Chapter 804: The Harvest Tree
After nearly half an hour had passed, Petal suddenly stopped her work and exclaimed, "I\'ve found it, I\'ve found it."
"Found what? What is it?" Yuga asked eagerly, his curiosity piqued about the mysterious tree on Torterra\'s back.
"It\'s the Harvest Tree of Landorus," Petal muttered quietly, as if she were speaking to herself or answering Yuga\'s question.
"What? The Harvest Tree of Landorus?" Yuga knew about Landorus, one of the Force of Nature in the Unova Region, but he had never heard of a Harvest Tree.
Momoji was equally curious. She had heard of Landorus, but like Yuga, she was unfamiliar with the concept of a Harvest Tree.
Among the Unova Region\'s Force of Nature Trio, Landorus was the only one with a benevolent reputation. The other two, Thundurus and Tornadus, were associated with chaos and destruction.
Landorus was known as the God of Abundance and was often referred to as the God of Harvest due to its role in absorbing the power of wind and lightning to enrich the land, preventing the devastation caused by Thundurus and Tornadus.
The Harvest Tree\'s name might have been derived from Landorus\'s reputation as the God of Abundance.
"What is the Harvest Tree?" Momoji asked directly, voicing the question that was on both her and Yuga\'s minds.
"Oh..." It was as if Petal had suddenly snapped out of her trance. She looked somewhat embarrassed as she glanced at Yuga, then operated the holographic screen in front of her to display some information, explaining the origin of the Harvest Tree to Yuga and Momoji.
Landorus\'s title as the God of Abundance was well-deserved, as it had the unique ability to absorb the power of wind and lightning and transform it into energy that enriched the land.
This was why, whenever Thundurus and Tornadus clashed, Landorus could successfully intervene, revitalizing the devastated earth.
In a sense, Landorus existed to balance the powers of Thundurus and Tornadus.
Because of its constant absorption of the energy from wind and lightning, any place where Landorus resided was lush and teeming with life.
Seeing this, Yuga couldn\'t help but think of the underground world he had discovered in the Unova Region. It was likely born from this energy.
Because the area where Landorus resided was so abundant with life, there was a high chance of a magical seed being born there, which would eventually sprout and grow into a Harvest Tree.
"A magical seed? What\'s so magical about the Harvest Tree?" Yuga asked curiously.
Petal shook her head and said, "I don\'t know. What I\'ve shown you is all excerpted from ancient texts. The texts describe the Harvest Tree, but they don\'t provide details about its magical properties because the records are incomplete."
As she spoke, Petal\'s tone was filled with regret. She continued, "Although there are records, no one has actually seen a Harvest Tree."
Petal then displayed an image of a tree on the holographic screen. While the tree\'s shape was different from the one on Torterra\'s back, the shape of the leaves was identical, making it clear that these were the same type of tree.
Hearing Petal\'s explanation, Yuga felt somewhat disappointed. He now knew the identity of the tree, but it didn\'t seem to serve any practical purpose.
Just as Yuga was feeling disheartened, Petal turned to the next page of the holographic screen and continued, "According to some Scientists\' speculations, the Harvest Tree is actually a miraculous plant born from the combined energies of Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus, the Trio Legendary Pokémon. It must have some incredible properties."
However, since no one had ever seen this plant, its specific miraculous qualities remained unknown.
As Petal continued to scroll through the holographic screen, she finally reached a section that piqued Yuga\'s interest.
According to ancient texts, the Harvest Tree bore a type of Berry. However, the texts didn\'t describe what the Berry looked like, whether it was edible, how it tasted, or its potential effects, as this part of the texts was damaged.
"You mean the Harvest Tree bears Berry?" Yuga was quite surprised, as he had never seen the tree on his Torterra\'s back produce flowers or Berry.
Not to mention the Harvest Tree; even regular Torterra trees bore Berry on their backs, and many Pokémon enjoyed the nutritious and delicious Berry produced by Torterra or Grotle.
For Pokémon, the Berry from Torterra or Grotle\'s back was both nutritious and tasty.
However, Yuga\'s Torterra had never once produced flowers or Berry. He had always found this strange but hadn\'t been able to determine the reason. He had assumed it was because the tree on its back was unique, not an original feature.
Petal nodded and said, "Yes, it does bear Berry. However, I can\'t say for sure about the tree on your Torterra\'s back. The texts don\'t record any instances of a Harvest Tree growing on other Pokémon."
She had just finished speaking and before Yuga could inquire further, she quickly added, "The reason your tree might not bear Berry could also be because it didn\'t grow in Landorus\'s habitat."
Yuga swallowed the words he was about to say. Well, now it was entirely uncertain whether his Harvest Tree could bear Berry or not.
"Since you have the Harvest Tree, does that mean you\'ve been to Landorus\'s habitat?" Momoji suddenly realized the crucial point and asked Yuga with astonishment.
Petal also grasped the importance of this question, eagerly looking at Yuga.
"Tell us quickly, where is Landorus\'s habitat?"
Landorus\'s ability to make Grass-type Pokémon flourish greatly interested Momoji. Of course, she had no intention of trying to capture Landorus; she knew that was beyond her capabilities. But as a breeder specializing in Grass-type Pokémon, she couldn\'t help but be curious.
"I\'m sorry, but I can\'t answer that question," Yuga said apologetically to both of them.
The underground world where Landorus and Virizion lived had already been taken over by the League, and Yuga couldn\'t disclose information about it.
Agreements existed between the League and orderly Legendary Pokémon like Landorus and Virizion. The League couldn\'t interfere with their lives, disclose their information, and had the responsibility to protect them.
Momoji and Petal, despite being intelligent, understood the intricacies of the situation. Seeing Yuga\'s troubled expression, they knew he had his reasons and didn\'t press further.
"Let me tell you about the results of my examination of your Torterra," Petal said naturally, steering the conversation away from the sensitive topic.
Due to the uniqueness of Yuga\'s Torterra with the Harvest Tree, its body structure differed significantly from a typical Torterra. Through this detailed examination, Yuga gained a deeper understanding of his Torterra.
