They are based on kami in Japanese myth - {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder, and {{wp|Inari (mythology)|Inari}}, the kami of fertility, respectively. | The '''kami trio''' is a collective term to refer to the all-male [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}.

On visiting the Abundant Shrine with both Tornadus & Thundurus in the party, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the a folktale of how "Great Landorus" punished the two other legendary pokemon for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious thunderstorms & fierce gales. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land - saved from the danger posed by the Bolt Strike & Cyclone pokemon - constructed a shrine in honour of Landorus. | |||
