"Legendary".
"Legend".
I won't define it for you, but no matter whether or not they exist (or are "messing around"), there'll certainly be stories about them, myths. Legends. They don't need to be seen to be believed.
Edit:
In regards to Pierce getting Enmakki, why not link it into his sidequest? Faynoc could have reawoken it at the laboratory in order to siphon its DNA. Or something along those lines, you'll think of something. Anyway, Pierce'll have unwittingly helped, maybe he helped deliver some of the poke-eggs that were sacriced to bring it to life. It'll hound us throughout the mission (I'm assuming our attack gives it a chance to escape and go out of control, which'll give plenty of opportunities for find grisly scenes with tons of eye-less corpses), and once we've fought Faynoc's minions, we'll have to hunt it down. At first we try to kill it, realize we can't do that, so Impact, or maybe Rayleen, tell Pierce that "you helped create it, you look out for it. Your responsibility."
That'll give plausible reasons for its introduction, and explain why Pierce would even want it.
And Menarker, the way I see the entire "Champion" thing is that they wouldn't take up a pokeball. They'd simply arrive when they're needed and disappear again afterwards. They'd be under our command throughout the entire battle, (though I'm thinking that maybe we couldn't revive them in battle), but they wouldn't take up space in our party.
Edit again:

As for tying it into Pierce's character development, well, I wanted Sam to live in Wintervale, and there's no reason for the Watchmen to operate in Wintervale, so she'd have to live in Fainas. But that just reeks of contrived coincidence.

Ca-ching.
We'll be fighting Faynoc in mission three, right? (I mean real mission three, no sidequests). And we'll have to calm down a religious riot. And Faynoc brainwashes people.
Pierce spots Sam near the end of the mission. Only she's wearing robes. And looking glassy-eyed. He doesn't tell anyone about it, but it's what motivates him to visit the facility. That's where he discovers all the other consequences of his actions. It all ends with him shouldering the burden of Enmakki, who haunts him with dreams of his sister dying.
