Gold & Silver Ecruteak City
Two towers loom over this old city: the Burned Tower, where the three beasts scatter, and the Tin Tower, Ho-Oh's perch. Morty reads ghosts in the gym while the Kimono Girls dance at the theater.
Ecruteak City is in Johto, with Tin Tower to the north, Route 42 to the east, and Route 38 to the west. In the story you arrive from Route 37 to the south and continue north to Burned Tower.

Ecruteak City Guide
Sixteen, double the usual eight. You clear Johto's eight Gyms first, then sail to Kanto after the Elite Four for eight more. Kanto's lineup shifted in the years since Red and Blue: Janine took over the Fuchsia Gym from her father Koga, and Blue, the old Kanto rival, now runs the Viridian Gym.
They do, thanks to the game's internal clock. Goldenrod's haircut brothers raise a Pokemon's friendship on a set schedule, some shops stock special goods only on certain days, and a few people hand out a different gift each day. Check what day it is before you write a town off as finished.
