Quite simply - through an
avatar (not of the Aang, Korra or Na'vi type, though).
Didn't you ever wonder how there can be so many supposedly rare or unique legendary Pokémon in people's possession? That's because they've never actually shown up personally!
When Arceus created the 'kings' (that's what I call the legendary Pokés with power over an elementary part of the world),
he only created self-conscious spirits with the power to
control specific aspects of the logical world he created (Pokémon Logic, still). These spirits keep creating
self-conscious avatars with powers to
reperesent their responsibility or reason in the universe.
These avatars are used to
observe the world and take influence on a logical base - in a way that
humans can observe and understand the changes. This prevents mankind from relying on the kings themselves as gods, since the avatars make it seem like
they don't fit the idea of a god or divine being (being omnipotent, undefinable, and inapproachable). It also protects them from
technological advances which could threaten them, as mankind has no apparent reason to search for the king's spirits in the first place.
Now,
if a trainer manages to catch it, he/she passed the
test the original king burdened him/her with. All a concept of developing new bonds between humans and Pokémon. And later on, the
king's avatar will be remade to fill the gap.
Arceus is a genius!---
