Relic Castle: Difference between revisions

'''Relic Castle''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|古代の城|こだいのしろ}}''' ''Ancient Castle'') is a large castle and the ruins of an ancient city that is over 2,500 years old, located in the middle of [[Desert Resort]]. It is made up of several floors and a maze. A {{p|Volcarona}} appears at the end of the maze, and can be caught after the player has defeated [[Ghetsis]] and [[Team Plasma]] at [[N's Castle]] in Black and White, or after obtaining the {{badge|Quake}}, via entrance from the [[Relic Passage]], in Black 2 and White 2.

The Relic Castle, although accessible early in the game, cannot be fully explored until after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Five floors deep, only the first and second floors can initially be entered: a {{tc|Worker}} explains that the lower floors are covered in sand and are impassable until he has cleaned up a bit.

During Team Plasma's hunt for the Light and Dark Stones, {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s can be found. [[Alder]] and [[Ghetsis]] are there as well.

After completing the game, a new entrance will open up on the bottom floor of the maze. The player will enter a complex maze and chase a Team Plasma Grunt, who must be fought to continue through the maze. After defeating the Grunt, he will explain that he was lookout for a sage who was experimenting. The player can find one of the [[Seven Sages]], [[Ryoku]], towards the southern part of the maze. He explains that he wants the Pokémon that lives in Relic Castle to impress Ghetsis. After he is taken away by [[Looker]], the player can continue to the shrine of {{p|Volcarona}} and battle it. After continuing west through the maze, the player can travel up some stairs to the other exit of Relic Castle, where {{TM|26|Earthquake}} is found.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, much of the Relic Castle has become filled with sand and is inaccessible, leaving only the first two floors (which are still accessible via the [[Desert Resort]]), and a portion of the lowest floor—including Volcarona's room—which is accessible via the [[Relic Passage]].

===In the main series===

The Relic Castle was set to play a major role in the original {{OBP|BW023|unaired}} and {{OBP|BW024|unaired}} as the location where [[Team Rocket]] discovered the [[Meteonite]], but the episodes have since been [[banned episodes|postponed indefinitely]], and retconned out of continuity when ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' aired.

===In Pokémon Generations===

Relic Castle appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where both {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Red's Pikachu|his Pikachu}} were seen entering the castle. Inside the castle, Pikachu accidentally stepped into a sand pit, causing it to fall down into {{p|Volcarona}}'s room. Pikachu battled Volcarona and managed to defeat it, but was then attacked by a suddenly appearing {{p|Landorus}}.
