# 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.”
That Pokémon may well be watching
over you.
Would you like to know more about
MESPRIT?
# 0_1 MESPRIT is the legendary Pokémon
that symbolizes the emotions.
Beside it are also UXIE, “The Being of
Knowledge,” and AZELF, “The Being of\fWillpower.”
These three Pokémon are said to have
strong and compassionate spirits.
The power of their spirits maintains
the natural balance of Sinnoh.
# 0_2 Hahaha!
Well, of course you wouldn’t.
It’s a tale from so long ago.
It’s no wonder you weren’t interested.
# 0_3 Using the move Surf, you’ll be able to
go to places that were inaccessible.
You’d be surprised where you can go.
# 0_4 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_5 Well, hello!
You look good.
I did some research of my own since
that spot of trouble last time.
Mt. Coronet’s 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.
Let me read a bit for you.
“The bearer of the shining Adamant Orb
summons DIALGA to the Spear Pillar.
“The guardian Pokémon of time will
answer the call.
“The bearer of the shining Lustrous
Orb summons PALKIA to the Spear Pillar.
“The Pokémon that binds the spatial
dimensions will answer the call.”
It seems the people of long ago met
both DIALGA and PALKIA, the Pokémon\fof time and space.
# 0_6 “PALKIA, the Pokémon that binds the
spatial dimensions,” it is written...
# 0_7 “DIALGA, the guardian Pokémon of
time,” it is written...
# 0_9 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_10 It’s hard to tell for sure, but it’s
probably an invaluable scroll.
# 0_11 It’s an old book.
VAR(259, 0, 0) began reading it.
“When that Pokémon was born,
intelligence bloomed among us,\fenriching our lives.
“When that Pokémon was born,
emotions bloomed among us,\fgiving us joy and sorrow.
