Uxie
The Knowledge Pokémon
Type: Psychic
Official Registration #: 480
Entry: According to Sinnohan lore, Uxie is the legendary guardian of Lake Acuity, the pixie of knowledge, and the being who gifted humanity with the ability to think. The latter is its main legacy; most stories regarding Uxie talk about how it flew across the land and how those humans it passed suddenly gained the ability to solve problems and improve their lives, independent of their pokémon companions. Of course, while it’s true that humanity as a whole has shown rich amounts of aptitude to do just this, whether or not Uxie had accidentally missed a few individuals here or there is still a matter of debate.

Mesprit
The Emotion Pokémon
Type: Psychic
Official Registration #: 481
Entry: According to Sinnohan lore, Mesprit is the legendary guardian of Lake Verity, the pixie of emotion, and the being who gifted humanity with the ability to feel. As it flew across the region, it taught the humans it encountered how to feel hope, love, sadness, joy, pain, and sorrow—all the things that are necessary for understanding the gift of life. Humans, in turn, promptly used its newfound gifts to create schadenfreude, politics, and war. Because you just can’t give humanity nice, noble things, apparently.

Azelf
The Willpower Pokémon
Type: Psychic
Official Registration #: 482
Entry: According to Sinnohan lore, Azelf is the legendary guardian of Lake Valor, the pixie of willpower, and the being who gifted humanity with the determination and strength to go through life. Some argue that Azelf was the most important pixie of all, as with knowledge and emotion but without determination, humanity would see no point in using their gifts of intelligence and compassion to make the world a better place. Just remember that, readers—it was not simply Uxie and Mesprit who came to us but Azelf as well, and as such, no matter what happens or what we think of ourselves or even what others think of us, we have Azelf’s gift of strength inside us all.

(And you thought the author was about to end this entry with something far more dismal, didn’t you?)
