From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Brass Tower (Japanese: かねのとう Gold Tower), more often known in modern times as the Burned Tower (Japanese: やけたとう Burned Tower), is a location in Johto.
The Brass Tower, with gleaming silver-colored panels, was, according to legend, the perch of Lugia. Once as majestic as the Tin Tower, the Brass Tower was burned to the ground by a mysterious fire. This chased the two legendary Pokémon away, but not before Ho-Oh gave new life to three Pokémon killed when the tower was destroyed: Entei, Raikou, and Suicune. Lugia left its home of the Brass Tower to live forevermore in the depths of the Whirl Islands, while Ho-Oh began to fly around the world, searching and waiting for a day when it would find a trainer with a pure heart.
In Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, the player encounters Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, who then flee, for the first time in the burned-out remains of the Brass Tower. This is also where the player's rival will challenge him or her once again, with the second form of the starter he stole.

Origin
A Buddhist temple in the real world city of Kyoto, covered in gold leaf, is known as Kinkaku-ji. Like Brass Tower, it was burned down, however, unlike it, it was reconstructed. The likeness of a Template:P2 rests atop the tower.
