After subduing Thundurus and Tornadus, Landorus flew to Tornadus's side and retrieved the Reveal Glass from its body.
Zapdos and Moltres watched curiously as Landorus turned the mirror surface of the Reveal Glass toward Tornadus. A beam of light shot from the glass, enveloping the green figure, which transformed into a shadowy form before being absorbed into the glass.
Zapdos and Moltres stood stunned — they hadn't expected the Reveal Glass to function like an alternative Poké Ball.
Landorus then used the same method to capture Thundurus.
With both threats contained, Landorus and Enamorus approached the two birds to express their gratitude. Without their timely intervention, they wouldn't have known how to resolve the situation.
Zapdos cried out dismissively, indicating no thanks were needed, then inquired about their plans.
The battle had left most of them in poor condition. While Moltres remained largely unharmed, Zapdos, Landorus, and Enamorus had sustained serious injuries. Their wounds would take time to heal, making it impossible for Landorus and Enamorus to cross the ocean back to Unova.
As they considered their options, Moltres suggested, "Why don't we stay temporarily with that human child, Cole? His place isn't far from here."
Zapdos's eyes lit up at this excellent suggestion.
After Zapdos explained Cole's situation, Landorus and Enamorus readily agreed. If these two trusted the human child, then he must be worthy of their trust as well.
The four weary legendary Pokémon began their slow journey toward Mt. Ascendant.
Before departing, Landorus and Enamorus gazed remorsefully at the battle-scarred land below. Together, they channeled their powers to restore life to the earth.
Landorus, the Guardian of the Fields, and Enamorus, the Herald of Spring, combined their divine powers. Where their energy touched, new life sprouted from the earth.
Under their influence, withered trees burst with fresh growth, dead flowers and grass sprang back to life, and the landscape was restored to an even more vibrant state than before.
As the wild Pokémon emerged from their hiding places and saw their rejuvenated home, they filled the air with joyous cheers.

At this moment, Cole had no idea that four legendary Pokémon were heading to his home. When he reached his orchard and saw the devastation before him, he nearly fainted.
"Oh my goodness, how are we supposed to survive?!" He shouted, not caring about the mud splashed across his body.
Most of the berry trees in the orchard were broken, and those still standing had been blown over by the strong winds. All the berries, both ripe and unripe, lay scattered on the ground — the losses were immeasurable.
Years of effort had been destroyed in a single storm.
Daisy, Chikorita, Larvitar, and Buneary, who had followed Cole, stood stunned. Daisy especially, knowing how much care and effort he had put into cultivating these berry trees, felt heartbroken.
"Gardevoir~"
She walked to his side and gently held him in her arms.
Cole buried his head in his mom's chest, remaining silent for a long while.
Seeing their sadness, Chikorita and Larvitar approached his sides. One nuzzled his leg with its small head, while the other hugged his other leg with its tiny claws, both trying their best to comfort him.
Buneary looked uncertainly between Chikorita and Larvitar before following their lead, running to Cole's side and jumping up to hug his arm.
After a long while, Cole pulled away from Daisy's embrace and lifted his face to address the Pokémon.
"Oh well, it's okay! It's not a big deal — we just lost some berries. The trees can still be saved. We'll just miss out on profits this season."
Seeing his forced smile, Daisy felt terrible but still managed an encouraging smile.
"Gard~ Gardev~ Gardevoir~" — That's right, it's no big deal. My dear is so capable, we can handle a loss like this! After all, we haven't hit rock bottom — we can always start over!
"Chiko~"
"Low~"
"Bune~"
The three little ones didn't understand much, but seeing them finally smile, they started jumping and cheering along.
"Alright, let's start cleaning up the orchard!" Cole said with renewed determination, the gloom in his heart beginning to lift.
"Garde~"
"Chiko~"
"Low~"
"Bune~"
The four Pokémon cheered in response and joined him in the work, undeterred by the muddy ground from the recent storm.
Soon after, more help arrived — the Talonflame patrol team, the Diggersby family of three, and Machamp came one by one. Seeing the orchard's devastation, their hearts sank at the damage to the place they had worked so hard to protect.
Yet Cole's encouragement lifted their spirits, and they eagerly joined the cleanup effort.
Brionne, Helioptile, and Vaporeon arrived last. Though shocked by the orchard's state, they had no time to dwell on it as the other Pokémon quickly pulled them into the work.
Cole, busy with the tasks at hand, couldn't even pause to ask about their findings.
The group worked efficiently together — clearing broken branches and leaves to one side while sorting fallen berries between ripe and unripe.
Just then, four legendary Pokémon materialized before Cole, nearly causing him to lose his balance.
They had used concealment techniques to remain hidden from others, which explained why Cole hadn't noticed their approach until their sudden appearance.
"You... you..."
Cole could barely form words, while the other Pokémon in the orchard held their breath, overwhelmed by the legendary beings' powerful presence.
"Human, we meet again." Zapdos said.
After collecting himself, Cole replied, "Good to see you again, hello."
He glanced at Landorus and Enamorus, puzzled by their presence. Were they visiting the Sea Spirit's Den? Why had they come to his property?
Not yet connecting these legendary Pokémon to the earlier storm, Cole remained confused — after all, among the four, only Zapdos was known to have any association with storms.
Moreover, even though Zapdos could use Rain Dance to stir up storms, it couldn't have created something as intense as what had happened earlier.
"I... I wonder what brings you all here?" Cole stammered.
"Well, it's like this..."
Zapdos explained about Thundurus and Tornadus, then asked if they could stay temporarily to recover from their injuries.
After hearing the explanation, Cole finally understood the cause of that strange storm, and he silently cursed Thundurus and Tornadus.
When gods clash, it's the little folks who suffer.
Still, he nodded and agreed to Zapdos's request — this was a great opportunity to build relationships with legendary Pokémon!
"Thank you, Cole!" Zapdos said gratefully, finally calling him by name instead of "human".
Landorus looked at the orchard, ravaged by wind and rain, and asked, "Human, was your orchard destroyed in the recent storm?"
"Yes". Cole nodded.
Landorus and Enamorus exchanged glances, "To repay you and express our regret, we'll help restore your orchard."
Cole's eyes lit up. Could such good fortune be real? He had heard rumors that Landorus and Enamorus possessed such abilities.
"Thank you so much!" He exclaimed.
Cole watched as Landorus took out a mirror. With a flash of light, the unconscious Tornadus and Thundurus appeared on the ground.
What an amazing tool!
Looking at the two forces of nature, then at Zapdos, Moltres, Landorus, and Enamorus, Cole realized his orchard had reached peak prestige — six legendary Pokémon gathered at once.
However, Cole looked questioningly at Tornadus and Thundurus, confused why Landorus had released them — weren't they supposed to be helping restore the orchard?
Soon he heard the explanation and understood.
Landorus and Enamorus had depleted their power earlier while restoring life to the mountains. Being injured as well, they now needed to borrow power from Tornadus and Thundurus.
Landorus had always been able to keep Tornadus and Thundurus in check because of its special ability to absorb their wind and lightning power, converting it into energy that nourishes the soil and makes the earth abundant.
While Enamorus couldn't directly absorb wind and lightning power, it could receive this energy through Landorus.
Among the four cloud spirits, Tornadus and Thundurus were temperamental troublemakers, but Landorus could suppress them both. Though Landorus was the strongest, it was in turn bound by Enamorus.
Cole was fascinated to learn these secrets about the legendary Pokémon.
After the explanation, Landorus and Enamorus prepared their ritual.
Cole watched in awe as two cloud-like tendrils extended from the white cloud beneath Landorus, reaching into the clouds beneath Tornadus and Thundurus. At the same time, a tendril stretched from Enamorus's cloud into Landorus's.
This scene was unlike anything he had ever seen.
Streams of green energy and blue lightning flowed from Tornadus and Thundurus's clouds into Landorus's body. Soon after, yellow energy began flowing from Landorus into Enamorus.
As the process continued, Tornadus and Thundurus's faces contorted in pain, but the Reveal Glass kept them unconscious. Landorus showed no mercy, continuing to drain their energy.
Any kinship they might have once felt for these two troublemakers — despite being of the same kind — had clearly vanished.
Only when Tornadus and Thundurus were on the brink of convulsing did Landorus withdraw its cloud tendrils and seal them back into the Reveal Glass.
Though the absorbed wind and lightning power improved Landorus's condition somewhat, it couldn't heal their injuries — it only enhanced their strength. Enamorus remained similarly wounded.
"Alright, let's begin!"
With these words, Landorus lifted Enamorus into the air alongside it.
"Lando~"
With Landorus's cry, an earthen-yellow beam of light erupted from its body, shooting toward the ground and spreading outward in waves.
As the yellow energy seeped into the earth, Cole watched in amazement as vitality surged through the soil. The ground's color deepened and enriched, transforming even the most barren patches into fertile land.
The broken berry trees began to stretch out their branches and leaves, eagerly drinking in nutrients from the rejuvenated earth.
Landorus's power remained contained within the boundaries of Mt. Ascendant and Mt. Olympus — Cole's two mountains — to avoid causing widespread panic.
When Landorus finished releasing all the energy it had absorbed from Tornadus and Thundurus, the ground beneath Cole's feet had transformed completely. He could sense the abundant energy flowing through the earth's veins, as if the land itself was breathing, rejoicing, and expressing gratitude.
Then came Enamorus's turn. Its body began radiating pink light, sending a beam toward the ground in a display similar to Landorus's.
The effects, however, were quite different. As the pink energy spread outward, the berry trees in the orchard sprang back to life — fallen leaves sprouted anew, and broken branches began to heal.
But the restoration didn't stop there. After returning to their original state, the berry trees continued growing taller, becoming lush and towering. Though only a few years old, they now matched the size of trees that would normally take over a decade to mature, thanks to Enamorus's power.
The earth's rich vitality provided abundant nutrients for their growth. As the trees reached their full height, they burst into bloom and quickly bore fruit. The berries grew and ripened in mere moments.
Before long, the entire orchard was laden with berries — an even greater harvest than before the disaster!
