The Time Flower is a special plant found in and around the Tree of Beginning. Composed almost entirely out of crystal, the Time Flower has the ability to view events taking place in the past. It can only be activated by a user of Aura, namely Sir Aaron, Ash, or Lucario. First seen in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, the Time Flowers take active recordings of what transpired in the past, accompanied by sounds from the era. Once activated, the Time Flowers contract and expand, immersing the viewers within the event recorded by the Time Flower.
The Flowers played a pivotal role in the film, as they were used to illustrate the battle between the two armies before Cameran Palace, and the reasoning behind Sir Aaron "betraying" Lucario.
Trivia
- Despite its clearly crystalline structure, it is unknown as to whether the Time Flowers are directly related to the Tree of Beginning, which is composed out of the same or similar crystal.
- According to Kidd Summers, It responded to Ash Ketchum because Sir Aaron's and Ash's aura were the same.
