If this post seems a little off in any way, it's because I needed a bit more time to prepare it. And yet preparation is key for dealing with (scaling) the "mountains of faith" that I've opted to discuss for this month's "four fours". And the next one in line has a certain amount of that literally imbued in it, being the mountain of a region with two distinct names that reflect either its past or its present. Mt. Coronet, of course, is that mountain, as the one that towers over the Hisui region of the past and the Sinnoh region of the present. Then, there are just other elements that make it such a "faithful" one.
Given its appearance in the main series games, it may seem to take a certain amount of faith to get through the paths in the mountain base to get to where one needed to go, and then when the time comes to scale to the peak in earnest, yet more faith seems to be needed. In the case of the latter, the happenings that take place on that peak are intense and harrowing to some extent, and thus may also be described as requiring faith to get through them... especially with the specific Legendary Pokémon at the end. As such, faith is apparently intertwined in various ways on the mountain.
Speaking of which, the Legendary Pokémon is said to be worshipped in ancient times much like a deity in physical form, and in this way, the Pokémon is a part of the ancient faith - that is, holy belief. Whether or not it was realized that the Legendary Pokémon represent certain aspects of the world and universe, the fact of the matter is that the Pokémon are recognized as being special in all their ways, and that's as much a form of faith as any other part of this holy belief, at least as told.
A mountain like Mt. Coronet, regardless of which region it's regarded to be in, will surely present some formidable challenges, some of which might relate to or involve faith. Yet with the elements that it has - the paths, happenings, and related Legendary Pokémon - faith seems to want to make itself present in different ways with regard to this mountain. All things considered, preparing for these aspects and to "receive" the faith of the mountain might just be a faithful task in itself.
