The '''Forces of Nature''' is a collective term to refer to the all-male [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami trio''', '''cloud trio''', or '''legendary genies'''. They are based on {{wp|kami}} in Japanese mythology: {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and {{wp|Inari (mythology)|Inari}}, the kami of fertility, respectively. Likewise, they may also be thought of as representing the different domains of world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). | The '''Forces of Nature''' is a collective term to refer to the all-male [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}.

Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus. | Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine.

The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW60|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'' in which it was described that they once fought on [[Milos Island]]. Tornadus and Thundurus each had a shrine sealing them from returning to the island, but due to {{TRT}} destroying the shrines, they arrived and resumed their destructive rampage. As a result, [[Lewis]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a plan to use the [[Abundant Shrine]] on the island to call Landorus, who would stop the battle. Once Landorus finally appeared, the three fought viciously, eventually becoming tired out. At that point, Team Rocket attacked, with [[Dr. Zager]] using a weapon on his helicopter to trap the three in laser boxes so they could be taken away. When Ash and the others attacked the helicopter he was forced to release them, and they went back to fighting until Lewis's [[Revival Herb]] gave Landorus the strength to subdue Tornadus and Thundurus. The Forces of Nature then used their respective powers to heal Milos Island before leaving for good. | The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends!

Tornadus was next to appear; he clashed with Thundurus at an open field where a railway line passes through. [[Shauntal]] and {{adv|White}} witnessed the clash while on the [[Battle Subway]]; they also witnessed Landorus arriving to stop them from fighting. | In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Thundurus was the first of the Forces of Nature to appear.
