Burned Tower: Difference between revisions

According to some legends, {{p|Lugia}} once perched here. However, when the tower burned down, Lugia fled to the [[Whirl Islands]] to live, while {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which lived in the Bell Tower, flew away in search of a pure-hearted Trainer. Three unnamed Pokémon perished in the fire; Ho-Oh returned briefly to revive them after the fire had been put out. These Pokémon, the [[legendary beasts]] {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, were destined to speed across the land since their revival.

In Crystal, it is said that, before it burned down, the tower was known as the Brass Tower, with gleaming golden panels of brass to compliment the Tin Tower's silvery panels of tin. However, this detail was not mentioned in the remakes, and the Tin Tower's name was changed to "Bell Tower", removing any connection the two had to the names of the games.

The tower was built 700 years before the time of Generations II and IV alongside its twin, the [[Bell Tower]]. The two towers were meant to foster friendship between people and Pokémon. Many people, mostly ancestors of [[Ecruteak Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] [[Morty]], traveled to the tops of these towers to commune with the [[legendary Pokémon]] residing there.

Suddenly, 150 years before the events of the games, this tower burned down in a mysterious fire, ignited by a bolt of lightning and put out by a sudden downpour. This fire, which may have had some relation to the drought that a {{p|Slowpoke}} ended in [[Azalea Town]], caused three nameless Pokémon to perish. Ho-Oh, fleeing from its perch, granted new life to the Pokémon, making them into the [[legendary beasts]] before flying in search of a pure-hearted Trainer. The three events of the fire, the {{t|Electric|lightning bolt}}, {{t|Fire|raging blaze}}, and {{t|Water|sudden downpour}}, are said to have some relation to the three beasts.

A burned-down tower exists in the {{pkmn|anime}}'s interpretation of Ecruteak City as well, however, it was the ''only'' tower initially, and was the Bell Tower itself. When it burned down due to a war for Ho-Oh's power, a second, new Bell Tower was built to the east, in the hope that Ho-Oh would return, though it never did.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} traveled to this burned-out tower by accident, thinking it was the Ecruteak Gym. While here, they were frightened by the many {{p|Gastly}} who took up residence here, as they had made an illusion of fire. With [[Morty]]'s help, they were able to escape.

In ''[[PS152|Buzz Off, Butterfree!]]'' the events seen at the end of the previously mentioned round are shown in more detail. When {{adv|Yellow}} and [[Wilton]] pass through Ecruteak City, they meet [[Jasmine]] with whom they talk about things related to the earthquake that struck the city [[PS108|not too long ago]]. While they discuss, the Burned Tower catches fire. Yellow puts the fire out but is pulled into the tower. She is about to hit a rock inside the tower but, to her great surprise, goes through it. She finds herself in an unknown place and meets {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}}. The three Pokémon thank her for freeing them, after which they take off. After Yellow gets out from the rock she tells Jasmine and Wilton what she saw. Jasmine then tells her and Wilton the story behind the ruined tower and the [[Legendary beasts]].

In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], the legend passed down in Ecruteak City is that Brass Tower was burned down intentionally by people long ago, as they felt they had lost their connection to the legendary Pokémon it was built to honor. As a result, the golden Pokémon returned to the skies and broke all ties with humankind.

* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the exterior of the Burned Tower depicts it as being a short, common tower. However, in {{v|Crystal}} the top of the tower is destroyed, showing the inside, thus making it more akin to the storyline. The Crystal design was then updated and reused in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
