The rest is too damaged to make out…
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 1
“I must thank the Oreburgh Mine for providing me with such a unique item to study. The Odd Keystone they have donated appears to be a man made object, but it predates any known civilizations in the Sinnoh region. This, of course, raises several questions, the largest of which being, ‘Was there some form of civilization in Sinnoh that we have yet to discover?’
“However, that’s a mystery for another time. What’s important right now is analyzing the Odd Keystone. So far, I’ve found nothing conclusive, but it does seem to radiate some form of energy. Similar radiations seem to be given off by Pokémon like Gengar and Banette. Perhaps it has some relation to those Pokémon, like Latias and Latios and the fabled Soul Dew, or Arceus and its legendary plates. I’ll update my findings as I discover more.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 2
“Further analysis of the Odd Keystone has raised even more questions. I followed through on my previous speculations by exposing the Odd Keystone to several ghost type Pokémon, but no reaction occurred, Likewise, the Pokémon exposed to the Odd Keystone showed no interest in it. It is a possibility that my initial conclusion was completely incorrect, but I have the strangest feeling that this energy radiating from the Odd Keystone is more significant than it seems. Perhaps I’ll expose the keystone to other types of Pokémon. What is this strange relic?”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 3
“I believe I have made a breakthrough. The energy radiating from the Odd Keystone seems to be similar to that of the so-called ‘Infinity Energy’ released by Mega Evolution, although a great deal more potent. Perhaps the Odd Keystone is an early form of the keystone trainers use to Mega Evolve their Pokémon, or even a type of Mega Stone for an undiscovered Pokémon! I’ll have to continue this path of research to be truly sure.
“On the other hand, ancient legends tell of a man named AZ who once harnessed this ‘Infinity Energy’ in the form of the Life Force of a great many Pokémon. It is a disturbing story, to say the least, but all options must be considered. Perhaps the Keystone is a container for such Life Force. Sadly, I’ve no way to pursue this idea, as there isn’t any way to extract this ‘Life Force’, if it even exists.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 4
“Having further analyzed the Odd Keystone’s makeup, I’m afraid I’ll have to abandon my Mega Stone theory, as the keystone appears to be mostly granite, and holds no trace of the crystalline material that makes up Mega Stones, only what appears to be a small chunk of unidentified mineral at the center of the keystone. Therefore, I am back where I started, with no clue as to what the Odd Keystone is, or what it once might have been. I plan to run more exposure tests, this time with Pokémon types other than ghost. Perhaps I shall find some significance in those tests.
“It’s unfortunate, but if I can find no other leads to follow regarding the Odd Keystone, I may be forced to abandon the project.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 5
“The Odd Keystone is gone. It was simply missing from its place on the examination table as I entered the lab this morning. I am writing this as I frantically search my lab for any trace of the keystone. I did not move or misplace it, and when I asked the lab aides, they all claimed to be innocent. I’ve no clue where it could have disappeared to, and all that I can think of is how furious the supervisors from Devon will be when they discover that I’ve lost such a valuable donation.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 5
“The Odd Keystone has reappeared. I don’t know how or when, but I returned to the lab this morning and the keystone was once again in its place on the examination table, exactly where it had been before. It was gone for barely over a day, and I am most curious as to who had taken it. The important matter, however, is that it has been returned. I’ll have some explaining to do regarding the note I turned in to Captain Stern about it going missing, I suppose.
“Anyways, I have resumed testing on the Odd Keystone, only to find that the strange energy it is emitting is even more potent than before. Did something happen to it while it was missing from the lab? If so, I must find out and attempt to recreate this event. I shall update my findings further if I am successful.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 6
“I’ve made a breakthrough! The energy radiating from the Odd Keystone has increased again, after I exposed it a sphere commonly found in the massive network of caverns located under Sinnoh. I understand that the caves are a popular destination for spelunkers, and that the spheres are used as some sort currency within the caves, but I do not understand the correlation between the spheres and the keystone.
“I’ve also most likely discovered the Odd Keystone’s thief. There is a researcher in another lab aboard the Sea Mauville that is studying these spheres. He, of course, denies my accusations, but I’m still suspicious.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 7
“I’ve made a most curious discovery. The previously unidentified mineral at the keystone’s center appears to be similar to the mineral that comprises the spheres from Sinnoh. However, the spheres are natural occurrences at extreme depths, while the keystone was found in a rather shallow branch of the Oreburgh Mine. I’d say my suspicions that the Odd Keystone is man made are all but confirmed.
“On the other hand, the matter of the mysterious energy remains unsolved. I know that it is similar to Infinity Energy and is somehow related to the spheres, but that is all. It is a most frustrating predicament.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 8
“The Odd Keystone disappeared again. This time, I was much less concerned, and found it where I suspected it would be: In the lab of the researcher looking into spheres. However, what did intrigue me is that the researcher looking into spheres has been on sick leave for two days now. Perhaps one of his lab aides is the culprit?
“No matter. There are more important matters at hand. Upon analyzing one of the spheres I had been keeping in close proximity for the Odd Keystone, I have discovered that the orb has started radiating the same energy as the Odd Keystone! Needless to say, I was fascinated by the occurrence, and immediately analyzed the Odd Keystone itself, only to find the level of energy it was outputting had lessened dramatically! I must conclude that these spheres serve as storage devices for this energy, and that the Odd Keystone held some significance. Perhaps the energy it was storing was important to whatever civilization created it.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 9
“The Odd Keystone was missing once again this morning, and I found it in the exact same location as before. I must say, this is getting quite annoying, and if it happens again, I’ll be reporting it to Captain Stern.
“I analyzed the energy output of all the spheres the other researcher had been studying while I retrieved the Odd Keystone, and found that they were completely devoid of the energy coming from the Odd Keystone. Did the Odd Keystone absorb all of the energy from them?”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 10
“The Odd Keystone was missing once again this morning, but I could not find it anywhere in the lab with the spheres. This is most concerning. I shall continue to search for it, but perhaps it shall turn up on its own once again.
“On a related note, the sphere I had used to draw energy out of the Odd Keystone is now completely devoid of that same energy. Perhaps the Odd Keystone reclaimed the stolen energy.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 11
“The keystone is still missing, and has been for several days. I haven’t slept much at all, partly out of worry, partly out of intrigue. I’ve scoured all of Sea Mauville and still discovered no trace of the Keystone, and the guards at the entrances tell me no one has taken it off site.
“In other news, I’ve started hearing unusual noises around the lab. It’s most likely the lack of sleep, but it’s still worth noting."
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 12
“The Odd Keystone is still missing, but that is not why I am writing this entry. I managed to get a good night’s sleep last night, and woke up rather refreshed. However, the noises I’ve been hearing are still there, if not louder. I’ve asked some of the lab aides if they hear anything, but they claim not to. Is this perhaps a side effect of prolonged exposure to the energy emitted by the Odd Keystone? If so, perhaps it is a good thing it has disappeared before more serious symptoms emerged.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 13
“The noises have only gotten louder, and frankly, I’m starting to worry. It’s been nearly two weeks since I was last exposed to the energy of the Odd Keystone, and the noises aren’t going away. Sometimes I swear they almost sound like words. Perhaps I should take some time off. Yes, that would be nice. It’s been some time since I’ve seen my son Takao.
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 14
“They are words, I knew it! The strange noises have started to form words, albeit just a passing ‘are’ or ‘we’. Most of it is still unintelligible gibberish. Am I going insane, or did my extended exposure to the Odd Keystone open me up to something… more? Perhaps the energy was a key, a key to unlocking something… something new, and not of this world.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 15
“The noises are starting to disturb me. They’re whispering in my ear, influencing me. I’m constantly overcome with emotions the likes of which I’ve never experienced before. Burning hatred, seething bitterness, a biting sense of cold rage. The lab aides say I’m in quite the funk, and I myself find that I only really manage to be at peace when I’m writing these reports in my lab.
“If I’m being honest, I’m starting to scare myself. I’ve no idea what I’ve truly brought about.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 16
“I’ve come to a harrowing conclusion. In one of my earlier entries, I explained my theory about Life Force and Infinity Energy, and then dismissed it as implausible. I now return to that conclusion in light of a recent realization. It was a common belief among the ancient peoples of Sinnoh that malevolent spirits could be bound and imprisoned within sacred or significant objects, removing their ability to influence the outside world. Normally I would find such beliefs silly and naive, but in light of recent events, I have been forced to consider the possibility. Perhaps the Odd Keystone was one of such objects, and perhaps by providing it access to other sources of this Life Force, in the form of spheres, it was able to grow powerful enough to escape its bonds. If this is the case, then I must admit, I am very, very afraid.
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 17
“The noises are no longer noises. Ever since I came to the conclusion that I released… something, the noises have become words, and since then sentences. I can hear them everywhere I go now, whether I’m on Sea Mauville or not. Every waking moment is plagued by a quiet, horrifying whisper in my ear. The emotions I was claiming to experience before are stronger than ever, and writing no longer quells them. I am afraid of what I might do should I be encouraged to act upon these foreign emotions.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 18
“I hear them everywhere, the whispers. They never stop. I hear them as I work, I hear them as I dream, and they only say one thing, over and over.
“It’s come to my attention that my son feels neglected and alone, and that my wife is having an affair, but I don’t care. All I care about are the voices. Their constant companionship is both comforting and bone chillingly terrifying as they keep whispering their message over and over. They say only one thing, one thing I am not likely to ever forget, even if I’m freed of this curse.
“All they ever say and all they ever whisper is, ‘We are Spiritomb’.”
-Professor Raizoh Cozmo
Odd Keystone Report, Entry 19
“Captain Stern here. Just goin’ through and finalizing all of Raizoh’s research. Had to lay the poor fellow off the other day, he’s gone rather batty if I do say so myself. I hate to see the man go, he was brilliant, but a job’s a job and Raizoh just couldn’t seem to keep up with it. Maybe the stress is what drove ‘em mad. Maybe some time with his family will help patch him up.
