No he just says he will race you to catch a "unown"
"Unowns" can be found at a cave near solaceon town
If you give him some it will open up the maniac tunnel where Hippopotas can be found
If you are in the stage going to survial area or whatever passing fight area You need to finish Pokedex=210 Pokemon. Otherwise it will be blocked
There is a Pokemon called hippotas- you can only find him in the maniac tunnel
Hope this helps!

Hippopotas is in Ruin Maniac's Cave.
On Route 212 past the Ruin Maniac's Cave, the Magmarizer is an item on the ground near a trainer with a Sheildon.
you will find hipopotas right below vailstone city in a cave called Ruin Maniac Cave. Beat a Pokemon than use a max repel. After, use sweat sent and a hipopotas will appear.
I myself, have caught all the unknown, and not much happens. If you haven't talked to the ruin maniac right outside of veilstone city, then do so now. He will tell you to have a race with him to see who can get done faster. Once you catch all of the unknown, his digging tunnel will be complete, and you can go into it to find the last 2 unknown. ? and !
