Hi Ho, Silver, Away!

Yugi and his friends returned to the dock where Lugia was waiting. "I heard about your victory in the Whirl Cup, Yugi," Lugia tells him. "Congratulations."

Kaiba chuckled. "Well, what did you expect? He's a champion; the King of Games."

Lugia chuckled as well. "Yes, he certainly does have the blood of champions flowing in his veins."

"And look," Yugi says, showing his prize, "I got this Mystic Water."

"And you received the blessing of the sea priestess and the water Pokémon," Lugia added. That wasn't the only thing that happened. New friendships were made and the bonds between the heroes lasted through the competition. Joey wasn't sad for himself. He was glad that he got to compete and he was more glad that his best friend won.

"Well, where to next, guys?" Kaiba asked.

Lugia knew how to answer. "There is still one last island for you to explore; Silver Rock Isle."

"Well, then, Silver Rock Isle it is," said Emily.

"All right then," Lugia tells his friends, "everyone climb aboard." And he stretches his neck out towards them. "Careful, now. Watch the eyes and be gentle with the scales." Carefully, they climb down his neck and position themselves on his back.

Once again, Lugia dropped his friends of at the nearby port and decided to wait for them at Ogi Isle on the other side. When they got to the marketplace, Yugi and his friends saw a lot of objects resembling the silver wing. There were charms, pastries, cookies, jewelry, almost everything carrying the shape of the silver wing.

"Lugia said that this was his most favorite island," Emily was wondering. "I'm starting to see why."

Yugi agreed. "He said it reminded him of Atlantis."

Then Emily remembered. "The people of Atlantis kept charms of silver wings to honor their great guardian. And they were made of silver rock too. I guess the tradition has lasted in this world since it's the only home Lugia has now."

Joey thought of something. "Do you still have that silver wing charm Melinda gave you?"

"I do, but I left it at home to keep it safe," she replied. "She said it was special to her. It belonged to her mother and she kept it to remember her and so that she could keep her spirit close. Then Melinda gave it to me to remember everything I learned and to treasure the events that occurred. So that makes it special to me."

"So it's both a memento and a family heirloom," Kaiba assumed.

Then Emily got an idea. She walked up to one of the jewelry stores and bought a necklace with a silver wing hanging from it.

"What are you doing, Briar?" Kaiba asked. "You already have a silver wing."

"It's for Max," she answered. "I know she likes silver, so I thought I'd buy her a present. And these are very special, so I'm sure she'll appreciate it."

"Speaking of Max," Kaiba was saying, "we have to remember to give her the Cobalt Star shard once we get it from Arceus."

"I wonder why he hasn't summoned us yet," said Yugi.

"I'm sure he's ready for us," Emily wondered. "Maybe we're just not ready for him yet. But he'll know. And when he does, he'll ask for Lugia to take us to him."

Yugi agreed. "We're just going to have to be patient."

"In the meantime, we should get to Ogi Isle," said Kaiba. "There's a cave that will allow us to cut through just at the end of town." His friends agreed and decided to get going.

It was pretty damp because it was an underwater tunnel. Some Pokémon from the sea liked to rest inside the tunnel too. Kaiba took notice of a Zubat resting on one of the rocks and decided to capture it. It was resting, so Kaiba thought catching it would be easy. So he tossed his Pokéball at Zubat and caught it successfully. It was his easiest capture yet.

They got out of the tunnel and stopped to feel the gentle breeze and the warmth of the sun. "Come on," Emily was saying, "Lugia's waiting for us on the bay." And they hurried to the bay on the island.

Lugia lifted his head out of the water. He saw his friends and called them over. "Hello, my friends," he called. He approached them and said, "I come bearing great news. I have sensed the arrival of Arceus. He has come to this world."

Yugi's eyes widened. "He's here now?"

"Yes, and I assume he has gone to the temple mountain. I can take you there now."

"Yes," said Kaiba. "This is the moment we've been waiting for."

Lugia turns around and positions himself for flight. "Everyone climb aboard. Yugi, Princess Emily, sit on my back. Kaiba and Joey, hold on to my feet."

Joey was becoming enthusiastic. "This is cool. We're on a mission together again just like in our battle against Dartz and the Leviathan." And they all climbed on Lugia.

"Is everybody ready?" Lugia asked his friends.

"Ready," everybody replied.

"All right then! Here we go!" And Lugia takes off and flies into the sky. Their next destination is the temple in the north.
