Afterlife Trio

The Afterlife Trio, at times referred to as the Martyr Trio or the Sin Trio, is a collective term often used to refer to the three most powerful Legendary Pokémon of the Xeno Region: Savara, Naraka, and Vinipatika. Respectively representing heaven, hell, and purgatory, the three are arguably the strongest Pokémon in both Pokémon Aether and Nether Versions, as well as in Pokémon Tether Version. According to Xeno myths, the three where once ordinary (if incredibly powerful) Pokémon, who upon seeing the chaos that humanity caused by its warring natures and decided to absorb these natures into themselves in the hope of achieving peace for not just man, but also their fellow Pokémon. Savara took in humanity's peace and benevelonce, but also their lethargy and at times weak well, becoming the Heavenly Pokémon. Naraka took their righteous anger and passion, but also received their rage, destructive and warring nature, and their self-loathing, and thus became the Hellish Pokémon. Vinipatika absorbed their natural balance within themselves, but also their dislike for change and urge to control, and was made into the Purgatory Pokémon.

According to a similar myth, after assuming their new identities, their newer natures caused Savara and Naraka to launch an assault on the Xeno region, with their mere presence forcing their nature upon those who came close, human and Pokémon. Wherever Savara went, inhabitants found that their living space had become akin to a paradise, though they also lost all drive to continue doinig, well, anything. And wherever Naraka travelled, those there discovered that their land had become a hell on earth, but they had also, miraculously, received an incredible amount of drive and determination to actually DO something about it, and worked to survive and change their land back to what it had once had. As the two conflicting natures collided, an incredible amount of damage was done as a result, not just to Xeno, but to the Pokémon world as a whole. In order to stop this conflict, a massive group of Pokémon Trainers allied with Vinipatika, who also desired to stop his fellows, and acting as one they managed to barely defeat and seal the two rogue Legendary Pokémon. Vinipatika, its job completed, proceeded to vanish into the sky itself, and the Trainers made a solemn view to metaphorically throw away the key and erase any memory of where the two Legendary Pokémon had been sealed. This vow was kept for quite a long time, and eventually the Afterlife Trio was completely forgotten, relegated to myths told around the campfire or at other such ceremonies, peace having been restored.

The villainous Team Samsara seeks to unseal both Savara and Naraka, believing their collision will open the door to 'paradise'.
