It had something of the feel of an "auspicious site."
The Pokémon Resort emphasized the natural local environment and had deliberately chosen grounds that encompassed a Natural Energy Spot.
To predict the seasons, the Four Seasons God needed to repeatedly patrol the mountains over a wide area, passing by different Natural Energy Spots and sensing changes in type energy to judge the coming season before anyone else.
The Four Seasons God of Marker Mountain once had to set out from its habitat in a circuit past the surrounding Natural Energy Spots, then travel farther and farther in ever-widening circles until it had visited every Natural Energy Spot in the entire terrain region.
Then it repeated the process, over and over. Only then, like a researcher taking repeated samples, would the Four Seasons God produce its final research report and change its form. The Sawsbuck and other Deerling would change along with it.
After that, the Sawsbuck that had changed forms would split into small teams and head to different areas, letting the wild Pokémon see them and learn whether spring would come early or late that year and how heavy the winter snow would be.
The Pokémon Resort had blocked a Natural Energy Spot, leaving a gap in the Four Seasons God's patrol route. That was why Deerling had objected.
That Deerling had no ability to predict the seasons herself, so whether the Pokémon Resort occupied the Natural Energy Spot made no difference. Perhaps she also knew she was being a little unreasonable, and with her own kind having already given up, she had even less confidence.
