Chapter 119: Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice [119]
Through studying ancient texts, Kodai discovered that whenever Celebi traveled through time, it left behind an energy known as Temporal Ripples.
This energy would linger at the location where Celebi traveled through time for a period before dissipating.
Ten years ago, Kodai gained the ability to occasionally glimpse fragments of the future by absorbing the energy of these Temporal Ripples.
However, this power was not eternal and gradually weakened with time.
To sustain his ability to foresee the future, Kodai relentlessly used his influence and power to search for traces of Celebi, aiming to once again absorb the Temporal Ripple energy.
...
Upon learning that Kodai's target was Celebi, Stephen finally remembered who this character was—the villain from the animated movie The Master of Illusions: Zoroark.
It's not that Stephen was forgetful, but to borrow a line from Dracule Mihawk: "I don't bother remembering the names of nobodies."
While Kodai was technically a boss-level character, his strength was so underwhelming that he left no lasting impression on Stephen.
In fact, in that movie, he barely felt like the true boss. It was the Zoroark he manipulated that stood out—transforming into the legendary beast and fooling an entire city single-handedly.
Once Zoroark realized its child was safe and no longer under Kodai's control, this white-haired idiot—sporting a hairstyle eerily similar to Garchomp's head—was promptly defeated.
