Draco: I tried, but I can't say I always succeeded.

Regirock | The Golem of Stone
Regice | The Golem of Cold
Registeel | The Golem of Iron
May: The golems are weird. I know it's unprofessional to say something like that in a record of notes on legendary Pokémon, but the fact of the matter is they are weird. A brief encounter makes it hard to tell if they are in fact living creatures, and not just automatons. They are all located in strange caves; the Golem of Stone makes its home in the desert, the Golem of Cold resides on an isolated island, and the Golem of Iron is found stranded on a rocky path.
Dawn: I can confirm that the golems are in fact living beings. I will also firmly agree that they are weird.
Kellyn: The golems have been found to hide in statues crafted to resemble their own forms. Regirock is revealed by shattering its stone figure with incomparable crushing force; Regice shows itself when its cold visage is bathed in flames that made me leave the room; Registeel only appeared when its iron imitation was sliced apart flawlessly.
Gloria: In addition to 'strange caves', the golems can also be found in temples that bear the likeness of each golem's face upon the floor, and a generic-looking statue opposite the entrance. Walking upon the golem's visage and then approaching the statue will awaken and enrage the golem, which seems to manifest while the aggressor's back is turned.
(Lunick also, etc, etc, Kellyn's notes are better | ~Cynthia)

Latias | The Crimson Eon
Latios | The Cobalt Eon
May: You know, you'd think that a brother and sister as similar as the Skylight Eons would be inseperable. They both fly with speed and grace like nothing anyone who hasn't seen them can even imagine. Think the kind of jets that Unovans use for skywriting, but up to eleven. And they're both capable of Mega Evolution, which basically takes everything past eleven and possibly up to twenty. And they look like mirrors when they both pull it off, which is just frickin'.
(May does not do professional very well | ~Cynthia)
Summer: As a Ranger, I am familiar with flight on the back of a Staraptor. But I will never mount a Staraptor again, unless otherwise necessary, because of how wonderful flight is on the back of an Eon. When fully rested, Latios can cross Oblivia in the time it takes for a Staraptor to get from Renbow to Mitonga. It's beautiful, seeing him fly - paralleled only by the view of Oblivia from his back.
(Note for non-Oblivians: Renbow Island and Mitonga Island are connected by bridge | ~Cynthia)

Kyogre | The Sea Basin | The Primordium
May: The storms caused by Kyogre's presence are nothing to sneeze at, but they're only noteworthy for their persistence. The storms caused by the Primordium made me reach for my scuba gear. Anyone with the misfortune to piss off the Sea Basin had best get as far inland and as high off the ground as possible.
Lunick: When wounded - as might happen after those historic battles - Kyogre will retreat to an undersea cave to lick its wounds. Its recovery will form whirlpools on the surrounding ocean, which in turn will provoke water-dwelling Pokémon, which in turn may threaten people in ports.

Groudon | The Continent | The Desolation
May: Sunlight follows Groudon everywhere, but that's not gonna stop another weather-dancer from setting their own stage. The suffocating heat surrounding the Desolation has stopped me from enjoying a summer day. If you anger the Continent, you damn well better head to the shore and dive as deep as your muscles will allow.
Lunick: An injury - like those received after certain cataclysms - will prompt Groudon to rest in a volcano or similarly hot underground cavern. When it does, the heat of the surrounding area intensifies, and the cavern will become unstable and unsafe - even for a Ranger.

Rayquaza | The Sky Demon | The Delta
May: The wars between the Primordium and the Desolation were calmed by Rayquaza showing up and kicking ass, and personal experience gives me less than no reason to doubt the stories. The Sky Demon can fly through anything, up to and including nothing, and the gales that whip up around the Delta make everything easier for it and its fellow sky-dwellers.
Lunick: Rayquaza inspires awe. I will accept no quarrel on this matter. The way it soars, the way it fights, the fury it exudes when enraged, it is all awe-inspiring.

Jirachi | The Crystal Wishmaker
May: I received tickets to watch the Litleonids in Mossdeep Space Center, and went with a friend. That night, I was at the beach, having some Mulched luck fishing, and I idly wished out loud that I would hook a Sharpedo. I saw a gleam out the corner of my eye; when I turned towards it, I saw something small, and white, and glowing. My rod caught something, and by the time I'd caught the Sharpedo I'd hooked, it was gone.
(This was previously the only thing I had that's even remotely close to a personal account on the Wishmaker; she is the most fleeting of Mythical Pokémon | ~Cynthia)
Rita: The legends claim that the Crystal Wishmaker will awaken during the passing of meteors. I suspect, then, that the descent of a meteor has resulted in a perpetual wakefulness for Jirachi in that area. That said, there's a limit to how long one can stay awake, for people and Pokémon both; even if she seems cheerful enough, she might well be on her way to calling it a night.

Deoxys | The Starcomer
May: It came from space. What comes from space? It was in a meteor. I broke a meteor and there was a triangle chunk floating in the middle of it. It twisted around, then it stopped and then it moved and then it grew tentacles. Then the triangle chunk broke, and this thing was floating there. I almost wet myself. The chunk was thinner than my Pokédex. What part of that thing could have been hidden in there?
(This rambling continued for several minutes, during which I learned nothing more worth reporting here, which leads me to believe that May's experience with the Starcomer was rather traumatic | ~Cynthia)
Lunick: Deoxys is unnerving. It makes no expression, has no visible reaction to anything happening around it, and even when captured, the only sign it showed of having received my friendship was ceasing to attack me. Its specialized Formes cannot be captured by a Styler, but sufficient empathy towards one of those Formes will revert it to its Normal Forme, wherein a capture is possible.
Draco: May strikes me as the type to be rather less practiced in being professional than the others. Maybe it's just the fact that she's so much more animated in ORAS than Serena and Calem are in XY.
The golems' titles are a reference to a (very unthought) Pokémon fanfic I wrote back on deviantART. They only ever appeared as a trio, and I ended up making lame jokes about "stone-cold iron" whenever they were mentioned.
The Starcomer section is a little indulgence of mine. First time I cleared Omega Ruby's Delta Episode, I saw the triangle chunk left behind after Rayquaza trashed the meteor and, honest to Alpha, I smirked and went "Heh, Delta." Then it moved, and I was dumbfounded until I saw the tentacles come out. "No way. No way. No-" Meteor breaks, the Starcomer's sitting in the middle of my screen, and I ran outside in a bathrobe in Canadian February and screamed, "MOTHER! F#%*ING! DEOXYS!"
