SYNOPSIS

In Pokemon the Movie 2000, just one person can make a difference… In  the  Orange  Islands far south of Kanto, a Trainer named Lawrence is on a sinister quest:  catching  the  Legendary  Pokémon  Articuno, Zapdos,  and  Moltres  in an attempt to awaken Lugia, guardian of the sea! When Ash and friends arrive,  the  islanders  ask  him  to  gather three elemental orbs from different islands. As the weather across the world  goes  out  of  control,  it  becomes clear that the capture of the Legendary  trio  has  thrown  the  environment  out  of  balance!  With Lugia's  help,  can  Ash find the orbs, restore the balance, and be the 'chosen one' that everyone turns to?
