What a spooky, eerie, mysterious place!

One of the houses isn't actually a house. When you walk in it, it won't take you anywhere, so just walk out the east side of it and you'll see it's just covered. Walk through that then through the one nearby to reach the building with a real door in it.

Inside, you'll find a small room with a lady in it that tells you some stuff. It's basically just a puzzle that you need to solve.

You need to use your touch screen on your DS to drag these pieces onto the puzzle to make it look like a Kabuto. It's changed a bit from the old days of Gold and Silver; now you have to rotate the pieces as well! To move them into place, just drag them over (hold down the stylus and move it into position). To rotate a piece, just tap it when it's in place and it'll spin.

The first puzzle shouldn't be too difficult. Just remember to spin and look at the thing! You should be able to determine if it doesn't look right.

After you've solved it, the floor will give up beneath your feet, causing you to fall down into the depths of the ruins! Down there will be another unfortunate soul who passed the test, thinking he'd win a brand new car, only to be sent down there to his doom. Wait, what?! Well he's down there nonetheless. And because he's a cool guy, he gives you the Unown Notes, which is a Key Item that contains notes on... the Unown. Then he just leaves like it never even happened.

Ruins of Alph (Basement) Enc. Rate: 15
Wild Pokemon		Type(s)	Level(s)	Morn.	Day	Night
	Unown		Lv. 5 EXP: 43	100%	100%	100%

Now you'll fight Unown down here. They're at level 5 and you'll find a few different letter variants of them. They're pretty useless in combat, though, but you may want to catch a few of them to get closer to unraveling this puzzle.

Eh, might as well make your way on to Route 32 now. Now that you can actually proceed that is.
