Ash Ketchum
In Lugia's initial appearance for "Pokémon: The Movie 2000", Lawrence III, an arrogant and rich man who calls himself "The Collector", captures the three legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, with the intent of summoning Lugia, the "beast of the sea", voiced by Eric Rath. Ash Ketchum joins forces with a begrudging Team Rocket to prevent the world's destruction by gathering three orbs in the Orange Islands and placating Lugia.
