 * Octillery: Oh, man. Why'd we even come to these ruins... I'm getting tired looking at all these ancient things... It's not like we'll find any legendary Pokémon here.
 * Floatzel: ...I think we're on the right track. The aura is getting much stronger here. I can feel it running through my fins.
 * Floatzel: ...We must be getting close to finding the legendary Pokémon who is said to lurk in these ancient ruins...
