Abyssal Ruins (Japanese: 海底遺跡 Undersea Ruins) are sunken temple ruins in eastern Unova, accessed through the use of Dive outside of battle. It is east of Undella Town in Undella Bay. Most Plates are located here. There are four floors and no wild Pokémon or Trainers.
Each time the player enters the ruins, he or she is only allowed to take about 500 steps until a torrent of water sends the player back to the water's surface. The ruins are divided into four floors, each smaller than the other. Due to the step limit, it is impossible to get all items of the Ruins in one trip; rather, to reach the second floor, the player must reach the pillar in the middle of the ruins in fewer than 190 steps (thus ignoring all items). The Ruins are filled with 32 Relic items which, have a total value of $1,706,000 when sold to the item maniac in Undella Town. To reach the third floor, the player must use Flash. To reach the fourth floor, the player must use Strength.

Mysterious letters
|
This section contains fan speculation. There is no solid evidence for or against some parts of this article. |
Some of the pillars that comprise the corridors of the four floors of the abyssal ruins are colored purple and marked with mysterious letters. These letters can be transliterated into letters of the roman alphabet using the correct cipher. When read the correct way (right to left, bottom to top) the sentences from each pillar can be gathered into a coherent message. The cipher changes slightly between floors: when one moves up a floor the symbols move "down" one in the roman alphabet; for example, if two separate symbols corresponded to the letters G and H on one floor, on the floor above they would correspond to F and G, and on the floor above that they would correspond to E and F, respectively. A small percentage of the symbols used do not appear to have a corresponding letter and are denoted by numerical placeholders in the translated message below, though it is possible that they are logograms or numbers. The positions of two of the unknown symbols—denoted by placeholders ③ and ④ below—swap positions between Pokémon Black and White.
The message
Arranged below are the transliterated sentences found on the purple pillars in the abyssal ruins, collected into paragraphs and divided by the floor they were found on (1F, 2F, 3F, etc.):
1F
- Listen to King's words.
- Primes lead to truth.
- King is brave.
- King never loses hope.
- King is kind.
- King has a dream.
- King is adventurous.
- King accepts all.
- King turns 2nd corner.
- King turns 3rd corner.
- King turns 5th corner.
- King turns 7th corner.
- Have the heart of King.
- Here we praise King.
- King's light shines.
- King moves his people.
- King acts with love.
- King fought hatred.
- No king gets lost.*
- Go on, brave king.*
2F
- Life is gratitude.
- Eating is receiving life.
- Good or evil isn't all.
- Do not be barbaric.
- One must not waste.
- All is precious.
- Wars create tears.
- Shine if agreed.
3F
- King talks to all beings.
- Saved all from waves.
- King is hope for all.
- Think act with love.
- Act strong if agreed.
4F
- King defeated ③ alone.
- ④ joined King in a day.
- King called ⑤ beings.
- King is hope and future.
- The great King ⑥.
Interpretation
On 1F, the inscriptions talk about a brave king who fought hatred and pursued peace. In the middle of the lines, it states about the King turning on corners. These corners correspond with the intersections while entering the ruins. Every time the player comes to a choice in the path, either going straight or turning, can be considered a corner. Following this pattern, turning on the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th intersects, and continuing straight on the others, will lead the player very close to the center of 1F, regardless of what entrance is taken.
This key of 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th corners works on all floors, (except obviously on the last floor) and will lead the player to the Relic Crown.
The inscriptions on the 2nd and 3rd floors tell the player to "shine light" and "act strong" if agreed, respectively. Both at the end of these floors, the player must use Flash and Strength, respectively.

Trivia
- The Splash Plate and Draco Plate are the only Plates that are not found here, located instead on Route 13. However, the man who gives these two plates to the player states that he found them in the Abyssal Ruins himself, meaning that all the plates originate from the Abyssal Ruins.
