The burned tower was once a breathtaking sight, built as a symbol of the friendship between people and Pok茅mon.
When the fire struck, all but three unknown Pok茅mon were able to escape the flames. They died amongst the tower鈥檚 debris, succumbing聽to the smoke and embers.
It was only after the fire was killed that the townspeople of Ecruteak City were able to grieve the charred, lost bodies of the deceased Pok茅mon.
They say that during that tragic moment of mourning was when the darkened sky was suddenly brought alight.
A mighty, bird-like beast appeared, their very presence聽seeming to clear the smoke from the sky. They cast their shadow upon Ecruteak City, the beast so large that they blocked out the sun like an eclipse. But their vibrant feathers reflected the sunlight like crystal prisms, and the burned tower was bathed in the light of the most beautiful rainbow.
No one can quite explain how Ho-Oh was able to give life to the deceased Pok茅mon. But Ho-Oh鈥檚 rainbow is mighty, and the Pok茅mon were imbued聽with this power. Whether it was some sort of legendary evolution, or simply the price of resurrection, may never be known.
What we do know, however, is that the light of Ho-Oh鈥檚 rainbow was so vibrant, so gorgeous, and so pure, even the three Pok茅mon who had perished within the flames reared their heads to gaze upon Ho-Oh.
All beheld Ho-Oh and the three Pok茅mon as they witnessed the ashes of the tower rise and breathe.
These three Pok茅mon were undoubtably powerful.
And although it was a gift Ho-Oh had given, it is common for us to fear the unknown.
The villagers did not welcome the resurrected Pok茅mon. They reacted out of fear, and violence ensued.
But the Pok茅mon did not fight back. They simply turned their backs and ran off into the wild.
They were not afraid聽of the villagers. They were ashamed.
Ashamed that the townsfolk mourned their deaths but threatened their lives.
Disappointed that the people of Ecruteak City had taken Ho-Oh鈥檚 gift so ignorantly, Ho-Oh took their leave as well. Thus marked the day that the race of man lost Ho-Oh鈥檚 respect.
Ho-Oh was never again seen by the eyes of man. According to the elders of Ecruteak, Ho-Oh will only appear once more to a trainer whose heart is gold and soul is silver, to a pure being who can redeem the people of Johto.
Perhaps one day, such a trainer will finally appear.
