From the games explanation:
A long, long time ago, a man and an ogre came to Kitakami from aforeign land. The people of the village feared the man and the ogre,who looked so much different from them… And so they refused to letthe travelers come anywhere near the village. The man and the ogrewere saddened that the villagers did not welcome them… But they werehappy just to have each other. They settled quietly in a cave on amountain. There was only one villager that pitied the two travelers:The village mask maker. He made several masks for the man and theogre. The masks were brilliant works, adorned with gems that the manhad brought from somewhere far away. By wearing these masks, thetravelers could hide their true faces and mingle with the villagers.The man and the ogre were overjoyed. They thanked the mask maker forhis kindness. Wearing the masks, the man and the ogre started secretlyjoining the village festival. The mysterious pair soon became the talkof the village because of their brilliant masks. In fact, rumors aboutthem quickly spread far and wide, even to distant lands. But rumors ofexquisite, shining masks attract not just innocent curiosity… Agroup of greedy Pokémon soon made their way to Kitakami. These Pokémonsneaked into the cave in which the man and the ogre lived… and triedto make off with the masks, which were very carefully stored away. Theman happened to be there. He managed to hold on to one of the masks…but he was not strong enough to protect them all. The Pokémon stolethe other three masks. Several hours later when the ogre returned tothe cave… it found its beloved in ruin. All that was left were signsof a struggle and a teal mask. The ogre donned that mask and went downto the village, perhaps to search for its friend. It found the greedyPokémon there, gloating over their stolen masks, and defeated them.The villagers, of course, had no idea what was happening nor why. Allthey saw was the raging ogre. And in great fear, they fled. Thevillagers thought the three Pokémon had fallen trying to protect thevillage from the ogre. To honor their “sacrifice”, they named them theLoyal Three and interred them with care. Wounded and weak, the ogrereturned to its cave–alone and with great sadness.
TLDR;A man and an ogre (Ogrepon) went to Kitakami. They went to the village, but the villagers were very scared of them because they were very different from the villagers. They went to a cave and called it home. There was a mask maker, and he pitied the travelers, so he made masks for them to be able to go in the village and mingle with them. People made rumors about these people, and soon other lands heard about these rumors, leading to the so-called “Loyal Three” to try and steal the masks. The man fought the Pokémon but died, leaving only one mask for Ogrepon to use. Ogrepon was very sad and mad so she went to the village and fought the Loyal Three. The Loyal Three fainted, but then the people thought they died. They also thought the ogre was the bad guy, and the Loyal Three the good guys. So, then they made a festival just to celebrate them. The ogre was very sad and went to its cave, living alone.
It’s implied that they were revived since Kieran had the Teal Mask when he punched the shrine pole, and the Teal Mask is known for healing and life-giving/restoring properties.
This is probably true.
