Lively Lugia I/Lugia (Part I) (Japanese:VSルギアI VS.Lugia I) is the 146th round of the Gold, Silver & Crystal arc in the Pokémon Adventures manga.
Plot
We see Yellow, Crystal, and Wilton aboard the latter's ship, which, along with the S.S. Aqua is borne aloft by Lugia's psychic power. Someone aboard the Aqua calls to Lt. Surge below for help as Gold announces that every ship in the area is levitating in a similar fashion. Silver guesses that psychic power of such magnitude must be the work of Lugia; upon this revelation, the same legendary Pokémon fires an Aeroblast at the crag on which Silver, Gold, and Surge have been standing. The three avoid the blast; then, Lugia plunges the Aqua back into the sea, causing a tidal wive to form. In an instant, Silver calls out Murkrow and flies off over Gold's objections and despite Lugia's repeated blasts. Surge, we then find, has escaped the wave by way of his levitating Magneton and he then finds that Gold has escaped as well by the same method; the lieutenant expresses his annoyance, but Gold callously makes himself Surge's responsibility, stating that he has neither a flying nor a surfing Pokémon. As Silver flies out of sight, Surge dodges an Aeroblast with Gold's warning. In return for Lt. Surge's having saved Gold's possessions (in the previous chapter), Gold agrees to tell all that he knows about the Masked Man, which information Surge had previously requested.
They fought the Masked Man twice, Gold reveals, and his strategy relies heavily upon ice: he uses previously unheard of techniques and froze an entire lake in seconds. Surge privately reflects that the Gyarados he found there was frozen indeed and that, when he fought the Masked Man, his adversary did not even attempt the use of ice. Gold leaves off this narrative, having revealed all that he knows; the more pressing issue is dealing with Lugia.
Below, Wilton, released, along with Yellow, Crystal, and his ship from Lugia's psychic clutches asks the two girls if they are well; but Yellow, looking skyward, only answers that the Pokémon is the same one she saw over Cerise Island: she says that it was said to have vanished into the Western skies after a battle with Lance. Crystal's PokéDex beeps; Yellow suggests that this is because of the Resonance System: when three PokéDexes (in the possession of their rightful owners) draw close to each other, they beep. But Lugia's blast interrupts; the little boat, rent in two, begins to sink as Crystal recalls that Prof. Oak told her of two other PokéDex holders in Johto.
Silver, still grasping Murkrow's airborne talon, reflects that the Sandslash (from the previous chapter) were hiding from Lugia; but why, he asks, is Lugia going berserk? But then he spots Wilton's boat: releasing himself from Murkrow, mounting Croconaw, he heads for the doomed vessel. Gold spots the same scene; he and Quilava promptly leap from the lieutenant's force-field and speed for the boat. He and Silver at once put forth their hands to help Crystal, who, awakening, chides them for a pair of delinquents. Their PokéDexes all beep at once: the very three PokéDexes, they understand, given by Prof. Elm and the professor's three starter Pokémon as well have been reunited. Another Aeroblast hits the water and the severed ship leaps into the air; once it has hit the water again, Silver orders Croconaw to ready itself to leave, but Gold tells him that all three starters are prepared to fight the Diving Pokémon and that they ought to be given a chance.
