1500 years before modern times, the earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]] of Johto. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection. Although no one knows exactly who built the Ruins of Alph, research indicates that the ruins provide a link to an ancient civilization | 1500 years before modern times, the earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]] of Johto. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection. Although no one knows exactly who built the Ruins of Alph, research indicates that the ruins provide a link to an ancient civilization that wished to co-exist with the enigmatic Unown. Not only did that tribe impart messages on the ruins' walls, but they also erected a Pokémon statue for an unknown reason. | ||
Approximately 700 years before modern times, the people of Ecruteak built two nine-tier towers with the hopes of fostering friendship and hope between Pokémon and [[humans]]. They were the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] in the west, which was said to awaken Pokémon, and the [[Bell Tower]] in the east, where Pokémon were said to rest. Both towers became the roost of powerful flying Pokémon {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} respectively. | At some point later, outsiders began to gather near the ruins. As the Unown were timid creatures, they rejected contact with anyone but the clan that protected them. To ensure the Unown's well being, the Ruins of Alph's inhabitants decided to leave the region, but not without devising complicated puzzles so that one day the Unown could be summoned again. As for the clan, their quest led them to a mountain far to the north, where they met another group of people who had hailed from the [[Spear Pillar]]. Together, the two groups built a temple in honor of {{p|Arceus}}, which incorporated elements from both the Ruins of Alph and the Spear Pillar; this collaboration probably has to do with the underlying relationship between Arceus and the Unown. The temple, too, has since been left in ruins and its lowest floor is now known as the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]; however, the ritual of honoring [[legendary Pokémon]] through dance circulated back to Johto, specifically to [[Ecruteak City]]. | ||

The towers stood strong for about 550 years, when 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. | The towers stood strong for about 550 years, when a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower.

Around these times other, smaller events occurred. 500 years before modern days, The Cianwood City Pharmacy, the worlds oldest pharmacy is built. And around 400 years ago, [[Azalea Town]] in Johto is struck by a long-term drought wave. After bringing the rain back once again by {{m|yawn}}ing, {{p|Slowpoke}} gains an honorable position in that town. | Around these times other, smaller events occurred. 500 years before modern days, The Cianwood City Pharmacy, the worlds oldest pharmacy is built.

In contemporary history, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]]. A {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} steals one of Elm's three Pokémon, and challenges him/her as Ethan/Kris/Lyra's journey across Johto continues. A revived [[Team Rocket]] from the Kanto, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] as they proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. As they are defeated, the leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto, later to defeat the current champion and get into the [[Hall of Fame]] | In contemporary history, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]].

Not only that, but Ethan/Kris/Lyra is able to have a close encounter with all three of the legendary beasts, as well as summon the Unown, Lugia and Ho-Oh after their long absence. | |||
