Koraidon

Koraidon is a Legendary Pokémon species that appears in *Consequences*. Xabeth is forcibly transformed into one as punishment for unleashing Koraidon and many other Ancient Pokémon through a time machine.

## **Appearance**

In its Apex Build, Koraidon is a large bipedal reptilian Pokémon with a predominantly scarlet body. It has white markings on its tail, cheeks, legs, and abdomen. There is a large black, white, and red semicircular protrusion on its chest akin to a rubber tire or wheel, and it has a rough texture. The base of Koraidon's tail also resembles a tire, and it can form a rear "wheel" by curling up its tail. A large feathery plume sits on top of its head, along with a pair of long, winding antennae; both of them are mainly white with pink and then blue bases. Its rear has an even larger plume of the same color. There are four clawed digits on each of Koraidon's hands and feet, which have black padding on the palms and soles. The middle two digits also have black pads and white webbing between them. Blue frills run down the back of its neck, and a blue curved structure similar to a handlebar sits on each shoulder. There are two small blue feathers on each elbow. It has yellow eyes with brown slit pupils and a jagged mouth.

Aside from this build, Koraidon can assume four other forms depending on the situation to facilitate travel. In its other Builds, Koraidon becomes quadruped and its chest wheel is pulled in, only leaving the black portion. Its central fingers and toes are adjacent to each other so that the webbing between them isn't visible. Its plumes are closed and folded, though in its Limited Build, its tail remains extended. In its other three Builds, Koraidon curls up its tail. When in Sprinting Build, it runs on all fours, though several individuals in *Consequences*, including Xabeth, are seen using their "wheels" to get around like they were a motorcycle. In Swimming Build, Koraidon inflates its "wheels" for floatation and swims using its webbed feet to paddle in the water. In Gliding Build, its antennae are unraveled into wings that allow it to fly or glide.

## **Origin**

Koraidon originated from the ancient past, though where specifically is unknown. Professor Sada brought two Koraidon to the present day and coined the Pokémon's name.

## **Evolution**

Koraidon doesn't evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

## **Behavior**

Koraidon is normally cautious around people, though it is also impulsive and curious enough to sometimes interact and play with them. It is aware of its immense strength and derives its confidence from it, never afraid of its opponents. In its Apex Build, it dominates the battlefield using its strength and natural weapons. Pokémon Scarlet has shown that Koraidon can be aggressive to other members of its species.
