Was Koraidon every bit as strong as the Hoenn Duo?
Barely had that bold theory emerged before the footage that followed mercilessly crushed it.
The camera cut to Xia Chi back in the lab with Koraidon, who had clearly "backed down" and reined in its imposing presence considerably.
Although the actual battle had not been recorded, a glance at Ogerpon's calm, completely unscathed appearance, compared with Koraidon's drooping head and obvious signs of having taken a beating, was enough.
The outcome spoke for itself-
Koraidon, the "Winged King" from the ancient past, had been thrashed by Ogerpon, a very ill-mannered Legendary Pokémon from this era.
"Uh, losing to Ogerpon probably isn't anything to be ashamed of."
Blue tried to salvage poor Koraidon's dignity.
Professor Oak nodded too. "Indeed. Judging by the strength Ogerpon has demonstrated in the past, this doesn't mean Koraidon is weak. Quite the opposite-being able to hold its own against Ogerpon even briefly proves how powerful it is."
That concluded all the edited footage from the Time Machine's trial run.
It also meant that the main attraction promised by the second half of the video's title-
The grand unveiling of Paradox Pokémon was about to begin!
As the video transitioned on the screen, Blue suppressed his surging excitement and anticipation, unconsciously sitting a little straighter.
"Okay, Flutter Mane, ready?"
An off-camera voice came from the screen, followed by a gentle response.
"Woo~"
The image brightened, revealing Xia Chi and Flutter Mane.
Its demeanor and build made it clear that this was not Xia Chi's own Flutter Mane, which had undergone "Ancestral Evolution" from a Misdreavus.
"Next, we'll analyze and introduce Paradox Pokémon, starting once again with the Flutter Mane everyone is most familiar with."
Xia Chi smiled. "Let's see what characteristics a normal Flutter Mane usually has."
