Unknown 2003 Japanese Cosmo Holographic Darkness & Metal Energies



A while ago, I found Japanese cosmo holographic prints (second row) of the metal and darkness Energy from 2003 (see copyright at the bottom).
Initially, I thought they were from the Torchic and Mudkip constructed deck, but they are not supposed to be holographic (first row).

I saw people online mistakenly refering to it as a 2006 award from Gym Challenges even though that one print is supposed to have a 2006 copyright and be a regular holographic (I found picture online of that one version)

According to Bulbapedia, it seems cosmo holographic prints were awarded as a prize to those who attended the Pokemon e-league in January 2004 but from my understanding, it's refering to an English print, not a Japanese print.
Also, there is no Japanese print listed for 2003 or 2004 promos in Bulbapedia's ADV-P Promotional cards list.

Does anyone know where they come from? Is it a non-listed award from a 2003 or 2004 Gym Challenge in Japan? Does such events even exist?
