According to [[Cogita]], the earliest human inhabitants of Hisui lived one or two millennia before the events of | Human habitation of Hisui is estimated to have begun when Hisui was created, as said in [[Sinnoh myths|myth]]. | ||
According to [[Cogita]], the earliest human inhabitants of Hisui lived one or two millennia before the events of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. This society, the Celestica people, worshiped {{ga|Arceus}} and built the ancient ruins that can be found across Hisui, some of which still exist in modern-day [[Sinnoh]], such as the [[Solaceon Ruins]] and [[Snowpoint Temple]]. A legend states that around this time, an ancient hero befriended ten Pokémon, who had received Arceus's blessing, and gathered the [[Plate]]s in order to find Arceus. These ten Pokémon would eventually have descendants known as Hisui's five [[Noble Pokémon|Noble]] and [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|Ride Pokémon]]. The Celestica people had eventually died out with most of their remains in ruins such as the [[Celestica Ruins]]. | |||
The next humans to arrive in Hisui came from across the sea. The [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s took over the Celestica people's customs and culture, both worshiping a deity known as "almighty Sinnoh", with the Diamond Clan claiming it {{p|Dialga|created time}} and the Pearl Clan claiming it {{p|Palkia|created space}}. This disagreement set off a long-running feud between the two clans. Members of the clans also came to venerate the descendants of the ancient Noble and Ride Pokémon, and appointed themselves as [[Warden]]s to tend to their needs. | |||
The latest arrivals in Hisui were the [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]], comprised of people from numerous other regions including [[Hoenn]], [[Alola]], and [[Galar]], settling in and building a village known as [[Jubilife Village|Jubilife]] found in Hisui's Southwestern corner. The Galaxy Expedition Team had been assembled to evaluate Hisui's viability for settlers, and to that end it embarked on an ecological study of the island. A significant part of this study involved the creation of the first complete Hisuian [[Pokédex]] at the direction of [[Professor Laventon]]. Unlike the two clans that lived in Hisui prior, the people of Jubilife Village were distrusting of Pokémon and the expedition team brought with them a newly-invented technology that allowed its members to conveniently capture and store Pokémon: [[Poké Ball]]s. | |||
{{spoilers}} | |||
Two years after the establishment of Jubilife Village, a space-time rift appeared above [[Mount Coronet]], and causes several [[space-time distortion|distortion]]s and storms. Lighting from the rift had struck the four Noble Pokémon that the two clans take care for. During this time, a strange visitor had fallen from the sky. This character, serving as the {{player}} in Legends: Arceus, is found by Professor Laventon at Jubilife's [[Prelude Beach]], and is offered to work for the Galaxy Team after they have shown Laventon their skill. After given some test by the player's [[friend]], known as either {{ga|Rei}} or {{ga|Akari}}, Captain [[Cyllene]] of the Survey Corps appoints them as part of the team followed by Laventon providing them a [[starter Pokémon|partner Pokémon]]. | |||
The Diamond and Pearl Clans are immediate to go to the Galaxy Team after their Noble Pokémon have caused destruction to both themselves and the land of Hisui. The player character is then appointed to investigate the problems with these four Pokémon and quell their rage, on top of completing Hisui's first Pokédex. As they progress, the player teaches the people of Jubilife Village about Pokémon and companionship, as well allowing the Diamond and Pearl Clans to get along with not only each other, but with ideas from the Galaxy Team as well. The player quells all five Noble Pokémon, but soon, the sky turns red and the space-time distortions worsen, causing [[Kamado]] the Galaxy Team's leader, to distrust the player in assumption they were a part of the cause. The player is kicked out from the team and is no longer allowed within Jubilife Village, seeking help from either clan, who are unable to provide assistance. [[Volo]], a character who the player has met before, assists the player in their time of need and brings them to [[Cogita]], telling them to seek the [[Lake guardian]]s and form a [[Red Chain]]. [[Adaman]] and [[Irida]], the {{tc|Clan Leader}}s, assist the player in their journey to avoid any ill intentions with the Galaxy Team or their clans. They return to the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] that rests upon the top of Mount Coronet. After gaining the trust of the Gaalxy team again, the player summons either {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} and gains their respect. The [[Legendary Pokémon]] warns their respective Clan leader about their counterpart, who immediately follows in their Origin Forme. The raging counterpart destroys any remains of the Red Chain and the Temple of Sinnoh. The Clan Leaders, Professor Laventon, and the player then set out to create a special Poké Ball, made of left over pieces of the Red Chain and [[Origin Ore]] and use it to quell the raging counterpart at the Temple of Sinnoh. | |||
After their success, the player continues their attempt at finishing Hisui's Pokédex, where they are stopped by Volo who's in a search for the remaining Plates, on their search, many runes and scripts are left by the Celestica people, with a story similar to that of player. Given to the player by Hisui's Noble and Ride Pokémon, the remaining Plates are held by Hisui's other Legendary Pokémon. In success with capture, the player and Volo meet at Mount Coronet, and are told of a banished Pokémon who served as a third counterpart to Dialga and Palkia. At the now destroyed Temple of Sinnoh, who Volo claims look like [[Spear Pillar|spears sticking out of the ground]], the player is found with conflict against the Pokémon wielder, betraying their trust in hopes to meet Arceus. {{p|Giratina}} is summoned by Volo after defeat and explains that it was cause of the space-time distortions had that appeared throughout Hisui, angering the Nobles and causing previous Origin Forme to go berserk. Once defeated, Volo claims he will continue to find Arceus for as long as it may take. | |||
Hisui's first Pokédex is completed and the player returns to the Temple of Sinnoh, now with an [[Azure Flute]] in hand and summons Arceus at the [[Hall of Origin]]. Arceus gifts the player a piece of themselves, acting as the {{p|Arceus}} species and the final Pokémon in the Pokédex. | |||
Between this time and the modern day Hisui will become to be known as the [[Sinnoh]] region. The Galaxy Team plans to disband after their objectives have been met. | |||
