Journey to the Unown! (Japanese: ズイの遺跡のアンノーン！ Unknown of the Zui Ruins!) is the 60th episode of Diamond & Pearl series, and the 526th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on December 20, 2007 along with Team Shocker!, and in the United States on June 7, 2008.
Synopsis
Template:Incomplete synopsis Dawn and Aipom are training for the Solaceon contest. During the training, they use Focus Punch in fast succession to make it look like Aipom has two tails. Brock tells her that is actually Double Hit and Aipom is close to evolving after that move. Kenny appears and tells her it is Ambipom. He was a bit surprised that she didn't know what Aipom's evolved form was and calls her DeeDee. Ash asks why he calls her that, but Dawn insists him not to go there. Ash decided to finish their battle in Floaroma Town, but Kenny declines, saying he was going to see Dialga and Palkia.
Meanwhile, at the Solaceon Ruins, Saturn and the two grunts enter the ruins for unknown purposes. Team Rocket notices them and remembers their first encounter with them. Saturn sends out his Bronzor to use Flash to guide them through the ruins. Team Rocket, convinced there is treasure inside, decides to follow them without them seeing them.
Ash and his friends decide to go follow Kenny. Kenny offers to battle right now, right in front of the Dialga and Palkia statues. Ash, however, thinks about it for a moment, and says that it would be a bit creepy for them to battle with Dialga and Palkia staring at them...but eventually says yes. Ash and Kenny don't know who should go first, which causes Dawn to bring out her Pokétch App, the Coin Toss. Kenny is extremely jealous, which causes Dawn to tease him that he doesn't have one.
Once the Coin Toss is done, it is decided that Ash goes first, and Dawn bets Kenny will be more focused on showing off the moves than attacking. Since Ash thinks Kenny is going to use Prinplup again, he sends out Turtwig, insisting that Pikachu should relax. Kenny, hearing this prediction, instead sends out Breloom, which surprises everyone, especially Ash.
Ash starts the battle with a Tackle, which Breloom tries to dodge, but isn't fast enough. Kenny is surprised at Turtwig's speed and orders a Mach Punch, with Ash countering with a Razor Leaf attack. As Mach Punch always is the first attack, this gets to Turtwig before Turtwig can attack. Kenny then orders an Energy Ball, which Breloom begins charging up. Dawn remarks that it's beautiful, and was right in thinking that Kenny would pay more attention to how the move looks.
The attack is then fired at Turtwig, who, despite its speed, is unable to dodge, and the Energy Ball explodes. Since Turtwig is a Template:Type2, it is still standing. Ash is impressed by this move, and asks Kenny to teach it to Turtwig. Kenny thinks about it for a moment, and then says something about the move Bullet Seed, saying that if Turtwig knows it, it'd be easier to teach Energy Ball. After admitting that Turtwig doesn't know Bullet Seed, Kenny says it will be difficult, but says he'll teach it to Turtwig if they defeat him in a battle.
We are then taken back to Team Rocket, who is still spying on Team Galactic. Saturn and his henchmen are in a room full of Unown inscriptions. The three of them put in the Splash Plate, Iron Plate, and Draco Plate, which causes the center to glow. Suddenly, all of the Unown inscriptions become real Unown. After a while, Saturn says it's nice to see Team Rocket again, which causes James to say they got busted. Saturn then talks of the new world they are going to create, as a box lifts from the ground. He then takes hold of the box, which angers all of the Unown and causes them to use Hidden Power. Saturn deflects it with Bronzor's Confuse Ray and him and his grunts go off.
Since the Unown are confused, they start attacking Team Rocket, believing that they stole the box. Team Rocket says that they "didn't do it this time" as they run for their lives.
As Ash and Kenny are still arguing over Turtwig's Energy Ball, the ruins start to glow red and lift, including the stairs, which Dawn was sitting on. Dawn gets confused and nervous as the stairs lift fully, and her Piplup begins to fall off. Aipom tries to hold Piplup up, though her strength isn't enough, and Piplup and Aipom tumble down the steps. Dawn, worried for her Pokémon, jumps off to save them.
Ash, Brock, and Kenny get worried for Dawn as the place becomes engulfed with red energy. Confused, the three of them look around. Ash and Brock are completely calm. Kenny, on the other hand, is nervous and sweaty as he sees the red walls moving by themselves. Ash gets confused as to why he's scared, and Kenny returns those confused feelings, wondering how Ash is not scared. Ash says that if the Trainer is scared, think about how the Pokémon will feel, which brings back Kenny's confidence as the three of them head in to the ruins to look for Dawn.
Dawn manages to find Piplup and Aipom, though they are still confused as to where they are. They go forward, attempting to get out, however the group of Unown, who are zapping them despite them not taking the special cube. They all attack at once, leaving Dawn clueless, however her Pokémon help her with Swift and BubbleBeam, respectively. Because of this, the Unown suddenly snap out of their confusion and turn the place back to normal. However, Dawn still doesn't know how to get out, and it still looked really weird up ahead...
So Dawn keeps on running, and whenever they encounter Unown they kept on using Swift and BubbleBeam. This effectively got Dawn out of most of the red parts.

Trivia
- Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture: Spiritomb
- Pokémon senryū: ミカルゲよ じっとがまんの ごひゃくねん Mikaruge yo, jitto ga man no, go hyaku nen.
- Saturn is listed as おとこ Man in the credits.
- The same Unown writing from Top-Down Training is shown again in this episode. It's now written in four lines instead of six:
FRIEND
SUBETE NO INOCHI HA
BETSU NO INOCHI TO DEAI
NANIKA WO UMIDASU
- In the dub, Dawn reads it as When every life meets another life, something will be born.
- The coin toss application in Dawn's Pokétch makes its second appearance.
- Not including the third and tenth movies, this is only the second appearance of the Unown species, the first being Address Unown. Despite being created after the introduction of the new forms, however, "!" and "?" Unown do not appear in this episode.
- The three plates Team Galactic used to obtain the cube from the Solaceon Ruins (Splash Plate, Iron Plate, and Draco Plate) correspond to the three types of Dialga and Palkia combined. However, the Splash Plate, associated with Palkia's Template:Type2, was placed on the side of the pattern resembling Dialga's diamond and the Iron Plate, associated with Dialga's Template:Type2 was placed on the side of the pattern resembling Palkia's pearl.
- Even though Aipom evolved, she was not shown like that in the Japanese ending theme By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~, which was featured in this episode.
Errors
- In the original airing, Unown was spelt "Unknown" in the title. This was corrected in future airings.
- In the scene where Ash saves Ambipom, Ambipom's feet are colored a light tan, like an Aipom's. They should be purple.
- After the landing from the fall, Ambipom's Japanese voice can be heard.
Dub edits
- At the point after Bronzor uses Confuse Ray, Saturn commanding it to use Teleport is edited out.
