In every Pokemon Region, there are a few myths and legends that are about it. The Elemental Islands are no different.
Many myths go around the Islands saying the island where once a large continent that broke apart by war and battles. While a little few believe that the Islands rose from the sea and gave life to all of the Pokemon in the world! And Others have no clue what to believe.
In a long time ago, when the Earth was formed, when seas where made, when continents where formed. After many great battles have been fought, but these battles weren't Human wars, weren't human battles, these battles where between Pokemon! In Houen, Groudon & Kyogre where having one of the biggest battles, while the Regi Trio also where fighting. In Kanto, the Birds, Moltres, Zapdos & Articuno where battling for territory. While in Sinnoh, Azelf, Mespirt and Uxie where fighting Heatren and Cresseila. Arceus.'s main defence line, Plakia, Dialga, Regigigas, Deoxys, Rayquaza, Lugia and Celebi where sent out to stop all of this!
Lugia went and stopped the Birds. Regigigas went and stopped the Regi Trio. Rayquaza stopped Groudon and Kyogre. Dialga and Palkia stopped the Pixies, Heatren & Cresseila. Celebi, Deoxys & Ho-ho went to stop any other fights that might have broken lose. When all of these fight where finished Arceus. quickly let out a beam of light! Part of every Pokemon's DNA went in front of Arceus.. It formed a little Pokemon called Mew. Arceus, gave a mighty roar saying "Mew would show us that we are all connected in some way!" Arcus rose 17 islands from the sea. Arcus said "These islands represent all of your types!"
The weakened Arceus. told Deoxys to listen to what Palkia says because Palkia holds the power of Space. He told Celebi to follow Dialga because he has the power of Time. He locked away the birds into little areas in Kanto. He sent Lugia to an Island in Johto to look out for the birds. Ho-oh to rome free to look out for any more attacks that might happen with the help of 3 powerful Dogs. He locked away Heatren into a mountain, Cresseila into a cave on an Island, the Pixies into 3 caves in 3 lakes. He created a Pokemon called Darkrai to punish bad Pokemon that sleep, and another Pokemon called Shaymin to help Pokemon pure of soul. With all most all of the power he had left, he made a final Pokemon, called Giratina, who was to be in charge of Pokemon after death and in all other dimensions. The all most dead Arcus moved to an area in Sinnoh where it can only be found when a specific turn is played. Or when the 17 chambers have been opened.
Rumors go around saying that when all of the Chambers on the Elemental Island are opened, Arceus will show it self.
