"A history of modification...I like that. Intriguing. Well, the records make extremely few references to anything that could be a secret library - perhaps they were expunged - but reading between the lines it's reasonable to conclude that one truly does exist. Men would pay any price for a repository of Sarimanok's knowledge - men would kill for it."

"...if you ask me...yes, it's intriguing that so many get the bright idea to do that to the bug...but...it's...horrible to think about...no Genesect has ever gotten to be what it wishes to be...it's always what those who revive it want to be, and it's usually a weapon of some kind..."

"...I've read of too many accounts of people creating artificial pokemon for those kinds of purposes...I know it probably won't stop any time soon, but...I wish it would...no good has ever come of creating and training pokemon for the sole purpose of being weapons...nobody ever seems to learn..."

"...many would go to any lengths to make or obtain the ultimate pokemon...one that tears down all that stand against it without question..."

"...and in the end, they all end up disappointed when their plans fail.  At the end of the day...they're all still pokemon.  The only one who actually succeeded in creating the ultimate killing machine was King AZ of Kalos, 3000 years ago, when he created the Ultimate Weapon, the only attempt at mass destruction that wasn't through the medium of using pokemon in battle...and the power it granted him, and the cost it required...it was horrific..."

...

"...3000 years...three millennia of searching for power...I wonder when humanity will learn that the cycle needs to end...?"

...

"...and yet I have to continue to believe we won't, and that someone has to find and safeguard that knowledge before it can be abused...it won't remain hidden forever when there are those zealously searching for it..."

...

"...it's times like these where I wonder if Arceus, Aotius, and Mutios might eventually have good reason to forsake humanity, separate people from pokemon permanently so we can't abuse them and their power...honestly, we're fortunate that they haven't yet, with all the crazy stuff that's happened in the last 10 years..."
