Well, this thread aged poorly. I'm gonna start updating it again, starting with finishing the Day 3 post off. There's a little missing there because there were some more events during the Day 3 Night. I'll cover those before doing Day 4.
Continuation of Day 3
As everyone settled into comfortable rest, Sal, Natalia's Grimer decides to go foraging for food in the woods. A few hours later, Sal returns to the camp site and realises that a huge portion of the group's supplies are missing. He and Dexter's Gastly start waking everyone up, resulting in Dexter, Natalia and Rex running out into the woods to chase after the thieves. They eventually reach a trainer with a Lunapup who appears to be furious at the Lunapup for leading the group to him and promises to deal with it afterwards. Dexter, Natalia and Rex battle and defeat the thief in a battle, causing him to furiously release his Lunapup and lash a kick into its side. Rex and Dexter attack the thief, knocking him out in the process while Q and Spencer finally catch up to the group. Realising that the Lunapup needs medical attention, Dexter suggests to the group that they use the thief's car to drive to the nearby Pokemon Center so that they can call the officials to take him away and get the Lunapup patched up. Dexter drives everyone there and around an hour later, the thief and Lunapup are both dealt with, allowing everyone to finally get some rest for the night.
Day 4
Everyone wakes up late in the morning, exhausted from the previous night's ordeal. As everyone meets up to discuss their plans for the day, they see a policeman take the thief and the car away. A Kangaskhan and her baby give everyone some breakfast before an arrogant trainer challenges any one member of the group to a battle, promising an immense amount of money if they were to throw the battle. Q accepts the battle but very quickly defeats the trainer, causing him to lash out at Q angrily. Dexter threatens him and scares him off by revealing that the trainer's dad apparently works for Dexter in one of his companies. The trainer runs off, allowing Dexter to reveal that he has an extremely rich father who had gifted him shares to a number of companies as an 18th birthday gift but Dexter refuses to use any money he makes from them as a way to get back at his father for abandoning his family and causing his brother to run away some years prior.
Meanwhile, Rex and Natalia decide to train their Pokemon. The Lunapup from earlier appears to have taken to Natalia marvelously and agrees to join her team, allowing Natalia to name it "Buttercup". After watching Q's battle, Dexter and Spencer also decide to train their Pokemon.
As everyone is preparing to leave, Natalia points out that there may be some special items on sale in the PokeMart inside the Center. She turns out to be right, as Water Stones appear to be available for half-price. Rex buys one, and everyone sets off.
As everyone walks through the woods, they see several impressive sights including a herd of Donphan roll past them, a Samurott drinking out of a lake and even a shiny Luxray which sprints off the moment it sees the group. Eventually, the group takes note of a lone Drilbur who appears to be using Rapid Spin to knock berries off a tree. Impressed by the Drilbur's ingenuity, Rex invites it to join his team. It does so, and he decides to name it Newton. The group carries on, catching sight of a heated battle between an Escartress and an Oblivicorn.
Not long afterwards, the group finally reaches the ruins. An elderly archaeologist greets everyone and introduces himself as Doctor Archibald Morwen, the leading Archaelogist of the research team in the ruins. He appears to find everyone's fixation on the electronic dead zone amusing but offers to show everyone around the ruins as he finds the perspective of youth to be refreshing.
He explains that the settlement was once called Kelona and that the reason why his team found the ruins to be so intriguing (other than the deadzone which he just dismissed as being an electronic dead zone) was because many other scripts seemed to refer to Kelona being a fairly large city but the ruins appeared to be rather small. Most of the research conducted in the ruins is focused on a temple at the center of the dead zone that has several hundred square meters of walls covered in an unknown dialect of Unown script. He leads everyone further into the ruins and once they step over a demarcated red line, their Dex Phones shut down and their Poke Balls deactivate and let all of the group's Pokemon out. Once you reach the building, Dr Morwen explains that the writing on the walls appeas to be describing a group of trainers who were worshipped as gods due to their ability to befriend and tame immensely powerful Pokemon. One such Pokemon was vaguely described to be Avian and was said to summon the most violent thunderstorms and resided high in the mountains surrounding Mt Olsgard and another was apparently a Bug type Pokemon that was capable of summoning powerful sandstorms that buffetted the deserts of the large region to the south of Medinia known as Luxia.
As everyone continues looking around, some of the Pokemon start to get bored. Newton, Rex's Drilbur, examines the floor and appears to sense that something about it is not at as it seems, causing hik to try to get Rex's attention regarding it. Dexter's Gastly Licks Hecate, Q's Togepi and goads her into chasing after him. She throws herself at him and misses, colliding with the wall and causing one of the bricks to give way, much to Dr Morwen's horror. The entire room begins to shake, causing the floor to open to a staircase that leads deep into the ground. Dr Morwen's anguish quickly gives way to glee as he urges everyone to help him explore the ruins under the temple.
At first, Dr Morwen is disappointed with the cavern that the passage leads to but Dexter points out that there are more passageways leading out of the room. The cavern itself seems to be filled with luminescent crystals, causing Dr Morwen to look at them with intrigue. Before the group can do anything else, however, an Aerodactyl attacks them. Though it is difficult, they are able to defeat it. After it falls, Newton realises that the walls are metallic and only appear to be stone. He points this out, causing a small disagreement between Rex and Dr Morwen about what to do next but the argument ends quickly as everyone follows Newton through one of the passageways.
The passage leads to another cavern, but this one appears to be filled with a strange blue mist and has two enormous crystals in the middle. As the group approaches the crystals, the crystals begin to glow and pulse, pulling all of the mist to them and absorbing it. The crystals shatter once all of the mist is absorbed, revealing a Lairon and Cradily trapped inside. After another difficult battle, the group manages to defeat the two Pokemon and look around the room. Dr Morwen gathers some shards of the crystals so that he can get analysed before he starts theorising.
He explains that activating the secret passageway in the temple is what probably caused the mists to activate and free the crystallised Pokemon. He then examines the walls in the room, finding more glyphs and excitedly reading through them. He then explains that the writing appeared to be referring to an event which had taken place in the Galar region three thousand years ago. He realised that these events were referring to the surge of Dynamax energy in the Galar region and the subsequent defeat of the Pokemon that caused it before explaining that more recently, a young girl and her friend stopped the revival of this powerful Pokemon. He then suggested that the group could rest for a little while and ask him questions while their Pokemon recovered.
Natalia asked him about why none of these things were ever public knowledge and Dr Morwen revealed that the reason that so many things about Ancient Medinia were unknown because the region has historically been governed by very corrupt systems that made the prospect of working in the region very unappealing. In more recent years, a change in leadership of the Medinian region resulted in a flood of funding for academic causes, finally allowing people to do research on Ancient Medinia. Dr Morwen then began to theorise that the reason that a story about Galar was engraved here was because the Pokemon known as Eternatus likely arrived in Medinia first and made its way to Galar before being defeated there. That would explain the existence of Power Spots where you can Dynamax your Pokemon in Medinia. He then remarks that the encasing of the Pokemon in crystals was likely not a natural occurence and was rather a man-made one. He doesn't think that the Medinians were the ones who did so, however, as the Medinians weren't advanced enough to make something like that.
Once the group moves on, they come across more writing but this writing doesn't seem to be based off any form of Unown script, giving Dr Morwen no small amount of glee. They eventually arrive in an enormous cavern with yet another crystal. This one, however, appears to be seventy feet tall. The walls also appeared to change colour and now look more metallic than like stone. A pyramid sits in front of the crystal, but its cap stone appears to float above it. The metal seems to spread to the floor too and a strange pulsing energy, almost like circuitry, hums and glows towards the pyramid. Whilst examining the "circuitry", Dr Morwen remarks that he doubts that humans had built this as the technology necessary for it was well beyond anything of that time. Dexter then teases Spencer for not wanting to go to the ruins, resulting in Dr Morwen laughing and remarking that all ruins are worth visiting. Natalia's remarks about time travel likely not playing a part in these ruins causes Dr Morwen to inquire about her father as he would like to correspond with him but backs off once he sees that the topic is making Natalia uncomfortable.
Dexter then climbs up the pyramid to examine the capstone and shouts to everyone that the capstone appears to fit with the rest of the pyramid like a puzzle piece, prompting Dr Morwen to encourage him to connect the pieces. He does so, resulting in the enormous crystal shattering, revealing a supersized Pokemon, causing Dr Morwen to realise that the Pokemon is a Dynamaxed Doedino. The Pokemon is quadrupedal and appears to have a tough exterior with a short clubbed tail. Dr Morwen remarks that Doedino haven't been seen alive in thousands of years and shouts at the group to battle it in the hopes of forcing the Dynamax energy to dissipate. Much to everyone's surprise, the pyramid seemed to be the cause of the dead zone as Dr Morwen's radio suddenly begins working again. He calls for help while everyone prepares to battle the Doedino.
After a difficult battle, the Doedino is defeated, causing the Dynamax energy to dissipate. Dr Morwen then theorises that whoever built the place designed it to keep the Dynamax Energy contained. He then starts planning more research on the place as he remarks that he'll need more cryptographers, engineers and geologists to cover the new areas. Spencer decides to capture the Doedino while Natalia asks the old archaeologist to elaborate on the new discoveries. He then explains that the Dynamax particles (known as Galar particles) circulate between Pokemon. Once a Dynamaxed Pokemon is defeated, another Pokemon will be imbued with the particles. The crystals appeared to have "frozen" the Doedino in place and the particles along with it, stopping the circulation of said particles.
At this point, the rest of Dr Morwen's research crew files into the room and begin to set up their equipment in the room. A geologist named Nadine Kalani makes everyone's acquaintance before she and Dr Morwen catch up on the events of the evening and start planning out what to do. Eventually, the group finds a door at the back of the room that became visible once the Galar particles dissipated. Hecate uses Metronome near the door to try and break through to no avail. Realising it's late, Dr Morwen and Kalani both suggest that the group make their way back to the surface so that they can get some sleep. Many scientists appear to be awake despite the time and Dr Morwen invites the group to use any facilities there. Along the way, Dr Kalani offers everyone the option to take a shard of the crystal, remarking that it seems to be a variant of quartz. Q and Rex find some scientists to battle as they seem to still have some energy to burn off and after a loss and a win respectively, everyone decides to head to bed.
A/N: This was a very long and detailed day. If anyone's interested in seeing what the Midgardian Skorupi and Doedino look like, please say so and I will post some pictures.
