Red's Articuno - Pokemon: Origins (2013)

Known as the Freeze Pokemon, Articuno was one of the Legendary Bird trio of myth, hiding from the world in the bowels of Seafoam Island as a means of to go undetected from humanity.

Upon learning of the existence of the the three legendary birds, the young trainer Red went in search of them in order to complete the entire Pokedex for Professor Oak.

Seeking out Articuno first, Red travelled to Seafoam Island to finish his quest.


"File Four: Charizard"

Discovering Articuno alone on an island in the middle of an underground lake, Red challenged the Freeze Pokemon with the hopes to catch it. The young trainer chose to use his Rapidash to weaken them, before eventually capturing them in an Ultra Ball.

With Articuno now in his possession and their data uploaded on their Pokedex, Red set about to track down Zapdos and Moltres.

During his battle with the Genetic Pokemon Mewtwo, Red used Articuno in an attempt to weaken the strongest Pokemon there was in the Kanto Region, having them summon a blizzard. The attack froze Mewtwo solid, however ended when the former used recover to thaw themself from the ice. They were knocked out of the sky by a Shadow Ball, stunning Red, who was horrified to learn that not even a Legendary Pokemon could defeat the Ultimate Pokemon.
