According to several [[Sinnoh myths|myths]], this region was the first of all the regions in the Pokémon world to have been created. In a void of nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} came into being, which then hatched into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon to be in existence. Arceus created {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, then gave them the abilities to control time, space, and anti-matter respectively. Giratina was banished to [[Distortion World|another dimension]] for its violent behavior. Then, during the very early formation of the world, Arceus created {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Mesprit}} to create willpower, knowledge, and emotion respectively, things that are in all modern humans and Pokémon. They dove to the bottom of present-day [[Lake Valor]], [[Lake Acuity]], and [[Lake Verity]], an act which earned them the name "the lake trio". At that point, Arceus created the Hisui region and [[Mount Coronet]] divided the region into two sections. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] was created and {{p|Heatran}} was formed in lava. Arceus finally created the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs before falling into a never-ending sleep at the [[Hall of Origin]].

Around this time, {{p|Mew}} was thought to have come into being by itself, containing the DNA of every Pokémon to exist and exist in the future. Human habitation of Hisui is estimated to have begun when Hisui was created, as said in [[Sinnoh myths|myth]]. It is stated that Pokémon and humans led separate lives, but always helped each other. They supplied each other with goods, and supported each other. A Pokémon proposed to the others to always be ready to help humans, and that Pokémon be ready to appear before humans always. Thus, to this day, Pokémon appear to humans if they venture into [[tall grass]].

According to [[Cogita]], the earliest human inhabitants of Hisui lived one or two millennia before the events of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. This society, the Celestica people, worshiped {{p|Arceus}} and built the ancient ruins that can be found across Hisui and modern-day Sinnoh, such as the [[Solaceon Ruins]] and [[Snowpoint Temple]]. A legend states that around this time, an ancient hero befriended the island's [[Noble Pokémon]], who had received Arceus's blessing, and gathered the [[Plate]]s in order to find Arceus.

In contemporary history, {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon, like the recently reported [[red Gyarados]], in the nearby [[Lake Verity]]. After receiving one of [[Professor Rowan]]'s Pokémon to call their own, their journey begins in earnest, and both Lucas/Dawn and Barry challenge the Sinnoh region's eight Gyms to gain the Badges necessary to challenge the {{si|Pokémon League}}. Along the way, however, Lucas/Dawn is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to remake the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} (or {{p|Giratina}} in Platinum canon), Lucas/Dawn challenges Sinnoh's Elite Four and Champion, [[Cynthia]], and becomes Champion him/herself. In {{game|Platinum}}, Cyrus accidentally opened a portal to the [[Distortion World]] above [[Mount Coronet]] while trying to create a new world for himself. The portal atop Mount Coronet was able to be closed, but a passageway to this strange dimension still remains in the [[Turnback Cave|depths]] of [[Sendoff Spring]].

After becoming the Champion of Sinnoh, Lucas/Dawn is contacted by Barry, who they join in taking a ship to the [[Battle Zone]], which is home to the {{si|Battle Park}} (or the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} in Platinum canon). Lucas/Dawn explores this island, and also explores Stark Mountain, where they eventually meet and capture {{p|Heatran}}. In Platinum canon, they also aid Looker in stopping [[Charon]], who was here in an attempt to reform Team Galactic and attempted to use Heatran's power to send Stark Mountain into an eruption, alongside the reluctant Mars and Jupiter who defect from the team without Cyrus. Looker then proceeds to arrest Charon and put an end to Team Galactic once and for all.
