Heya, Lake Trinitarian here, which does sadly mean it is my Valor-borne duty to make fun of Arceists. I can make an exception for now though, since you asked nicely. - Spiral
My faith is uh... Tapu Koko stole a sandwich from me once, and Tapu Fini sometimes likes to sleep on my roof. It's rather hard to describe it beyond that. To myself, Arceus is an extension of that, and a similar relationship can be held... We are all equals, so it hardly seems fair to openly and knowingly do things that harm the natural world we participate in and inhabit.
Here in Alola, our legendaries (especially in these last few years) have been very "direct" in their actions, but firm belief that they don't need to be, and respect for what we have, is a big part of helping keep our home safe, clean, and a happy place to live for generations to come. - Sophie
Tad: I have to say, when I lived in Alola, it felt so weird to hear that tapu koko might just, like, visit the dorm to sleep there or just, uh, check on it? I'm so used to legendary pokemon keeping themselves well away from people (and blessedly asleep, in the case of kyogre and groudon)
Well, for a long time they were like that. Then the wormhole thing happened and they became more "active". The whole thing is rather weird even as a lifetime Alolan, but I suppose we have gotten used to it. Plus it is REALLY funny to watch certain Tapu decide things like a funny shaped palm tree are a threat. - Sophie
Can't really say that I'm particularly religious. Granted, I was also a wild pokemon until about a few months ago, so that doesn't really mean much. - Frost (Froslass)
Understandable.

Joseph Amber: My faith is important to me as well Ace. Here in Floccesy, the main legends we revere are the Swords of Justice.
I'm glad to hear that!

Joseph: Yeah!
Tad: Being a Hoenn native, it's hard to understand revering legendaries. Even so, I'm not about to throw shade on your beliefs
Understandable.

Arceus definitely wants humans to be a part of its world, but we are not its creations. All those travelers from other worlds is enough to sho we that; we seem to just be, like, the default for intelligent life. We arose naturally like we seem to do everywhere; Arceus simply integrated us into its world.
