
They know they can't do anything to help,
but they're brave and refuse to sit and watch at the sidelines.
So troubling...
Unless we can find the great controller, the gods' anger won't be calmed.
The great controller?
We only have two treasures.
If the great controller appears, can the world can be saved?
Wait, that means... No way! Satoshi?!
I see, so that's what it was about.
Me? It's really me?
W-Wait a minute! I want to become a Pokémon Master,
but to save the world?
We know it's not easy...
But it seems you're the right person, Satoshi.
But wasn't this festival thing supposed to be really easy?
It was supposed to be an easy task.
Sorry, I had no idea it'd turn out like this...
There's lots of things we can't expect, but...
Don't blame yourself, it's not always like this.
Then what do I do now?
Wait, if this is really true, then this flute...
Thank you for blowing that soothing flute tune for me.
However, that flute is not enough to calm the rage of three monsters.
What do you mean?
The Flame God, the Lightning God and the Ice God's treasures...
can mix with the ocean's flute sound, and cease their anger.
The only one who can do this is the great controller.
He is the only human who can do it.
Am I this "great-whatever person"?
You have already retrieved two of the treasures. The only one left is the Ice treasure.
So we have to go there?
You are the only one who can save the world now.
Me...?
Pikachu...
You guys too...
Guys...
And I'm just...
Kasumi. Kenji. Frula-san.
- Satoshi... - Satoshi-kun...
Let's go save the world! We have to try!
I said I'd do it...
It's still a long way to go...
This is much better! Thanks, guys!
Satoshi...
- He gets to be the cool one... - It's always about them.
Seems we ain't gonna get to show off today...
We can do it!
So we can only get this far?
What? What's that?
- "What's that," you ask? - Our answer is "world compassion."
To protect the world from devastation...
To preserve world peace....
To denounce the evils of truth and love!
We're the lovely, charming villains...
- Musashi! - Kojirō!
The Team Rocket duo that soars through the galaxy!
Like a white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us.
Somethin' like that.
Team Rocket...
Why?
The world's crisis is everyone's crisis!
- In order to save the world, - Evil and justice must join forces!
- Aiming for the same goal! - For world peace! A world where we can steal things.
What are you talkin' about? Our goal's Ice Island!
Yeah!
- Kojirō! Nyarth! - Roger!
Over there!
This ain't the time to space out! Hurry and bring the treasure back!
- Yeah! - You're right!
Up there!
- Of course!
- Got the treasure?
Get on!
Pikachu!
Wait, we're coming too!
Hold on tight!
- Could it be that we're... - Too heavy?
- Exactly! - If that's right, then you're right...
- Seems this is where we get off. - To protect the world from devastation...
This time we'll let go...
- A white tomorrow... - Awaits us?
Somethin' like that!
- Team Rocket! - You're the main character!
Team Rocket!!!
- The ocean's below us... - But it's an ice ocean now...
It's gonna hurt...
- It's gonna hurt... - We're gonna die...
That's bad...
Amazing. Are those really Pokémon?
Yes. Every Pokémon living on this planet.
But why are they doing this?
We cannot abandon our homes.
What does that mean?
Your partners want to protect their world just as much as you do.
I, too, have to do my part.
Satoshi...
Satoshi-kun...
I'll... I'll do it!
Hey!!!
Splendid...
This shall be the top item in my collection.
It's all over...
Hold this. I'm going after Satoshi-kun.
This is your flute. Your instrument.
He's my burden...
...right?
Satoshi!
Pikachu! Leave it to me.
Satoshi!
- Satoshi, hang in there! Satoshi! - Satoshi!
Satoshi, hang in there!
The treasure...!
Satoshi...
Hurry. I have to hurry.
Satoshi-kun!
Great controller...
- This is it, right? - The third treasure.
What's going on?
Frula!
Everything is back to normal. Everything is back to normal.
The ocean currents are back to normal, as the Pokémon...
If I am to continue to protect the planet,
then it is best if I were to remain just a mystery.
Satoshi! Satoshi!
We finally got here...
Mom!
Satoshi! I saw everything! How could you do something so dangerous?!
But Satoshi saved the world!
So what?! You're still a child, you shouldn't be doing things like that!
Saving the world? Risking your life?
If something happened to you, if you were gone...
If my son was gone...!
You're what holds my world!
Satoshi, what do you want from this world?
I wanna be a Pokémon Master.
Then don't overdo it.
Work hard for your goal.
I know.
All right! Let's stop wasting time!
Let's go back to Masara Town!
- We're saved. - We really are indestructible.
We're still alive.
Who are you?
A very troubling thing happened,
but fortunately, it's all right now.
Yeah. It really is a perfect ending.
- Then... - Now...
This rocks!!!

Your important world, stronger than anyone else.
