The Legendary Pokémon Appears! (Japanese: 伝説のポケモン現る!! Legendary Pokémon Appears!!) is the third chapter of the Golden Boys manga.
Synopsis
The chapter begins with Nurse Joy and Professor Oak at the Violet City Pokémon Center wondering about a large black thundercloud in the shape of a spiraling whirlpool that suddenly appeared over the city. The check their watches, and the times they have are different. Professor Oak states that the Bill is created a time capsule, and then he deduces that the time capsule must be creating a time warp. They run to check out the Violet Gym, only to find Gold facing Falkner and Articuno, who only returns to the Gym every four years. Professor Oak expresses his concerns for Gold, and his battle against Articuno. Gold offers to battle Articuno himself so that his Pokémon don't get hurt, but gets chastised by Falkner. He then realizes that having an Electric Pokémon would be helpful in defeating Articuno.
Suddenly, the time warp bursts through the roof, opens, and a Pikachu appears before everyone. The clouds clear from the sky. Pikachu instantly warms to Gold, but upon seeing Articuno, jumps right into battle. Falkner states that it must be an extremely high level, because it won't listen to its trainer. Gold sends Totodile and Pidgey out to help Pikachu. Falkner transforms the Gym when he realizes that it is much too small for Articuno. Pikachu and Articuno exchange attacks: Pikachu uses Thunder while Articuno uses Ice Beam. Because Thunder is such a large scale attack, it misses. Gold yells to Pikachu that if Articuno is going to be weakened, it has to be hit with something like Thunderbolt. Pikachu refuses to listen, and its leg freezes because of Blizzard. Articuno readies another Ice Beam, but Gold commands Totodile to use Water Gun, thus creating an ice shelter protecting Pikachu. Pidgey uses Peck to remove the ice from Pikachu's leg.
Pikachu, although being a high level, agrees with Gold that it can't defeat Articuno alone. Pidgey distracts Articuno while Totodile utilizes the cold air around to created a pillar of ice leading to Articuno with its Water Gun. Pikachu strikes Articuno with electricity and tires out. Articuno then lets Pikachu fall to the ground and admits defeat by flying away. Falkner accepts defeat and awards Gold with the Zephyr Badge.
