hopeslastreward[Music -- if it can even be called that -- comes through your PokéGear's speakers when you play this video. The image on the screen is of a grimy stone floor; after looking at it for a few seconds, one might eventually make out a series of runes, carved into the floor itself. For any English-reading characters in the audience, a little bit of hunkering down and focusing should make the runes start to look like a certain word:]
Light.
[WE NEED SOME LIGHT, FIRST OF ALL WE NEED SOME-- no okay not singing showtunes here.]
I've been through one of these chambers already, and that had a word on the floor as well. It took longer than I would have expected to figure out... but here I am. [Seriously, though. English isn't his first language, but for some reason it required a lot of focus to even decode the word "ESCAPE".] I won't tell you what the solution to that puzzle was; once you understand the cipher, though, this 'light' should be easy enough as well.
Oh-- and there's one other thing worth noting. [The Gear's camera moves up to show another tangle of Unown runes. Komaeda's been puzzling over this, too, for a good long time, but he's revealing the translation for the sake of the broadcast.] This passage here references an unidentified 'we' "erecting a Pokémon statue outside"... there are plenty of statues in these ruins, but all of them are within some chamber or another. One could easily assume that the 'we' in question created this statue, but it still lies buried... or it is hidden in some other manner. Perhaps some kind of criterion has to be filled before the statue will appear?
Ah. Incidentally [and by this he means 'not incidentally at all'], I understand that some people have gotten the opportunity to speak to people native to the region of Kalos -- which bears a striking resemblance to a country I know called 'France'. There are goodie bags presently being given out in at least one Pokémon Center that are supposedly from Kalos, which contain -- among other things -- a couple of French baked goods known as macarons. It makes one wonder exactly how many things from this world have been lifted from others. Has anyone noticed other similarities?
...Mmm, I probably should have said this at the beginning, but please feel free to disregard this message, if you haven't done so already. It's just some worthless babbling. [He laughs.] Well, in any case, good night.
Light.
