Blurb
On their quest to capture Articuno on film, Todd and our heroes run into a frozen Jigglypuff! Ash uses his Cyndaquil to defrost the melodious Pokémon. When Todd asks Jigglypuff if it has seen Articuno, Jigglypuff nods towards Snow Top Mountain. Undeterred by the incredible height and icy conditions, the gang heads up the mountain where they run into a Pokécenter. Both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy explain the legend of Articuno; Centuries ago, a group of travelers were lost on the mountain. Certain they would perish, they almost gave up hope but an Articuno appeared and guided the group to safety. As a tribute, they created a statue of Articuno that still stands today. Some say that anyone traversing Snow Top Mountain is protected by Articuno. After hearing the story, Todd is convinced there are Articuno on the mountain and continues his vertical journey. With Ash and Co. in tow, a blizzard kicks up and temporarily blinds the group. Brock and Misty want to stay put and let the blizzard pass, but Todd and Ash are determined to continue. Little do they know, directly ahead of them is a cliff edge and a deadly drop. Will Articuno come to their rescue? Is this Legendary Pokémon really the guardian of the mountain, or is it merely a legend?

Trivia
- When this episode aired on Kids' WB!, the first episode would follow it. The reason for this is unknown. It is possible that they may have lost the rights to air the last 20 episodes, much like they lost the rights to air the first 145+ episodes.
- This episode's dub title is both a reference to the photography term, freeze frame, and a pun on Articuno's category (Freeze Pokémon). It could also be a reference to the song of the same name by The J. Geils Band.
- This episode is featured on the Volume 5: Ice copy of Pokémon Elements.
Errors
- After Team Rocket blasts off and the sun comes out there is a shot of Ash wearing all white shoes instead of his black and white ones.
Dub edits
- The original airing of this episode on Hungama TV in India started the episode directly from the title card, skipping the part of the episode that comes before it.
