Brass Tower and Tin Tower
700 years ago, two 9-tier towers were built opposite each other in Ecruteak City. The towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people. The views from the top of the towers was said to be 'magnificent'.
In the west was Brass Tower, which was said to awaken Pokémon and in the East was Tin Tower, where Pokémon were said to rest. At the time, an immense silver-coloured Pokémon, Lugia, was said to make its roost atop the Brass Tower, and the rainbow-coloured Pokémon Ho-Oh was said to rest at Tin Tower.
However, around 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck one of the towers. It was engulfed in flames that raged for 3 days. The two winged-Pokémon flew escaped to the skies unharmed. A sudden downpour put an end to the blaze.
Brass Tower was also home to the three Legendary Beasts; Entei, Suicune and Raikou. When it burnt down, the three beasts perished in the flames. However, when the fires were put out, Ho-Oh returned and resurrected the three Legendary Beasts and left them to guard the ruins of the newly named Burned Tower.
In the Pokémon Anime, Burned Tower is full of Ghost Pokémon belonging to the gym leader, Morty because he is in charge of taking care of that tower and has made it part of the pokémon gym.
In Pokémon Crystal, Suicune will arrive at Tin Tower for you to catch after you received Clear Bell from the director of Goldenrod Radio Tower.
