However, about 150 years before the games' events, a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze, but it had already burnt to the ground. Three nameless Pokémon perished in the fire. But Ho-Oh descended from the sky and resurrected them. The Pokémon are said to embody three powers: the {{p|Raikou|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{p|Entei|fire}} that burned the tower, and the {{p|Suicune|rain}} that put out the fire. When the Pokémon appeared, they struck terror in those who saw their rise. The three Pokémon, knowing their own power, fled, [[roaming Pokémon|running like the wind]] off into the grassland.

Ho-Oh and Lugia haven't been seen since the fire. According to legend, when the souls of Pokémon and humans commune, upon the emergence of a trainer who has the ability to touch the souls of Pokémon, Ho-Oh will return from the heavens.

A similar legend is addressed in the {{pkmn|anime}}. In ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', [[Morty]] says the two towers are the original Tin Tower, which burned down, and a rebuilt one. He says that invaders came and tried to steal Ho-Oh, who resisted and fled, and then they burned down the tower. When the legend is revisited in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', however, the story more closely parallels the game version, but the war aspect remains. [[Ash Ketchum]] seems to fulfill the prophecy as a trainer who has the ability to touch the souls of Pokémon, as he has often encountered both Ho-Oh and Suicune.
