Capture the Shiny Victini

I crawl ashore an island, spitting seawater out of my mouth. "I can't believe I fell off that boat, and not a single person noticed!" I shout to myself. Suddenly, I hear rustling. I turn and hardly believing my eyes I see a shiny Victini peeking through some bushes! Thinking about the rarity of such a Pokémon and what I could possibly gain in exchange for the Victini, I snatch it up and swing it around, doing a little happy dance. Realizing that I must be at Liberty Garden in the Unova region, I try my best to look nonchalant as I walk my waterlogged self over to the port, Victini wrapped up snugly in the poncho that I had in my pocket and should have been wearing on that boat.
Hello, mere mortals lovely forum-goers. This thread is inspired by a series of games I've participated in on another forum, so I thought I could bring life into it here! This game is a sort of story, where you play as yourself (or whatever character you imagine yourself to be) in the Pokémon world. The goal is simple: capture the shiny Victini from the previous poster. You can have whatever motives and use whatever methods you wish, as long as you follow some simple rules.
1) Follow the rules of the Bulbgarden Forums and Fun and Games section, obviously.
2) Try to minimize the controlling of other poster's own characters. No god-modding, basically. Characters from the Pokémon universe are okay to use, and pretty much fair game for anyone.
3) No auto-killing. Please let each poster decide whether his/her own character(s) is dead.
4) Keep it relevant to Pokémon, please.
5) The shiny Victini is very passive. It doesn't use attacks, communicate via telepathy, or give anyone a hard time. Plus, it technically counts as my own character, me being the topic creator, so, yeah.
6) To let me know that you've read the rules, package up a copy each of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon including a note with your Bulbagarden username, and mail them to this address:
7)PLEEEASE try to preserve continuity in the game. If you don't, it bugs me, and I'm sure a lot of other people, too. It is IMPORTANT that your post shifts the possession of the shiny Victini from one character to another (in most cases, your own character), or at least restates who actually has it. We need to keep the game on track! ALSO IMPORTANT: When your post changes the status or location of any other characters or objects critical to the plot, try to state so CLEARLY, like with the Victini. We don't want to get confused!
8)Try to add at least something substantial to the story in your post. This is to prevent the thread from being filled with spammy, irrelevant, or inconsequential posts.
9)Don't make it impossible for the next player to post something relevant that continues the game. For example, no killing the Victini, no being too obscure about your character's actions, no stashing away the Victini where it can literally never be accessed, etc. If you make a post and think someone else might have a hard time figuring out how to get the Victini or "save" themselves from a dangerous situation, you might want to hint at how they can accomplish that.
10)Most importantly, have fun!

Just kidding.

FORMER PHASES:
Divine Banishment: Whatever team of six Pokémon you have at this point are all you get! You're banished with me in a barren alternate dimension!
Paleokémon:
We're stuck in the prehistoric Pokémon World! As a rule of thumb, disallowed Pokémon are mammalian, avian, artificial or otherwise "modern."
The Future is Now, Thanks to Science:
We're in the future! You can use future tech, but not mechanical Pokémon, as they're being controlled!
Mystery Dungeon Mayhem:
We're in the universe of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon! No people here, just lots of talking Pokémon.
