According to this legend, a greedy {{pkmn|Trainer}} once entered a sacred dungeon, known to contain many rare {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The Trainer encountered a {{p|Ninetales}} and crudely grabbed one of its tails. The Trainer was supposed to receive a curse as a result of this action, but his {{mdc|Gardevoir|1}} took the curse, doing its duty as a Gardevoir by protecting its master, which startled the Ninetales. The Trainer, horrified, fled the scene in fear of the curse. Ninetales told Gardevoir that the Trainer would one day become a Pokémon, which would bring on many natural disasters.

According to the Legend of Ninetales, those who touch the tail of a Ninetales will be cursed for a thousand years. One day, a human decided to touch a tail of a Ninetales just for fun. When the Ninetales inflicted the curse, the human's {{p|Gardevoir}} was hit instead. Ninetales asked the human if they would save their friend, but instead, the human ran away and abandoned Gardevoir. As a result, Ninetales cast a prophecy — after one thousand years, that human would be reincarnated as a Pokémon which would destroy the world. It is explained by {{p|Gengar}} that [[Ginji]] is that human, reborn as a {{p|Torchic}}. In [[GRT5|Chapter Five]], Ninetales reveals that it is actually Gengar who is the cursed human, not Ginji.
