The Lake Trio (Pokémon: The Series)

The Lake Trio are a group of three legendary Pokemon, Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie, who appear in the Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl anime series. They are a trio of Pokemon who helped create the universe and protect the Sinnoh region from harm, and are hunted by Team Galactic as part of their plan to remake the universe.
==History==
According to legend, the three came into existence at the beginning of the universe and helped create Sinnoh, and are tasked with maintaining balance in the region. It's said that each gave mankind a gift: Uxie gave humans wisdom, Mesprit gave them emotions, and Azelf gave them willpower. They continue to watch the human world from an alternate dimension which can be accessed from the three lakes, and the legend states that if one of them were to fall, the other two will sense this and appear to restore balance. 
As Ash, Dawn, and Brock explore the Sinnoh region, the trio appear and bond with them, warning them in dreams that Sinnoh is in danger of being destroyed. When Cyrus learns from Ash that they have seen the trio, he is surprised, as such a thing has never happened before, and his subordinates Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter are frustrated, as they had planned to bond with the trio themselves in order to control them.
After creating the Red Chain, Team Galactic hires Hunter J to capture the trio, but when she captures Azelf, Emrit and Uxie appear to stop her. Although both are captured as well, they are able to use a Future Sight attack which later kills J and her henchmen. The trio is then brought under Team Galactic's control, but Ash and his friends are able to free them. The trio then shield Ash's group from Cyrus's attacks and help free Dialga and Palkia from mind control, preventing them from destroying the universe.
The trio later appear in Pokemon Journeys to warn Ash and his friends of Team Galactic's new plan to use the lava Pokemon Heatron to bring back Cyrus from his new world.
==Trivia==
*They are among the few characters in the anime to have actually killed someone, as their Future Sight attack appears to have killed Hunter J and several of her henchmen.
