Articuno
Articuno (Japanese: フリーザー Freezer) appeared in the second feature length Pokémon movie, The Power of One.
History
Articuno, as depicted in an ancient legend, is the titan of ice. Lawrence III was trying to capture the three legendary birds to bring out Lugia. Articuno was the only bird he didn't capture, but after Moltres and Zapdos burst out of captivity the three legendary birds started a huge fight.
When Lugia came up from the sea, Articuno worked with the other birds to put Lugia back where it came from. Later, Lugia rose again and none of the birds seemed to notice at first.
After that, Articuno kept fighting with the other birds but it returned to its island after Ash and Lugia silenced their fighting.

Zapdos
Zapdos (Japanese: サンダー Thunder) appeared in the second feature length Pokémon movie, The Power of One.
History
Zapdos, as depicted in an ancient legend, is the titan of lightning. Lawrence III was trying to capture the three legendary birds in order to lure out Lugia. After Moltres was captured, Zapdos claimed its island as its own territory (which implies that the weather disruptions, while started by Lawrence III, were mainly caused by the territorial disputes between the legendary birds). Lawrence captured Zapdos along with Ash, Misty, Tracey, Melody, Jessie, James, and Meowth. Zapdos was freed by Moltres and the two birds burst out of the palace.
In their rage, the three legendary birds began to battle. When Lugia rose up from the sea, Zapdos worked with the other birds to return Lugia back into the sea. Later, Lugia rose again out of the water without any of the birds noticing.
Lugia, with the help of Ash, silenced the battle between the birds and Zapdos returned to its island.

Moltres
Moltres (Japanese: ファイヤー Fire) appeared in the second feature length Pokémon movie, The Power of One.
History
Moltres, as depicted in an ancient legend, is the titan of fire. Lawrence III revealed that that he was trying to capture the three legendary birds to bring out Lugia. Lawrence set out to get Moltres first. He bombed its island with ice bombs until Moltres got furious and flew away from its island to attack Lawrence. However, he captured Moltres and brought it aboard his flying ship.
Zapdos later claimed Moltres' territory as its own since Moltres was gone. This new territory ownership was short-lived, as Lawrence captured Zapdos along with Ash, Misty, Tracey, Melody, Jessie, James, and Meowth. Ash tried to free Moltres and succeeded eventually. Moltres then freed Zapdos and the two birds burst out of the palace.
Moltres, along with Zapdos, started a fight between themselves as well as Articuno, the other legendary bird. When Lugia came up from the sea, Moltres worked with the other birds to put Lugia back where it came from. Later, Lugia rose again and none of the birds seemed to notice at first.
After that, Moltres kept fighting with the other birds but it returned to its island after Ash and Lugia silenced their fighting.
