Oh, look, I took time to write spoilerific journals. Well, not really journals. More like files from Ban's SUPER DUPER FILE COLLECTION (in his own words)
A man with white hair and wearing robes usually only seen in festivals walked up to a door on the second story of an office building. It was a wooden door with frosted glass, letters on the glass reading “Till Mitak, Private Investigator.” Below the letters was a note, stuck there by duct tape on all four sides. “On vacation, leave a message under the door.” The man tried the door and found it was locked. He looked around to make sure there was no one in sight, mouthed something to himself, and tried the door again. He grinned when he found the door was unlocked, and then went inside, quickly closing the door and locking it back up.
Another man, already inside the room, spoke. “Took you long enough.” That man, with black hair and wearing red and black military gear, was playing solitaire by himself using Till’s cleared desk. “So… this is the junction where everything meets, huh?” he spoke, both to the visitor and himself.
“Sorry I took so long. Was making sure my new piece was fitting in.” he smiled, before pulling out a card, displaying a five-pointed star. “The Star… the piece I put down this time will light the way to the truth. That is my desire.” He sat down on the chair before leaning back on it. “At least you’re not wearing a dress this time.” He said, smirking.
“And you’re grown up again, and not in chains this time.” The man cleared the playing cards off the desk and put down a checker board. He took a few black pieces from his pocket and set up his side of the board. “It’s been a long time since both of us haven’t been locked by the rules of the world.”
“Indeed it has.” That man put a few white pieces down on the checkerboard himself and smiled. “So, you want to make a proclamation first?”
“Of course.” Both of them had an evil grin, and they both declared. “As the Keeper of the Balance, I declare…”
“As the Director of the Past, I declare…”
“”This game will not have a happy ending.””

Background on the Ultimate Snag Machine
Written by Tom Seroto, edited by Ban Seroto
WARNING: this is a Reader interpretation on a Writer work.
PURPOSE: to remove the limitation on current snag machines (the bonds between trainers and their Pokemon have a negative impact on current snag machine models.
RESEARCH: success, at least one known model out in the wild, used by Giovanni. Current status of that model unknown.
KNOWN USES: At least one. Giovanni has used this snagger (or at least threatened use) in Celadon City, on a rescue mission.
From the files in an undisclosed location separated from the time and space where the pieces are:
NAME: Daniel “Dink” Keru
INTERNAL: Strength
BORN: Based on Red’s Kanto escapade, one year before, in Cerulean City
RELATIONSHIPS: Brother of Chris (Magician), Juniper: ___ (love-hate, most likely. Their relationship is quite silly, and is probably just a contest to see who can assassinate the most. Maybe.)
CURRENT STATUS: Dead
DIED: ___
LAST KNOWN ACTIVITY: a battle between Kyogre and Groudon. This battle happened at ____ approximately 20 years after Red-Kanto. Left alive, so death happened afterwards.
STATUS WHILE LIVING: Third in command for Cerulean, which has been occupied by Raiders.
(Note: too many discrepancies in this case. Worries me that this is one of my pieces. Dispatched Star to follow up, but no way to direct him towards… maybe.)
You guys are also free to write up files that Ban stores up somewhere, as long as I get to add cute notes around.
