Okay I know Scarlet and Violet just released.
But something tells me about what I believe are urns knocked over hiding the Artifacts of Ruin ( Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu)
Were meant to be sealed off. They're the 4 Perils, or the 4 Heavenly Kings.
Most possibly the anti of the Forces of Nature ( Landorous, Enamorous, Thunderous, Tornadus.) These 4 are the 4 Four Auspicious Beasts.
But notice how they seem like they have more power to everything around them?
Vessel of Ruin - Sp. Attack of all except itself is lowered.
Sword of Ruin - Defense of All except itself is lowered.
Tablets of Ruin - Attack of others are lowered except itself.
Beads of Ruin - Sp. Defense of others are lowered except itself.
These Pokemon are not specifically Pokemon,
Here's a text from their dex descriptions
Chi-Yu " The envy accumulated within curved beads that sparked conflicts, clad itself in fire and became a Pokemon." (Violet)
Chien-Pao " The hatred who perished by the sword long ago, clad itself in snow and became a Pokemon." (Violet)
Wo-Chien " The grudge of a person punished for writing the King's evil deeds upon wooden tablets, clad itself in leaves and became a Pokemon." (Scarlet)
Ting-Lu " The fear poured into an ancient ritual vessel clad itself in rocks and dirt and became a Pokemon." (Scarlet)
I've tried looking deep into the info on what Chinese mythos about the Beads, Tablets, Sword, and Vessel. And I came up with nothing maybe someone will find more info.
The people who owned these items are what caused Ruin and had to be sealed off in Paldea away from a place they're from?
