Back at the research institute, Sada AI and Turo AI worked tirelessly to repair the time machine. Their AI forms never needed rest, never slowed down.
Inside the humming depths of the research institute, the atmosphere was electric with excitement.
"The time machine is complete!" Professor Sada cried, adjusting her lab coat, her hand brushing against the necklace that resembled an ancient fang.
"Finally," Turo said, eyes gleaming. "At last, we'll witness the Pokémon spoken of in the Scarlet Book."
"Then let's begin! I want to see them with my own eyes!" Sada declared.
But Turo hesitated, a softer thought flickering across his face. "Sada… isn't Arven's eighth birthday coming soon?"
Her expression softened. "Perfect. We can bring back Pokémon from another era. Something wondrous, to keep him company."
The two exchanged a nod, their shared vision gleaming in their eyes. Together, they entered the activation codes.
"Whummm…"
The time machine pulsed, its core glowing as the walls lit with rhythmic flashes of violet and crimson.
The professors stared, tense, exhilarated.
And then, with a blinding flare of scarlet light, the first of destiny's threads was pulled.
When the glow receded, a powerful Pokémon stood before them, its scales crimson, its eyes golden.
The gears of fate turned.
Koraidon was born.
