The sight inside the Time Machine's transport chamber left everyone stunned.
Even Xia Chi fell silent for a moment.
Their very first Time Machine experiment had pulled a cover legendary?
How was this any different from pulling an SSR on a single roll in a mobile game?
But that wasn't all. What shocked them even more was-
Miraidon, the cover legendary known as "Iron Serpent," supposedly the future form of Cyclizar, was being ridden and bullied by Iron Jugulis and Iron Thorns?
How could I be having a dream like this?

At the same time, Ogerpon used the momentum to
