The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') in [[Generation III]] is located in the [[Hoenn]] region, and is a post-[[Pokémon League]] battle arena located in Hoenn's southeastern sea, inaccessible except by [[S.S. Tidal|boat]], as it connects to no routes. Its purpose is to provide a challenge to all comers, with the best and brightest {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from all over flocking to it to see who is the strongest. | The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') in [[Generation III]] is located in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and is a post-[[Pokémon League]] battle arena located in Hoenn's southeastern sea, inaccessible except by [[S.S.

In the anime, it is located near [[Cremini Town]] and was the sixth Battle Frontier facility challenged by {{Ash}}. {{ashfr|The group}} discovered its location in ''[[AG165|King and Queen for a Day!]]'', following Ash's victory against {{FB|Palace Maven|Spenser}} at the [[Battle Palace]]. The facility is run by [[Salon Maiden Anabel]] and the battles are [[Battle judge|refereed]] by [[Maron]]. | ||
Ash's first battle against Anabel ended in his clear defeat, without Anabel even having to send out her third Pokémon. He challenged her to a [[rematch]] in ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]''. Using the same team as before—consisting of {{AP|Corphish}}, {{AP|Tauros}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}—he was able to win this time around, earning himself the [[Symbol|Ability Symbol]] and the knowledge of the [[Battle Pyramid]]'s current location. | |||

During the climax of the {{chap|Emerald}}, [[Guile Hideout]] took over the Battle Tower and brainwashed Anabel as his servant, forcing {{adv|Emerald}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} to fight their way through the Battle Tower challenge to reach the 70th floor at the top of the tower. Emerald, reaching the top floor first, engaged in a battle against the mind-controlled Anabel, but was hopelessly outmatched against her {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Raikou}}. Eventually, the strain of the mind control caused Anabel to fall unconcious. In exchange for Anabel's safety, Noland was forced to hand over information he managed to find out about {{ | During the climax of the {{chap|Emerald}}, [[Guile Hideout]] took over the Battle Tower and brainwashed Anabel as his servant, forcing {{adv|Emerald}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} to fight their way through the Battle Tower challenge to reach the 70th floor at the top of the tower.

Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were soon joined by {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}}, who revealed that the "statues" of [[Pokédex holder]]s on display at the Battle Tower were actually real people who [[PS302|had gotten turned to stone]] and could only be saved by making a wish to Jirachi. Although Emerald's intial attempt at wishing for Jirachi to do this ended in a failure, after he had opened up to Ruby and Sapphire about his past, Jirachi accepted his wish and restored the petrified Pokédex holders back to normal. Together, the ten Pokédex holders united to fight the army of [[rental Pokémon]] under Guile's control while trying to figure out a way to defeat the monster Kyogre. Eventually, {{adv|Red}} and Gold succeeded in destroying Guile's armor, Emerald managed calm down the rampaging rental Pokémon, and the Pokédex holders together used their Pokémon's ultimate attacks to destroy the monster Kyogre, ending Guile's plans and saving the Battle Frontier. | Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were soon joined by {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}}, who revealed that the "statues" of [[Pokédex holder]]s on display at the Battle Tower were actually real people who [[PS302|had gotten turned to stone]] and could only be saved by making a wish to Jirachi.
