August 3, 13 AL (After the Battle of the Legendaries)
To: All pokémon trainers
As you know, the Elite Four have recently required anyone who defeats them to take an extra test, but we have yet to see a trainer pass. It requires Champions to be skilled not only in fighting, but also in their ability to catch pokémon. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as they make it seem.
Last year, the Elite Four managed to receive funding from the Hoenn government to send the champion to Birth Island, the site of a recent meteor crash. Sailors who had passed by said the trees had mutated and become misshaped. Some believed a powerful pokémon had taken over, but jagged rocks that had fallen away from the impact surrounded the island and smoke that chokes any flying pokémon still issues from the crater.
The Elite Four made a special cloaked ship for the Champion that would protect him from the smoke. He was sent off with much applause and expectations for the rare pokémon he would return with. A week later, his ship returned, but no one stepped out. The Elite Four carefully walked up to the ship and climbed onto the deck. After a few minutes, one of them saw someone in the hold. Peering in, they saw the champion huddled in the bottom trying to stay hidden. They called to him and he did not answer. When they stepped in to get him, they listened carefully and heard him mumbling over and over again, "The red monkey. Don't let it get me." Sitting beside him was a melted pokédex.
He was given special doctors to cure him, but the paranoia would not subside. Finally, he stopped talking at all. No one could tell what had happened. The Elite Four simply told the public that he had failed and a new champion would be needed to find out what was on the island. They never claimed to have hidden the Champion, but not even his family has seen him since then. The doctors who had gone to help the champion disappeared with him.
I now know why the Elite Four did this. Originally they only wanted to see what the reports from trainers who had surfed by the island meant, but after a week with no Champion they realized something new. With no champion, they were the strongest trainers in the world.
After a few months of repeated tries from many pokémon trainers, a new champion managed to defeat the Elite Four. This could not stand.
The Elite Four then officially declared that there could be no new champion until someone could catch the pokémon on Birth Island. The new champion was sent off like the first to catch it, but the same thing happened to him.
The above is the result of months of research. I have known since I began that I could defeat the Elite Four, but I did not believe that there really was a pokémon on the island that the champions had been sent to catch. I expected that the champions had been locked in a cell in some prison, but last night I saw them. All were locked in an underground cave that has no entrance but by teleportation. I was forced to leave after the Elite Four noticed me. Other than the Elite Four and the doctors who are locked in with the champions, I am the only one who knows what is really happening. I have now defeated the Elite Four and I am the new champion. Tomorrow I will be sent to Birth Island to find the pokémon. If I do not return in two weeks, this message will be released onto the internet so that all can see what the Elite Four are doing. I pray that I will return with this mystery pokémon before then.

I have seen the pokémon. I tried to fight it, but it proved to be a powerful physic very quickly. I could not fight its will and grab a pokémon from my bag. I ran and I think I have escaped, but all my pokéballs seem to be stuck shut. My pokédex identified it as Deoxys, but little information is available until I catch it. I will retur… wait. I hear something behind me. A blue tentac-

I thought you humans were smart enough to understand my warnings. Obviously I was wrong. Now I must use this puny "trainer," as he calls himself. I am too powerful to be "trained" by a mere human. Instead, I am now forcing him to send this message. Your pokéballs can never hold me. This is the last human I will return to you in the ship normally, albeit with their minds distorted. Any more who try to get me will return and make sure no one is alive to come and disturb my island again. Do not test my wrath.
