More than a century ago, two towers stood in Ecruteak City. Lugia slept in one, and Ho-Oh perched at the top of the other. Then lightning struck, the fire raged for three days, and three Pokémon perished in the flames. The legend of Johto is one of the finest in the whole series.
This feature gathers everything the games tell about this mythology, from the signs in Ecruteak City to the Pokédex entries, then explores the Japanese and Chinese traditions that inspired it.
It sheds new light on your visit to the Burned Tower and your climb up the Tin Tower.
