power of one

In the Orange Islands there is a legend that goes: Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice or lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash. Though the water's great guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone its song will fail, and thus the earth shall turn to ash. O Chosen One, into thine hands bring together all three. Their treasures combined tame the Beast of the Sea. This legend was dedicated to the three legendary birds of the Orange Islands; Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno, and it says that if the harmony of these three birds was to ever break apart, the world would be in total chaos.

High in the sky, in some sort of flying ship, a man was reading the description of the legend. His name was Lawrence and he was a collector. He traveled all around the world collecting very valuable artifacts, and now it was after something more valuable than all his collections put together. "Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno," Lawrence said "they will be perfect for my collection". Lawrence had a computer that could talk and right now it was explaining that Moltres lived on Fire Island, Zapdos lived on Lightning Island and Articuno lived on Ice Island. "Which island is closest?" Lawrence asked his computer. "Fire Island, the home of Moltres" the computer answered. "Then I shall catch Moltres first" Lawrence decided.

Lawrence got his flying ship ready to catch Moltres. His ship was only equipped with machines like giant propellers that made it fly, but it was also equipped with weapons like cannons. When he approached Fire Island, he fired great big balls of ice from his cannons at Fire Island. After Fire Island got covered in ice, Moltres appeared.

Moltres was angry with what had happened to his island and started to attack Lawrence's ship with flamethrower. First Lawrence blasted balls of ice to weaken Moltres, and then he used four big metallic, electrical rings to capture Moltres. Moltres was soon caught and sent into Lawrence's ship. "This is like a simple game of chess," smiled Lawrence, after his successful capture of Moltres, "I will catch Zapdos next, then Articuno and then I will obtain the beast of the sea, Lugia".

Because of Moltres's capture, trouble was going to happen to the whole world.

Meanwhile Ash and the gang were out at sea, on a boat. The weather was gorgeous and no sign of trouble was heading their way. "What a great day" said Ash, stretching his arms. "I agree," said Misty "the weather today is gorgeous". "Hey I have an idea," said Tracey "let's bring out our  pokemon to enjoy the weather as well". Misty liked that idea, and asked the owner of the boat, Maren, if they could do that. "Of course," said Maren "we won't be on the next island for a while, so all of you can just relax". Ash sent out Lapras, Espeon, Dragonair, Flareon and Ivysaur. Misty sent out Gloom, Staryu, Poliwags and Psyduck. Tomo sent out Farfetch'd, Pikachu and Cubone. Tracey sent out Marill, Venonat and Scyther. All the  pokemon were relaxing, except Ash's Pikachu and Tomo's Growlithe. Pikachu and Growlithe was staring seriously at the sky, as if he could sense that something very wrong was about to happen.

At first everything seemed peaceful and normal, but then it all suddenly changed. Dark grey clouds quickly appeared in the sky and it started to rain really hard with howls of wind, worst of all, really rough waves started to build up in the ocean. Ash, Tomo, Misty and Tracey quickly returned their  pokemon for safety, and hanged on tightly to the boat so not to fall overboard. "Where did this storm come from?!" shouted Misty. "I don't know!" shouted Ash "but it certainly came out of nowhere". Maren did her best to try to take control of the boat, but it wasn't easy with a rough storm about. A big school of Magikarp was swimming near them. They seemed fuller of life than usual and they swam with the boat, as if they were helping control the boat.

Maren soon noticed that they were heading towards an island. "That's Shamouti Island," she said to the gang "we are in the middle of the Orange Islands. I'm going to port the boat there". The gang agreed with Maren's decision; after all sailing in a storm is very dangerous!
