The Rainbow Wing - Pokémon Generations (2016)

An artefact of exceptional endowment, the Rainbow Wing was a single feather belonging to the legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh, which fell to earth at the "Burned Tower", a sight of historical prominence for the Rainbow Pokémon; where they resurrected three nameless Pokémon to become Suicune, Entei, and Raikou.

On the day it emerged, the young trainer Eusine had just met Suicune. Leaving to track down the great beast, he was so distracted by their presence that he did not notice the wing's arrival.

This appearance was a sign that suggested truth in the legends of "The Burned Tower" and Ecruteak City; that Ho-Oh and the Legendary Beasts would return to the Johto region when humanity came to trust the trio and not see them as abominations.

Formerly known as the Brass Tower, "The Burned Tower" was considered by many to be a valuable source of historical and mythical knowledge within Ecruteak City.

Said to be the sight of the rebirth for Entei, Suicune, and, Raikou, it was suggested that the Legendary Beast trio resided in the basement.

After researching the stories surrounding the Burned Tower, Eusine went to investigate the ruins in search of Suicune. Finding himself momentarily face to face with the great beast, he continued his quest after the latter disappeared.

However, as he left, a Rainbow Wing drifted out of the sky and landed unnoticed on the ground.

The Brass Tower - Pokémon Generations (2016)

A large wooden structure of great renown, the Brass Tower was one of two highly respectable, well-loved and cherished locations in the whole of Ecruteak City, before the great fire that reduced the building to ruins. 

One stormy evening, the building was hit by a bolt of lightning that set the entire edifice ablaze. While people watched on outside in horror, three Pokémon struggled through the collapsing detritus, only to die before they could make it out of the flames. Suddenly, a downpour soaked the smouldering ruins and extinguished the fire, preventing the rest of the tower from collapsing in on itself. 

Surveying the ruins, Ho-Oh resurrected the three nameless Pokémon into the Legendary Beasts of Johto, before hastily departing from the enraged and terrified citizens. 

In modern times, the remains earned the nickname the "Burned Tower". 

The Nameless Trio - Pokémon Generations (2016)

A trio of unnamed Pokémon living in Ecruteak City, they were the subject of legend in the Johto region and said to be the origins of the region's Legendary Beasts. 

Caught in a devastating fire that burned down one of the two great towers within the settlement, the three were unable to escape the great blaze and quickly perished in flame, smoke, and debris. 

Moved by their senseless deaths, Ho-Oh used their power to resurrect these Pokémon, transforming them into three elemental representations to forever symbolise the destruction of the towers; Raikou, the thunderbolt that struck and enkindled the wooden tower, Entei, the fire that killed them, and Suicune, the rain that put out the flames. 

Keldeo Resolute Form - Pokémon Black and White 2 (2012)

Three years after being adopted by Hilda and Hilbert, Keldeo returned to the Pokémon rangers who cared for them. Seeing how happy they had been, they decided to find them more trainers, eventually settling on Nate and Rose.

Arriving at Pledge Grove, Keldeo grew excited at the prospect of being close to where the Swords of Justice first formed and swore the oath to protect both humanity and Pokémon of Unova.

Overcome with powerful energy, they soon remembered how to perform Sacred Sword, transforming their horn into a blade-like weapon. Imbued with the essence of Terrakion, Virizion, and Cobalion, Kedleo's form began to alter and change, making them more resolute.

Now able to unleash their true potential, they were believed to be the most powerful of Unova's protective quartet.

Keldeo - Pokémon Black & White (2010)

Once living in the Moors of Iccirus during a time of war in Unova, the young Keldeo was separated from their parents during a forest fire. While wandering around the woods in despair, they were taken in by Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion who raised them as their own.

Training and honing their skills, Keldeo very soon developed a hidden power that surpassed their mentor. It was said that during combat, they primarily used their legs for heavy attacks.

As well as this, they could glide across rivers and oceans at great speeds, often appearing before humans at the most beautiful of waterfronts. However, soon after, he disappeared from the group and was not seen again for many years. Many believe they went off to seek adventures on their own, making themself stronger with intense battles; something which is noted with the development of their horn.

Found by Pokémon Rangers in the wilds of Unova, Keldeo befriended the humans and lived alongside them. Wanting them to explore the region and grow alongside Pokémon trainers, they were gifted to Hilbert and Hilda.

After the two trainers assembled the Swords of Justice, they returned to the Moor of Icirrus. Whilst Keldeo cantered around the grassland, an elderly gentleman appeared and explained their history. Once finishing the tale, he watched in delight as the trio taught the Colt Pokémon the unique move Sacred Sword.

Genesect - Pokémon Black/White & Black and White 2 (2010-12)

Dating back approximately 300 million years, Genesect was said to be one of the most powerful and feared predators of the era. Although they were eventually wiped out along with many other species of Pokémon during a mass extinction, some of their DNA was preserved in fossils.

Some of these remains were discovered by Team Plasma, who extracted and manipulated their genetic structure to revive Genesect. Wanting to create a truly unstoppable creature, they bound the Pokémon to a steel suit of armour and outfitted it with a specialised laser cannon that could fire four different elemental beams at will.

However, before any more Genesect could be manufactured, N demanded that Team Plasma shut down the project and promise to never experiment on living Pokémon again. 

Genesect eventually managed to escape from his captors and fled, whereupon they were eventually discovered by Pokémon Rangers. After some time in their custody, the rangers decided to find them a loving and caring owner. They soon chose the young trainers Nate and Rosa. 

With the Paliozaic Pokémon in their party, Rose and Nate inadvertently met Genesect's creator while inspecting a seemingly abandoned laboratory on route 17. The scientist, Dudley, ultimately gave the pair several weapon drives, expressing his deepest regret for turning Genesect into a tool and wishing the trainers luck in giving them a new home.

P2 Laboratory - Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 (2012)

Built on an island to the west of mainland Unova, on route 17, the P2 Laboratory was once a Pokémon research facility for Team Plasma.

Along with Dudley, several scientists working for the organisation experimented on fossils to revive ancient Pokémon and turn them into weapons. Their research eventually led to the creation of Genesect; a reanimated bug Pokémon ensconced in a suit of armour and equipped with a laser cannon. Wanting to create an army of Genesects with different abilities, they also developed several drives that could change what elements their weapon systems utilised.

However, the laboratory was eventually condemned and closed on the orders of N due to the nature of their experiments on living beings, forcing the team to abandon the island.

Despite this, Dudley continued the project until Genesect's eventual escape.

The lab was located by Rosa and Nate following the second fall of Team Plasma. While investigating the island, they came across Dudley, who, after losing a Pokémon battle with the pair, decided to depart from the facility once and for all and finally put the Genesect project to rest.

The pair also recovered a Dubious Disc, which they used to evolve their Porygon 2 into a Porygon-Z.

"Scientist" Dudley - Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 (2012)

A skilled specialist in the fields of genetics and computer science, Dudley worked for Team Plasma.

Operating out of a laboratory on a small coastal island, he helped conduct experiments on fossil Pokémon, hoping to revive and weaponise these creatures to aid the group's conquest of Unova. These experiments eventually led to the creation of Genesect.

When Dudley proudly showcased his work to N, he was angered by the boy's beliefs that scientific enhancements were both harmful and destructive to Pokémon, as well as his decision to shut down the project for good. Despite this, he claimed the research for himself and continued to work on the project.

After the fall of the new Team Plasma, he was visited by Nate and Rose while working in the abandoned lab. He remained dismissive of the children, only for his attitude to change upon learning that they had managed to obtain Genesect. Challenging them to a battle, his team of Klink and Klank was quickly defeated.

Lamenting the loss of his greatest creation, he began to question his decision to create Genesect in the first place. Concluding that he had no right to turn Pokémon into tools, Dudley surrendered the Shock, Douse, Chill and Burn Drives to the two heroes. He went on to explain the device's capability to alter the effect of Gnesect's signature move Techno Blast.
