Appendix:Crystal walkthrough/Section 8: Difference between revisions

== Ecruteak City ==

Welcome to {{ci|Ecruteak}}, a historical city where the past meets the present. The city is shrouded in mystery, as all but {{p|Celebi|one}} of Johto's legendary Pokémon have ties to the area. Unique landmarks include the [[Ecruteak Gym]], Kimono Dance Theater, and the twin towers; the [[Burned Tower]] in the west, and the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] in the east.

=== Bill's Time Capsule ===

Stop by the Pokémon Center to meet [[Bill]], the inventor of the PC Storage System. It seems that he has just finished working on the [[Time Capsule]], a service found in every Pokémon Center that allows a Trainer to "trade with the past". This means that you can now trade between {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} and {{game3|Red and Blue|the Generation|s}} {{game3|Yellow|I games}}. The Time Capsule will take until the next day to be fully operational.

=== Treasure Hunting ===

Stop by the house to the right of the Gym, and talk to the man inside. He gives you the {{key|II|Itemfinder}}, a handy tool that reacts to hidden items lying nearby. It's a treasure hunter's best friend!

=== Ecruteak Dance Theater ===

The dance hall is owned by the [[Kimono Girl]]s, five sisters that each train one of {{p|Eevee}}'s [[Eeveelutions|evolutions]]. Speak to the man with his {{p|Rhydon}} after defeating them to receive {{HM|03|Surf}}.

=== Burned Tower ===

The charred, crumbling ruins of the [[Burned Tower]] can be found in the city's northwest district. Formerly known as the Brass Tower, it was once as majestic as the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] to the east. Built 700 years ago, it was said to be the roost of {{p|Lugia|an immense, silver-colored Pokémon}}. But 150 years ago, the tower was struck by a lightning bolt that ignited a fire that raged for three days. The silver Pokémon and the {{p|Ho-Oh|glorious, rainbow-colored Pokémon}} that roosted on Tin Tower escaped to the skies unharmed, and a sudden downpour quenched the fire. The silver Pokémon flew off, while the rainbow Pokémon resurrected [[Legendary beasts|three nameless Pokémon]] that perished in the blaze before flying off as well.

Upon entering the tower, you are immediately approached by [[Eusine]], a researcher of the [[legendary beasts]] who is especially interested in {{p|Suicune}}. The local Gym Leader, [[Morty]], is also here investigating the trio. {{ga|Silver}} can be found in the center area, where he complains about not seeing Suicune before challenging you to a battle.

The battle causes the weakened floor to crumble, and you fall to the floor below, landing in front of the three [[legendary beasts]]. They do not react at first, but awaken when you approach them. {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}} run off immediately, but {{p|Suicune}} pauses for a moment before following the others. [[Eusine]] meets you on your way out, and thanks you for waking Suicune.

=== Tin Tower ===

The [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] is a sacred place, and is off-limits to all but a few people. A group of monks known as the Wise Trio prevent anyone from reaching the tower for now. Two {{key|II|Clear Bell|special}} {{key|II|Rainbow Wing|items}} are required to enter and scale the tower.

Upon meeting [[Eusine]] in [[Celadon City]], he informs you of fresh rumors of {{p|Ho-Oh|a rainbow-colored Pokémon}} appearing at the tower. Return here to find the monks in a state of awe; they saw the tower shake, which means that a large Pokémon must have landed at the top. Enter the tower to receive the {{key|II|Rainbow Wing}} from one of the Wise Trio. Suddenly a ladder appears, finally granting access to the tower. Stock up on {{ball|Ultra}}s, and bring a party capable of inflicting status ailments in order to wear Ho-Oh down faster.

==== 3F ====

Go west to reach a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}. Move around in an S-shape to reach the northeast stairs.

==== 4F ====

Go south to find an {{ball|Ultra}}, and south again to get a {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}}. Grab the [[Escape Rope]] in the southwest, then climb the northwest stairs.

==== 5F ====

Work your way to the pillar for a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}. The ramps here keep you from advancing, so take the southeast stairs and backtrack through 4F. Stay to the west of the pillar to reach the stairs in the south.

==== 6F ====

6F has a simple layout that serves as a transition between the ramps on the lower floors and what lies above. The next three floors use a series of warp tiles for quick navigation.

==== 7F ====

Step on the nearest warp tile to reach the pillar, and take the next to reach the east wall of 9F. There are two warp tiles to the south; the right one takes to the center of 8F and a {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir}}, while the left one takes you to the south side of 8F and a {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}}. Backtrack to the first warp on 7F, grab the {{DL|Revive|Max Revive}} to the northeast, and go south to take the next warp to the west side of 8F.

==== 8F ====

The next warp takes you to the north side of 9F, and the one after that brings you back to the east side of this floor. Pick up the {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}} to the northwest and take one last warp to the center of 9F.

==== 9F ====

Climb the stairs to reach the rooftop. Save your progress; there's only one Ho-Oh, so don't risk losing it.

==== Rooftop ====

===== Ho-Oh =====

Start off by using status-inflicting moves, like {{m|Spore}} or {{m|Thunder Wave}}, to wear it down. Follow up with {{t|Water}}- or {{type|Electric}} attacks to inflict double the damage. Use caution with {{type|Rock}} attacks, as Ho-Oh takes four times the normal damage from such moves. Then slowly chip away at its remaining health with {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type|Steel}} attacks, as moves of these types only inflict half- or quarter-damage.

=== Ecruteak Gym ===

The [[Ecruteak Gym]] is dedicated to {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. These spirits take double the damage from Ghost- and {{type|Dark}} attacks, and are normally unaffected by {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Fighting}} attacks. However, a Pokémon with {{m|Foresight}} can disable these immunities. To reach the Gym Leader, follow the invisible path by moving from one Trainer's line of sight to the next. Bring along some extra [[Potion]]s, since two of [[Morty]]'s Pokémon know {{m|Curse}}, which drains the target's health every turn. It's also good to bring a few {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Awakening}}s in order to disrupt his {{p|Gengar}}'s {{m|Hypnosis}}-{{m|Dream Eater}} combo.

Morty awards you the {{badge|Fog}}, which ensures obedience from all Pokémon up to level 50, and enables the use of {{m|Surf}} in the field. He also gives out {{TM|30|Shadow Ball}} as a prize.

== Route 38 ==

{{rt|38|Johto}} connects [[Ecruteak City]] to {{rt|39|Johto}} in the west, near the MooMoo Farm. On your way west, you can trade phone numbers with Schoolboy Chad for alerts about {{p|Snubbull}} {{DL|Pokémon outbreak|Generation II|swarms}}. Register Lass Dana's number and she'll call for a rematch; defeat her again to receive a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

== Route 39 ==

{{rt|39|Johto}} is a quiet, pastoral road that links {{rt|38|Johto}} to [[Olivine City]] in the south. The [[MooMoo Farm]] is located in the northwest part of the route.

=== MooMoo Farm ===

The [[MooMoo Farm]] depends on its herd of {{p|Miltank}} to produce milk, but one of these cows has gotten sick. In order for it to recover, it must be fed a total of seven Berries. Once its condition improves, speak to the farmer to receive {{TM|13|Snore}} as a reward. He also begins selling {{DL|Drink|Moomoo Milk}} for {{pdollar}}500 per serving.
