Articuno uses Blizzard, and a strong wind hits Team Rocket. Team Rocket comes crashing down, and Arbok attacks Articuno with Poison Sting, Weezing attacking with Sludge. Todd says that Articuno has saved them again. Pikachu and Jigglypuff find Ash and Todd, and Ash remarks that they are not hurt. Jigglypuff expands and floats to the ground with Pikachu on its back. Pikachu jumps off the cliff to help Ash, and Jigglypuff jumps after. The falling ice breaks the cliff, and Ash and Todd tumble down. Articuno dodges the attack, and the Ice Beam hits the snowy peak, causing chunks of ice to break off. Jessie calls on Wobbuffet, which uses Mirror Coat, reflecting the attack back at Articuno. The Poison Sting does not hurt Articuno, and Articuno fights back with Ice Beam. Arbok starts the attack with Poison Sting.

Team Rocket calls on Arbok and Weezing to battle Articuno. James replies that Articuno can help them again, by letting them bring it back to the Boss. The attacker is identified as Team Rocket, and Ash asks why Team Rocket is doing this, for Articuno helped them. Todd tries to take a picture of Articuno, but something attacks it. On this, Ash realizes that Articuno saved them.

Ash looks down, seeing that they were about to walk off a cliff that they could not see before due to the snow. Ash takes a step closer, and Articuno cries out. Todd cries out that it is Articuno, and the group stops and stares at it. Ash asks Pikachu what is it, and suddenly a Pokémon flies in front of them. The snow falls harder, and Pikachu calls out twice. Misty cries out that it is snowing again. They climb up the peak, Jigglypuff following them. Todd wants to find Articuno immediately and Ash and his companions run after him. Team Rocket tells their story, and Todd concludes that Articuno must have helped them, like Nurse Joy told the group. Ash cries out that it is Team Rocket, who had fallen to the ground with the snow. Suddenly a wind blows and snow begins to fall, then stops. Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny lead them outside to an Articuno statue, of which Ash says is cool. Nurse Joy hears them talking, and tells them they have come to the right place, for Articuno lives on Snow Top Peak and that it helps people in trouble. Officer Jenny replies that Articuno is a rare Pokémon, and not many people have seen it. Todd tells Officer Jenny that he wants to take a picture of Articuno. They arrive at a Pokémon Center, with Officer Jenny there. The Pokémon takes Team Rocket to a safe place.Īsh and his companions continue to climb Snow Top Peak, not aware of Team Rocket nearby. A Pokémon flies down from the sky, snow falling around it. Jessie wails that they are going to freeze. Team Rocket is also climbing Snow Top Peak, but is in trouble, stuck on a ledge. Ash states that they can climb to the top. Jigglypuff points to the top of Snow Top Peak. Once Jigglypuff is thawed, Misty asks if Jigglypuff knows where Articuno is.


Golbat finds something, but it is not Articuno and instead Jigglypuff, frozen. Brock calls on his Golbat, who uses its Sonic power to find Articuno. The book starts with a recapitulation of the goal the group is on in the book: To help their friend, Todd, look for Articuno.
