Three nameless Pokémon perished in the fire, but Ho-Oh descended from the sky and resurrected them. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze, but it had already burnt to the ground. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. The towers stood strong for about 550 years, when a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It is unknown what made the residents revere Lugia and Ho-Oh, but a separate tale indicates that Lugia had previously had an encounter with the people of Johto when it stopped a war on the Whirl Islands, which were a single island at that time. Both towers became the roost of powerful flying Pokémon: Lugia and Ho-Oh, respectively. They were the Brass Tower in the west, which was said to awaken Pokémon, and the Bell Tower in the east, where Pokémon were said to rest. The temple, too, has since been left in ruins and its lowest floor is now known as the Sinjoh Ruins however, the ritual of honoring Legendary Pokémon through dance circulated back to Johto, specifically to Ecruteak City.Īpproximately 700 years before modern times, the people of Ecruteak built two nine-tier towers with the hopes of fostering friendship and hope between Pokémon and humans. Together, the two groups built a temple in honor of Arceus, which incorporated elements from both the Ruins of Alph and the Spear Pillar this collaboration probably has to do with the underlying relationship between Arceus and the Unown. As for the clan, their quest led them to a mountain far to the north, where they met another group of people who had hailed from the Spear Pillar. To ensure the Unown's well being, the Ruins of Alph's inhabitants decided to leave the region, but not without devising complicated puzzles so that one day the Unown could be summoned again. As the Unown were timid creatures, they rejected contact with anyone but the clan that protected them.
Not only did that tribe impart messages on the ruins' walls describing the Unown, but they also erected a Pokémon statue for an unknown reason.Īt some point later, outsiders began to gather near the ruins. Although no one knows exactly who built the Ruins of Alph, research indicates that the people in question were an ancient civilization that wished to co-exist with the enigmatic Unown that bear great similarity to the alphabet letters. Kyoto, which is the basis for Ecruteak City, is considered the cultural center of Japan although Osaka, which is the basis for Goldenrod City, is typically modern.ġ,500 years before modern times, the place now known as the Ruins of Alph was built in Johto, and the earliest known system for writing-the modern Latin alphabet-was developed. Compared to modern Kantō, Kansai is linked to the past, and known for its historical temples, shrines, palaces, gardens, and architecture. Kansai and Kantō are the two most populous areas of Honshū, the largest island of Japan, and much like Johto and Kanto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. Johto is based on the real Kansai region in Japan. Junichi Masuda has stated in his director's column that the kanji that inspired the name mean "castle palace" (城都) or "lattice-shaped palace" (条都) this meaning is connected to the city of Nara, which was the basis for Violet City.
