As a young man, Grings Kodai travelled to Crown City after reading about its legends and history. In particular, he was interested in the city's relationship with {{p|Celebi}} and hoped to use the Pokémon's time travel abilities for his own ends. During an attempt to capture Celebi, Kodai ended up being connected through his capture device to Celebi's Time Ripple and absorbed its energy with the resulting shockwave completely wiping out all wildlife in Crown City. Kodai found that, although he had failed to capture Celebi, he had managed to gain the power to see visions of the future. Using this new ability, Kodai quickly became a rich and successful businessman.

Twenty years later, Kodai realized that his ability to see the future was starting to fade. He became desperate to renew them so decided to return to Crown City (which had managed, through the hard work of its citizens, to recover from the earlier disaster) and find another Time Ripple and absorb its energy regardless of the cost. Deciding to use the [[Pokémon Baccer World Cup]] as a cover, Kodai announced that he was entering his own team - the Nimbasa Legends containing {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. The idea that Kodai was entering a team of [[legendary Pokémon]] attracted a lot of interest, they were in fact holograms.

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]]. 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}}.

Kodai's vast wealth enables his access to a significant amount of high-tech equipment needed for his mission. Among the tools he is seen using:
* '''Illusion Core''': A small orb that can create a physical manifestation of artificial Pokémon data; very similar to [[Dr. Yung]]'s Mirage System.

* '''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.

* '''Robotic arm''': Originally appeared as a device contained within a [[bag|backpack]] with a large arm-mounted cannon. It was later streamlined into a durable cable with a claw at the end which could be hidden inside Kodai's sleeve. It is used to absorb the time ripple's energy, and the modern version can also discharge electricity to shock anything in its grasp. Its output is capable of reaching a high level of voltage that can mortally wound the powerful Zoroark, making it potentially deadly to anything smaller or weaker.
