Based on Ryuto's shared intelligence.
Baimu confirmed that the Pokémon that had attacked him and Dragonite was Koraidon, the guardian dragon of Paradise.
From this, he could determine something else as well.
Ryuto probably had not arrived here much earlier than he had, even though Ryuto had disappeared into the future for nearly a month!

Baimu clutched the Space-Time Wristband pendant at his chest, yet the road ahead still felt shrouded in mist.

And who had sent him here? How were they supposed to get back?
He felt like he was playing an open-world game with no beginner's guide, on hard mode where equipment from the previous version could not be brought over.
