1500 years before modern times, the place now known as the Ruins of Alph was built in Johto, and the earliest known system for writing—the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}—was developed. Although no one knows exactly who built the Ruins of Alph, research indicates that the people in question were an ancient civilization that wished to co-exist with the enigmatic {{p|Unown}} that bear great similarity to the alphabet letters. Not only did that tribe impart messages on the ruins' walls describing the Unown, but they also erected a Pokémon statue for an unknown reason. | |||

At some point later, outsiders began to gather near the ruins. As the Unown were timid creatures, they rejected contact with anyone but the clan that protected them. To ensure the Unown's well being, the Ruins of Alph's inhabitants decided to leave the region, but not without devising complicated puzzles so that one day the Unown could be summoned again. As for the clan, their quest led them to a mountain far to the north, where they met another group of people who had hailed from the [[Spear Pillar]]. Together, the two groups built a temple in honor of {{p|Arceus}}, which incorporated elements from both the Ruins of Alph and the Spear Pillar; this collaboration probably has to do with the underlying relationship between Arceus and the Unown. The temple, too, has since been left in ruins and its lowest floor is now known as the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]; however, the ritual of honoring [[legendary Pokémon]] through dance circulated back to Johto, specifically to [[Ecruteak City]]. | At some point later, outsiders began to gather near the ruins.

Around these times other, smaller events occurred. 500 years before modern days, the Cianwood City Pharmacy, the world's oldest pharmacy, was built. Around 400 years ago, [[Azalea Town]] in Johto was struck by a long-term drought wave; after bringing the rain back once again by {{m|yawn}}ing, {{p|Slowpoke}} gained an honorable position in that town. | Around these times other, smaller events occurred. 500 years before modern days, the Cianwood City Pharmacy, the world's oldest pharmacy, was built.

In contemporary history, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]].

But Ethan/Kris/Lyra's most notable effect on Johto lies in their ability to encounter all three of the [[legendary beasts]], as well as summon the Unown, Lugia and Ho-Oh after their long absence.
