The movie starts out with a guy (his name is Lawrence III) who is a pokemon collector trying to capture the 3 legendary birds. His first target is Moltres and he successfully captures it. Then he moves onto his second target.

We see Ash, Misty, and Tracey moving along to the Orange League. They decide to stop for a rest and then they see a new person appear. The new person takes them onto her boat and they enjoy the ride. They decide to also let their pokemon out. Little do they know that Team Rocket are traveling with them in a mechanical Magikarp machine. Unfortunately for Team Rocket, they get drifted away by a swarm of Magikarp. Suddenly, a storm appears and the boat swishes back and forth against the strong waves. They notice an island up ahead and they land there. Then they see a tribe with masks on. One of the people from the tribe and takes her mask off. Her name is Carol and the boat driver knows her. The boat driver says that Ash is a pokemon trainer. One of the people in the tribe tells Ash that the annual celebration of the 3 legendary birds is tomorrow and that he will be given a certain task to do. The villagers then lead the group to the big celebration.

The celebration begins. While Ash, Misty, and Tracey are eating, Carol gets up and plays her flute. When she is done, she tells Ash that he must get 3 different balls for 3 different islands. Ash is excited and agrees to do it. he leaves now to do it. Melody thinks that it is a bad idea, but the boat drivers takes him anyway.

They head to Fire Island where the first ball is held. They arrive at Fire Island to find the first ball. As soon as they arrive, Pikachu runs up the stairs and Ash follows it. The weather gets worse and we see Prof. Oak back in Pallet Town. He goes to Mrs. Ketchum's house and meets up with her and Mr. Mime. It starts to rain and Prof. Oak contacts Prof. Ivy, The 2 professors go to TV News and explain the source of the bad weather.

Melody sees the bad weather and they go onto Melody's boat to save Ash. Team Rocket also jumps onbaord Melod's boat and they hide beneath a blanket. When they arrive at Fire Island, Melody uses her boat as a sail boat and glides up the stairs. They meet Ash. Ash takes the first ball and puts it in his pocket. As he does, Zapdos appears who sends electricity everywhere. Pikachu sends bolts of electricity to Zapdos. Meowth explains that Zapdos is saying that since Moltres is gone, he rules Fire Island. Lawrence III appears and tries to capture Zapdos, his next target. He sends out those rings again and captures Zapdos, but he also captures the kids. The kids and Zapdos are taken inside his ship. Lawrence III releases the kids and says that he must now capture Articuno. The kids are inside the ship. They see Moltres and Zapdos all trapped in the rings. Ash says that they must free Moltres and Zapdos. Ash calls out all of his pokemon and Team Rocket calls out their pokemon too. All the pokemon attack the rings surrounding Moltres and Moltres breaks free. Using fire attacks, Moltres frees Zapdos.

Meanwhile, Lawrence III is shooting fire balls at Ice Island. Articuno comes out and dodges the fire balls. The Moltres and Zapdos come out and destroy the ship itself. Articuno does some destruction as well. The ship lands on Lightning Island. They run to the lightning shrine and Ash picks up the second ball. Suddenly, a water cyclone appears and out comes Lugia. Melody notices that Lugia makes the same noise as her flute. Then Lugia battles the 3 legendary birds.

Ash then goes to the main shrine and meets Slowking. Slowking tells Ash to put the balls onto another shrine. Ash does so and realizes that he only has 2 of the 3 balls. Ash notices lots of different pokemon watching. Ash sees the 3 birds fighting Lugia at once. The birds are too much for Lugia and Lugia falls in the ocean. Meldoy then plays her flute which reivies Lugia. Lugia explains to Ash that he must obtain the Ice Ball. Ash realizes that he is the chosen one and agrees. Ash sees a part from the ship and uses it as a sled. He ties Charizard to the sled and Charizard starts pulling it. The 3 birds attacks Ash but they miss.

Prof. Oak, Prof. Ivy, and Mrs. Ketchum are in a helicoptor and they are in the middle of the battle. The crash into the Main Shrine and meet up with the rest of the group. Team Rocket finds an inflatable boat and they go to help Ash. The inflatable boat takes them to the Ice Shrine where Ash picks up the third ball. Then Lugia comes and tells Ash to get on his back for a ride back to the main shrine. Team Rocket hop on Lugia's leg. While they are going back to the main shrine, Team Rocket says that they are too heavy and they let go of Lugia and fall into the water.

Lawrence III comes and sends rings at Lugia. Lugia gets angry and sends a hyper beam at the ship which totally destroys it. Lugia says that he has failed and falls in the water. Ash manages to get off of Lugia but also falls in the water. A tornado and lightning storm appear and they surround Ash. Melody sees Ash and Misty dives into the water to save him. She saves Ash and pulls him to the shore. Ash then gets revived. Ash gets up and puts the Ice Ball onto the shrine. Melody plays her flute and everything becomes cured.

Mrs. Ketchum comes and says that Ash is in big trouble and that Ash means a lot to her. Lugia comes and gives Ash a ride. Lugia thanks him for what he has done and says, "The beast of the sea is now tamed."
