These books include: "Sinnoh Myth," which may refer to {{p|Arceus}}; "Sinnoh Region's Mythology," which explains why wild Pokémon appear in grass before Trainers; "Sinnoh's Myth," which explains the existence of the [[lake guardians]]; "Veilstone's Myth," which tells a story about a young swordsman whose disregard for Pokémon leads to his encounter with {{p|Giratina}}; "The Original Story," which explains the origin of the [[Pokémon world]]; "A Horrific Myth," which tells a horrible tale about the consequences of those who threaten the lake guardians; and "Sinnoh Folk Stories," a book containing three folk stories. The first story illustrates that Pokémon can be used for sustenance, the second implies that humans and Pokémon were once one and the same or came to be separate through biological evolution, and the third folk story states that there was a time when Pokémon and humans had no distinguishable differences. | ||
