As a young man, Grings Kodai traveled 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. With his {{p|Shuppet}} and {{p|Misdreavus}}, Kodai found Celebi's [[Time Ripple]] in the city and attacked Celebi to prevent its interference, then used a robotic arm to reach into the Time Ripple himself. The energy of the Time Ripple flowed into his body, initially causing him great pain, and triggered a backlash that caused all of the city's plant life to rot away. Standing among the ruins of the city's greenery, Kodai experienced a vision of the future, revealing his destiny to become a wealthy and powerful business tycoon using this new ability. He quickly set about accomplishing this goal, rising to power as the president of the '''Kodai Network Group''' <!--(Japanese: ''Kodai Network'')--> and gaining massive influence, including over the mainstream media.

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.

As dawn broke in Crown City, Kodai released Zoroark, blackmailing her into terrorizing the city in the guises of the Legendary Beasts. He had Rowena record this from multiple angles, and supervised her editing of the footage into a falsified video that made it appear the city actually was being destroyed when, in reality, it was all an illusion. During this, he experienced a vision that revealed Rowena would betray him, opposing him alongside {{Ash}}, {{ashfr|his friends}} and [[Karl]]. Kodai chose not to let on that he knew of Rowena's impending treachery. Once enough edited footage was compiled, Kodai initiated a broadcast in which he claimed that Zoroark was controlling his Nimbasa Legends team to destroy Crown City, and ordered the evacuation of the old town area so he could recapture them. All of this was a lie; he was actually removing any chance of his actions being discovered as he hunted for the Time Ripple, which he was able to confirm was present in the city once his cameras spotted {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}. Using a hoverboard, Kodai set out into the city alongside his Shuppet and {{p|Mismagius}} to hunt for the Time Ripple, leaving Rowena behind to continue broadcasting the announcement.

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.

By that evening, Kodai and Goone had finished checking every countdown clock, with the Time Ripple nowhere to be found. Kodai expressed confusion over his vision seemingly being incorrect, only to experience a new one that revealed he needed to capture Celebi to continue the search. They tracked Celebi to a large tree, where they discovered it hiding with Zorua, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Though they tried to resist, Kodai overwhelmed them with his and Goone's Pokémon, capturing Celebi as his vision had revealed. This caused him to see yet another vision, confirming he would be victorious in obtaining the Time Ripple, but Zorua leaped onto his face to protect Celebi and caused him to crash his hoverboard. Soon afterward, Ash, his friends, Karl and Rowena arrived, fulfilling his vision of their opposition to him. They were able to recover Celebi and escape, but Kodai confidently told Goone that he knew what would happen next and released a smaller camera drone to follow them.

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.

* '''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.
