According to legend, the other dragon sleeps inside a stone. Alder, Cheren and you set off to find it where it should be: deep inside Relic Castle, now freed from the sand. But Team Plasma is already there.

⏳The descent

Fly to Castelia City or Nimbasa City, then head to Desert Resort. The lower floors of the castle are now accessible. Let the quicksand pull you down: it carries you from floor to floor. On every level, Team Plasma Grunts block your path with their Krokorok, Watchog, Scraggy and Trubbish, around level 35.

The basement floors are home to two Pokémon you won’t meet anywhere else at this point in the adventure:

  • YamaskGhost

    Yamask, a Ghost mask, on the ground floor and the first basement. Its Mummy Ability passes itself on to the Pokémon that touch it.

  • CofagrigusGhost

    Cofagrigus, its evolution, directly in basements 2 to 5.

🎭Ghetsis in the depths of the ruins

On the lowest level, Ghetsis is waiting for you. He mocks you: the Stone isn’t here, and you came all this way for nothing. Then he slips away.

💎The museum’s Stone

The Stone had actually been sitting in the Nacrene Museum all along. Fly there: Lenora hands it over.

Noire

In Black, you receive the Light Stone, which holds Reshiram, the dragon of Truth.

Blanche

In White, you receive the Dark Stone, which holds Zekrom, the dragon of Ideals.

The Stone will only awaken at the moment of the final confrontation with N. From now on, the two Grunts who were blocking the Tubeline Bridge have left their post: the road east is open.

Next step: Route 8, the Moor of Icirrus and Route 9.
