- lend their aid in the wars of men.

- and entrust them with special Sparkling Stones.

- however, is not at all apparent to observers.

- side could claim victory over the other.
- Upon finding themselves equals, the Legendary
- Pokémon then gifted the tapu with great power
- of unknown providence.
