It has shown up at a few significant moments in Ash's life. It was the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to appear in any Pokémon media, making it the first sign that the franchise would ever expand beyond 151. | ||
Legends say that Ho-Oh lived in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] in ancient times. However, war broke out, and when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] was burned, Ho-Oh created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} and then left. A new [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] was created, but Ho-Oh never returned. | Legends say that Ho-Oh lived in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] in ancient times.

{{Ash}} first saw Ho-Oh in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. It appeared on his way to [[Viridian City]] during his first day as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He was lying on the ground with his injured {{AP|Pikachu}} and saw it fly over the rainbow that appeared in the sky after a storm. His [[Pokédex]] could not identify it and explained that many Pokémon were still unknown. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', he tried to explain to {{an|Professor Oak}} what he had seen, though the image he used to point it out appeared to be of an {{p|Articuno}} rather than {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Either way, {{an|Professor Oak}} didn't believe him and brushed it off as Ash being mistaken. This gold colored version of Ho-Oh was an early concept of Ho-Oh as a Pokémon, like all other [[Generation II]] Pokémon at that time had not been fully developed yet. | {{Ash}} first saw Ho-Oh in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

The topic was brought up again in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''. While Ash was in [[Johto]], he explained his encounter to [[Eusine]], who also did not believe that Ash had seen this legendary Pokémon. In ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'' they heard the bells in the Tin Tower ringing, which would signal Ho-Oh's approach. At this point, Eusine was so upset by Ash's claim that he challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}}. | The topic was brought up again in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''.

As fate would have it, Ash saw Ho-Oh a second time in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' after he parted ways with his close friends {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. The third time he saw it was in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' after {{an|May}} pointed to it flying in the sky after Ash lost an informal challenge against [[Pyramid King Brandon]] and was released from possession by [[King of Pokélantis | As fate would have it, Ash saw Ho-Oh a second time in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' after he parted ways with his close friends {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}.

Ho-Oh's appearance is that it is a very large Pokémon, and there is one shot in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'' in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] that shows three humans on their knees while Ho-Oh is perched up on a stand. Ho-Oh appears to be significantly larger than the humans. | Ho-Oh's appearance is that it is a very large Pokémon, and there is one shot in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'' in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] that shows three humans on their knees while Ho-Oh is perched up on a stand.
