Appendix:Pokémon Crystal Walkthrough/Part 4

Route 36

On Thursday, you can find Arthur of Thursday, one of the Week Siblings. He will give you a Hard Stone, which raises the power of Rock-type moves.

You cannot go left due to there being a weird tree in the way. Instead, go south to the Ruins of Alph.

Head into the top cave and you'll have to solve a quick puzzle.

Kabuto Puzzle

After you do, you'll drop down into the main part of the ruins.

If you catch three different forms of Unown, you can head outside and you'll meet up with a Scientist will take you to their building and will upgrade your Pokédex with the "Unown Mode." You will be able to view the Unown forms you've viewed in order of being caught.

Go back to the ruins and you can read the back of the wall. In Unown forms, it says "Escape." Use an Escape Rope; head back inside and something will rumble. Head to the back and there will now be a hole in the wall. Go through it and you'll be able to collect four items: a Berry, a PSNCureBerry, an EnergyPowder, and a Heal Powder. Head down the hole in the ground and you'll see the floor has a message written on it in Unown symbols: Our words shall remain here for the ages.

Unfortunately, you can't get into the other three chambers until you obtain HM03 (Surf) and HM04 (Strength). You can come back whenever you want. The rest of the Ruins of Alph walkthrough will be taken care of later. For now, head west through the gate to get to Route 32.
