# 0_0 Eterna came to be long ago in honor
of ancient Pokémon.
Though many things have changed,
what is important has not.
I hope it remains that way forever
more...
# 0_1 Have you seen the Pokémon statue?
When I was a wee child, it used to be
the centerpiece of many festivals...
# 0_2 Sheesh!
What’s the world coming to?!
Someone ripped off the descriptive
plate from the Pokémon statue!
Now no one can read the inscription!
Why would someone do that?\fActually, want to know what it said?
# 0_3 The first inscription went like this,
sort of.
“...creation of DIA...
...giver of time...
“In laughter, there is tears...
And, likewise...
“The same time flows...
...the blessing of DIA...”
Yikes...
I’ve forgotten big chunks of it.
Want to hear about the other
inscription?
# 0_4 The second inscription went sort of
like this.
“...birth of PAL...
...creator of parallel dimensions...
“Alive, yet not alive...
...rifts in space...
“To arrive in the same univer...
...the blessing of PAL...”
I’ve heard some people talk about
there once being a third inscription.
I’m kind of skeptical, though.
I mean, think about it.
A third Pokémon alongside those that
control time and space?
There couldn’t possibly be a Pokémon
that mighty.
# 0_5 Well, if you’re not interested, don’t
feel obligated or anything.
