Ash and the others arrived at the reception area they had first reached, where they rendezvoused with Mr. Briney, who had been waiting by the door. Ash briefly explained what had happened inside Sea Mauville to Mr. Briney, and both he and Natsuki released Misdreavus and Spiritomb to prove it to him.
"Oh my, that is truly wonderful! Thanks to you all, we can finally welcome customers back to Sea Mauville once again. You simply must come visit us once we're ready. Oh, that's right, I have a little something for you all. Open it up and take a look!" With that, Mr. Briney produced a small box and handed it to Ash's group.
May caught the box and opened it to find a stone and a red string inside. "This is a Dawn Stone and a Destiny Knot. I don't really need to explain what a Dawn Stone is for, do I? As for the Destiny Knot, when the Pokémon holding it leaves an Egg, five of the offspring's six individual values will be inherited at random from its parents. It's a rather wonderful effect, so I'm giving them all to you now."
