At the town center of Celestic, Cynthia's Grandma looks at the giant hole in front of them, and exclaims that the man has entered the ruins and seen the frescoes, frescoes which speak of the secrets of Sinnoh's legend that no one is ever supposed to see.

Inside the cavern of the ruins, Cyrus stares at the ancient wall painting, which depicts three creatures each with two long jewelled tails surrounding a central symbol, and recognizes them as Uxie, the one with a helmet head, who stays at Lake Acuity and governs knowledge; Azelf, the one with a cone-shaped head, residing at Lake Valor and governing willpower; and Mesprit, the one with appendages on the sides of its head, who sleeps at Lake Verity and governs emotion.

He remembers what was written in the old literatures, and states out loud that when all the lake beings are brought together, combining willpower, knowledge and emotion, the three split entities will return to one, and create a powerful pulling force.

Grandma and the trio rush into the ruins just in time to hear the man's words, and the old lady is bewildered that he is capable of interpreting the meaning behind the wall paintings. Lady Berlitz wonders how exactly the frescoes appear like, and wishes to get closer for a better look, causing Pearl to sweatdrop at her enthusiasm to learn even at times as such.

However, Dia suddenly blocks himself in front of the two, and says they cannot go any deeper into the cavern, especially not the Lady. Lady Berlitz gets upset and demands to know why she is especially not allowed to do so, and begins to fight her way in. Dia tries to explain that it is because of the man, while Pearl attempts to quiet them, and the little struggle soon results in all three of them tumbling onto the ground.

Lady Berlitz climbs back onto her knees, and happens to lay eyes on the wall painting of the helmet head creature when she looks up, causing her to let out a gasp while putting on an astonished expression. Dia says she has gotten her wish to see the frescoes now, and hurriedly moves her behind a boulder for shelter. Pearl spots the G-shaped symbol again on the back of the man's astronaut-like suit, and finally realizes what Dia's concern is. They have already agreed that the eerie organization which was after Lady Berlitz at Veilstone also bears the same emblem on their attires, and their strong connection to this man is probably what's putting Dia on alert.

However, Pearl believes that something is different about this man, and points out that since their encounter, he has not paid any attention to the Lady or rather, to any one of them. His sole focus was Garchomp while they were outside, and currently the wall paintings and nothing else. He rationalizes that although the man is more than likely a part of the eerie organization, he is in some special position with a completely different task at hand, and his only purpose at Celestic seems to be investigating the legend that the town holds.

Dia wonders if they should fight, and Pearl immediately calls him a fool for not seeing the obvious. He states reminds him of how the man faced Cynthia's powerful Garchomp with ease, the fact that he carries two Pokemon that not even the Pokedex recognizes, and most of all, how he nearly killed them at Mt. Coronet. These three reasons are good enough not to engage in a fight, which will definitely end up futile.

The boy then turns to Grandma, and apologizes for sounding bossy, but hopes that she could let them all ride on Garchomp, and has the mach Pokemon carry them off to the edges of Celestic. He remarks that their foe seems to be absorbed in his own thoughts at this moment, and an escape shouldn't be hard to pull off. At least, they must try to get Lady Berlitz away from this danger.

Grandma agrees that it is their best option right now, and gathers the trio and herself on Garchomp, while Pearl starts to count down from three. On one, Garchomp instantly propels itself forward to dash out from the ruins at sonic speed, and in the blink of an eye, brings everyone on a footbridge at the edge of the town.

Pearl wipes a sweat off his forehead and sighs in relief that they have made it, but then Grandma jumps in surprise, and cries that one of them is missing. Pearl and Lady Berlitz quickly look around, and bolt in horror when they see that Dia is not with them. Turning his gaze back to the ruins at the town center, Pearl's face whitens with fear when he rationalizes what the boy must have done.

Back inside the ruins cavern, Dia stands in front of Beh and Roo, and tries to steady himself as he prepares to confront Cyrus.

'Chala cha cha cha cha...~! Parapaparapara dandondadan~! Great land dashers~ Giant sky flyers~ Unite now~ Into Proteinman Omega~ Take down! Take down the demons~!!'

Giving himself confidence with his shaky singing, Dia manages to get the attention of Cyrus, and the man turns around to shoot him a cold look. Dia speaks with a trembling voice, and says it is the song of Proteinman Omega, his favourite robot animation. He states that they their group has been ambushed by an eerie organization at Veilstone, and those people strongly reminded him of the demonic fighters in the show, making him automatically regard them as the bad guys. He points out the fact that Cyrus's suit bears the same G-shaped emblem which the organization's people wear, and wants to know if the man is the boss of the organization.

Ready for a direct confrontation, Dia struggles to suppress his fear. Yet, to his surprise, Cyrus simply walks past him, and in the next instant, takes out a camera shaped like a spaceship to take snapshots of the wall paintings, its blinding light causing Dia, Beh and Roo to wince and cover up their eyes.

Cyrus then takes out a notebook and his quill pen, and begins to write down some theories he has worked out from reading the old literatures, that when knowledge expands, life will be enriched; when emotion sprouts, there will be sorrow and joy; when a determination is made, action will be taken. He muses that all of these sound truly interesting, and wonders if the frescoes depict a specific historical time frame. He decides to return to his air-car to have his machine make a more accurate approximation, and turns to leave.

However, Dia stands in his way, and says Cynthia's Grandma has told them that the frescoes not are supposed to be seen by anyone. He demands to know what Cyrus is planning to do with what he saw at the ruins, causing the man the shoot him another cold look of contempt. Without warning, Cyrus orders a Magnet Bomb, and Probopass unleashes a powerful pulse of energy to throw Dia, Beh and Roo upwards before hurling them out of the ruins.

At Celestic's town edge, Pearl, Lady Berlitz and Grandma gasps with horror when they hear the deafening blast and see Dia tossed out from the ruins entrance with his two Pokemon. The boy crashes hard against the ground as his cap falls off, and Pearl's face whitens with a look of despair as he stutters that the fool has really stayed behind. He firmly forbids Lady Berlitz to leave where she is before telling Grandma and Garchomp to take care of her, and starts to run back to the town center to save his companion.

Helping Dia up from the ground, Pearl frantically checks at his injuries, and Dia grins that he is alright because Roo has managed to use its Withdraw for defense right before the attack struck. He adds that Beh has also successfully snatched the camera from the man, and says they won't have to worry about the secrets of the frescoes being put to evil use.

Pearl, on the other hand, is less concerned about this, and angrily grabs Dia by the collar. He demands to know who told Dia to risk his life for such a stupid thing, and hollers that he has already ordered everyone to escape by gathering on Garchomp. He calls Dia a fool, and Dia, after a moment of silence, defends that he doesn't mind being a fool. Indeed, Pearl may believe that escaping is the right thing to do, but he has his own thoughts as well, and has simply chosen to do what he thinks is right.

Yanking Pearl's hand off his collar, Dia mutters that Pearl has always forced him to do things, and there is something he has wanted to tell him for a long time, that he, Dia, is not Pearl's minion. While Cyrus slowly walks out from the ruins with his Probopass and Magnezone, Pearl is stunned speechless at what Dia just said...
