Grings Kodai: Difference between revisions

Twenty years later, Kodai's right-hand man [[Goone]] introduced him to his new executive secretary, [[Rowena]], at the Kodai Network Group's headquarters in [[Nimbasa City]]. During the meeting, he experienced a future vision that showed him returning to Crown City, the reappearance of the Time Ripple, and the rampage of the [[legendary beasts]] and a {{p|Zoroark}} in the city. The vision faded before clearly conveying how these events were connected, leading Kodai to realize his powers were fading. Musing about this later, he decided to follow the vision and developed a plan to restore his powers by absorbing the new Time Ripple, even at the cost of Crown City's restored greenery. He captured {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}} and her child {{OBP|Zorua|M13}}, then announced he would enter the [[Pokémon Baccer World Cup]] in Crown City using a team called the Nimbasa Legends, comprised of {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Suicune}}, attracting significant media attention. En route to the city aboard his flying boat with Goone and Rowena, he used holograms of the legendary beasts to train Zoroark to imitate them using her {{a|Illusion}} [[Ability]]. He then separated her from Zorua, blackmailing her with his safety to force her into following his demands. Although Zorua managed to escape, this did not harm Kodai's plan, as Zoroark was unaware of that fact and Kodai could still use projections of Zorua to convince her.

Kodai's earlier vision revealed that the Time Ripple was located near one of the Pokémon Baccer World Cup countdown clocks found throughout the city, and thus he visited each of them one at a time, scanning the area to search for it using Shuppet's {{m|Foresight}} and using a map programmed into his hoverboard to narrow down the potential locations. As he explored the city, he reminisced to the day Goone introduced him to Rowena, the same day he realized he had to find the Time Ripple again to restore his powers. He was interrupted by a security alert that revealed Ash, his friends and Karl were still in Crown City, fulfilling his vision. Kodai summoned Goone to capture them and confronted them in person, warning that they would not be able to stop him due to his ability to see the future. He then had Goone place them in captivity aboard his ship before joining him to continue searching for the Time Ripple.

Kodai then caught up to Ash and the real Celebi before they could reach the Time Ripple and ensnared them with Mismagius's {{m|Psychic}}. Zoroark arrived and attempted to attack him, but he tortured Zorua with electricity to hold her at bay. Kodai approached the Time Ripple, released Zorua and touched it with his claw, absorbing its powers and setting in motion a repeat of the disaster he had caused twenty years earlier. Declaring victory, Kodai arrogantly confessed everything he had done to Ash, boasting that nobody would ever know what he had done in the past or present, and that the public would see him as the hero who defeated the evil Pokémon Zoroark. However, time suddenly paused and reversed, undoing Kodai's victory. The entire landscape vanished, revealing that everything that had just taken place was actually Zoroark's illusion, which Kodai failed to detect due to his Illusion Canceler being broken when Zorua bit him. Rowena and Karl revealed themselves, having recorded his entire confession on video. With the tide decisively turned against him, Kodai attempted to attack Zorua, only for Zoroark to protect her child. He attacked her in a rage with his robotic claw, violently electrocuting her as he fumed that she would pay for thwarting him. Zoroark managed to muster enough strength to break free with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, destroy the claw and help defeat his Pokémon, leaving Kodai completely beaten. He tried to run for the Time Ripple, only to be cornered by the real {{mov|Legendary beasts|three Legendary beasts|13}}, forcing him to flee. He ran into the stadium, where Zoroark cast an illusion to trick him into thinking he was aboard his ship before cancelling the illusion, making him fall onto the stadium field and knock himself unconscious.

Kodai awoke a short time later, only to discover the video Karl filmed playing throughout the city, revealing his true evil to the public. He was then arrested by [[Officer Jenny]] and brought to prison, putting an end to his ambition for good.

|desc=One of Kodai's Pokémon is a {{p|Mismagius}}, which he has owned since it was a {{p|Misdreavus}}. Years ago, when Kodai first discovered the [[Time Ripple]], Misdreavus was present at the scene. After evolving, Mismagius still served Kodai faithfully and helped him by using its {{m|Psychic}} attack to prevent {{Ash}} from stopping Kodai from taking the energy from the Time Ripple and renewing his ability to see the future showing that it is just as bad as Kodai. Mismagius was later defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

Years later, Shuppet was shown to be fiercely loyal to Kodai and obeyed his orders without question even though Kodai's eventual goal would end up wiping out all of the plant life in [[Crown City]] proving it to be just as bad as Kodai. It was shown to be ruthless in its obedience, as it attacked {{OBP|Zorua|M13}} from behind when it attempted to run to {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}} but was defeated thanks to Zoroark's {{m|Dark Pulse}}.

* '''Amphibious vehicle''': A four-wheel drive, SUV-like car capable of driving in water just as well as on land. It is equipped with the illusion generator as well as remote-controlled saucers that can generate electrified iron crates. The unfolding arms in the back of the car can then tow the crate around.

* '''Pen camera''': A homing, flying camera disguised as a pen that can be used for spying. Its weakness is the loud buzzing it makes while flying.
