Elite? No one is elite, except for the administrators of Ourworld.

Though some people do put elite in their usernames. Ex: OW Elite Kandi.

You can get it from one of the GameFreak guys in Celadon City (3rd floor in the condominium). It doesn't go in your pokegear but in the bag under Key Items. For the Hoenn and Sinnoh sounds you have to tune into your radio at every Wednesday and Thursday after you beat the Elite Four.
