History of Ecruteak
In Ecruteak City, there were two towers. They were both roosts of powerful legendary flying Pokémon. One of the towers, however, burned to the ground. The Pokémon have not been seen since. It was also home to three Pokémon racing around the town. They were said to be born of lightning, water, and fire. However, they could not retain their excessive power. And so, they are said to run like wind off into the grassland.
"Whew! What a ride," said Duncan.
"Well, we'd better stop at the Pokémon Center for the night. It's 9:00," said Kamon.
"Maybe I'll hang out at the dance theater," said Crystal. She heard that the Kimono Sisters were playing tonight.
In the Dance Theater, the Kimono Sisters were indeed on stage. "Wow! Look, Spike, not only are they great dancers, their Pokémon are too!" She then took a closer look at the Pokémon. Three of them were Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon. But two others were ones she never saw before. Crystal pulled out her Pokédex, and it identified the light one as Espeon, and the dark one as Umbreon. "These must be two new 'Eeveelutions'," said Crystal. Spike stared right at the amazing show, of lightning, fire, and water, as well as light and darkness. The spike ball Pokémon thought, Isn't that dangerous? I could be attacked, and I'm too small and weak. Crystal then yelled out loud, "You girls are wonderful! All that rigorous training pays off!"
One of the women, named Sayo, who was wearing a blue kimono, replied, "We always dance with our Pokémon."
"But of course, you always train them. So, I'd like to battle you all! Without my friends to help me!"
"As you wish," said Sayo.
Duncan decided to go to the Gym. But it was closed. Ben was there, and he said, "Morty's off to the Burned Tower, Duncan. Try going there first."
"Dunc, I think we'll have to come back tomorrow."
"Let's just to the Burned Tower," said Duncan. "Thanks, Ben!"
"No problemo!"
The two trainers headed to the Burned Tower, which was right behind the Gym. The Tower was the remnants of a tall tower. The roof had been burned off. "Wait, Dunc! Don't go in there!"
Kamon read the sign, which said, "This tower was destroyed in a mysterious fire. Please stay away, as it is unsafe."
"Look, we've been in unsafe situations before. This is no different."
"Whatever you say, dude. Axel, I think you'd better stay in your PokéBall. This could be dangerous," Kamon told the Persian, and recalled it into its PokéBall.
As the two boys entered the tower, they were greeted by a familiar looking man in a purple jumpsuit and cape. "My name's Eusine."
"Eusine," said Duncan. "I've heard of you."
"I'm searching for a Pokémon called Suicune."
"Oh," said Kamon. "Good luck with that, there's no catching it!"
"And you are...?"
"I'm Duncan Caliduct."
"Kamon Stelldox."
"Glad to meet you!" exclaimed Eusine. "I've heard that Suicune is in this burned tower, so I came to look. But where is it?"
"Morty!" yelled Kamon. A young man with a blue headband was next to Eusine.
"Suicune is just one of the three legendaries. The others are Entei, and Raikou."
Kamon and Duncan searched through the tower. Then ten minutes later, they were back. Kamon gruffly said, "There's nothing hidden here. After all Eusine's trouble," he poked Eusine, "coming to this dump! Face it, it's a mystery, and it's always gonna be a mystery!"
"Look, I just wanted to see it..."
"You can't catch legendaries." Suddenly, the floor gave way. Duncan fell through. "Hey, wait! What's going on? Oh no! I think Dunc was killed! Crystal's gonna kill me, too!"
"Agh! Oomph!" Duncan landed on the hard floor. It was a miracle he survived that one, but with bruises. "Hey, guys! I'm alive!" he yelled from the floor.
"It's okay! He's alive!" exclaimed Kamon.
"I'm- I'm in another room! Kamon, Morty, Eusine, jump down here! I survived, and so should you!"
Eusine called out Pidgeot, who flew him down the pit. The bird then flew Morty and Kamon down, too.
"What the- What is that?" inquired Kamon. He pointed at some statues of legendary Pokémon. They were statues, and they didn't seem to come to life. Duncan then took a step forward, and the statues came to life!
"Guys, stay back," said Eusine.
Morty took a photo of the legendaries, to give to Eusine. One of the Pokémon ran off. The other two stood closely at Duncan and Kamon, with piercing gazes. "We have found them... descendents of the Heroes," said the Entei.
Eusine stood in awe and shock. "For ten years, I have searched for Suicune, and I finally have seen it."
Morty added, "Entei and Raikou stood very close to you. They've tested their loyalty to Chosen Humans."
"But where'd Suicune go?"
"Suicune will appear on your journey. He will wait for the third one."
"Crystal," said Kamon.
"Yes," said Raikou.
"Duncan, here is your Badge, the Fog Badge!"
Duncan and Kamon woke up. It was still night. "Kamon, what happened?"
"Dude, we've had a strange dream of meeting Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Suicune said that Crystal is one of the Chosen Humans."
"Come on, Kamon, it's just a dream."
"A very vivid one," said Kamon, astonished. Axel stood in shock. Kamon has had a dream! After all these years of non-believing, it happened!
"All right, Naoko! I defeated you!"
The crowd broke into cheers of enjoyment.
Zuki, one of the Kimono Sisters, told Crystal, "I want you to have this." She handed her HM03. Surf! Pokémon can swim! And so, Crystal ran out of the door, and into the Pokémon Center.
In their room, Kamon was ghost-faced while Duncan was trying to convince him that what happened in the Burnt Tower was just a dream.
"Crystal, if our dreams weren't enough, the Fog Badge is on the desk!" said Kamon. On the desk, there was the Badge!
"Morty probably gave it to us for good luck," said Crystal.
"Look, let's forget about the dream, and continue on with our quest. We gotta get to Uncle Chuck!"
And so, the three trainers went to sleep. Kamon shook in terror. What if Team Rocket was still after him?
