The forces of natureThe forces of nature in their Therian Formes
Long ago, Tornadus had a huge conflict with the Bolt Strike Pokémon:Thundurus. They battled overMilos Island and caused a lot of damage, endangering many people and Pokémon, untilLandorus appeared to break them up. With the help of aGothorita, Landorus was soon able to calm Tornadus and his rival; sending them away from the island. Prior to this a shrine was erected on Milos Island to keep Tornadus from returning.
AfterTeam Rocket destroyed Tornadus's shrine inThe Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!, he returned to Milos Island inStopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1 whileLewis and his Gothorita were praying for fertility at Landorus's obelisk. He instantly attackedAsh and co with hisHurricane attack and caused damage to the forest withAir Slash. While Ash,Iris and Lewis fled to check on Tornadus's shrine, the Cyclone Pokémon battled withCilan and hisPansage. Being far stronger than Pansage, Tornadus was able to easily shrug off hisBullet Seed andSolarBeam before defeating him. Thundurus soon appeared, having also had his shrine destroyed by Team Rocket, and confronted Tornadus. The two begin fighting once again, while briskly smacking downAsh's Pikachu,Snivy,Iris's Excadrill andCilan's Stunfisk, who were attempting to stop their fight. As a result of their battle, the island turned chaotic and many wild Pokémon fled, as Ash and the others went to pray again for Landorus's help.

InStopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2, Landorus appears before Tornadus and Thundurus, asking them to calm their rage, though to no avail. The battle became a three-way melee between the three Legendary Pokémon, with neither of them showing signs of fatigue. Suddenly, Tornadus and his opponents were surrounded by small laser beams that formed a cage around each of them and they were brought up toDr. Zager's helicopter. Despite their power, Tornadus and the others were unable to break free. A combination of Pikachu'sThunderbolt,Roggenrola'sFlash Cannon,Axew'sDragon Rage,Emolga'sHidden Power and Pansage's SolarBeam that also proved unable to destroy the cages, managed to damage the helicopter, forcing Dr. Zager to drop the cargo hold and freeing thetrio ofLegendary Pokémon. While Team Rocket fled, Tornadus resumed fighting his opponents and eventually managed to cause serious damage to Landorus alongside Thundurus. Having the Abundance Pokémon cornered, Tornadus and Thundurus prepared to finish Landorus off, but Lewis's Gothorita usedPsychic to send him aRevival Herb; giving Landorus the strength to useProtect, repeating what happened before. Tornadus took a massive hit from Landorus'sHyper Beam, before then being healed and finally listening to reason.
Tornadus later helped rejuvenate Milos Island by summoning rain to help Landorus's seeds grow, and used Hurricane to spread the newly grown Revival Herb spore across Milos Island, before departing.
InUnova's Survival Crisis!,Giovanni used theReveal Glass to summon the trio, force them into their Therian Forme, and control them. He battled aggressively in the skies withIris's Dragonite,Cynthia's Garchomp, Ridley'sGolurk and Cilan's Pansage under Giovanni's command and were still unable to control himself even after Team Rocket fled the scene. Eventually he was calmed byMeloetta's song and turned back to his Incarnate Forme before leaving.

Iris, dressed up as a shrine maiden, summoned Landorus inStopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2 with the help ofLewis'sGothorita in order to have Tornadus and Thundurus cease the fighting. He battled the two untilTeam Rocket andDr. Zager arrived and caged the forces of nature with their energy fields. The energy fields were attached to Dr. Zager's helicopter.Ash,his friends, and Lewis tried freeing them with their Pokémon, but their attacks were rendered useless on the energy fields. They went for the helicopter instead and Dr. Zager released control of Landorus, Tornadus, and Thundurus, and fled along with Team Rocket. The battle between the forces of nature continued and Landorus struggled to avoid Thundurus and Tornadus's onslaught, which gave the two a chance to inflict damage on Landorus. Gothorita gave Landorus a Revival Herb to fully recover his strength. Now fully healed, Landorus fired aHyper Beam at Tornadus and Thundurus. He was then finally able to convince the two to stop their fighting.
Landorus helped regrow the crops of Revival Herbs on Milos Island and then departed with the other members of the forces of nature.
