It's a cautionary tale. Three very powerful pokemon make their homes in the middle of three lakes, sleeping in solitude. This story warns anyone against disturbing their rest by illustrating the consequences.
Interestingly enough, it doesn't mention the third pokemon's ability. I suppose they didn't have a good way to articulate a loss of willpower.
Well, back in the day, stories were told word-of-mouth. A lot of them took on a rather rhythmic or lyrical form so that they could be more easily memorized.
Thank you! I study it, in my free time. It's a great passion of mine.
You seem to be quite the celebrity to have gained such respect. Sadly, youth seems to have fleeting interest in the old lore even though there is much to be gained.

[ A beat. He can't help but be intrigued though. ]
But what sort of myth is this, if I may ask?

Interesting to see that even across worlds, there are those who use tales such as this as warning.
If I may, you seem rather informative on the matter... your local folklore and such.

[ Not gonna lie, it doesn't sound so different from the creation myths he's heard but that's what keeps it interesting. ]
I must commend you for making sure others know of these stories. After all, those oral traditions are oftentimes lost.

It just has to be relevant, for them. That's all it really takes.
