[[File:Ecruteak City HGSS.png|thumb|300px|Ecruteak City]]
Welcome to {{ci|Ecruteak}}, a historical city where the past meets the present. The city is shrouded in mystery, as all but {{p|Celebi|one}} of the region's legendary Pokémon have ties to the area. Unique landmarks include the [[Ecruteak Gym]], Kimono Dance Theater, and the twin towers; the [[Burned Tower]] in the west, and the [[Bell Tower]] in the east.

===Meet Bill===
Stop by the Pokémon Center to meet [[Bill]], the inventor of the PC Storage System. He talks about improving the Pokémon trading and storage systems with his friends, especially [[Lanette]] of the [[Hoenn]] region. From this point on, Wi-Fi capabilities are now enabled for all Pokémon Centers. He then leaves for his home in {{ci|Goldenrod}}, where you can visit him to receive an {{p|Eevee}}. Eevee is a rare Pokémon that can evolve into one of seven [[Eeveelutions|variations]].
===Treasure Hunting===
Visit the house next to the Gym, and speak to the man inside. He gives you the [[Dowsing Machine|Dowsing MCHN]], a handy tool that reacts to hidden items lying nearby.
===Kimono Dance Theater===
As you enter the building, one of the [[Kimono Girls]] is onstage, yelling at the [[Team Rocket|Rocket Grunt]] for harassing her. Beat the troublemaker and he runs off, and an old man from the audience rewards you with {{HM|03|Surf}} as you exit the stage.
===Bell Tower===
The [[Bell Tower]] is a sacred place, and is off-limits to all but a few people. Ecruteak's Fog Badge grants access to the building, but no higher than the first floor. A pair of special items, the [[Rainbow Wing]] and [[Clear Bell]], are required to reach the rest of the tower.
The charred, crumbling ruins of the [[Burned Tower]] can be found in the city's northwest district. Formerly known as the Brass Tower, it was once as majestic as the [[Bell Tower]] to the east. Built 700 years ago, it was said to be the roost of {{p|Lugia|a silver-colored Pokémon}}. But 150 years ago, the tower was struck by a lightning bolt that ignited a fire that raged for three days. The silver Pokémon and {{p|Ho-Oh|the rainbow-hued Pokémon}} that roosted on the Bell Tower escaped to the skies unharmed, and a sudden downpour quenched the fire. The silver Pokémon flew off, while the rainbow Pokémon resurrected [[Legendary beasts|three nameless Pokémon]] that perished in the blaze before flying off as well.

===1F===
There are two people near the entrance who are investigating the ruins. One is [[Morty]], the Ecruteak Gym Leader, and the other is [[Eusine]], Morty's friend and researcher focusing on the [[legendary beasts]]. Both are well-versed in the local legends, and Eusine has even dedicated his life to tracking and meeting {{p|Suicune}}. He may be close to his goal, as three regal-looking Pokémon can be seen through the charred hole in the floor, standing motionless on the lower level. Once the two have explained the legend of the tower, head north to meet {{ga|Silver}}.
====Rival battle 3====
{{MSP|152|Chikorita}} If the {{player}} chose {{p|Chikorita}}:
The legendary beasts awaken with a roar when you approach them. {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}} leap quickly around the room before running off, and {{p|Suicune}}, pausing for a moment to examine you, follows the others a moment later. [[Eusine]] hurries down the ladder and marvels at seeing Suicune, as he has been pursuing it for nearly ten years. As the beasts are now [[roaming Pokémon]], it is possible to track Raikou and Entei with the [[Pokégear]]'s Map function.
The [[Moomoo Farm]] depends on its herd of {{p|Miltank}} to produce milk, but one of these cows has gotten sick. In order for it to recover, it must be fed a total of seven [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. Once its condition improves, speak to the two girls to receive a [[Seal Case]] and three sets of Seals as a reward. In addition, visit the farmer's wife to receive {{TM|83|Natural Gift}}. With things back to normal, the farmer begins offering [[Moomoo Milk]], which restores 100 HP, for {{pdollar}}500 per serving. They can also be purchased by the dozen.

==Olivine City==
[[File:Olivine City HGSS.png|thumb|Olivine City]]
[[Olivine City]] is a major port city located on the west coast. Landmarks include [[Olivine Gym]] and [[Glitter Lighthouse]], neither of which is operating normally. In addition, the [[S.S. Aqua]], a ferry that sails to Kanto's [[Vermilion City]] and back, is currently undergoing engine maintenance. {{ga|Silver}} emerges from the Gym as you pass by, and mentions that the Gym Leader is tending to a sick Pokémon in the lighthouse.

===Hook the Big One!===
Stop by the house south of the Gym. The Fisherman inside hands out the [[Good Rod]], a mid-level fishing rod that is capable of reeling in a wider variety of Pokémon than the [[Old Rod]].
===Time for a Trade===
There are two houses to the northwest of the lighthouse. In the house on the left, a Fisherman is hoping to trade his {{p|Voltorb}} for a {{p|Krabby}}. Voltorb cannot be found in Johto, while Krabby are somewhat common in these waters, especially with the Good Rod.
Climb to the fourth floor, battling Gentleman Alfred, Sailor Huey, and Bird Keeper Theo along the way. On 4F, fight Lass Connie to reach {{TM|87|Swagger}} in the southwest. Walk to the light spilling in on the east side, and jump through the opening to land on the exterior platform, where a [[Rare Candy]] can be found. Head back inside to a separate part of the third floor. Beat Sailor Kent to reach the [[Ether]], then climb to 5F. Pick up the [[Super Repel]] near Sailor Ernest, and take the final ladder to 6F, the Light Room.
[[Jasmine]], the local Gym Leader, is here tending to her sick {{p|Ampharos}}, [[Amphy]]. It would normally use its tail to illuminate the harbor, but has gotten sick and has not yet recovered to its full strength. Jasmine talks of a {{DL|Cianwood City|Cianwood City Pharmacy|pharmacy}} across the ocean in [[Cianwood City]] that specializes in a form of [[Secret Potion|non-traditional medicine]]. She cannot leave Amphy unattended, so she asks you to retrieve the medicine for her. She unlocks the door to allow you to quickly come and go via the elevator.

Ecruteak City Pokémon Gym Leader: Morty
The Mystic Seer of the Future
The Ecruteak Gym specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon. These spirits take serious damage from Psychic, Ghost, and Dark-type attacks, and are usually unaffected by Normal- and Fighting-type attacks. However, a Pokémon with Foresight can disable these immunities. In addition, Pokémon with the Scrappy ability—like Miltank—can hit these ghosts with Normal attacks. Three of Morty's Pokémon know Mean Look, which prevents the target from switching; however, this can still be achieved through the effect of U-turn. His Gastly and two Haunter can drain the target's health every turn with Curse, but this requires paying half of their maximum HP. It is recommended to bring a few Full Heals or Awakenings in order to disrupt his Haunter's Hypnosis-and-Dream Eater/Nightmare combo.
Defeated, Morty awards you the Fog Badge, which ensures obedience from all Pokémon up to level 50, and enables the use of Surf in the field. He also hands over TM30 (Shadow Ball) as a prize. There are two ways out of Ecruteak City. Route 38 leads west to the Cianwood Gym and Olivine Gym. Route 42 leads east to the Mahogany Gym. After receiving the Fog Badge, you can go both directions and defeat the next three gym leaders in whatever order you want.
Union Cave (optional)
Union Cave, B2F
Exploring Union Cave's basement floors with Surf and Strength reveals two more exits that lead back to the Ruins of Alph. On the bottom floor, a wild Lapras appears every Friday.
Trainers with a telephone symbol by their names will give their Pokégear number to the player, and may call or be called for a rematch with higher-level Pokémon.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Return with the HM moves Surf and Strength to finally explore the rest of the cave.
To reach the Ruins of Alph, take the north stairs down to B1F. Surf north to reach a fork in the road; the northern path leads to Puzzle 3, while the southern path, blocked by a boulder, leads to Puzzle 4. To reach the bottom floor, surf across the southwest pool of water on 1F to reach the stairs. Swim across another pool on B1F, and take the next flight of stairs to the north side of B2F.
B2F
There is an Elixir in the northeast corner, and a Hyper Potion on the platform near Ace Trainer Nick. A wild Lapras appears in the southern pool every Friday. SAVE your game before trying to catch it.
Trainers with a telephone symbol by their names will give their Pokégear number to the player, and may call or be called for a rematch with higher-level Pokémon.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.

When you approach the farm, you meet an old man named Baoba. He is the warden of the newly constructed Safari Zone near Cianwood City, across the sea to the southwest. Swap phone numbers with him to receive a call when the park is up and running.
Moomoo Farm
The Moomoo Farm depends on its herd of Miltank to produce milk, but one of these cows has gotten sick. In order for it to recover, it must be fed a total of seven Oran Berries. Once its condition improves, speak to the two girls to receive a Seal Case and three sets of Seals as a reward. In addition, visit the farmer's wife to receive TM83 (Natural Gift).
