Mythical Things Like Mythical Pokémon

Since I've made a post with reference to Legendary Pokémon, I thought I'd make another with reference to the other class of Pokémon that is often placed alongside it - which would be the Mythical class. Now, for this one, I don't have the secondary reference that the earlier post so conveniently has, but throughout the post, I can scatter references to other things instead just like with the other post, and they would illustrate just how the moniker applies.

For example, long ago I discovered something that reportedly could only be obtained by accomplishing a specific task a few times in a row and over a certain period. Whether or not that was true, I didn't seem to get close enough to find out. Accordingly, that specific thing fits the bill to be labeled as "mythical", and the story as it personally relates to me also seems to resemble the story of the Mythical Pokémon of Jirachi - specifically the part about being able to have wishes fulfilled when it appears. They're both fanciful in that sense.

Next on the things with a "mythical" quality is a thing that I know at one point had existed - with me actually seeing and interacting with it - but now seemingly no longer existing. It's as if the thing made it into one of Hoopa's rings along with certain other Pokémon and getting lost somewhere along the way. Hoopa might know something about it... or it might also not, and whatever the case, I'm still left wondering about it. That also leaves the thing with a persistent "mythical" aspect that also applies well in the case of the Pokémon above.

Then, the wonders of the past that are still in existence in the present day also have their own "mythical" quality about it. With the given topic, there's no doubt that Celebi has ties to this matter, seemingly allowing the things to persist even at large scales, like the big and bigger temples in my locale. If Celebi allows it, they might just persist into the future too with all the power of time travel that it allows, as well as some human effort for that very purpose. Though it could only be surmised, there is a "visionary" aspect about it for them both.

What seems to tie all these things together is that they all have an illusionary aspect in some way about them. Mythical Pokémon seem to be no less illusory in all aspects they deal with, like wishes, transport, and time as with the mentioned Pokémon above. If that is to be taken as being a key part of the "mythical" quality, then there really is something to be said about the above things being "mythical" - and perhaps having an associated Mythical Pokémon.
