Brass Tower (Japanese: かねのとう Metal 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. The Brass Tower was built 700 years ago in Ecruteak City, along side its twin, the Tin Tower. The towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people. The view from the top of the towers was said to be 'magnificent'. The Brass Tower, with gleaming silver-colored panels, was, according to legend, the perch of Lugia. 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, a similarity to the Hoenn region's Cave of Origin and Mt. Pyre, respectively. At the time, an immense silver-colored Pokémon, was said to make its roost atop the Brass Tower, while its counterpart, the glorious rainbow-colored Ho-Oh was said to rest at Tin Tower. owever, around 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for 3 days. Lugia and Ho-Oh escaped to the skies unharmed. A sudden downpour put an end to the blaze, possibly because of the yawning Slowpoke that ended the long-term drought in Azalea Town. The blaze of fire 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. The lightning bolt along with the engulfing flames, and the sudden downpour are said to be connected to the three legendary beasts whose types are electric, fire and water.
