After Arceus left, Giratina finally breathed a sigh of relief. He should have expected Roy to be discovered by his older brother. Fortunately, the outcome was good.
"Roy, how did you manage to provoke him?"
Once Giratina was certain that Arceus had left, his voice rose. As long as Arceus wasn't around, he was the boss!
Roy told Giratina about discovering Space-Time Rift at the Ruins of Alph, and then traveling through the Space-Time Rift to the Sinjoh Ruins where he saw the statue of Arceus.
Ruins of Alph?
Giratina remembered sensing Arceus's presence in the Ruins of Alph before, and had Roy summon him from the seaside to avoid him.
Even with such caution, Arceus still managed to discover them.
By the way, when did you create this accessible Ruins, brother?
Unable to understand, Giratina stopped thinking about it and said to Roy:
"Alright, Roy, I should head back too."
He needs to go back and see how Arceus has repaired his Distortion World.
After saying that, Giratina tore open another Space-Time Rift and returned to its own Distortion World.
After Giratina left, Cynthia, who had been unconscious, started to move, and the other Pokémon that had been frozen also finally returned to normal.
Roy glanced at Mimikyu quickly nodded to indicate that she would definitely not say anything out of turn.
She had witnessed Arceus's power before, and she didn't want to be controlled by that invisible force again.
The other Pokémon also resumed their actions, but they continued what they hadn't finished, completely unaware that Arceus had just been there.
Cynthia opened her big eyes and looked at the familiar scene around her, still not knowing what was going on.
She only remembered that she suddenly went black and fainted for some unknown reason.
"Roy, I think I just suddenly passed out?"
Looking at Roy, who was standing in front of her with a concerned expression, Cynthia asked him what had just happened.
Arceus's words still echoed in Roy's ears. Roy immediately said that it was probably because the effects of traveling through the Space-Time Rift had impacted Cynthia's spirit, which was why she had fainted.
Cynthia looked at Roy with some suspicion. She felt something was strange but couldn't quite put her finger on it, but Roy shouldn't be lying to her.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Cynthia propped herself up and looked at the statue of Arceus in front of her. There really was a statue of a god here.
This statue of Arceus was likely built by the immigrants from Ancient Sinnoh.
After taking two photos of the statue with her Dedicated Camera, Cynthia clasped her hands together in front of her chest and sincerely bowed to the statue of Arceus.
She prayed in her heart that Arceus would protect her and Roy so they could leave the Sinjoh Ruins safely.
Cynthia was unaware that her wish had already been fulfilled by Roy; as long as Roy didn't want to die, he simply couldn't die.
Even if someone were to court death Arceus could still be pulled out of the Spirit World by Roy. After all, Roy's current amplification of Arceus is arguably the second half of Ghost Slate that can be used as an external cheat.
As Cynthia prayed before the statue of Arceus, Roy glanced at the two exquisitely damaged Luxury Ball.
Currently, the two top combatants in the entire Pokémon World reside within two Poké Balls.
If anyone he can't beat provokes him in the future, he'll throw those two Poké Balls out.
After Cynthia finished her prayers, the two explored the Ruins again, meticulously recording everything within the Sinjoh Ruins.
After discovering that there was nothing else in the Ruins, Cynthia wanted to leave the Sinjoh Ruins and tell her grandmother about Sinjoh Ruins.
However, because the Space-Time Rift had closed and the snow wall was impenetrable, they were trapped here and died.
Roy, meanwhile, stared at the four snow walls, pondering how to escape the Sinjoh Ruins.
In mid-air, Dragapult had just regained his mobility, saw something and quickly swooped down to Roy's side.
"Doryu!"
Dragapult stated that a gap has appeared in a place that previously had many small holes, allowing two people to pass through.
Gap?
Roy is undoubtedly the exit left by Arceus when he left.
"Cynthia, let's get out through the snow wall above."
"Huh? Didn't you only have a few small holes on it just now?"
Cynthia couldn't understand Dragapult's words, so of course she didn't know what Dragapult was talking about.
Roy said that Dragapult had just found another one on the snow wall.
Seeing Roy say this, Cynthia quickly recalled her Pokémon, and together with Roy, who had already let Chandelure enter his body, Roy rode back on Dragapult's back.
Dragapult carried the two of them up the snow wall and, sure enough, saw a gap that could allow two people to pass through.
Without any hesitation, Dragapult rushed straight out of the snow wall from the exit.
They were greeted by a vast expanse of white, shimmering Snowscape, followed by a biting gust of wind and blizzard that whipped their faces, instantly invigorating them.
Looking at the Snowscape outside, Cynthia couldn't help but marvel that there were regions outside their Sinnoh Region with such vast Snowfields.
Although the two had left the Sinjoh Ruins, the Communicator still had no signal, and the locator seemed to be frozen and unresponsive.
The two only knew that they were currently in the Snowfield of the north, but they did not know their exact location.
Just as the two were about to leave, the huge snow wall behind them suddenly disappeared, and the entire Sinjoh Ruins vanished as well, as if they had never existed at all.
Cynthia stared in shock at the vanished Ruins behind her.
Unwilling to give up, she rubbed her eyes and looked up again. The once towering snow wall had been replaced by a vast white Snowfield.
Only the photos from her camera can prove that the Sinjoh Ruins truly existed.
Seeing that Cynthia was a little disappointed, Roy comforted her and told her to think positively. At least they didn't disappear with the Ruins, and they could still share clues about the Ruins with others.
After hearing Roy's words of comfort, Cynthia felt a little better.
But now a new problem has arisen for the two of them.
Roy roughly knew that this was the northernmost Snowfield region of the Johto, but how to get back was another matter entirely.
The surrounding white Snowfield had no landmarks whatsoever.
The Compass in his Camping Gear was somehow interfered with, constantly spinning inside the transparent disc, making it impossible to determine north or south.
Having no other choice, Roy could only urge Dragapult to fly in one direction through the snow and ice.
But the flight was far more complicated than the two had imagined.
Without the protection of the surrounding snow walls, the biting cold wind rushed straight to Roy and Cynthia's faces, making Cynthia shiver.
Looking at Cynthia shivering in his arms, Roy adjusted his position, letting Cynthia sit behind him, using his body to shield her from the wind and snow.
