We present sub-arcsecond resolution HCN (4-3) and CO (3-2) observations madewith the Submillimeter Array (SMA), toward an extremely young intermediate-massprotostellar core, MMS 6-main, located in the Orion Molecular Cloud 3 region(OMC-3). We have successfully imaged a compact molecular outflow lobe (~1500AU) associated with MMS6-main, which is also the smallest molecular outflowever found in the intermediate-mass protostellar cores. The dynamical timescale of this outflow is estimated to be <100 yr. The line width dramaticallyincreases downstream at the end of the molecular outflow ({\Delta}v~25 kms^{-1}), and clearly shows the bow-shock type velocity structure. The estimatedoutflow mass (~10^{-4} M_{sun}) and outflow size are approximately 2-4 ordersand 1-3 orders of magnitude smaller, while the outflow force (~10^{-4} M_{sun}km s^{-1} yr^{-1}) is similar, as compared to the other molecular outflowsstudied in OMC-2/3. These results show that MMS 6-main is a protostellar coreat the earliest evolutionary stage, most likely shortly after the 2nd coreformation.
