===Ecruteak Dance Theater===
===Barrier Station to Bell Tower===
The Ecruteak Dance Theater is where the [[Kimono Girl]]s dance and battle. The director will give the player the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}} in [[Generation II]], after defeating the Kimono Girls, and in [[Generation IV]], after defeating a rude {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}. Each of the five Kimono Girls has an evolution of {{p|Eevee}}: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, and {{p|Umbreon}}. In Generation II, the player can freely choose their order of facing Kimono Girls. In Generation IV, the player battles them in a fixed order, having to defeat all five consecutively.

The Barrier Station to Bell Tower is a grand, red-roofed gatehouse located in the north of Ecruteak City, at the end of the city's wide main street. This [[gate]] houses three {{tc|Sage}}s, collectively called the '''Wise Trio''' (Japanese: '''３にんしゅう''' ''group of 3 men''). It serves to prevent the player proceeding to [[Bell Tower]] until they have the {{badge|Fog}}. In {{game|Crystal}}, the three Sages battle the player before allowing passage. Past the station is Ecruteak's Bellchime Trail and Bell Tower.

===Ecruteak Gym===
{{main|Ecruteak Gym}}
The Ecruteak Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Ecruteak City. It is based on {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Morty]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Fog}}.


===Bellchime Trail===
In {{game|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the {{player}} cannot challenge [[Morty]], the Ecruteak Gym Leader when they first arrive in Ecruteak City, as Morty has gone with his friend [[Eusine]] to the [[Burned Tower]], searching for signs of the [[Legendary beasts]]. When the player awakens {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the Burned Tower, Morty returns to the Gym, allowing for him to be challenged.
{{main|Bellchime Trail}}
Bellchime Trail is a short path in the northeast of Ecruteak City connecting it to the [[Bell Tower]]. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is a separate save location within Ecruteak City; in Pokémon Gold and Silver, it was unnamed and part of the same map as Ecruteak City's main area.


===Bell Tower===
The Ecruteak Gym is designed as a sort of maze, where one wrong step off the right path will send a challlenger back to the beginning. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Gym has an invisible path leading to Morty and passing several Trainers. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the path is visible but the Gym is largely shrouded in darkness. Flames light up certain points in the path, including around Trainers, but once the player defeats a Trainer, their light will go out.
{{main|Bell Tower}}
A majestic tower to the east, the Bell Tower is where {{p|Ho-Oh}} was once said to roost. With the [[Silver and Rainbow Wings|Rainbow Wing]], the player is able to prove to Ho-Oh that he or she is a pure-hearted person who will bring Pokémon and people back into harmony with one another.
 
On the first floor, {{p|Suicune}} lingers in {{game|Crystal}}, awaiting the player's arrival with a Clear Bell.
