Ecruteak City in Gold and Silver

Ecruteak City (Japanese: エンジュシティ Enju City) is an old-fashioned city located in northern Johto, situated in the woods between tall Mt. Mortar and the open fields near Johto's western shores.

As with many of the larger cities in the Pokémon world, Ecruteak has a Pokémon Gym, led by Morty, who specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon and hands out the Fog Badge to those who defeat him.

Ecruteak is known as a historical and mythical city; fittingly, its buildings all feature traditional Japanese architecture. The tallest building in the city, and perhaps all of Johto, is the ten-story Bell Tower in the city's northeast corner, built nearly a millennium before the events of the games. The city is known as being a centerpoint of the Legendary Pokémon native to the Johto region, with the great Ho-Oh once being said to have roosted atop the Bell Tower, and having created three Legendary beasts of the Pokémon who perished when the Brass Tower burned down.

Slogan

Generation II

A Historical City Where the Past Meets the Present (Japanese: むかしと いまが どうじに ながれる れきしの まち The city where present and past concurrently flow in history.)

Generation IV

A Historical City (Japanese: れきしが ながれる まち The city where history flows.)

Places of interest

Ecruteak Dance Theater

The Ecruteak Dance Theater is where the Kimono Girls dance and battle. The director will give the player the HM for Surf in Generation II, after defeating the Kimono Girls, and in Generation IV, after defeating a rude Team Rocket Grunt. Each of the five Kimono Girls has an evolution of Eevee: Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Espeon, and 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.

Ecruteak Gym

Main article: Ecruteak Gym

The Ecruteak Gym is the official Gym of Ecruteak City. It is based on Ghost-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Morty. Trainers who defeat him receive the Fog Badge.

In Pokémon Crystal and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player cannot challenge Morty, the Ecruteak Gym Leader when they first arrive in Ecruteak City, as Morty has gone with his friend Eusine to the Burned Tower, searching for signs of the Legendary beasts. When the player awakens Raikou, Entei, and Suicune in the Burned Tower, Morty returns to the Gym, allowing for him to be challenged.

The Ecruteak Gym is designed as a sort of maze, where one wrong step off the right path will send a challenger back to the beginning. In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Gym has an invisible path leading to Morty and passing several Trainers. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the path is visible but the Gym is largely shrouded in darkness. Flames light up certain points in the path, including around Trainers, but once the player defeats a Trainer, their light will go out.

Burned Tower

Main article: Burned Tower

Burned Tower
It was destroyed by a mysterious fire.
Please stay away, as it is unsafe.

The sad remains of this once-great tower, in the northwestern corner of the city, are all that is left after a fire engulfed it 150 years before the events of the games. It was once as majestic as the Bell Tower to the east, with the two towers representative of where Pokémon awakened and where they slept.

According to some legends, 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 Ho-Oh, who once perched atop the Bell Tower. The player's rival, exploring the area, will challenge the player a third time when they arrive here.

Ecruteak City's Bellchime Trail in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, featuring part of the Barrier Station and Bell Tower as well

Barrier Station to Bell Tower

Barrier Station to Bell Tower
No Trespassing by the Unworthy

The Barrier Station to Bell Tower is a grand, red-roofed gatehouse located in the north of Ecruteak City, at the end of the city's wide main street. This gate houses three Sages, 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 Fog Badge. In Pokémon Crystal, the three Sages battle the player before allowing passage. Past the station is Ecruteak's Bellchime Trail and Bell Tower.

Bellchime Trail

Main article: 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 article: Bell Tower

A majestic tower to the east, the Bell Tower is where Ho-Oh was once said to roost. With the Rainbow Wing, the player is able to prove to Ho-Oh that they are a pure-hearted person who will bring Pokémon and people back into harmony with one another.

On the first floor, Suicune lingers in Pokémon Crystal, awaiting the player's arrival with a Clear Bell.

Pokémon the Series

Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver

Ecruteak City first appeared in A Ghost of a Chance and From Ghost to Ghost, when Ash and his friends arrived there for Ash's next Johto Gym battle. On their way, they encountered a street artist and Firebreather named Infernando, who tried to sell them a "Treasure Detector", but they declined the offer. When James later encountered him as well, he gladly bought the detector with the money he had been supposed to spend for food.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends wandered into the Burned Tower, mistaking it for the Ecruteak Gym. After they experienced some trouble with the local Ghost Pokémon, Morty arrived at the site and cleared everything up, then informed the group that the place was in fact once called the Tin Tower, a nestling ground for the Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh. When the tower burned down during a fight over Ho-Oh's power, the Rainbow Pokémon fled, never to be seen again, even though a new Tin Tower was built nearby in hopes that this would someday happen. Upon seeing a picture of Ho-Oh, Ash instantly recognized it as the mysterious Pokémon he saw on the day he started his journey, although Morty didn't seem to believe him. After dealing with Team Rocket trying to steal Pikachu once again, Ash and Morty agreed to have a Gym battle. The battle was conducted during the next day, where Ash, using his Noctowl as his ace, managed to pull through and win himself the Fog Badge. Morty also admitted that Ash might have indeed seen Ho-Oh like he claimed.

In Trouble's Brewing, before heading to Olivine City, Ash and his friends encountered the Kimono Sisters. The youngest of the sisters, Sakura, struck a friendship with the group, and wondered if she should start traveling with them. Eventually, however, she decided to train on her own before embarking on her own Pokémon journey.

In Espeon, Not Included, Ash and his friends returned to Ecruteak City on their way to Mahogany Town, and encountered the Kimono Girls again, finding out that Sakura had evolved her Eevee into an Espeon. By the end of the episode, Sakura finally embarked on her own journey to collect Badges, heading to Violet City. In For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!, the group met Eusine, a friend of Morty's and a pursuer of the Legendary Pokémon Suicune. Upon finding out that Ash had seen Suicune, Eusine accused him of lying and tried to challenge him to a battle, but the match was interrupted when Bug Pokémon started going wild around the city due to Team Rocket having stolen and accidentally broken one of the four Crystal Bells. While dealing with the trio of thieves, the group came face to face with Suicune itself. Eusine attempted to battle the Legendary beast, but the Aurora Pokémon easily escaped by using Roar on Eusine's Alakazam.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

In Staging a Heroes' Welcome!, Drew, Harley, and Solidad were shown watching May's Wallace Cup performance from Ecruteak City. In An Egg Scramble!, the city was featured in Lyra's presentation of the Johto region during the Johto Festival.

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

In Goodbye, Junior Cup—Hello, Adventure!, Ecruteak City was mentioned by Cameron. He had planned to travel there, because he believed that the Unova League tournament would be held there, having to be corrected by Ash and his friends.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

In Finding a Legend!, Ash and Goh visited Ecruteak City to investigate the Ho-Oh sightings made there. However, it turned out that the sighted "Ho-Oh" was just a disguised Fearow belonging to a boy named Chad, who desperately wanted his grandfather Jaye to see Ho-Oh so that he could regain his fate of its existence. With Goh's advice, they started climbing the Bell Tower, but they were caught in illusions created by a Misdreavus and a Stantler until Goh caught them. At the top of the tower, they started waving Jaye's Rainbow Wing around and calling for Ho-Oh to appear. Though their calls didn't seem to work, the Rainbow Wing started glowing in response to a rainbow appearing in the sky. When they started to leave, Jaye managed to get a view of Ho-Oh flying in the distance, though the others didn't see it.

Ecruteak City made a brief appearance in The Adventure, where Red's Pikachu attacked a trio of wild Wooper swimming in a river. However, since they were Ground-type Pokémon, Pikachu's Thunder Shock didn't hurt them at all. The Wooper then counterattacked with Mud Shot just as Lugia flew by, knocking Pikachu into the air.

Ecruteak City reappeared in a major role in The Reawakening. Eusine was seen visiting the Burned Tower, all the while going through the story of how the tower originally burned down, killing the three nameless Pokémon that Ho-Oh then resurrected in the form of the Legendary beasts. Unexpectedly, Suicune showed up, allowing Eusine to look at it for a few seconds before leaving. Despite the encounter being very brief, Eusine felt hopeful that the Legendary beasts were probably starting to regain their faith in humanity.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Ecruteak City debuted in Quilava Quandary, where the entire city was caught up in a giant earthquake. Jasmine, who was on her way to meet the Day-Care Couple at Route 34, got caught up in the devastation and ended up getting trapped in rubble. In Ampharos Amore, Gold and Silver noticed the light sent up by Jasmine's Amphy and rescued her, also coming to realize that the earthquake had been caused by a trained Pokémon. The Pokémon in question was revealed to be a Piloswine used by a group of Team Rocket members, including the two Rocket Executives Carl and Sham. With their combined efforts, Gold and Silver were able to defeat Team Rocket and force them to retreat. It was later revealed that Team Rocket had destroyed the city in an attempt to make Ho-Oh appear. The city was later rebuilt under Jasmine's supervision.

From Suddenly Suicune (Part 1) to Suddenly Suicune (Part 3), Crystal battled against Suicune at the Tin Tower in the hopes of catching it. Although she managed to hit it with a Heavy Ball, Suicune ended up getting away, marking the first time Crystal had ever failed to catch a Pokémon. As a result of this shock, she became unable to catch any Pokémon at all.

In Hello, Lickitung, Lt. Surge met Morty outside the Ecruteak Gym, wanting his help in finding Gold and Silver, who had gone missing after a battle against the Masked Man at the Lake of Rage. Using his powers, Morty was able to tell the two Pokédex holders were currently at the Whirl Islands.

In Buzz Off, Butterfree!, Yellow was revealed to have unintentionally released the Legendary beasts from their imprisonment at the Burned Tower's basement during the rebuilding project.

In Oh, It's Ho-Oh!, the Masked Man arrived in Ecruteak City, having sensed that Ho-Oh would return that very day. He confronted the Legendary Pokémon in the sky over the Tin Tower and declared that it would become his slave once more, as it had been nine years earlier. Ultimately, he succeeded in catching Ho-Oh, forcing it to become his servant again.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

Gold traveled to Ecruteak City to ask Morty about Lance's whereabouts, first stopping by at the Kimono Dance Theater in Pleased as Punch With Parasect to watch the Kimono Girls perform, before heading to the Ecruteak Gym. In Raising the Stakes with Rhyperior, Silver also arrived at the Gym, seeking Morty's help in finding the Plates scattered around Johto.

In It Takes Xatu to Tango, the Ecruteak Gym was destroyed by Arceus. Gold proceeded to pursue it as it fled, while Silver used the information given to him by Morty to start gathering the Plates.

Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys

In Gold and Black VS Team Rocket, Gold and Whitney arrived in Ecruteak City and attended the Pokémon Summit, a battle event held at a dome built on the former site of the Burned Tower. However, the event was interrupted by an attack by Team Rocket, led by Executive Grey. Fortunately, the three Legendary beasts appeared and prevented Team Rocket from destroying the dome, although the event was still cancelled due to this incident.

In A Promise Given to Miltank, Gold attempted to challenge Morty, but he refused to let Gold into his Gym with only two Badges. Gold started battling against Whitney to get a Badge from her, but Whitney's Miltank suddenly collapsed. It turned out that it had caught a deadly disease that had been troubling the local Miltank as well and could be only cured with a large amount of Berries. Morty joined them in collecting the Berries on Route 38, saving Miltank's life. Out of gratitude, Whitney gave Gold a Plain Badge and returned his Pikachu to him.

In Let's Fight! The Mini Pokémon Tournament, Gold tried to challenge Morty again, only to find out that he was leaving the Gym for a while and thus was unable to battle him. As such, Morty chose to give Gold a Fog Badge for free and told him to keep it at least until they could have a proper Gym battle.
