I've been training as anAura Guardian with Lucario.
DAWN: But why isLucario acting that way?

is coming from the Ruins
too powerful for Lucarioto protect itself against!

exactly as planned.
In addition, we're detectinga powerful energy source
coming directlyfrom Mount Coronet,
much like the onefrom Iron Island.

is located somewherewithin this zone of energy.
We are now pinpointingits precise location.
CYRUS: Maintain currentbeam energy levels.

DAWN: Great to see you!
CAROLINA: So, that's it?
ASH: Yup!
CAROLINA: The Iron Ruins.They really exist!
CAROLINA: Fascinating.
CAROLINA: This machine is madefrom the exact same compound
as the meteorsfrom Veilstone City!
ASH: Veilstone City?
DAWN:Does that mean they made it
from the meteors theystole out of the park?
CAROLINA: Almost certainly!
CAROLINA:It's been said that Iron Island
was originally anancient meteor! Long ago.
RILEY: Meteor Island.
Does that mean the Iron Ruinswere created from a meteor too?
CAROLINA: I'd say so!
CAROLINA:Both the Iron Island Ruins
and this machine aregiving off a special frequency.
CAROLINA: These two frequenciesmust have resonated,
creating a soundwave causingthe Steel types to go crazy!
ASH: That's it!
RILEY: Okay!
So you're saying theentire island is made up of
the same compound asthe Veilstone City meteors?
CAROLINA: Yes, that's right.
CAROLINA: Most likelyTeam Galactic was able to
pinpoint the locationof the Iron Ruins
by using thismachine as a radar.
CAROLINA: Not only that.
CAROLINA:But it is also rumored to reveal
the location of Spear Pillar,
which is necessary tosummon Dialga and Palkia
into this world.
ASH: Spear Pillar, Carolina?
CAROLINA: Supposedly,
it's located somewherein the Sinnoh region
CAROLINA:The name's Riley, isn't it?
I hear you've been onthe island for a while.
Would you be able to give us a
little assistance whilewe survey the nearby areas?
RILEY: Sure!
I'm always interested inlearning more about this island!
BARRY: Man! Sounds likeyou guys got caught up in
something pretty complicated!
