The '''Black Hero's ruins''' (written as 黒き英雄の遺跡) are an anime-exclusive location in the [[Unova]] region. They appear to be located somewhere near [[Chargestone Cave]].

{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} were taken to see them in [[BW064]] by [[Cedric Juniper]]. In the past, the ruins had been where the Black Hero of Unova myth communicated with {{p|Zekrom}}, and Cedric was studying this history.

Deeper in the ruins, the path split into three tunnels, themed after {{p|Golett}}, {{p|Krokorok}} and {{p|Darumaka}}. The Darumaka path led to a trap of fire that required Cilan's {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}'s {{m|Scald}} to escape, while the Krokorok path was a dead-end where the walls began closing in until Iris's {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} held them open.

At the end of the Golett path was a room with several identical coffins inside of it, and beyond that, a large, circular chamber with a ring of crystalline pillars in its center. Hidden by the pillars was the resting place of the "Gold Plated Dark Stone," the mystical item that the Black Hero used to summon Zekrom. Ash nearly took the stone, but Cedric stopped him with a warning of what trap it might activate. Right thereafter, a wild {{p|Sigilyph}} appeared and viciously attacked the group, forcing them to flee back to the room with the coffins. Finding the coffins damaged and open, Cedric suggested they hide inside, and this tactic worked to confuse and ultimately get rid of Sigilyph.

However, another hidden trap awaited - inside one of the coffins was a hiding {{p|Cofagrigus}}, which immediately attacked as well. After rescuing Iris from its clutches, the group fled to another chamber, only to find more coffins and several more Cofagrigus. While fleeing from the Cofagrigus, the group was again attacked by Sigilyph, at which point Cedric admitted he'd taken the Gold Plated Dark Stone anyway.

In a sub-level of the ruins filled with water, Cedric used the Gold Plated Dark Stone to reveal inscriptions telling more of the legend of the Black Hero and Zekrom. This led to the discovery of a tunnel back to the room where the Gold Plated Dark Stone was originally, but even though Cedric returned it to its place, Sigilyph and one of the Cofagrigus attacked again anyway, throwing the group high into the sky. While falling, Cedric reminded the others of how the meaning of the ruins was that they were where the friendship between the Black Hero and Zekrom came true, leading Ash and Iris to recall many of their adventures in Unova. This satisfied Sigilyph and Cofagrigus enough to save the four from falling, and the two Pokémon departed peacefully.

==Trivia==
* The Black Hero's ruins are similar in purpose and appearance to the [[Relic Castle]]; both are the buried ruins of temples riddled with traps that serve to protect one of the stones related to Zekrom or {{p|Reshiram}}. In addition, wild Cofagrigus can be found in both, while Sigilyph appears just outside the Relic Castle, in the [[Desert Resort]], in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
