Ten years prior to the events of the {{pkmn|movie}}, Dr. Zed worked for [[Chrom and Phossa Molybdenum]] at the Biotope Company. They researched the mysteries of the healing spring water in the [[Forest of Okoya]], seeking to locate its source. Chrom and Phossa eventually managed to acquire a sample of the spring water and were able to find its source, the Great Tree hidden somewhere deep in the jungle. However, when they realized the tree was a sacred place to the troop of {{p|Zarude}} living there, they decided to put their research on hold until they could find a way to approach the matter in a way more respectful to the tree's residents. This enraged Zed, who was unable to persuade Chrom to change his mind. Returning to his office, Zed recorded a video log about the project's postponement, only to suffer a psychotic break during the recording, trash the office and decide that he should lead the Biotope Company instead. He then pursued Chrom and Phossa in his car, running them off a road and causing a fiery wreck. Unaware that they had sent their infant son Al away in a cradle down the nearby river with their research contained in a pendant, Zed stole their sample of the spring water and left them to die in the subsequent explosion, swearing he would rebuild their work from scratch. Al was later found by one of the {{OBP|Zarude|M23}}, who named him {{OBP|Koko|M23}} and raised him as a son.

Dr. Zed assumed leadership of the Biotope Company as he had planned, and over the next ten years, sent research teams led by his aide [[Sharon]] to survey the Forest of Okoya. One day, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}} arrived at the Biotope Company's headquarters with Koko accompanying him, having discovered the feral boy's apparent connection to the organization via an old photograph of Chrom and Phossa wearing lab coats with the Biotope Company's logo on them as they held the infant Koko. Zed was surprised by the presence of Koko, who he quickly realized was actually the long-believed-deceased Al Molybdenum. After explaining Koko's parents' background to him, Zed admitted that they had died in an accident ten years prior and proved Koko's identity by scanning the boy's pendant. This scan produced a partially corrupted data file from which an image of the Great Tree was recovered, and when Koko reacted to the photograph, Zed realized that he knew where the Great Tree was. He asked Koko to tell him its location, but Koko pushed him away and fled.
