The book's contents proved to be so fantastical that Heath and the rest of the Area Zero Expedition were accused of lying and widely discredited.

The Team also discovered a strange plant in Area Zero and they called Herba Mystica, after trying to plant them in five different locations of Paldea, they abandoned the project when local Pokémon consumed the Herba Mystica and grew into fearsome Titans.
