The Location of Shaymin

"I found a few resources for you, Shiva. I hope this helps."

Pollution in Creshire - 2017 - Geddy Rakel
"..those areas of Creshire hospitable to human life have often been the first to reach measurable levels of smog and other airborne pollutants. The cities of the central part of the continent are the worst offenders south of the Great Divide. North of the Divide, the mountainous terrain and fast-moving rivers act as a sort of self-cleaning device, so significant pollution is not encountered until Corsage Port. The southeastern swamps of Creshire also filter a lot of pollution - wetlands are some of the most valuable biomes for this reason."

"...the Sunstone Mine in Elanor. Its emissions are particulate only, and are filtered easily by Gloom in the northeast. More worrying is the effect on Sunkern, whose pure Grass typing makes them susceptible to the effects of heavy metals and carbon pollution. Luckily, the act of evolution, prompted by Sunstone dust, gives a new lease on life to the little Sunkern. Evolution to Bellossom instead of Vileplume creates a marked decrease in what we might term 'odor pollution.' Northwest of Elanor, the rolling hills begin. The entire watershed washes to the southern fjords and sounds. Thus, south (downhill) of Elanor bears the worst pollution effects of the mine. A new initiative in 2014 is expected to..."



The Spring Festival - 1977 - Annie Wake
"...having plucked every other flower in the area. It was said the Gracidea flowers near Lake Chicory were worth the journey, but first, Mum said I should do something worthy of gratitude before making the trip there with my new Treecko. It couldn't be something as simple as chores or a gift. It had to be something heartfelt and true! But I won't record here what I decided to do...maybe someday when I grow bolder and more confident in the secrecy of these diary pages. You never know when Jace might hear about this!"

"From Trillium, to Stair City (more on that later), to Elanor, just in time for the Spring Festival. This will be the last one held in Elanor before they move it elsewhere to a town better able to support it. They say the logging is too dangerous. Oh, that reminds me! We went to visit the little grove where they'd tried to clearcut the last timber before the western savanna, only to be turned back by a horde of funny, prickly Grass Pokemon! Well, that didn't scare them, until they transformed and took to the air and drove the loggers off! I wish I had been there to see it. But I did plant my beautiful pink flower, my Gracidea I've taken care of so long, in the sacred grove. Well, sacred to me, and maybe to whichever Pokemon drove off the mean lumberjacks. I watered it with everything from springwater to tears, and the soil sure seems rich, and I really think it's going to take! Treecko, Machop and I moved a white boulder to guard the entrance. I wrote someone's name on it, but I won't tell who!!"


The Pokepedia Internationale (handwritten and handbound) - 1993 - Professor Samuel Querce

"...When the Gracidea flower is in bloom, its pollen allows Shaymin to change into its Sky Forme from its Land Forme. Shaymin also have a tendency to migrate. It can dissolve toxins in the air to instantly transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers. It lives in flower patches and avoids detection by curling up to look like a flowering plant. Too many toxins make the Pokemon ill, forcing a migration."
