Arriving in [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} immediately makes his way to the [[Gym]] to challenge its Leader for his next [[Johto League]] [[Badge]]. On their way over, they are stopped by [[Infernando]], a {{tc|Firebreather|fire-breathing}} salesman, who claims to be 'just the guy they're lookin' for'. The group are quick to brush off Infernando's [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]] offer and continue on the trail headed toward the Gym. After receiving instructions from his hungry teammates, [[James]] goes on the look for some food. He soon encounters Infernando, and James is instantly sold by the sales pitch and buys himself an Itemfinder. James returns to the park with his new "Treasure Detector", but [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} are immediately annoyed that not only did James not return with food, but he spent all of his money on the worthless device. James tries to prove himself and switches the Itemfinder on. It begin blinking and indicates that something is buried nearby. A few shovel scoops and James spots a glimmering object in the ground, but it turns out to be a bottle cap. Jessie and Meowth are disappointed, but James is thrilled by the rare find. | Arriving in [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} immediately makes his way to the [[Gym]] to challenge its Leader for his next [[Johto League]] [[Badge]].

Arriving at the gates of the supposed "Gym", Misty speculates that the Gym isn't like any others that they have seen before. As they venture through this "Gym" for a few moments, they are forced to flee from a sudden fire inside the building. The group attempts to flee, but the inferno follows them. They try to douse the flames with their {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but it proves useless. Ash watches in shock as his {{AP|Totodile}} jumps into the flames, and Misty then realizes that it must be an illusion. Ash orders his {{AP|Noctowl}} to use {{m|Foresight}}, which reveals the flames to actually be illusions created by a group of {{p|Gastly}}. The {{t|Ghost}} types proceed to attack the group with {{m|Night Shade}}. The Gastly are soon warded off and the trio gives a sigh of relief only to be on edge again by the Gastly coming back, and with several {{p|Haunter}} accompanying them. Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunder Shock}} on the Ghost {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but the group find themselves overwhelmed. Soon, a {{TP|Morty|Gengar}} appears and all the other Ghost-type Pokémon seem to be weary of its presence. Ash is about to command another Thunder Shock, before an unknown voice | Arriving at the gates of the supposed "Gym", Misty speculates that the Gym isn't like any others that they have seen before.

Turning his attention toward where the voice came from, a young blond man is revealed, standing atop of the staircase. At the initial sight of the man, all the Ghost Pokémon instantly hover over before him. He informs Ash and his friends that the Pokémon were not trying to harm them, but merely trying to protect their home after feeling threatened. Ash is quick to demand answers and mystery man is revealed to be [[Morty]], [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Ecruteak Gym|Ecruteak City Gym]]. All Ash, Misty and Brock seem to be surprised at the mention, though Ash quickly regains his bearings and claims to Morty that he wants to compete for the Gym Badge that he holds. | Turning his attention toward where the voice came from, a young blond man is revealed, standing atop of the staircase.

Merely smiling to Ash, Morty explains that he would love to battle Ash in an official Gym battle, but not where they are now. Morty explains that they are actually at the [[Burned Tower]], a place that was once filled with brightness but has since come to be the home of many Ghost types. Ash then spots a wooden carving of an oddly familiar Pokémon, and Morty reveals that it is the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Ash confesses that he [[EP001|had seen one before]], but Morty is highly | Merely smiling to Ash, Morty explains that he would love to battle Ash in an official Gym battle, but not where they are now.

Ash confesses that he [[EP001|had seen one before]], but Morty is highly skeptical. Morty then explains some of Ecruteak City’s history, and adds that the nearby [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] was built after the now named Burned Tower was destroyed in a ferocious blaze three hundred years prior. | ||
Pikachu suddenly notices that {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is wandering off further into the Burned Tower, and heading for a hole that only small Pokémon would be able to fit through. Pikachu attempts to stop Togepi, but it too late and the two Pokémon disappear into the small hole. Morty leads the others through the maze-like tower to rescue the pair. He busts open a jarred door, only to realize that the tower's structure is weak and beyond damaged to continue searching safely. He calls upon his Gengar to rally up the other Ghost Pokémon residing in the building and find both Pikachu and Togepi. He reassures Misty and the others that Ghost Pokémon are up to the task. Just as soon as Pikachu catches up with Togepi, it instantly bounds off, heading deeper into the tower. | Pikachu suddenly notices that {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is wandering off further into the Burned Tower, and heading for a hole that only small Pokémon would be able to fit through.

Chasing after them, Morty calls upon Gengar once more, who then rushes ahead to reach team Rocket. At this, Jessie and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} to stall the Ghost-type Pokémon from catching up with them. Gengar soon hovers close to the ground and then disappears to ward them off its location, causing both Arbok and Weezing to be confused for a brief moment. It soon appears behind them and rushes in to knock them into the neighboring thicket. Both Arbok and Weezing are momentarily knocked out as a result. Gengar blocks Team Rocket, and the evil trio soon find themselves surrounded by Morty and the others. Morty demands to know the trio's motivations for stealing Pokémon, but is unimpressed by their responses. He orders Gengar use Night Shade, which frees both Togepi and Pikachu. As the two Pokémon are flying through the air after being released, Haunter and Gastly catch them both and carry them to Ash and Misty. After the small reunion, both Jessie and James persist on getting back at the Gengar and brings both Arbok and Weezing into battle. Both Pokémon dive for Gengar, and the Ghost-type merely braces itself for impact before Morty tells it to dodge the attacks. Following orders, Gengar disappears and both Arbok and Weezing crash into the ground. Appearing above the battle scene, Gengar is unharmed and grins at them. Arbok manages to {{m|Wrap}} itself around Gengar momentarily, before it disappears into thin air. Morty, deciding to make the battle quick now, issues the next command: for Gengar to use one of its most powerful attacks, {{m|Shadow Ball}}. At that, however, both Jessie and James stupidly command both Arbok and Weezing to take it head on. Because of this, the Shadow Ball hits the Pokémon directly, and the resulting explosion on the ground sends Team Rocket blasting off. | Chasing after them, Morty calls upon Gengar once more, who then rushes ahead to reach team Rocket.

The group inspects the crater left because of Gengar's Shadow Ball attack, and Ash remarks in awe of Gengar's powerful [[move]]. Brock warns Ash that he’ll probably be up against Gengar and its Shadow Ball during his Gym match. Ash then glances over at Gengar as it floats down to the ground. Later, Morty suggests that he and Ash should rest up for the night and battle the next day, and Ash agrees to the idea.

Later, Morty suggests that he and Ash should rest up for the night and battle the next day, and Ash agrees to the idea. Morty and Gengar then reenter the Burned Tower. Ash is quietly confident as he weighs up how powerful Morty and his Ghost types are going to be. | ||
