(みつ here obviously means both "three" (三) and "mystery", "mysterious", "secrecy", "secret" (密). Hence the English name "Mystri Stage", as in "Mysterious Triad Stage" or something similar.)

The background music in this area is a combination of various parts of テンガンざん ''[[Nintendo DS Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Super Music Collection|Mt. Coronet]]'', the やぶれたせかい ''[[Nintendo DS Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 Super Music Complete|Distortion World]]'' from {{game|Platinum}}, {{tt|戦闘|せんとう}}! ディアルガ・パルキア ''[[Nintendo DS Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Super Music Collection|Battle! Dialga & Palkia]]'', {{tt|戦闘|せんとう}}! ギラティナ ''[[Nintendo DS Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 Super Music Complete|Battle! Giratina]]'', and the music played by the [[Azure Flute]].

The creation event that takes place here includes real-life pictures in-game. This is the first time this has happened in ''any'' [[Pokémon]] [[canon]].


Like Mt. Coronet, {{m|Fly}} cannot be used to leave the Sinjoh Ruins, though an elderly man with an {{p|Abra}} who is staying in the cabin offers to {{m|teleport}} the {{player}} [[New Bark Town|home]], much like the old man and his Abra at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Generation II]]. If the player chooses to do this before talking to [[Cynthia]] and then returns to the Ruins of Alph, all the events will be repeated as if nothing had happened (including the {{tc|Hiker}} receiving the player at the entrance).

==Arceus event==
==Arceus event==
The only way to access the Sinjoh Ruins is by bringing an {{p|Arceus}} from a {{pkmn2|event|Nintendo event}} or the [[Hall of Origin]] to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. The event is triggered by having Arceus as {{player}}'s [[walking Pokémon]] and entering the Ruins of Alph.

Once triggered, the lead archaeologist bumps into the player while leaving the [[Ruins of Alph|Ruins Research Center]] and is surprised that the player has an Arceus. He then asks the player to come with him into the ruins to investigate a mystery. The scene then cuts and the player, the lead archaeologist, and Arceus have just entered B1F of the Ruins of Alph. The lead archaeologist comments that something feels different this time to all the other times he has been in the ruins, and that he feels like the pictures on the walls are staring at him. The screen fades to black.

Inside this cabin, [[Cynthia]] is sitting at a table, and tells the player how the Sinjoh Ruins remind her of Sinnoh. She also mentions that the people of Sinnoh migrated here and built a temple that reminded them of Sinnoh. She mentions that she feels a "strong power" coming from the player's [[Poké Ball]] and believes it to be one of the [[creation trio]]. Cynthia then exits the cabin and walks to the ruined temple.

Cynthia stands in front of the Mystri Stage, and will only allow the player to pass if the only Pokémon in the [[party]] is a single Arceus; if the player has other Pokémon, she recommends that they use the [[PC]] in the cabin to deposit them in the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. When the player has only a single Arceus in the party, Cynthia explains which circle represents which member of the creation trio, and that the central circle represents Arceus. She then tells the player to choose one of these three legendary Pokémon. Upon choosing a Pokémon, Arceus moves to its circle in the center and is surrounded by {{p|Unown}}. Several images of outer space appear, followed by an image of Arceus's head. Then a montage of real-world images appears on the screen behind an image of Arceus's overworld sprite standing on the Mystri Stage (with only the design of the stage showing by illuminating the lines). This then cuts an image of Arceus's head, followed by a photo of the {{wp|Earth}}. Then the Mystri Stage's design appears, and an [[Egg]] appears on top of it. A crack appears in the Egg. The screen fades to black.

The screen then fades back into the overworld, and a mysterious round object, colored depending on the chosen {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, is levitating above Arceus's head. This round object then swirls around and goes next to the player. The round object takes the shape of the chosen Pokémon, and the player obtains it. This Pokémon will be either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at [[level]] 1, equipped with its {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Timespace orbs|respective orb}}. Once the process is complete, Cynthia approaches the player and discusses the significance of what just happened.
