The Bell Tower was once the perch of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Ho-Oh}}; however, long before the events of the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Ho-Oh flew away, never to return. Many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s came to the tower, hoping for Ho-Oh's return, but no one had yet been successful. Finally, with the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}} and [[Clear Bell]], the {{player}} is able to summon Ho-Oh to the Bell Tower in order to {{pkmn|battle}} it atop the roof. | The Bell Tower was once the perch of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Ho-Oh}}; however, long before the events of the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Ho-Oh flew away, never to return.

Seven hundred years before the events of the games, two nine-tier towers were built opposite each other in Ecruteak City. The towers were built to foster friendship and hope between {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and people. The view from atop the towers was said to be magnificent. | Seven hundred years before the events of the games, two nine-tier towers were built opposite each other in Ecruteak City.

The eastern tower was said to awaken Pokémon, while the western tower was where Pokémon were said to rest, similar to [[Hoenn]]'s [[Cave of Origin]] and [[Mt.

However, about | However, about 150 years before the games' events, a lightning bolt struck the western tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze, but it had already burned 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 it, and the {{p|Suicune|rain}} that extinguished 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. | ||

Bellchime Trail is a short path between [[Ecruteak City]] and the Bell Tower. It does not exist in [[Generation II]] as a separate location, instead being considered part of Ecruteak City. | |||

The importance of bells is made clear as the tower holds four bells on each floor, which will only ring if {{p|Ho-Oh}} or {{p|Suicune}} is coming. In addition, the bells on the top floor are made of crystal and will only ring for Ho-Oh's appearance. | ||
Neither of the towers have any relation to {{p|Lugia}} in this continuity. This tower was also built after the other tower had already burned. It is said that Ho-Oh would occasionally appear at the old tower as a sign of peace to a chosen few who were [[Morty]]'s ancestors. However, several greedy people tried to take its power, burning down the original in the ensuing battle and forcing Ho-Oh to flee the tower. The people of Ecruteak City decided to make another tower in hope of Ho-Oh returning, though it never did. | Neither of the towers have any relation to {{p|Lugia}} in this continuity.

* In | * In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a guest at [[Hotel Grand Lake]] by [[Lake Valor]] mentions a {{p|Ho-Oh|rainbow-colored Pokémon}} at the Tin Tower, using its [[Generation II]] name instead of its [[Generation IV]] name. | ||

* It is actually possible to use {{m|Dig}} to escape from the Bell Tower, except from the roof, and return to the entrance; this is because, as can be seen from the in-{{pkmn|battle}} background used in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Bell Tower is classified as a cave area, rather than a building, likely to allow {{pkmn2|wild}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be found. This also applies to [[Sprout Tower]] and [[Burned Tower]]. | * It is actually possible to use {{m|Dig}} to escape from the Bell Tower, except from the roof, and return to the entrance; this is because, as can be seen from the in-{{pkmn|battle}} background used in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Bell Tower is classified as a cave area, rather than a building, likely to allow {{pkmn2|wild}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be found.
