Appendix:HeartGold and SoulSilver walkthrough/Section 8
These pages follow the remade Nintendo DS iteration, not Pokémon Gold and Silver. The guide for those games can be found here.
Ecruteak City
Ecruteak City lies in the woods of northern Johto, between Routes 37, 38, and 42. The city honors its past by preserving long-held traditions, like the old-fashioned architecture of the local dance theater and the two towers that stand to the north. Several legendary Pokémon have ties to the area, giving Ecruteak an air of mystery.

Treasure Hunting
Visit the southwest house and speak to the man inside. He gives you a Dowsing MCHN, a device that can detect any hidden items nearby.
Pokémon Center
Meet Bill
Enter the Pokémon Center to meet Bill, the creator of the Pokémon Storage System. He may have been the one to invent the program, but he credits Lanette, an associate of his from the distant Hoenn region, for making it easier to use. He mentions how he and his friends from all around the world are always working to improve the trading and storage systems, then leaves for home in Goldenrod City.
Ecruteak Dance Theater
When you first enter the Dance Theater, you witness one of the Kimono Girls being harassed by a Team Rocket Grunt. He criticizes her dancing, and demands that she perform a dance that is less "serious". She refuses, and he then begins to demonstrate the kind of dance he would like to see by spinning around onstage himself. Speak to him to pull the troublemaker into battle!
Afterward, he suddenly remembers that he has a mission to complete, and runs off. If you speak to the Kimono Girl, she mentions how you are kind and strong, and how "that person" certainly knows what to look for in people. When pressed, she explains that she was only talking to herself. Upon leaving the stage, the Gentleman in the audience approaches you, and rewards your courage with HM03 (Surf).
Burned Tower
The charred ruins of the Burned Tower lie in the northwest part of the city. Formerly known as the Brass Tower, it was once as majestic as the Bell Tower to the east. When it was new, it was said to be the roost of a silvery, sparkling Pokémon. But centuries later, a heavy storm rolled in and the tower was struck by lightning, igniting a great fire that would rage for three days. The silver Pokémon and the rainbow-hued Pokémon that roosted on the Bell Tower escaped to the skies unharmed, and the silver Pokémon flew away, never to return. A sudden downpour would finally douse the flames, and the rainbow Pokémon gave new life to three nameless Pokémon that perished in the blaze before it flew off as well.

1F
Upon entering the ruined tower, you can see three majestic Pokémon through the crumbling floor. There are also two men nearby; when you approach them, the first man introduces himself as Eusine. He has been tracking a Pokémon named Suicune, and heard rumors that it was here. He directs you to peer through the hole in the floor, and states that the Pokémon is downstairs. However, he cannot approach any closer as it would simply run away, as it has several times before. If spoken to, the second man introduces himself as Morty, the Ecruteak City Gym Leader. He is here to investigate as well, both to help his friend and to properly understand the city's legends as its Gym Leader.
Ambush!
When you approach the ladder to B1F, you are ambushed again by Silver. He is looking for the legendary Pokémon that are supposed to be here, and accuses you of trying to get to them first. He aims to stop you, and draws you into battle.
Rival Battle 3
Silver has added another new Pokémon to his team since the previous battle. Magnemite takes serious damage from Fire-, Ground-, and Fighting-type attacks. For Trainers who chose Cyndaquil, or traded for the Machop in Goldenrod City, it will likely be little threat. His Gastly is still vulnerable to the same Ghost-, Psychic-, and Dark-type moves. Use Rock- and Electric-type moves against his Zubat for greatest effect. The Pokémon that he took from Elm's lab has grown a few levels but otherwise has changed little since the previous battle.
If the player chose Chikorita:

If the player chose Cyndaquil:

If the player chose Totodile:

Afterward, Silver shrugs off his loss as he moves to leave the tower, declaring that you would never be able to catch a legendary Pokémon anyway.
Exploring the Ruins
Go north from the ladder to battle Firebreather Ned. Move westward along the few remaining floorboards to pick up an Antidote and fight Firebreather Richard. Turn south to find an HP Up behind a breakable rock, then backtrack and climb down the ladder.
B1F
On the lower level, you find yourself standing before three mysterious Pokémon. They do not react until approached, when two of the three immediately dash off in different directions and begin racing across the land. Suicune pauses for a moment to examine you before rushing off like the others. They can be encountered almost anywhere but flee from humans immediately. After seeing them in battle, the Pokédex tracks their movements.
Eusine appears a moment later. He excitedly asks if you saw Suicune run past, and says that he has been chasing the beast for ten years but has never been this close to it. According to him, Suicune took notice of your presence, and Ecruteak's legendary Pokémon are said to only appear before people when they recognize their talents. He wonders aloud if he should be more aggressive in his search, and bids you goodbye until next time.
Tin Tower
The Bell Tower stands tall in the northeast part of the city. It is a sacred place, and is off-limits to all but a few people. Ecruteak's Fog Badge gets you inside, but no higher than the first floor. Two legendary artifacts are required to reach the rest of the tower.
Ecruteak Gym
Ecruteak City Pokémon Gym Leader: Morty The Mystic Seer of the Future |
The Ecruteak Gym specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon. Ghost-type moves are super effective against Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokémon, while Ghost-type Pokémon are weak to Ghost- and Dark-type moves. Normal- and Fighting-type moves will have no effect.
The Gym features what appears to be a bottomless pit, with a narrow bridge crossing over it. Challengers who step in the wrong place are returned to the entrance. The Gym Trainers are positioned along this walkway, with the path to the Gym Leader mostly follows each Gym Trainer's line of sight.
Morty's Pokémon tend to use indirect attacks to harass their target. Spite and Curse drain the target's energy, while Lick and Hypnosis can inflict status ailments. Most of his Pokémon can even use Mean Look to prevent escape. Ghost-type Pokémon are vulnerable to Ghost- and Dark-type moves, but Psychic-type attacks are an equally effective way to target their secondary Poison typing, instead.
After the battle, Morty awards you the Fog Badge, which ensures obedience of all Pokémon up to level 50 and enables the use of Surf in the field. He also gives you TM30 (Shadow Ball) as a prize.
Route 38
Route 38 leads west from Ecruteak City, weaving through the trees on its way toward Route 39.

Meet Baoba
When you first approach the northernmost intersection, you are met by a Gentleman named Baoba. He tells you that he used to run a Safari Zone in Kanto's Fuchsia City, but it was becoming outdated with new entertainment options always coming out. His travels took him overseas to learn the newest technology and he has built a state of the art Safari Zone near Cianwood City, to the southwest. The two of you exchange phone numbers so that you will be his first call when the new Safari Zone opens to the public.
Moomoo Farm
The Moomoo Farm depends on its herd of Miltank to produce its milk, which is popular with people and Pokémon as far away as Kanto. Speak to the farmer in the farmhouse to learn that one of their Miltank has fallen ill, and will need Oran Berries to recover. Visit the barn to find the farmer's daughters tending to the sickly Miltank. In order to fully recover, she must be fed a total of seven Oran Berries. Once her condition returns to normal, the little girl on the left gives you a Seal Case as thanks, and you can speak to the little girl on the right to receive three copies each of Fire Seal A, Party Seal B, and Flora Seal C. Visit the farmhouse afterward and speak to the farmer's wife to receive TM83 (Natural Gift) as a reward. From this point onward, Moomoo Milk can be purchased from the farmer for $500 per bottle.
