Though their calls didn't seem to work, the Rainbow Wing started glowing in response to a rainbow appearing in the sky. At the top of the tower, they started waving Jaye's Rainbow Wing around and calling for Ho-Oh to appear. With Goh's advice, they started climbing the tower, but they were caught in illusions created by a Misdreavus and a Stantler until Goh caught them. While investigating rumors of a Ho-Oh sighting in Ecruteak, which turned out to be false, Ash and Goh encountered a boy named Chad, who desperately wanted his grandfather Jaye to see Ho-Oh. The Bell Tower reappeared in Finding a Legend!. The people of Ecruteak City decided to make another tower in hope of Ho-Oh returning, though it never did. However, several greedy people tried to take its power, burning down the original in the ensuing battle and forcing Ho-Oh to flee the tower. It is said that Ho-Oh would occasionally appear at the old tower as a sign of peace to a chosen few who were Morty's ancestors.

This tower was also built after the other tower had already burned.

Neither of the towers have any relation to Lugia in this continuity. In addition, the bells on the top floor are made of crystal and will only ring for Ho-Oh's appearance. The tower holds four bells on each floor, which will only ring if Ho-Oh or Suicune is coming. The importance of bells was made clear in For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!. The tower first appeared in A Ghost of a Chance, where it was referred to as the Tin Tower by the dub, like in the English Generation II games.

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 burned to the ground. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. However, about 150 years before the games' events, a lightning bolt struck the western tower. Ho-Oh roosted at the top of the Bell Tower to the east. The eastern tower was said to awaken Pokémon, while the western tower was where Pokémon were said to rest, similar to Hoenn's Cave of Origin and Mt. The view from atop the towers was said to be magnificent. The towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people. Seven hundred years before the events of the games, two nine-tier towers were built opposite each other in Ecruteak City.
