Heh.
Silver and Gold fit cause of the Journey to the West.
In it, there are two kings, one with a gold motif horn, and the other a silver motif horn.
One of them lives in a cave (Lugia), and one atop of a mountain (Ho-oh.) Yes yes, Ho-oh is atop of a tower, but a tower stands erect, like a mountain.
In the story, Sun Wukong(Ethan/Gold) traps them in a gourd (pokeball).
That's about the extent of it though.
Crystal cause Suicune is the embodiment of the aurora lights, which basically shares the color schemes of crystals.
