The baby celesteela only showed up in the story from 200 years ago, and Sophocles only found the spire on celesteela's head. It could also be that Sophocles had his story off. A theme in the episode was that celesteela wasn't what it seemed to him at first. For example, the Celesteela in his story took off with no sign of it since. Also, it didn't burn the villagers alive when it launched. Lusamine also said that the portal opened 200 years ago and that the celesteela that they found buried was there for 200 years.
