The '''Sinjoh Ruins''' (Japanese: '''シントいせき''' ''Shinto Ruins'') are a location in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} that are not part of any known region. Their major feature is the '''Mystri Stage''' (Japanese: '''みつぶたい''' ''Mystri Stage''), a triangular stage inside the ruined temple.

The only way to access the Sinjoh Ruins is by bringing an {{p|Arceus}} from an {{pkmn2|event|event distribution}} 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. (However, due to the [[Azure Flute]] never being officially released, it is not possible to legitimately obtain an Arceus from the Hall of Origin.)

The Sinjoh Ruins are outside the range of the map, and therefore are not part of the [[Ruins of Alph]], or the [[region]]s of [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. It is unknown where exactly they are in relation to [[Sinnoh]] and [[Mt. Coronet]]; the only hint to their location is the [[Pokégear]]'s map of Johto pointing north of the [[Ice Path]] and northeast of the [[Lake of Rage]]. They can be visited by way of a mysterious entry point in the Ruins of Alph created by the {{p|Unown}} and {{p|Arceus}}.

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


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===
The only way to access the Sinjoh Ruins is by bringing an {{p|Arceus}} from an {{pkmn2|event|event distribution}} 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.

The event is triggered when the player tries to enter the [[Ruins of Alph|Ruins Research Center]] at the Ruins of Alph with Arceus as their walking Pokémon. The lead archaeologist bumps into the player on his way out 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 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.

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.


The player and Arceus are teleported to the inside of the Sinjoh Ruins. Upon stepping outside, a {{tc|Hiker}} notices the player and comments that it is strange for someone so young to be interested in the ruins. He then talks about how the ruins show a blend of the cultures of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]]. The Hiker then invites the player to talk inside the cabin rather than in the snow and walks off towards the cabin.

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 {{pkmn|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.

Suddenly, the player is then teleported back to the Ruins of Alph, where the lead archaeologist is shocked to see the player after disappearing right in front of him. The lead archaeologist then concludes that the combined power of Arceus and the Unown teleported the player to the Sinjoh Ruins. He then ponders how Arceus, Unown, and the Ruins of Alph are connected.

Later, after the player visited the Sinjoh Ruins with an event Arceus, he or she can take the Arceus from the [[Hall of Origin]] to one of the ruins in the Ruins of Alph and be transported back to the Sinjoh Ruins. During this second trip, Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the player can go to the Mystri Stage to obtain one of the dragons he or she had not previously obtained.
Later, after the player has visited the Sinjoh Ruins with either an event Arceus or an Arceus caught in the Hall of Origin, they may take the other Arceus to the Ruins of Alph and be transported back to the Sinjoh Ruins. During this second trip, Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the player can go to the Mystri Stage to obtain one of the dragons they had not previously obtained. The event may only be activated twice, by using one of each type of Arceus.

The Sinjoh Ruins first made an appearance in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} where an enraged {{p|Arceus}} transported {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, [[Archer]], [[Ariana]], [[Proton]], and [[Petrel]] to the entrance. This allows Archer's plan to use the powers of Arceus and the Mystri Stage to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to come to fruition.
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Sinjoh Ruins first appeared in ''[[PS454|All About Arceus III]]'', where {{p|Arceus}} transported {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, [[Archer]], [[Ariana]], [[Proton]], and [[Petrel]] to it. The four {{tc|Executive}}s then forced Arceus onto the Mystri Stage, where Archer used the sixteen [[Plate]]s gathered by Silver to control Arceus and force it to recreate {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. However, everybody were taken aback by the sudden arrival of {{adv|Giovanni}}, [[Lance]], and [[Pryce]], who engaged in a battle against the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Pryce revealed that while he had been floating inside the crack of time, where he had been left at the end of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, he had foreseen the destruction that the battle of these three Pokémon would cause. Because the Sinjoh Ruins existed in a {{wp|Pocket universe|pocket dimension}} connecting [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]], its destruction would also destroy Johto and Sinnoh along with it. After Gold had opened up to [[Togebo]], Arceus stepped in and stopped the battle, sending Giratina back to the [[Distortion World]] and Dialga and Palkia back to the [[Spear Pillar]], as well as returning everybody back to their starting point at the Ruins of Alph.

==Trivia==
* Choosing {{p|Giratina}} here is the only legitimate way to get a {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}} (and therefore Giratina in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Giratina|Origin Forme}}) in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} since the [[item]] cannot be [[Held item|held]] by {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} being [[trade]]d in [[Generation IV]].


It is later revealed that the Sinjoh Ruins exist in a pocket dimension that links [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]] together.

==Name origin==
==Name origin==
The Japanese name is a portmanteau of '''シン'''オウ '''''Shin''''ō'' ([[Sinnoh]]) and ジョウ'''ト''' ''Jō'''to''''' ([[Johto]]), as it is a place where the architecture and legends of both regions meet. The English name reflects this, though using the beginning of '''''Joh'''to'' rather than the end. The combination of the names of two [[region]]s alludes to the [[Tohjo Falls]].
