Cryptic Chasm

Cryptic Chasm, referred to by players as CCh, is a dungeon in far eastern Tanren, located just past Tanren Desert. Rock Climb is required to reach this dungeon. On Floor 51, the player's party and team will be reset to level 1 (present moves are kept), but experience can be gained in order to prepare for the boss fight at the end. This dungeon boasts a large number of Poison-, Psychic-, and Ground-type Pokémon.

Attributes

 * }

Before the last floors where the player's team is reset level 1 there is a room where you need the Engraved Tablet from Cliffside Relic in order to unlock either of the doors. There are two Escape Orbs if the player forgets to bring it and does not have an Orb of their own already.

Boss
The boss at the end is Mewtwo. Before the battle, Mewtwo appears, and he says that the chasm was disturbed by the player. After explaining some things, he challenges the player. After his defeat, he then explains some more things to the player, and then erases the player's memories of Mewtwo. Mewtwo then bids the player farewell.

Boss drop:
 * Golden Mask
 * Bright Powder
 * Big Mushroom
 * Mewtwo's Heart Slate

Dialogue:

+Before fighting
 * ???: Who dares to disturb me? Reveal yourself!
 * Mewtwo: How... How did you manage to get here? More importantly, what purpose do you have here?
 * Mewtwo: Why must you interfere with my peace in this chasm where I seek refuge from the futility of Pokemon and all other creation alike?
 * Mewtwo: Do you know what it is like to be an unoriginal work of scene? A gene splicing experiment? A clone of another? I wish you could understand, but I am certain that you will never be able to comprehend this feeling.
 * Mewtwo: After all, I was created to be a fighting machine, and you will most certainly regret coming here. I wish I could feel sorry for you but I was not created to express such emotions.
 * Mewtwo: Can't see it, can you? This void in my being. This lack of purpose in my existence.
 * Mewtwo: But for some reason, even with all my emptiness, this chasm is the only place where I can seek refuge from the many problems that lay outside it. The only place where I feel truly at... home.
 * Mewtwo: Then why must you interrupt me like this?
 * Mewtwo: You see, this chasm... there is a reason why it is shrouded in mystery. Some secrets are not meant to be revealed.
 * Mewtwo: Nobody was supposed to come here. And all those who have met with a terrible fate.
 * Mewtwo: And I am afraid it will be no different for you. I do not want to fight you but by coming here you leave me no choice.
 * Mewtwo: Since were were never meant to meet, I fear I must...
 * Mewtwo: I must erase you from existence.
 * Mewtwo: Maybe then, you will be able to experience what I feel. Deepest apologies, traveller, but I will not allow you to go any further.
 * Mewtwo: Brace yourself, for this is your end!
 * Mewtwo: Brace yourself, for this is your end!

+After defeating
 * Mewtwo: How could someone such as yourself put up such a fight against me?
 * Mewtwo: What does a simple being such as yourself possess that I do not? Is it perhaps the ability to be motivated by emotions, or the determination to proceed?
 * Mewtwo: A 'venture of science' such as myself may not be aware of such complexity...
 * Mewtwo: I see now that the circumstances of birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.
 * Mewtwo: But do not mistake this for my defeat. That is impossible. I am merely weakened by your power, and fighting you any longer will only further threaten the harmony in the chasm.
 * Mewtwo: However. When you leave this place, I shall erase all our memories of ever having met. I feel it is better that way, do you not agree?
 * [Player Name]: ...!
 * Mewtwo: Then I must make my leave, stranger. Yes. Stranger. For that is all you will ever be if we ever meet again. Farewell.

Azure Relic
The fake ending of Cryptic Chasm, Azure Relic, is reached when the player does not take stairs behind the locked door on Floor 30 of the dungeon, instead taking the normal stairs. There are 6 different slates that say the following:
 * 1) If this is where you ended then you took a false path.
 * 2) Below the center of obscurity lies the key.
 * 3) If you are unknown of origin, then that is all you need to know.
 * 4) By dawn, you must swim the seas. But by dusk, you must walk on land.
 * 5) An odd past awaits you.
 * 6) Ahead lies a creature of unimaginable power.

There's a single Deluxe Box in the room.

Box items:
 * Psyche Dust
 * Shady Dust
 * Steel Dust

Dungeon Objective
The main objective is completion. Though, some rare recruits are here. Revives, Reviver Seeds, and decent TMs spawn frequently. The boss, Mewtwo, has a rare chance of dropping a Golden Mask or its Heart Slate. The Gold Silk for Psychic-types can only be obtained from here.

Restrictions

 * 1) The level of your team will be set to 1 when entering Floor 51.

Rules

 * On Floors 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25, pick up the stones that spell O-R-I-G-I-N respectively.
 * You must have an Enigmatic Key to open the door on Floor 30
 * There is a maze after Floor 15. On the bottom right of the maze is the entrance to the Obscure Area. You must have a Pokémon knowing the move Dig to dig into the underground room and obtain this key.
 * After Floor 30 if the correct stairs are entered, there is a puzzle with a door at the end of it that requires the Unown stones. The puzzle room is instanced, meaning you can't see party members, so when running with a party make sure everyone picks up the stones as multiple will spawn when with other people.
 * A Water- (Dawn/Day) or Ground-type (Dusk/Night) Pokémon is needed to enter the exit at end of the puzzle after Floor 40.
 * Have an Engraved Tablet in your bag to open the final locked doors after Floor 50.

Tips

 * If you want to complete the entire dungeon, do not enter the regular stairs on Floor 30. There's a sealed door that can be unlocked on Floor 30 with an Enigmatic Key.
 * Have a dual Water/Ground-type Pokémon such as Barboach or Wooper for the Cryptic Crossing if you're not sure you'll make it to the end before the time changes. You can also use the move Mud Sport or Water Sport to change your type.
 * Bring a Mobile Scarf/Ghost-type since there may be Nuggets, Diamonds, and other valuables in walls.
 * A good level range for Mewtwo would be 19-22.
 * A Pokémon with the move Punishment will help greatly on the boss.

Trivia

 * The Floor 40 Puzzle used to have timed doors and switches like the first puzzle, but has been changed to be similar to Wallace's gym.
 * Some lines spoken by Mewtwo are references to Pokémon movies Mewtwo Strikes Back and Mewtwo Returns.
