I agree as it is mentioned in the lore behind Gyarados that it is based on a karp that leapt over the Dragon Gate. I suppose they made it part-Flying due to the fact that the waterfalls/cataracts were collectively known as the Dragon Gate in China.

As for Lugia, I believe it somehow uses it's Psychic power in order to dwell in the ocean waters. With the history behind it, with it having resided at one of the two towers, it's plausible that the ocean is it's resting place.
