cave painting.
Mysterious designs cover a whole
section of the wall.
There are three strange things
forming a triangle.
In the middle of them, a shining
sphere?
What is this all about?
# 0_1 The cave painting’s meaning seems
to be this...
There existed beings...
Beings so powerful, they were
considered deities at the time.
There were three Pokémon with power
to match either being.
The three kept balance with either
being, as if they formed a pyramid.
It’s an ancient legend of Sinnoh
that is still told in Celestic Town.
# 0_2 ???: I would like to know more about
that legend, if you will.
# 0_3 Elder: Who might you be...?
# 0_4 My name is Cyrus.
I want to put an end to pointless
strife and hostility.
I am seeking the power to create the
ideal world.
Thus, I want you to answer.
The world today can’t change because
the three Pokémon keep it in balance.
Is that what you are saying?
# 0_5 Elder: I wouldn’t know.
I do know the world is in balance.
I’m quite satisfied with the world the
way it is.
I’m not interested in your question.
# 0_6 Cyrus: ...Plead ignorance, will you?
What a pointless attitude.
You fail to appreciate that the world
is incomplete.
I will change the world.
As the first step, I will destroy this
cave painting that you’ve protected\fall these years.
A new legend of a new world should
take its place.
Am I wrong?
If you feel that way, challenge me.
# 0_7 Cyrus: Well? Am I wrong?
If you feel that way, challenge me.
# 0_8 Cyrus: ...I know you, Trainer.
We’ve met at Mt. Coronet.
Why would you want to protect this
incomplete world?
As the boss of Team Galactic, I will
show you the error of your ways.
# 0_9 Cyrus: ...You chose to be a coward.
How sensible of you.
Stand aside and watch as I change
the world.
# 0_10 Cyrus: ...You chose to be a coward.
How sensible of you.
Stand aside and watch as I change
the world.
# 0_11 Cyrus: ...Remarkable.
But, Elder, your attitude told me what
I needed to know.
If the beings of time and space are
brought together, they can’t be\fstopped...
# 0_12 That cave painting isn’t protected
simply because it’s old.
We’ve preserved it because we value
the memories that it represents.
It is a legacy of people and Pokémon
beyond measure.
A man who fails to understand that...
What world could he dream of?
# 0_13 Such a strange, strange man.
Spouting such nonsense.
The time and space of Sinnoh are
filled with the memories and thoughts\fof countless people and Pokémon.
This is a wonderful world.
What need is there to change it?
Oh, yes. I found something useful.
You should take this.
It belonged to my granddaughter,
but she doesn’t use it anymore.
# 0_14 If a Pokémon learns Surf, it can
carry you across water and the sea.
You’ve been a great help.
That’s my thanks for it.

# 0_16 Cynthia: This cave painting...
It’s always been described this way.
The light in the center represents
either DIALGA or PALKIA appearing\fat the Spear Pillar.
The three lights around it were thought
to be UXIE, MESPRIT, and AZELF.
# 0_17 May I continue?
# 0_18 Cynthia: But, then, I realized that
there may be another way of\finterpreting this.
Could this triangle of lights actually
represent a different trio?
Could they be DIALGA, PALKIA, and
GIRATINA instead?
And the large light at their center.
Does it represent something else?
Could it be what created this world of
ours?
May I continue for a little bit longer?
# 0_19 Cynthia: Thank you for listening to
my theory.
Do you know of the ancient Plates they
find all over Sinnoh?
One of them had this engraved on it.
“Two beings of time and space set
free from the Original One.”
I think this quote, too, points to the
presence of another Pokémon.
A Pokémon even more powerful than
DIALGA or PALKIA.
Does that sound plausible to you?
# 0_20 I’m not quite sure how GIRATINA fits
into this scheme of things, but...
It’s said that in the Distortion World,
neither time nor space were stable.
I think that tells us something about
GIRATINA, the only Pokémon there.
It must have been as powerful as
DIALGA and PALKIA, the rulers of time\fand space.
In some way, though, GIRATINA has to
have a power opposite of theirs.
# 0_21 I’m sorry this is so long.
May I say one last bit?
# 0_22 A long time ago, I wonder what sort of
person painted this?
DIALGA’s Roar of Time...
PALKIA’s Spacial Rend...
To the people back then, those Pokémon
really must have appeared to rule\fover time and space.
Seeing them must have shaken the
people to their very core.
This painting represents those feelings
of awe, wonder, and everything else.
It passed that memory to countless
people, eventually becoming a myth...
That’s what I believe as a researcher
of myths.
I think I let myself get carried away
and talked for far too long.
I’m sorry, and thank you.
Let’s meet again.
# 0_23 I’m so sorry.
I let myself get carried away...
