"Deoxys is up to its old ways, so far. It's seeking out certain individuals and species, corralling them into specific locations that make sense only to Deoxys. It's avoiding the old craters, but seems to be based out of its new crater. At least, that's where most of the Tall Grass is sprouting. Deoxys clones peel off from the original 8 times per day, about every 3 hours. When it landed, multiple sightings were reported within the first five minutes, so the League thinks it cloned itself even before landing. Expect up to 25 Deoxys."

"We know the clones can shift Forme, we know they can be fainted with enough powerful attacks, we know they have finite stamina much like any Pokemon, even though they can take more hits than a Steelix. We know a dead one can be stored in a Pokeball, but they eventually regenerate and break out. No one has managed to capture a live one yet, but they can be Capture Webbed, it seems."

"We haven't engaged Deoxys Prime yet. Waiting for the Mist Lord to arrange things. Bo is already in the field, putting down clones. It's amazing to see him fight. He seems more than human."

"Dagny said you'd be heading straight for Deoxys Prime, and to support your group in any way I could in that endeavor, so I guess she knows what she's doing. Let me know if there's anything you need."

"...more clones every three hours...we definitely have to move fast, then.  The longer we take, the harder this is going to be...wait, what do you mean 'it's avoiding the old craters'?  Is it just ignoring them, or are they warding it off?"

"The Mist Lord's arranging things...I guess that means he's getting Latias's help with this?  Any other Legendaries you know of that might show up?"

"That's the only Legendary we can rely on. But the call has gone out from all sensitive trainers."

"Hehe, the story is about a family who was running from Deoxys and hunkered down in a crater. It passed them right by! It doesn't seem like it can see into the old craters or something."
