Are there any religions in Pokemon?


From what I remember, no character in Pokemon is shown going to any sort of
religious house of worship, and there doesn't seem to be much if any mention
of religion/religious beliefs until Sinnoh, where there is lore following
Arceus's creation of the world. Are there any organized religions in the
world, worshiping either Arceus or some other deity/pantheon?




It's not a religion from the present Pokemon World, but in the manga series
_[The Electric Tale of Pikachu (Dengeki
Pikachu)](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/The_Electric_Tale_of_Pikachu)_
, in the fourth chapter ([Haunting my
Dreams](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/ET04)), Brock says to Ash that
in "ancient times" the people who lived near the Pokemon Tower in Lavender
Town worshipped Pokemon as gods:
