[edit] Ruin Maniac Cave

A Ruin Maniac is digging away in the mountain. Pick up TM28 (Dig) and talk to him. He proposes a contest where you catch Unown and he digs away. Catch 10 different kinds of Unown to find the tunnel much longer, and catch all 26 to discover he has plunged through into Solaceon Town and into a room with the last two Unown, ! and ?.
