# 0_0 Where are you from?
...
Hm, Twinleaf Town, you say.
Isn’t that close to Lake Verity?
That lake is said to be home to
MESPRIT, the being of emotion.
It must be looking over you.
# 0_1 Hm? If you get the Gym Badge from
Hearthome, you can use Surf anytime.
Using Surf, you’ll be able to go to
places that were once out of reach.
You may be in for some surprises
as to where you can go using Surf.
# 0_2 Celestic Town is the oldest town in
all of Sinnoh.
The town was founded to honor
Pokémon from the distant past.
Or at least that’s the legend...
# 0_3 Well, hello!
You look good.
I did some research of my own since
that spot of trouble last time.
Mt. Coronet acting up had me very
concerned, too.
Well, this is what I found in the
shrine.
It’s a book, and it’s quite old.
See for yourself.
# 0_4 “PALKIA, the Pokémon that binds the
spatial dimensions,” it is written...
# 0_5 “DIALGA, the guardian Pokémon of
time,” it is written...
# 0_6 It seems that there were two
Pokémon in ancient Sinnoh.
They respectively stood as symbols
of time and spatial dimensions...
# 0_7 My big sister is studying the myths
of Sinnoh.
She wants to know how people and
Pokémon interacted in the days of\fmyths.
Were things different back then?
Or were they the same as now?
She says that’s the focus of her
research.
# 0_8 It’s hard to tell for sure, but it’s
probably an invaluable scroll.
# 0_9 It’s an old book.
