# 0_0 The books on the third floor are
easy to read.
The ones down here are all too tough
for me to understand...
# 0_1 That tremor...
It was wicked!
I scrambled to find the book
“Disaster Strikes Survival Guide!”
# 0_2 The ceiling-high bookshelves are
crammed with books.
# 0_3 The shelves are lined with books
worn from being read by many people.
# 0_4 Please refrain from bringing food
or beverages into the library.
# 0_5 Well, hello!
We meet again!
After we parted, I went from Oreburgh
to Hearthome, Celestic, then Eterna.
Yes, the town and cities surrounding
the foot of Mt. Coronet.
Why my fascination with Mt. Coronet,
you may ask?
Well, Mt. Coronet happens to be called
“The origin of Sinnoh.”
I learned many things on my journey.
Would you like to hear about them?
# 0_6 Whoa, now let’s not be hasty!
I really want to share this with you!
# 0_7 The way I see it, our world began when
the spirit within people was born.
When that spirit came to be, there
followed awareness about the world.
Within that newborn spirit, time and
space were intertwined as one.
People and Pokémon, too, were but the
same presence.
As I understand it, people and Pokémon
shared the spirit and awareness.
They should have understood and
accepted each other then.
# 0_8 Because they shared the same spirit,
people and Pokémon intermingled.
People took the place of Pokémon,
and the opposite also held true.
That interpretation could give us an
idea about how our world came to be.
A Pokémon is said to have shaped
this world...
Could that Pokémon be the physical form
of the original spirit?
Hmm... The spirit came to be, and from
it, time and space were born...
That seems to point to legendary
DIALGA, the Pokémon of time, and\fPALKIA, the Pokémon of space...
And they lead back to ARCEUS, the
Pokémon that made them arise.
Isn’t this interesting?
Would you like to hear some more?
# 0_9 Whoa, please don’t tease me!
I really want to share this with you!
# 0_10 Oh, there were also Plates, weren’t
there?
One Plate read, “Three beings were
born to bind time and space.”
Those three beings I read to mean
the three Pokémon of the lakes.\fIt’s about UXIE, MESPRIT, and AZELF.
The myth describes how they gave
spirit to the world, shaping it.
But it all starts with ARCEUS, the
first. It is known as the Original One.
# 0_11 Oh, by the way, I wrote down the words
engraved on those Plates.
I summarized them in a book and
donated it to this library.
There it is in that bookshelf.
I’d be pleased if you’d read it.
# 0_12 I have to say I’m glad I came out to
Sinnoh.
I suppose I’d better be off in search
of new myths in faraway lands.
It would be nice if our paths were to
cross again.
# 0_13 ”Sinnoh’s Beginning as Told on Plates.”
This is a collection of engravings from
ancient Plates found in Sinnoh.
“The Original One breathed alone before
the universe came.”
“When the universe was created,
its shards became this Plate.”
“The power of defeated giants
infuses this Plate.”
“Two beings of time and space set
free from the Original One.”
“Three beings were born to bind
time and space.”
“Two make matter, and three make
spirit, shaping the world.”
“The powers of Plates are shared
among Pokémon.”
“The rightful bearer of a Plate
draws from the Plate it holds.”
