After chasing Team Galactic through Mt. Coronet, you end up on the summit, also known as Spear Pillar. When you get there, Cyrus will use the Red Chain he crafted from Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit at the Galactic HQ in Vielstone City. After that, Dialga will apear out of another demension and send stange shock-waves all over Sinnoh. Defeating the Team Galactic Leader, Cyrus, draws you straight into a battle with a Dialga, with no chance to heal up beforehand.
