===Bellchime Trail=== | |||
{{main|Bellchime Trail}} | |||
Bellchime Trail is a short path in the northeast of Ecruteak City connecting it to the [[Bell Tower]]. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is a separate save location within Ecruteak City; in Pokémon Gold and Silver, it was unnamed and part of the same map as Ecruteak City's main area. | |||
===Bell Tower=== | |||
{{main|Bell Tower}} | |||
A majestic tower to the east, the Bell Tower is where {{p|Ho-Oh}} was once said to roost. With the [[Silver and Rainbow Wings|Rainbow Wing]], the player is able to prove to Ho-Oh that he or she is a pure-hearted person who will bring Pokémon and people back into harmony with one another. | |||
On the first floor, {{p|Suicune}} lingers in {{game|Crystal}}, awaiting the player's arrival with a Clear Bell. | |||
===Ecruteak Dance Theater=== | ===Ecruteak Dance Theater=== | ||
The Ecruteak Dance Theater is where the [[Kimono Girl]]s dance and battle. The director will give the player the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}} in [[Generation II]], after defeating the Kimono Girls, and in [[Generation IV]], after defeating a rude {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}. Each of the five Kimono Girls has an evolution of {{p|Eevee}}: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, and {{p|Umbreon}}. In Generation II, the player can freely choose their order of facing Kimono Girls. In Generation IV, the player battles them in a fixed order, having to defeat all five consecutively. | The Ecruteak Dance Theater is where the [[Kimono Girl]]s dance and battle.

The Barrier Station to Bell Tower is located in the north of Ecruteak City. This [[gate]] houses three {{tc|Sage}}s, collectively called the '''Wise Trio''' (Japanese: '''3にんしゅう''' ''group of 3 men''). It serves to prevent the player proceeding to [[Bell Tower]] until they have the {{badge|Fog}}. In {{game|Crystal}}, the three Sages battle the player before allowing passage. Past the station is Ecruteak's Bellchime Trail and Bell Tower. | |||

According to some legends, {{p|Lugia}} once perched on this tower; however, others place Lugia as always living in the [[Whirl Islands]]. Three [[Legendary beasts]] make their home in the basement of the tower, given new life after it burned down by {{p|Ho-Oh}}, who once perched atop the Bell Tower. | According to some legends, {{p|Lugia}} once perched on this tower; however, others place Lugia as always living in the [[Whirl Islands]].
