Location from Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver by Game Freak / Nintendo
The ruin across from the Bell Tower — the Brass Tower before it burned 150 years ago, where three Pokémon died, where Ho-Oh descended and made them into legends, and where the legendary beasts slept until someone came looking.
The Burned Tower is the other half of Ecruteak's mythology: where the Bell Tower is maintained hope, this is preserved grief. It burned 150 years ago — lightning, or violence between people, depending on which source you believe — and the fire killed three Pokémon inside. Ho-Oh came down from the sky and brought them back as Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Then Ho-Oh left, and the beasts slept in the ruins, and nobody disturbed them for a century and a half. Until the player and Silver both fall through a weakened floor into the basement where the three were resting. The disturbance wakes them. They scatter across Johto — three roaming encounters that the player can chase for the rest of the game. Morty and Eusine both know the tower, study it, treat it with a reverence that the game's dungeon mechanics don't quite match. It's a sacred site that also has breakable floors.
A fire-blackened ruin of a tower that would have matched the Bell Tower in height and grandeur. The walls are charred stone, the floors collapsed to rubble in places. There are holes in the roof. The interior smells of old ash. Somewhere below the main floor, deeper than the visible ruin, the beasts slept.
