The '''Space-Time Towers''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|時空|じくう}}の{{tt|塔|とう}}''' ''Space-Time Towers'') are two {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive buildings located in [[Alamos Town]], [[Sinnoh]]. They first appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence]]'', albeit as a diorama in the [[Eterna Historical Museum]], and then had a major role in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. The Space-Time Towers were designed by [[Godey]] and constructed a century ago. Besides being buildings, they are the largest musical instrument in the [[Pokémon world]]. | |||
The Space-Time Towers were vital for the safety of Alamos Town during the events of the {{pkmn|movie}}. When played, the song [[Oración]], which is able to calm the fiercest rage, soothed {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} and saved the town from destruction. The towers later appeared in flashbacks in both ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. They also briefly appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a timeline different from the main series. | |||
== | ==Construction background== | ||
The origin of the Space-Time Towers was discovered through entries on [[Godey]]'s diaries, which are kept by his great-grandson {{OBP|Tonio|M10}}. Godey once had a nightmare caused by {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} in which a fight between {{mov|Palkia}} and {{mov|Dialga}} broke out in [[Alamos Town]]. The clash of the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] was of such magnitude that it destroyed the entire town. | |||
When the towers were under construction, Godey witnessed [[Alicia]] playing [[Oración]] in the town's garden. Seeing how the song was able to comfort and relieve others, he thought of developing a musical instrument that would play the song in case the events in his nightmare became a reality. Godey's main purpose was to leave Oración for future generations, as he expected the song to bring peace to the furious Pokémon that Darkrai was informing him about. | |||
{{ | ==Design== | ||
Within the '''Space Tower''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|空間|くうかん}}の{{tt|塔|とう}}''' ''Space Tower'') are large, pink-colored spheres rotating on orbits. Within the '''Time Tower''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|時間|じかん}}の{{tt|塔|とう}}''' ''Time Tower'') are large, blue-colored pendulums swinging back and forth. At the center, there is a mural depicting [[Alicia]] sitting on a tree branch and playing [[Oración]] to a group of [[wild Pokémon]]. {{OBP|Tonio|M10}}'s laboratory is located on the basement, where he conducts research on the mysterious events occurring in his [[hometown]]. | |||
Outside in between the two towers is a long and thin winding staircase, leading up to the top of the tower. On the topmost floor lies a large machine that plays music by inserting special disks into a place-holder and pulling a lever. This is a similar function as a piano, but the strings are aligned in a cylinder. | |||
The building also serves as a [[Contest Hall]], attracting a number of [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s who wish to compete for the {{to|Alamos}} [[Ribbon]]. In contrast with many modern Contest Halls, where spectators sit in the stands, the Alamos Hall has several rows of seats at stage level in addition to a sloped seating area. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
* The Space-Time Towers are based on the {{wp|Sagrada Família}}, a Roman Catholic church building designed by {{wp|Antoni Gaudí}} in {{wp|Barcelona}}, {{wp|Spain}}. | |||
* On top of Space Tower are round sculptures, which corresponds to {{p|Palkia}}'s pearls, while on top of Time Tower the sculptures are angular, which corresponds to {{p|Dialga}}'s diamond. | |||
* On the wall that features [[Alicia]] in the center of the Space-Time Towers, there are many Pokémon and their counterparts on the opposite side of Alicia. They are: {{p|Solrock}} and {{p|Lunatone}}, {{p|Dustox}} and {{p|Beautifly}}, {{p|Gallade}} and {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}}, {{p|Zangoose}} and {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Electivire}} and {{p|Magmortar}}, {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Wormadam}} and {{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}}, and the two {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shellos and Gastrodon|variants}} of {{p|Gastrodon}}. | |||
