Origin Story
Arceus created the universe, the trio of dragons, and the trio of spirits. When Dialga was born, time began; similarly, as Palkia was born, matter and space came into existence. The trio of the lakes wished, and spirit came into being.
When the world was young and new, Kyogre sighed, and the world was covered in oceans. Groudon roared, and the continents expanded. Rayquaza flew through the sky, bringing the weather and life-giving air.
The Black Fog
An ancient Haunter is said to roam Lavender Town at night, stealing the souls of people and Pokémon. It has been dubbed the Black Fog, and it serves as the bogeyman figure for Lavender. The closer one is to Lavender Town, the more likely it is that they've heard ghastly tales of the Black Fog's exploits. It's said that nobody has seen it and lived to tell the tale, and that it lurks in the ruins near the town when not terrorizing the town itself.
Pokémon Tower
Lavender Town is largely considered by the outside world to be quite haunted, but no place is more famous for this than Pokémon Tower. The ghosts of deceased Pokémon are said to roam the floors of the tower, making brief appearances to trainers who may venture within. It's said that an especially vicious Marowak haunts the upper floors, and since the upper floors have been closed without explanation by Heissenrech Co, this theory seems to be supported.
Missingno
There is a legend told on Cinnabar Island of a human type Pokémon that surfs up and down the island's east coast. Though many claim to have seen it, their stories seem largely unreliable. Skeptics write off the sightings as drunken hallucinations or a Jynx playing a prank. Despite the skepticism, there are enough people who want to believe that the mysterious Pokémon has become something of a cult figure in Cinnabar. Missingno, as it came to be known, may as well be the place's mascot.
Clefairy
There is a legend that Clefairy actually came from the moon. They seem far more intelligent than other Pokémon, living in a sort of tribe oriented culture and fashioning simple jewelery or headdresses for themselves. Their evolution into Clefable is handled very ceremoniously due to the limited number of moon stones. Clefairy who wish to leave the tribe to see the world will step forward and volunteer to become Clefable, but they are then bound to leave the tribe.
Ancient Pokémon
There is a belief (largely kept by idealistic hopefuls) that there is someplace in the world, cut off from history, where ancient Pokemon still live and thrive. There is no evidence to support the belief, though there are plenty of fictional novels based on the premise. (Consider this analogous to the belief that dinosaurs still exist in the unexplored Amazon somewhere)
