I foud the entire plotline of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2. It is a story of wonder, betrayl, tragedy, and heart-tugging moments. Here it is:
(Warning: Do not read unless spoiler-loving.)
Chapter 1 (Stormy Seas)
On a stormy night, you and a friend are caught up in a terrible turmoil, and are separated from each other. When you wake up, you find yourself at the seashore of an unknown land.
Elsewhere, your to-be-partner is having hesitations over entering the famous Wigglytuff's Guild. It possesses an odd item known as the Ruins Shard, and believes that it will lead it to a legendary place someday. Unfortunately, its monologue has been overheard by Zubat and Koffing, who belong to a team known as the Poison Rose.
Soon, your partner finds you on the seashore, and you are surprised that you have turned from a human into a Pokemon. Zubat and Koffing ambush your partner to snatch the Shard, and you two enter the 'Seashore Cave' to defeat them, and get the item back.
Talking things over, your partner tells you about its dream to go on expeditions, and since you can do nothing about your condition for the moment, you decide to partner up and head for Wigglytuff's Guild.
Chapter 2 (Joining the Guild)
Upon arrival, you two are 'identified' at the front door, and turns out Diglett, the watchman, identified incomers by their footprints. You two approach Chatot, who brings you to Wigglytuff, and the joyful Guild Master quickly accepts you two into the team, offering you the starters kit with a Mysterious Map, the Exploration Team Badge and a Treasure Bag.
Spending the first night in the Guild, you are awaken by Loudred, and then receive your first mission the next day, which is retrieve the lost pearl of Spoink. You enter the 'Damp Rockground', and complete the mission.
Chapter 3 (The Space-time Calling)
Chatot tells Bidoof to take you guys around town, and soon you come to the Kecleon Bros. Shop in Treasure Town, where you encounter an Azurill and its brother Marill. Azurill trips and drops an apple, and when you hand it back to it, the brief body contact makes you hear a cry for help.
Later, you see a Drowzee agreeing to help the 'Rills retrieve a lost item, but when you bump into Drowzee, the 'cry' becomes clear, and you actually get a vision of Azurill being cornered by Drowzee. Thinking that you are overreacting, your partner accompanies you back to the Guild.
However, after Bidoof shows you the criminal list, you are astounded to see Drowzee's photo on there, and you two quickly head out, only to bump into Marill who claims that Azurill have gone missing. So you head to the 'Mt. Spike', and saves Azurill who refuses to help Drowzee retrieve some treasures in a small hole.
You see Treasure Town's police force, Magnezone and his Magnemites, and they take Drowzee away. That night, your partner tells you about a mystical item known as the Time Wheel, which is present in forests, lakes, volcanoes, and are responsible for guarding time.
Yet, at the Kisaki Forest, a Grovyle shrouded in shadow lurks, and steals the Time Wheel there.
Chapter 4 (The Watchman Post)
One fine morning, Diglett requests that you two help out with the watchman's post coz it has to help Dugtrio. Identify Pokemon by their footsteps, and you get a reward based on your score.
Chapter 5 (The First Exploration)
The next morning, news about the disappearance of the Time Wheel at the Kisaki Forest spreads, and everyone is appalled that time has completely ceased in the forest. Lt. Magnezone will be investigating things, and so there's nothing to do about it as yet.
Chatot bestows upon you the first mission, and you two go to explore the mysterious waterfall. There, you get a 'calling' again, and learns of the way to enter the waterfall. At the top floor, you get another 'calling', but it's too late to prevent an incoming flood to propel you out. Interestingly, you land in an outdoor hotsprings run by old man Torkoal, and thus you head back to the Guild.
Over dinner, Chatot announces that Wigglytuff has decided to hold a long expedition to a distant spot, and everyone is excited, hopiong to be selected as a participant. That night, you and your partner talk over your ability, and concludes that when you come into contact with something, you seem to be able to foretell what is going to happen, or what has happened.
Chapter 6 (Poison Rose)
It is soon known that the leader in the Poison Rose expedition team is a stinky Skuntank, and everyone is not too pleased that they are joining the Guild. One night, the three steal all the food within the Guild, and thus Chatot sends you off to get some World's Best Food apple at the 'Apple Forest', because they are Wigglytuff's favourite food.
You head to 'Apple Forest', but then before you mange to get the apples, Poison Rose knocks you out and snatches them all away, and embarrasses you in front of Chatot and Wigglytuff that night in the Guild, causing you to lose some of your reputation, and on Chatot's angry command, your dinner as well.
Fortunately, your friends at the Guild smuggle some food for you two, and you are grateful for the friendship you've built up within the Guild. Over dinner that night, Chatot announces that the participant list of the expedition will be announced the next day, and everyone is happy except you two, because you are sure that you won't get selected. Late at night, Grovyle ambushes another spot again, and steals yet another Time Wheel, claiming that 3 more are needed.
The next morning, to everyone's surprise, everyone's name is on the list, and it means it will be a whole-Guild expedition this time, with the destination to the Fog Lake. Chatot and Skutank protest, attempting to get you kicked off the exploration, but Wigglytuff kindly says that mistakes are made by everyone. You are separated into teams, and Bidoof joins your team.
Chapter 7 (The Long Expedition)
On your journey, you go through a range of twin-dungeons, one long, one short. The short ones are not mandatory like in MD1, because you will need to get through the long ones to proceed.
Go through 'Small Path/Shoreline Rockground' and 'Rock Path/Mt. Horn', and you will arrive at the Fog Lake area.
Chapter 8 (The Groudon Statue)
Arriving at the campsite, you find yourself strangely familar with the place. Chimecho talks about how a legendary Pokemon named Uxie inhabits the area, and has the ability to wipe out people's memories. You start to wonder if you have been there before, and Uxie wiped out your memory.
The team then proceeds with the expedition, and you go through yet another twin-dungeon, 'Forest Path/Deep Fog Forest', but not before your partner randomly picks up a Red Stone on the ground.
At the end of the dungeon, you guys discover a Groudon Statue, and notices that a hole on its chest fits the Red Stone. Insert the stone, and the statue's eyes light up, clearing away all the fod in the area, revealing that it is actually a very beautiful place (you get a cutscene animation, like the Rayquaza one in Emerald).
Poison Rose shows up again, and finally decide to attack Wigglytuff when you guys continue on with your expedition. Yet, despite its cheerful face, Poison Rose is actually of no match to Wigglytuff, and naturally, the three are kicked out from the Guild.
Chapter 8 (Secret Of The Fog Lake)
Going through the 'Hot Water Cave', you guys arrive at the bottom, but hear a deafening roar. You go in, and find the legendary Groudon waiting for you. Defeat it, but then the Groudon disappears, and it turns out to be a fake one. Uxie appears, and admits that it created a fake Groudon to ward off intruders. It takes you into the secret lake inside, where a beautiful fountain sits with Illumises and Volbeats circle. Right there in the middle of the lake is another Time Wheel, and Uxie is its guardian. You ask Uxie about your past, but Uxie actually is not responsible for it, and says it knows nothing about a human-turned-Pokemon.
The other members of the Guild arrive, and Uxie explains that if a Time Wheel is stolen, time will cease and things will begin to fall apart. Wigglytuff promises to keep everything at the lake a secret, and Uxie agrees not to wipe out your memories, allowing you guys to retain the beautiful memory of the lake as you leave for home.
Chapter 10 (Dusknoir)
The next morning, an unexpected guest arrives at the Guild, and it's the famous Dusknoir, who has voyaged through many places and become famous lately. It wants to know something about your expedition, but Wigglytuff keeps everything a secret despite showing friendliness.
At the Kecleon Bros. Shop, the 'Rills show up to say they are looking for an important item known as the Water Float (an exclusive Marill line item). Poison Rose overhears the conversation, and gets on a nasty plot again.
That night, Chatot announces that a second Time Wheel has been stolen again, but fortunately it isn't the one at the Fog Lake. You remember the strange feeling you get at the Fog Lake, especially towards the Time Wheel, and wonders what it means.
At the meantime, Uxie has been ambushed again, and it starts to wonder if it shouldn't have trusted anyone afterall. Grovyle shows up, and this third Time Wheel gets stolen as well.
The next morning, the 'Rills approach you and show you a letter about the location of the Water Float. The author seems suspiciously, but you and your partner decide to head to this 'Electric Plateau' afterall.
Once you reach the base, you find the Water Float, but then a herd of Luxios led by a Luxray attack you, and fortunately, Dusknoir shows up just in time to save you, and reveals that it was all Poison Rose's nasty plot again.
Dusknoir explains about the 'Space-time Calling' to you, and is astonished about your human-turned-Pokemon story. Dusknoir seems surprised as well when it hears your name, does it mean it knows you before?
Chapter 11 (Grovyle The Thief)
At the Guild, Chatot announces that a third Time Wheel has been stolen, with the culprit identified as a Grovyle, and everyone is appalled that it is the one at the Fog Lake. Wigglytuff is clearly furious as well this time, and orders everyone to go after Grovyle.
And so, everyone gets split up again, and you and your partner head to investigate the 'Northern Desert'. However, at the end of this dungeon, you only find a giant hole of running sand. Your partner decide to head back, but you get a strange familiar feeling again.
Back at the Guild, other members haven't had much luck with their exploration as well, but Bidoof manages to get some pretty crystal shards from the dungeon they were exploring. That night, you are still uncomfortable about that strange feeling at the running-sand hole, and your partner agrees to explore with you. Back there, you get a feeling that something is under the running-sand. Your partner trusts you, and you two decided to take a leap, literally.
You end up in a secret dungeon known as the 'Running Sand Cave', and at the bottom, you find an Underground Lake. But then you are quickly stopped by Mesprit, the guardian of the Time Wheel there. Defeat Mesprit to get it to listen to you instead of accusing you as the thief. Yet, the real thief, Grovyle appears again, and knocks all of you down, snatching away this fourth Time Wheel.
Chapter 12 (The Remaining Possibility)
At the Guild, Dusknoir states that a trinity guards the balance of the world, and there should be another legendary pokemon guarding another Time Wheel somewhere. Coming into contact with the pretty crystal of Bidoof, you get another 'calling' of Azelf being attacked by Grovyle. Everyone agrees that it must mean Azelf is somewhere in that dungeon, and you all head to the 'Crystal Cave'.
At the bottom, there are 3 giant crystal pillars. Remembering the Groudon statue as the running-sand hole, you are convinced that there is a secret dungeon as well, and you get a 'calling' that by turning all crystal into Azelf's colour, you will unlock the secret. And so you change all crystals to blue, and the secret 'Big Crystal Passage' bursts up from underground.
At the base, you find that Azelf has already been heavily injured by Grovyle. Azelf unleashes its remaining power to seal up the lake with crystals, and you try to defeat Grovyle. At the critical moment, Dusknoir shows up, and it seems that the two actually know each other. Grovyle escapes using an item to distract everyone, and Dusknoir gives chase, but you and your partner are outta breath already.
When you wake up, you are back at the Guild, and Magnezone suddenly starts the alarm, calling everyone to Treasure Town central.
Chapter 13 (Dusknoir's Secret)
Dusknoir finally reveals the story to everyone, and it turns out that Grovyle is a Pokemon who came from the future, and is trying to ambush all the Time Wheel at this era. Its intention is to create a phenomenon known as the 'Planet Cessation', where time ceases to flow, wind stops to blow, and everything will just rot and deterioate until silence and darkness shroud the land. Being the key items in this phenomenon, the Time Wheels are therefore sought after by Grovyle.
Dusknoir himself actually comes from the future as well, and its job is to track down and arrest Grovyle. Everyone decides to help out, and the lake trio agree to place a seal at Azelf's lake, the only lake which Time Wheel was left intact.
Finally, Grovyle is being arrested, and Dusknoir, with his team of Sableyes, prepare to take it back to the future through the Space-time hole. Grovyle tries to talk, but it can't since it's tied up. The Sableyes grab it, and kick it into the portal. Your partner wonders why they are treating Grovyle so meanly.
However, right after everyone has said their teary goodbye, Dusknoir asks you if you would like to visit the future. Laughing, he grabs you and drags you and your partner and drags you both into the time portal.
Chapter 14 (The Future World)
In a silent and dark world, Dusknoir calls out to whom it refers to 'Lord Dialga', and the shadow of an ominous creature appears.
Elsewhere, you and your partner wake up and find yourselves locked up in some kind of prison. A team of Sableyes soon come to drag you out, and soon you find yourselves tied up against pillars at the execution room right next to Grovyle.
Turns out, Grovyle isn't the enemy, and Dusknoir is. Dusknoir lied so he could gain the trust of the other Pokemon, and rise to the position of Emperor. Grovyle assists you in escaping, and you three quickly become refugees chased after by Dusknoir and his henchmen.
Outside, you guys are astonished at the dark and silent world, just like how Dusknoir described the 'Planet Cessation' would look like. Before Grovyle has time to explain anything, your pursuers are on your tail, and you have to go through several dungeons to escape.
Go through the 'Spatial Cave', 'Darkness Hill', and in between, you ironically find that your 'Space-time Calling' doesn't seem to work there. Your partner is very uncertain of what is going on, and wants you to promise that you two will return back to Treasure Town together safely after all this.
Get into another dungeon, the 'Imprison Rockground', and at the end, you find Grovyle restricted by a strange light next to an Odd Keystone. Spiritomb attacks, and you must defeat it to save Grovyle.
Grovyle explains that as the world darkens, so does the heart of many Pokemon. Your partner still isn't sure about trusting Grovyle yet, but you decide that there is no other way.
Chapter 15 (The Truth About Planet Cessation)
Far from the Sableyes and Dusknoir, Grovyle finally has time to explain everything to you. Turns out, everything started with an unexplained crevice in time, started by a mysterious Pokemon. Dialga is a legendary god that governs over time, and lives at a place known as the 'Dimension Tower'. When this crevice appeared, Dialga failed to repair it, leading to the annihilation of the 'Dimension Tower', and thus the Planet Cessation. Dialga itself began to change under the effect, and soon went on a rampage, turning itself into what is now known as the Dark Dialga.
In hopes of correcting this Planet Cessation, Grovyle travelled back in time to steal the Time Wheels, for they are essential to revert and stop this whole process. Dusknoir and his minions, while appearing to be friendly at Treasure Town, are actually apprentices of Dark Dialga, and came back in time to stop Grovyle.
Grovyle isn't ready to give up on his goal yet, and says in order to travel back in time once again, they will need to find its friend Celebi at the 'Black Forest'. Get into the 'Black Forest', and you suddenly realize that the 'Black Forest' is strangely familar again. More strangely, it seems to be where the Fog Lake used to be in the past.
At the very base, you find Celebi (shiny, it's red), and Celebi apparently sees something strange in you, but keeps silent. It knows all about Grovyle's plan to reverse the Planet Cessation, and makes the strange statement that when peace returns, it shall disappear. Celebi then takes you three to the Corridor of Time, ready for time travelling again. But before that, you need to go through yet another dungeon, the 'Forest High Platform'.
At the very end of this dungeon, you are ready to head into the Corridor of Time, but Dusknoir, its Sableyes and even Dark Dialga catch up with you. Grovyle wants to give up, but your partner encourages it not to.
And then another shocking thing is revealed. Grovyle reveals that when it went back in time the first time, it went back together with a partner, but was unfortunately separated from this partner when they were within the voids of time. Dusknoir laughs that it still hasn't discovered the truth, and you are shocked to hear Grovyle say that its partner was a human.
Grovyle is equally shocked to hear your name, for it only means one thing, that you are Grovyle's human partner, and you actually come from the future as well. You and Grovyle intended to reverse the Planet Cessation together, but you were separated in the voids of time, and you have lost all your memory and even turned into a Pokemon for unknown reasons.
Your partner is still heartbroken that Dusknoir turned out to be a traitor and a liar, but the villain brushes it off, and orders his henchmen to attack.
As you get cornered, Celebi attempted to use its time travelling abilities to shelter you guys towards the Corridor of Time, but afterall, Dialga is the one that controls time, and easily breaks Celebi's power. Fortunately, that little change was good enough for you to jump into the corridor, and Celebi escapes before it gets caught as well.
Chapter 16 (A Wish At Dawn)
You, your partner and Grovyle wake to find yourselves back in Treasure Town. Since Grovyle is still considered a thief at this time, you could not go back to the Guild as yet, but decide to spend the night the Sharpedo Cliff, which your partner actually has a secret room where it used to live.
You talk over your 'calling' ability, and Grovyle explains that it only works when you have a trusted partner next to you, which implies that you and your partner have a powerful trust together. The 'calling' actually restricts to seeing things in the past only, but since you come from the future, you were able to see things that are 'future' to this time, but are actually the 'past' to you. This also explains why your power didn't work in the future, since you haven't seen the 'future' beyond your time.
Yet, you still don't know why you got turned into a Pokemon, and thus everyone decides to call it a night. The next day, you head to the 'Kisaki Forest' to check on the Time Wheels, which Uxie and co. have promised to return to their original positions before.
But then, to your surprise, time is still ceased, and Grovyle wonders if the crevice in time has already happened, causing the Planet Cessation to begin already. Grovyle states that a total of 5 Time Wheels are needed for reversing the 'Planet Cessation' at the 'Dimension Tower', and tells you two to head back to the Guild and explain everything while it goes off to collect the Wheels again.
Chapter 17 (Companions At The Guild)
Back at the Guild, despite their initial doubt, everyone trusts you two because you are their companions. Wigglytuff decides to trust you as well because to Wigglytuff, there is nothing more important than friends and companions.
And thus everyone starts looking for information on the 'Dimension Tower', which is said to be located on a mirage dungeon known as the 'Mirage Field'. Wigglytuff says old man Torkoal may know something, and thus you head to its hotsprings again. Torkoal tells you that the mirage dungeon can only be accessed by the chosen ones who possess a special itme, but alas, it has forgotten what it is.
The next morning, Torkoal visits you at the Guild, and says it finally remembers that the item has a strange symbol on it. Instantly, you and your partner realize it is the Ruins Shard, and Torkoal confirms that it is. Wigglytuff states that it has seen such a symbol at the 'Coastline Cave' before, where terrible monsters lurk, and everyone prepares to go there. Unforunately, Poison Rose catches Torkoal on its way out, and forces the information out of him.
During preparation, you two head back to the Sharpedo Cliff to find Grovyle's letter, stating that it has already explained itself to the lake legendaries, and obtained three Wheels already so far. You two then head down to the shoreline again where you were washed up.
Chapter 18 (Lapras)
Along the shoreline where the sun is setting, you talk over the mystery of the Ruins Shard again and is glad that the secret is finally revealing itself. Then, out on the sea, you see the silhouette of a long neck creature and wonder what it could be.
That night, this creature, Lapras approaches shore where Wigglytuff is waiting. Seems like they know each other from before, and there is a certain pact that they have kept all these years.
And so everyone heads out to the 'Coastline Cave', with Chatot teaming up with you two. Unfortunately, half way through the dungeon, Poison Rose shows up to snatch your Ruins Shard again, and Chatot angrily gives chase. At the very bottom, you find Poison Rose defeated, and Skuntank is ashamed that you are still caring for them despite all they have done before. It explains that they were defeated by the horrible monsters lurking the cave, and Chatot is facing them now. It hands you back the Shard, and tells you to hurry.
You go further in, and see Chatot there, who reveals that it has actually been in that same room already before. It seems to remember something and quickly looks up, and just like it remembered, the monsters, a Kabutops and two Omastars, are lurking at the ceiling.
The monsters ambush you two, and Chatot takes the hit for you, claiming that it must protect its precious minions. Chatot faints, and you two take on the monsters. As you defeat them, Wigglytuff, Grovyle and everyone else arrives, and Wigglytuff begins to cry when it sees Chatot severely injured.
Wigglytuff states that they can perhaps only go as far, and urges you, your partner and Grovyle to go on while they take Chatot back to the Guild. You enter the deepest room of the cave, where it connects to the shoreline again, and see the strange symbol on the wall.
Your partner takes out the Ruins Shard, and together, a strange light shoots out from the wall, and calls upon Lapras, the creature responsible for taking people to the 'Mirage Field'. To your surprise, Lapras knows your names, and as it ferries you to the 'Mirage Field', it starts to tell you the whole story it shared with Wigglytuff in the past.
Chapter 19 (The Mirage Field)
Turns out, Wigglytuff has visited the 'Coastline Cave' dungeon long ago, and it was Chatot who saved it from the lurking monsters that many years ago. Severely injured, Lapras took them both to safety, and made a pact that they would not talk about it anymore, because afterall, Lapras is the key to the 'Mirage Field', which houses the 'Dimension Tower', a place that no one ever is supposed to lay foot on, with the exception of a chosen ones who possesses the Ruins Shard, the item left behind by the time ruler, Dialga. It is also stated that after this incident, Chatot and Wigglytuff decided to start a Guild and train up stronger expedition teams.
Edging close to the 'Mirage Field', the fabrics of time soon allows Lapras to float in midair, and takes you to the port. Lapras informs you that is can only carry you so far, and in order to reach the 'Dimension Tower', you will need to reach the legendary Rainbow Stone Ark.
And thus you go through the 'Mirage Field' dungeon, and at the very base, find a room full of wall paintings of Mew, Groudon and Kyogre, as well as Dialga and Palkia. Exiting the room, you come across an ancient temple, and finds a hole at the very top which fits the Ruins Shard. But before you could activate anything, Dusknoir and its Sableyes have come back from the future again through a space-time hole to track you down and bring you back to the future.
After a bitter fight, you finally take down Dusknoir, and its Sableyes minions quickly escape through the space-time hole. While you and Grovyle talk things over with Dusknoir, you urge your partner to activiate the Rainbow Stone Ark first.
Dusknoir cannot understand why you and Grovyle would want to stop the Planet Cessation from happening, as it is a world of power and order, and reveals yet another shocking truth. It may be true that the future world will be full of life again once this phenomenon is stopped, but it will also mean that history has been altered, and all the current Pokemon in the future will be erased from existence, including you and Grovyle. Now you understand that Dusknoir only wanted to stop you so it could protect its own existence.
Grovyle puts on a painful look, and apparently it has known this all along. You finally understand why Celebi said it would disappear once peace is restored, and wonder how you are going to reveal this shocking truth to your partner, especially after you have promised to return back to Treasure Town with it safely after all is over.
Yet, for the betterment of the world, there is really no other choice. Your partner manages to activate the Rainbow Stone Ark, but Dusknoir, enraged at your defiance, makes a final struggle to attack, and Grovyle rakes the hit for you. Dusknoir snarls how it intends to kill you slowly and painfully for your iterference. Desperate, Grovyle springs up and grabs Dusknoir, pushing it towards the vortex. Grovyle believes that perhaps it could only go this far, and it is already time to say goodbye. Dropping the Time Wheels, it keeps Dusknoir towards the space-time hole, and tells you that it feels grateful to have had a partner like you, despite that fact that you don't remember anything.
Your partner comes back just in time to see Grovyle throwing itself together with Dusknoir into the space-time hole, and starts to cry about losing a friend. It hopes that the future era where Grovyle is will soon be full of life again, but you alone knows that there is no future that awaits Grovyle, or yourself, for that matter.
Chapter Final (The Last Adventure)
Riding on the Rainbow Stone Ark, you are elevated towards the 'Dimension Tower'. Upon arrival, you discover that it is starting to fall apart, and query that the Planet Cessation is already beginning. You quickly get to the top, and see a giant alter with a large plate with five holes, which must be for the Time Wheels.
However, before you could fit in the Time Wheels, Dialga appears, and apparently, it has already started to undergo changes, and is already becoming the Dark Dialga like in the future.
After a long and bitter fight, you take down Dark Dialga, and fit the Wheels into the alter plate. A loud bang is following by intense shaking, and when you two regain consciousness, you see that Dialga has returned to its original form, and thanks you two for saving it. It congratulates you that you have succeeded in stopping the Planet Cessation, shows you your telepathy that time is beginning to flow eveywhere again.
With your goal achieved, you and your partner take the long way down from the 'Dimension Tower' to return home. But on your way, you begin to feel that your body is getting heavier and heavier, and when you finally begin to glow with a soft light, you know that your time is up.
Your partner is appalled at what is happening, and you finally reveal the secret that once history is changed, all future beings, yourself included, will inevitably disappear. Your partner breaks into tears, and asks you why you lied, since you've promised to return home with it. It sobs that it has gone this far all because of you, but you encourage it to be strong even on its own.
You state that even though you will disappear, you will never forget all the times you've spent together. Your final wish is for your partner to return to Treasure Town safely, and tell everyone about this great adventure of you two. As the glow around your body intensifies, you finally burst into a shower of light and vanish into thin air while your partner cries hysterically.
And thus, your partner takes the long journey home on its own, and as you have wished, spreads the story of your adventure to everyone in town.
As another sunset approaches, your partner stands along the shoreline again, and remembers how you first met there, and gets a flashback of all the good memories you've spent together. Bidoof appears to comfort it, and your partner states that it really misses you, before breaking into another hysterical cry.
(End Credits)
(Después de los Créditos)
1) Evolution:
At the 'Dimension Tower', Dialga watches your partner cry, and feels sorry for it. As a gift of thanks to what you and your partner did, it reincarnates you (or however you'd like to call this) and just like in MD1, you show up right in front of your partner again after the credits roll.
Now that the big fight is over, you and your partner are back in Treasure Town, and the next day, Wigglytuff states that you two are ready to graduate, and grants you the option to visit the 'Light Springs' at the 'Mystic Forest', where evolution is possible. But Wigglytuff says a horrible creature awaits there, and says you must past the graduation test to proceed to the springs.
While you prepare yourself in Treasure Town, you bump into Teddiursa and Ursaring, and weirdly, they say they often visit the place, and there are no horrible creatures at all.
And thus you head to 'Mystic Forest', and at the very end, you two fall into a big trap. Shrouded in darkness, someone who claims to be the 'Great Evil King' challenges you with his minions. Yet, Bidoof accidentally lets light in again, and you see that the Great Evil King is actually just Wigglytuff and the Guild. But still, they all challenge you, and you must defeat them to gain access to the 'Light Springs'.
At the springs, Wigglytuff has left behind a World's Best Food apple, and when you take it out from the treasure chest, a light appears on the springs water. Teddiursa goes in and evolves into an Ursaring, but when your partner tries, the springs's voice states that evolution is impossible for the two of you, because you have gone through a space-time distortion.
Anyway, there's nothing you could do about it so you return back to town. The 'Light Springs' becomes a dungeon, but you just go there directly without needing to go through any actual dungeons. And you don't need to evolve Pokemon one by one either, once you're within the light, there will be a list of all Pokemon ready for evolution, and you can evolve them all at once without needing to switch in and switch out.
Back in town, since you've graduated, you no longer stay at the Guild and live in the Sharpedo Cliff's room from now on. You can also switch leaders in your dungeon expeditions like MD1. The interesting thing though, is this change only takes place at the dungeons, so in Treasure Town, it always will be you and your partner walking around only.
2) Scizor
After doing several missions again, you find a Mr. Mime in Treasure Town one day, and it tells you about a famous explorer called Scizor who has gone missing after it visited the 'Blizzard Island', and so there you go.
Going through 'Blizzard Island' and then the subsequent 'Crevice Cave', you finally find Scizor frozen at the very end of the dungeon, and you must defeat the Froslass responsible for that. Scizor gets saved, and rewards you a special Secret Rank to you, which is in fact just an additional star to your emblem.
3) Manaphy
Some more missions later, you talk to Sunflora at the Guild one day, and it tells you about the 'Enclosed Sea', a place full of treasures, and so you head there. At the very end, you find a mysterious egg and takes it back to your base.
The next morning, it hatches into a Manaphy, and you take it back to the Guild to ask Chatot about it. Apparently, Manaphy is said to be a very rare Pokemon which only a few exist in the whole world, and like we all know, it lives in cold waters. Suddenly Manaphy begins to cry, and Chatot suggests you feed it Blue Gummies. Get some at the Shoreline Rockground if you don't have any with you.
On feeding Manaphy a second Blue Gummy, it will want to tag along with you out. And so you bring it to the shoreline where you were washed up the first time, and Manaphy is obviously very interested in the sea. That night, Manaphy suddenly goes missing, and you soon find it stranded alone on the shoreline.
What's worse is it seems to have developed a bad fever, and Chatot says you must find the sea nymphs known as Fione who make an item known as the Fione's Water to heal Manaphy. And so you head to the 'Miracle Sea'. At the very top, you see a gang of Fione, but then a Gyarados appears to threaten them, and once you ward off this sea dragon, the Fione reward you with the item.
On healing Manaphy, Chatot speaks the unspeakable and says it is perhaps best that Manaphy returns to the ocean, because afterall, that is its natural habitat. Though painful, you two decide that it's best, and watch Wigglytuff's friend in the northern seas, a Walrein, drag Manaphy away despite its protests. You both wish you will see Manaphy again someday.
4) The Regis
After several more missions, one day you find a famous exploration team called the Charms (Lopunny, Gardevoir and Medicham) at the Guild, and apparently they were good friends with Wigglytuff in the past. They talk about a legendary dungeon known as the 'Watchman Cave', which key is held by Wigglytuff. Wigglytuff initially forgets about it, but when it sees the World's Best Food apple Charms brought to it, it suddenly remembers again. It becomes so happy that it even refuses to join Charms on their mission. But you are keen to explore, and so you along with other Guild members tag along Charms.
At the 'Watchman Cave', it is mainly inhabited by Unowns, and each Unown has a chance of holding a stone engraved with their own alphabet letter on it (so there are a total of 28 types of alphabet stones). The only stones you really need are ones that spell out 'Ice', 'Rock' and 'Steel' actually.
You must go through the Ice Room first, which is only 3-layered, and then you will return to the entrance again where a stone block is. Once you have collected 'I' 'C' 'E', talk to the stone, and it will lead you to Regice's room. If you still don't have the required alphabets, go though the 3-room cycle agan.
The same goes for Regirock and Registeel, and upon defeating each Regi, they grant you a watchman's symbol. With all 3 symbols, you end up in Regigigas's room. Your symbols flash, and turn Regigigas as well as his team of Bronzongs and Hitmonlees from statues to real. Charms will team up with you to fight them. Defeat Regigigas, and it will thump the ground, opening up the true dungeon which holds treasures nearly, known as the 'Hidden Ruins'. You are not required to visit this dungeon though.
5) Palkia
On a stormy night, you remember how you and your partner are unable to evolve at the 'Light Springs' due to a space-time distortion, and get worried about it. Outside, a silhouette dashes away as Cresselia gives chase.
The next night, you get a dream, and Cresselia appears. It tells you that due to your existence, the world is beginning to fall apart. You keep getting recurrent dreams the next nights, and apparently, since you don't really belong to this era, your very existence has caused a split in the space dimension, and it is slowly expanding, which will eventually lead to the total destruction of the world.
The next morning, you are alarmed that Azurill has been unable to wake from its sleep, and is caught up in a very deep nightmare. Everyone at the Guild discuss what should be done, and Chatot believes that the only one that could help is perhaps Drowzee, who could enter people's dreams.
You are all hesitant because Drowzee used to be a criminal, but Magnemite tells you that it has already corrected its evil ways, and is now purifying its mind at the 'Mt. Practice'. So you head there, and find Drowzee at the very top. It agrees to help, and sends you two into Azurill's nightmare, which is another dungeon, 'Nightmare Center'.
At the very end, you see Cresselia again, and apparently your partner has been having the same dreams as you are. You being a person who does not belong to this time, and your partner, a Pokemon that has gone through the fabrics of time and experienced the space-time distortion. Together your existence will destroy the world, and thus Cresselia is determined to wipe you out from this world. Otherwise, everyone will soon be like Azurill, and get locked up in eternal nightmare. But then Drowzee appears just in time, and Cresselia disappears.
Back at the Guild, you and your partner tell everyone about the impedning world destruction due to a split in space, but leave out the cause being yourselves. That night, you two wonder if you really don't belong there, but agree that something seems off with Creselia's words.
The next day, you visit Lapras at the shoreline, and it talks about the parallel deity to Dialga. While Dialga is the time ruler, there is also a space ruler known as Palkia, and perhaps it will know what to do. Yet, Lapras has no idea how to reach Palkia either.
That night, Palkia suddenly shows up at your place, and drags you two away to its 'Sky Crack'. Apparently, Palkia deems your existence a threat to the world as well, and vows to annihilate you.
You two fall to the base of the dungeon, and must go through this dungeon, before meeting Palkia at the very end again. Your partner doesn't understand why as the ruler of space, Palkia isn't able to correct the split. Palkia states that while it normally is able to fix errors in space, somehow it fails to do so this time, and has no choice but to destroy you for the sake of the dimensional balance.
Defeat Palkia, and it will suddenly freeze. You notice that Palkis has entered a nightmare as well, and enters its nightmare just like you did with Azurill. Inside, Cresselia appears again, and you learn that it was actually Cresselia who told Palkia about you two. You realize that it was only Cresselia who has accused you as the cause of the distortion all along, and are even more convinced that something is wrong.
Just when Cresselia is about to deliver its deadly hit, another Cresselia appears, and apparently, this Cresselia you have seen all along is Darkrai in disguise. Darkrai flees, and says it shall await at the 'Dark Crater'.
You head back into town, where Cresselia heals Azurill. You then decide to have a final showdown with Darkrai, and Cresselia tags along.
At the very top of the 'Dark Crater', Darkrai finally reveals all the truth. Everything has been Darkrai's doing all along. It was responsible for breaking the main wheel at the 'Dimension Tower', causing a crevice in time and thus leading to Dialga's transformation into Dark Dialga. The reason why you and Grovyle were separated while you travel back in time was also because of Darkrai. One is most vulnerable while travelling through the voids of time, and while Darkrai ambushed you two, you took the hit for Grovyle and thus ended up losing your memory and turning into a Pokemon even, while Grovyle managed to stay intact.
Darkrai's intention is to shroud the world in total darkness and nightmare, and since you and your partner have together shattered its plot to create the Planet Cessation within the time dimension, it now turns to the space dimension, and creates a crack in it as well, causing an impending world destruction.
You three face off Darkrai and his very powerful team of minions, a Rhyperior, Mismagius, Magmortar, Arbok, Aggron and Magcargo. Defeat it, and Darkrai will request that you and your partner join it to create a world of darkness.
Cresselia is appalled at first when your partner agrees, and is even more terrified when you agree as well. But turns out, it's all your plan to edge close to Darkrai, because everything is just a nightmare, and nothing is real. Darkrai gets angry, and opens up a space-time hole again, preparing to escape. But then Palkia arrives just in time to deliver a deadly attack on Darkrai, shattering the hole together with it.
However, Palkia explains that Darkrai isn't really gone yet. Just like you, it has now been attacked within the voids of time, and most likely, it will end up in another era and place, with its memory wiped out. Palkia also assures you that everything in the space dimension has been healed, and while you and your partner's existence did cause a crack, it was just a minor one, and it has already fixed it long ago.
And so, back to Treasure Town we go. Your partner gets another monologue, and feels grateful that you two can live in harmony with others without causing harm. It mentions that although for some strange reason, you still cannot evolve at the 'Light Springs', it doesn't really matter anymore, since you are all happy.
6) Miscellaneous
After a few missions, one morning Chatot calls out to you, and you discover that Manaphy has all grown up and returned! It will join your team from now on. After yet another few missions, Manaphy will discover a new dungeon known as the 'Sea Resort', but it's not a compulsory dungeon, and only treasures lie there.
Here is the link where I found these spoilers:
https://pokesafariforos.com/showthread.php?t=4538
Well, after reading this plotline, I have this to say:
I was amazed by the amazing coection between Govyle and the player, and how it turned out to be the hero, and Dusknoir the actual villain. In this society of ours, all it takes is one small action to give a person a label of hero or villain. A person can say, "I will lead you to prosperity and peace!" And instantly become a false deity in the eyes of the people. But in fact, the misviewed deeds of those the real villains despise are the real motivations of goodness. I was crying when I envisioned Grovyle sacrificing its existence for the world and saying, "I'm glad to have had a friend like you." I hope somewhere, Grovyle lives in another dimension happily, where it is viewed as a good person at last.
I really enjoyed the fact that Team Poison Rose were big baddies in this game. I mean, they were totally bad! They embarass the partners and kiss up to an uptight Chatot, all while hurting others with their false goodness. I'm glad the Kabutops and Omastar gave them a good beating and taught them a lesson. I wonder if they were arrested and put away.
I also am kind of against the egative character of Chatot. From what I've read, he's a stuck-up, arrogant, and very hot-headed leutaeant. He doesn't look like a vbery friendly Pokemon. Still, I like the fact that he cares for the members of the Wigglytuff Guild, as shown in the cave scene.
I was kind of confused when Darkrai entered the story. He said that he made the Planet Cessation, when in fact Dusknoir said that Grovyle's stealing the wheels resulted in this. So yeah, maybe if Dusknoir had pretended to be Darkrai, that woulda made sense, but hey.
Overall, great story plot! I hope MD Time comes out in the US soon.
(Warning: Do not read unless spoiler-loving.)
Chapter 1 (Stormy Seas)
On a stormy night, you and a friend are caught up in a terrible turmoil, and are separated from each other. When you wake up, you find yourself at the seashore of an unknown land.
Elsewhere, your to-be-partner is having hesitations over entering the famous Wigglytuff's Guild. It possesses an odd item known as the Ruins Shard, and believes that it will lead it to a legendary place someday. Unfortunately, its monologue has been overheard by Zubat and Koffing, who belong to a team known as the Poison Rose.
Soon, your partner finds you on the seashore, and you are surprised that you have turned from a human into a Pokemon. Zubat and Koffing ambush your partner to snatch the Shard, and you two enter the 'Seashore Cave' to defeat them, and get the item back.
Talking things over, your partner tells you about its dream to go on expeditions, and since you can do nothing about your condition for the moment, you decide to partner up and head for Wigglytuff's Guild.
Chapter 2 (Joining the Guild)
Upon arrival, you two are 'identified' at the front door, and turns out Diglett, the watchman, identified incomers by their footprints. You two approach Chatot, who brings you to Wigglytuff, and the joyful Guild Master quickly accepts you two into the team, offering you the starters kit with a Mysterious Map, the Exploration Team Badge and a Treasure Bag.
Spending the first night in the Guild, you are awaken by Loudred, and then receive your first mission the next day, which is retrieve the lost pearl of Spoink. You enter the 'Damp Rockground', and complete the mission.
Chapter 3 (The Space-time Calling)
Chatot tells Bidoof to take you guys around town, and soon you come to the Kecleon Bros. Shop in Treasure Town, where you encounter an Azurill and its brother Marill. Azurill trips and drops an apple, and when you hand it back to it, the brief body contact makes you hear a cry for help.
Later, you see a Drowzee agreeing to help the 'Rills retrieve a lost item, but when you bump into Drowzee, the 'cry' becomes clear, and you actually get a vision of Azurill being cornered by Drowzee. Thinking that you are overreacting, your partner accompanies you back to the Guild.
However, after Bidoof shows you the criminal list, you are astounded to see Drowzee's photo on there, and you two quickly head out, only to bump into Marill who claims that Azurill have gone missing. So you head to the 'Mt. Spike', and saves Azurill who refuses to help Drowzee retrieve some treasures in a small hole.
You see Treasure Town's police force, Magnezone and his Magnemites, and they take Drowzee away. That night, your partner tells you about a mystical item known as the Time Wheel, which is present in forests, lakes, volcanoes, and are responsible for guarding time.
Yet, at the Kisaki Forest, a Grovyle shrouded in shadow lurks, and steals the Time Wheel there.
Chapter 4 (The Watchman Post)
One fine morning, Diglett requests that you two help out with the watchman's post coz it has to help Dugtrio. Identify Pokemon by their footsteps, and you get a reward based on your score.
Chapter 5 (The First Exploration)
The next morning, news about the disappearance of the Time Wheel at the Kisaki Forest spreads, and everyone is appalled that time has completely ceased in the forest. Lt. Magnezone will be investigating things, and so there's nothing to do about it as yet.
Chatot bestows upon you the first mission, and you two go to explore the mysterious waterfall. There, you get a 'calling' again, and learns of the way to enter the waterfall. At the top floor, you get another 'calling', but it's too late to prevent an incoming flood to propel you out. Interestingly, you land in an outdoor hotsprings run by old man Torkoal, and thus you head back to the Guild.
Over dinner, Chatot announces that Wigglytuff has decided to hold a long expedition to a distant spot, and everyone is excited, hopiong to be selected as a participant. That night, you and your partner talk over your ability, and concludes that when you come into contact with something, you seem to be able to foretell what is going to happen, or what has happened.
Chapter 6 (Poison Rose)
It is soon known that the leader in the Poison Rose expedition team is a stinky Skuntank, and everyone is not too pleased that they are joining the Guild. One night, the three steal all the food within the Guild, and thus Chatot sends you off to get some World's Best Food apple at the 'Apple Forest', because they are Wigglytuff's favourite food.
You head to 'Apple Forest', but then before you mange to get the apples, Poison Rose knocks you out and snatches them all away, and embarrasses you in front of Chatot and Wigglytuff that night in the Guild, causing you to lose some of your reputation, and on Chatot's angry command, your dinner as well.
Fortunately, your friends at the Guild smuggle some food for you two, and you are grateful for the friendship you've built up within the Guild. Over dinner that night, Chatot announces that the participant list of the expedition will be announced the next day, and everyone is happy except you two, because you are sure that you won't get selected. Late at night, Grovyle ambushes another spot again, and steals yet another Time Wheel, claiming that 3 more are needed.
The next morning, to everyone's surprise, everyone's name is on the list, and it means it will be a whole-Guild expedition this time, with the destination to the Fog Lake. Chatot and Skutank protest, attempting to get you kicked off the exploration, but Wigglytuff kindly says that mistakes are made by everyone. You are separated into teams, and Bidoof joins your team.
Chapter 7 (The Long Expedition)
On your journey, you go through a range of twin-dungeons, one long, one short. The short ones are not mandatory like in MD1, because you will need to get through the long ones to proceed.
Go through 'Small Path/Shoreline Rockground' and 'Rock Path/Mt. Horn', and you will arrive at the Fog Lake area.
Chapter 8 (The Groudon Statue)
Arriving at the campsite, you find yourself strangely familar with the place. Chimecho talks about how a legendary Pokemon named Uxie inhabits the area, and has the ability to wipe out people's memories. You start to wonder if you have been there before, and Uxie wiped out your memory.
The team then proceeds with the expedition, and you go through yet another twin-dungeon, 'Forest Path/Deep Fog Forest', but not before your partner randomly picks up a Red Stone on the ground.
At the end of the dungeon, you guys discover a Groudon Statue, and notices that a hole on its chest fits the Red Stone. Insert the stone, and the statue's eyes light up, clearing away all the fod in the area, revealing that it is actually a very beautiful place (you get a cutscene animation, like the Rayquaza one in Emerald).
Poison Rose shows up again, and finally decide to attack Wigglytuff when you guys continue on with your expedition. Yet, despite its cheerful face, Poison Rose is actually of no match to Wigglytuff, and naturally, the three are kicked out from the Guild.
Chapter 8 (Secret Of The Fog Lake)
Going through the 'Hot Water Cave', you guys arrive at the bottom, but hear a deafening roar. You go in, and find the legendary Groudon waiting for you. Defeat it, but then the Groudon disappears, and it turns out to be a fake one. Uxie appears, and admits that it created a fake Groudon to ward off intruders. It takes you into the secret lake inside, where a beautiful fountain sits with Illumises and Volbeats circle. Right there in the middle of the lake is another Time Wheel, and Uxie is its guardian. You ask Uxie about your past, but Uxie actually is not responsible for it, and says it knows nothing about a human-turned-Pokemon.
The other members of the Guild arrive, and Uxie explains that if a Time Wheel is stolen, time will cease and things will begin to fall apart. Wigglytuff promises to keep everything at the lake a secret, and Uxie agrees not to wipe out your memories, allowing you guys to retain the beautiful memory of the lake as you leave for home.
Chapter 10 (Dusknoir)
The next morning, an unexpected guest arrives at the Guild, and it's the famous Dusknoir, who has voyaged through many places and become famous lately. It wants to know something about your expedition, but Wigglytuff keeps everything a secret despite showing friendliness.
At the Kecleon Bros. Shop, the 'Rills show up to say they are looking for an important item known as the Water Float (an exclusive Marill line item). Poison Rose overhears the conversation, and gets on a nasty plot again.
That night, Chatot announces that a second Time Wheel has been stolen again, but fortunately it isn't the one at the Fog Lake. You remember the strange feeling you get at the Fog Lake, especially towards the Time Wheel, and wonders what it means.
At the meantime, Uxie has been ambushed again, and it starts to wonder if it shouldn't have trusted anyone afterall. Grovyle shows up, and this third Time Wheel gets stolen as well.
The next morning, the 'Rills approach you and show you a letter about the location of the Water Float. The author seems suspiciously, but you and your partner decide to head to this 'Electric Plateau' afterall.
Once you reach the base, you find the Water Float, but then a herd of Luxios led by a Luxray attack you, and fortunately, Dusknoir shows up just in time to save you, and reveals that it was all Poison Rose's nasty plot again.
Dusknoir explains about the 'Space-time Calling' to you, and is astonished about your human-turned-Pokemon story. Dusknoir seems surprised as well when it hears your name, does it mean it knows you before?
Chapter 11 (Grovyle The Thief)
At the Guild, Chatot announces that a third Time Wheel has been stolen, with the culprit identified as a Grovyle, and everyone is appalled that it is the one at the Fog Lake. Wigglytuff is clearly furious as well this time, and orders everyone to go after Grovyle.
And so, everyone gets split up again, and you and your partner head to investigate the 'Northern Desert'. However, at the end of this dungeon, you only find a giant hole of running sand. Your partner decide to head back, but you get a strange familiar feeling again.
Back at the Guild, other members haven't had much luck with their exploration as well, but Bidoof manages to get some pretty crystal shards from the dungeon they were exploring. That night, you are still uncomfortable about that strange feeling at the running-sand hole, and your partner agrees to explore with you. Back there, you get a feeling that something is under the running-sand. Your partner trusts you, and you two decided to take a leap, literally.
You end up in a secret dungeon known as the 'Running Sand Cave', and at the bottom, you find an Underground Lake. But then you are quickly stopped by Mesprit, the guardian of the Time Wheel there. Defeat Mesprit to get it to listen to you instead of accusing you as the thief. Yet, the real thief, Grovyle appears again, and knocks all of you down, snatching away this fourth Time Wheel.
Chapter 12 (The Remaining Possibility)
At the Guild, Dusknoir states that a trinity guards the balance of the world, and there should be another legendary pokemon guarding another Time Wheel somewhere. Coming into contact with the pretty crystal of Bidoof, you get another 'calling' of Azelf being attacked by Grovyle. Everyone agrees that it must mean Azelf is somewhere in that dungeon, and you all head to the 'Crystal Cave'.
At the bottom, there are 3 giant crystal pillars. Remembering the Groudon statue as the running-sand hole, you are convinced that there is a secret dungeon as well, and you get a 'calling' that by turning all crystal into Azelf's colour, you will unlock the secret. And so you change all crystals to blue, and the secret 'Big Crystal Passage' bursts up from underground.
At the base, you find that Azelf has already been heavily injured by Grovyle. Azelf unleashes its remaining power to seal up the lake with crystals, and you try to defeat Grovyle. At the critical moment, Dusknoir shows up, and it seems that the two actually know each other. Grovyle escapes using an item to distract everyone, and Dusknoir gives chase, but you and your partner are outta breath already.
When you wake up, you are back at the Guild, and Magnezone suddenly starts the alarm, calling everyone to Treasure Town central.
Chapter 13 (Dusknoir's Secret)
Dusknoir finally reveals the story to everyone, and it turns out that Grovyle is a Pokemon who came from the future, and is trying to ambush all the Time Wheel at this era. Its intention is to create a phenomenon known as the 'Planet Cessation', where time ceases to flow, wind stops to blow, and everything will just rot and deterioate until silence and darkness shroud the land. Being the key items in this phenomenon, the Time Wheels are therefore sought after by Grovyle.
Dusknoir himself actually comes from the future as well, and its job is to track down and arrest Grovyle. Everyone decides to help out, and the lake trio agree to place a seal at Azelf's lake, the only lake which Time Wheel was left intact.
Finally, Grovyle is being arrested, and Dusknoir, with his team of Sableyes, prepare to take it back to the future through the Space-time hole. Grovyle tries to talk, but it can't since it's tied up. The Sableyes grab it, and kick it into the portal. Your partner wonders why they are treating Grovyle so meanly.
However, right after everyone has said their teary goodbye, Dusknoir asks you if you would like to visit the future. Laughing, he grabs you and drags you and your partner and drags you both into the time portal.
Chapter 14 (The Future World)
In a silent and dark world, Dusknoir calls out to whom it refers to 'Lord Dialga', and the shadow of an ominous creature appears.
Elsewhere, you and your partner wake up and find yourselves locked up in some kind of prison. A team of Sableyes soon come to drag you out, and soon you find yourselves tied up against pillars at the execution room right next to Grovyle.
Turns out, Grovyle isn't the enemy, and Dusknoir is. Dusknoir lied so he could gain the trust of the other Pokemon, and rise to the position of Emperor. Grovyle assists you in escaping, and you three quickly become refugees chased after by Dusknoir and his henchmen.
Outside, you guys are astonished at the dark and silent world, just like how Dusknoir described the 'Planet Cessation' would look like. Before Grovyle has time to explain anything, your pursuers are on your tail, and you have to go through several dungeons to escape.
Go through the 'Spatial Cave', 'Darkness Hill', and in between, you ironically find that your 'Space-time Calling' doesn't seem to work there. Your partner is very uncertain of what is going on, and wants you to promise that you two will return back to Treasure Town together safely after all this.
Get into another dungeon, the 'Imprison Rockground', and at the end, you find Grovyle restricted by a strange light next to an Odd Keystone. Spiritomb attacks, and you must defeat it to save Grovyle.
Grovyle explains that as the world darkens, so does the heart of many Pokemon. Your partner still isn't sure about trusting Grovyle yet, but you decide that there is no other way.
Chapter 15 (The Truth About Planet Cessation)
Far from the Sableyes and Dusknoir, Grovyle finally has time to explain everything to you. Turns out, everything started with an unexplained crevice in time, started by a mysterious Pokemon. Dialga is a legendary god that governs over time, and lives at a place known as the 'Dimension Tower'. When this crevice appeared, Dialga failed to repair it, leading to the annihilation of the 'Dimension Tower', and thus the Planet Cessation. Dialga itself began to change under the effect, and soon went on a rampage, turning itself into what is now known as the Dark Dialga.
In hopes of correcting this Planet Cessation, Grovyle travelled back in time to steal the Time Wheels, for they are essential to revert and stop this whole process. Dusknoir and his minions, while appearing to be friendly at Treasure Town, are actually apprentices of Dark Dialga, and came back in time to stop Grovyle.
Grovyle isn't ready to give up on his goal yet, and says in order to travel back in time once again, they will need to find its friend Celebi at the 'Black Forest'. Get into the 'Black Forest', and you suddenly realize that the 'Black Forest' is strangely familar again. More strangely, it seems to be where the Fog Lake used to be in the past.
At the very base, you find Celebi (shiny, it's red), and Celebi apparently sees something strange in you, but keeps silent. It knows all about Grovyle's plan to reverse the Planet Cessation, and makes the strange statement that when peace returns, it shall disappear. Celebi then takes you three to the Corridor of Time, ready for time travelling again. But before that, you need to go through yet another dungeon, the 'Forest High Platform'.
At the very end of this dungeon, you are ready to head into the Corridor of Time, but Dusknoir, its Sableyes and even Dark Dialga catch up with you. Grovyle wants to give up, but your partner encourages it not to.
And then another shocking thing is revealed. Grovyle reveals that when it went back in time the first time, it went back together with a partner, but was unfortunately separated from this partner when they were within the voids of time. Dusknoir laughs that it still hasn't discovered the truth, and you are shocked to hear Grovyle say that its partner was a human.
Grovyle is equally shocked to hear your name, for it only means one thing, that you are Grovyle's human partner, and you actually come from the future as well. You and Grovyle intended to reverse the Planet Cessation together, but you were separated in the voids of time, and you have lost all your memory and even turned into a Pokemon for unknown reasons.
Your partner is still heartbroken that Dusknoir turned out to be a traitor and a liar, but the villain brushes it off, and orders his henchmen to attack.
As you get cornered, Celebi attempted to use its time travelling abilities to shelter you guys towards the Corridor of Time, but afterall, Dialga is the one that controls time, and easily breaks Celebi's power. Fortunately, that little change was good enough for you to jump into the corridor, and Celebi escapes before it gets caught as well.
Chapter 16 (A Wish At Dawn)
You, your partner and Grovyle wake to find yourselves back in Treasure Town. Since Grovyle is still considered a thief at this time, you could not go back to the Guild as yet, but decide to spend the night the Sharpedo Cliff, which your partner actually has a secret room where it used to live.
You talk over your 'calling' ability, and Grovyle explains that it only works when you have a trusted partner next to you, which implies that you and your partner have a powerful trust together. The 'calling' actually restricts to seeing things in the past only, but since you come from the future, you were able to see things that are 'future' to this time, but are actually the 'past' to you. This also explains why your power didn't work in the future, since you haven't seen the 'future' beyond your time.
Yet, you still don't know why you got turned into a Pokemon, and thus everyone decides to call it a night. The next day, you head to the 'Kisaki Forest' to check on the Time Wheels, which Uxie and co. have promised to return to their original positions before.
But then, to your surprise, time is still ceased, and Grovyle wonders if the crevice in time has already happened, causing the Planet Cessation to begin already. Grovyle states that a total of 5 Time Wheels are needed for reversing the 'Planet Cessation' at the 'Dimension Tower', and tells you two to head back to the Guild and explain everything while it goes off to collect the Wheels again.
Chapter 17 (Companions At The Guild)
Back at the Guild, despite their initial doubt, everyone trusts you two because you are their companions. Wigglytuff decides to trust you as well because to Wigglytuff, there is nothing more important than friends and companions.
And thus everyone starts looking for information on the 'Dimension Tower', which is said to be located on a mirage dungeon known as the 'Mirage Field'. Wigglytuff says old man Torkoal may know something, and thus you head to its hotsprings again. Torkoal tells you that the mirage dungeon can only be accessed by the chosen ones who possess a special itme, but alas, it has forgotten what it is.
The next morning, Torkoal visits you at the Guild, and says it finally remembers that the item has a strange symbol on it. Instantly, you and your partner realize it is the Ruins Shard, and Torkoal confirms that it is. Wigglytuff states that it has seen such a symbol at the 'Coastline Cave' before, where terrible monsters lurk, and everyone prepares to go there. Unforunately, Poison Rose catches Torkoal on its way out, and forces the information out of him.
During preparation, you two head back to the Sharpedo Cliff to find Grovyle's letter, stating that it has already explained itself to the lake legendaries, and obtained three Wheels already so far. You two then head down to the shoreline again where you were washed up.
Chapter 18 (Lapras)
Along the shoreline where the sun is setting, you talk over the mystery of the Ruins Shard again and is glad that the secret is finally revealing itself. Then, out on the sea, you see the silhouette of a long neck creature and wonder what it could be.
That night, this creature, Lapras approaches shore where Wigglytuff is waiting. Seems like they know each other from before, and there is a certain pact that they have kept all these years.
And so everyone heads out to the 'Coastline Cave', with Chatot teaming up with you two. Unfortunately, half way through the dungeon, Poison Rose shows up to snatch your Ruins Shard again, and Chatot angrily gives chase. At the very bottom, you find Poison Rose defeated, and Skuntank is ashamed that you are still caring for them despite all they have done before. It explains that they were defeated by the horrible monsters lurking the cave, and Chatot is facing them now. It hands you back the Shard, and tells you to hurry.
You go further in, and see Chatot there, who reveals that it has actually been in that same room already before. It seems to remember something and quickly looks up, and just like it remembered, the monsters, a Kabutops and two Omastars, are lurking at the ceiling.
The monsters ambush you two, and Chatot takes the hit for you, claiming that it must protect its precious minions. Chatot faints, and you two take on the monsters. As you defeat them, Wigglytuff, Grovyle and everyone else arrives, and Wigglytuff begins to cry when it sees Chatot severely injured.
Wigglytuff states that they can perhaps only go as far, and urges you, your partner and Grovyle to go on while they take Chatot back to the Guild. You enter the deepest room of the cave, where it connects to the shoreline again, and see the strange symbol on the wall.
Your partner takes out the Ruins Shard, and together, a strange light shoots out from the wall, and calls upon Lapras, the creature responsible for taking people to the 'Mirage Field'. To your surprise, Lapras knows your names, and as it ferries you to the 'Mirage Field', it starts to tell you the whole story it shared with Wigglytuff in the past.
Chapter 19 (The Mirage Field)
Turns out, Wigglytuff has visited the 'Coastline Cave' dungeon long ago, and it was Chatot who saved it from the lurking monsters that many years ago. Severely injured, Lapras took them both to safety, and made a pact that they would not talk about it anymore, because afterall, Lapras is the key to the 'Mirage Field', which houses the 'Dimension Tower', a place that no one ever is supposed to lay foot on, with the exception of a chosen ones who possesses the Ruins Shard, the item left behind by the time ruler, Dialga. It is also stated that after this incident, Chatot and Wigglytuff decided to start a Guild and train up stronger expedition teams.
Edging close to the 'Mirage Field', the fabrics of time soon allows Lapras to float in midair, and takes you to the port. Lapras informs you that is can only carry you so far, and in order to reach the 'Dimension Tower', you will need to reach the legendary Rainbow Stone Ark.
And thus you go through the 'Mirage Field' dungeon, and at the very base, find a room full of wall paintings of Mew, Groudon and Kyogre, as well as Dialga and Palkia. Exiting the room, you come across an ancient temple, and finds a hole at the very top which fits the Ruins Shard. But before you could activate anything, Dusknoir and its Sableyes have come back from the future again through a space-time hole to track you down and bring you back to the future.
After a bitter fight, you finally take down Dusknoir, and its Sableyes minions quickly escape through the space-time hole. While you and Grovyle talk things over with Dusknoir, you urge your partner to activiate the Rainbow Stone Ark first.
Dusknoir cannot understand why you and Grovyle would want to stop the Planet Cessation from happening, as it is a world of power and order, and reveals yet another shocking truth. It may be true that the future world will be full of life again once this phenomenon is stopped, but it will also mean that history has been altered, and all the current Pokemon in the future will be erased from existence, including you and Grovyle. Now you understand that Dusknoir only wanted to stop you so it could protect its own existence.
Grovyle puts on a painful look, and apparently it has known this all along. You finally understand why Celebi said it would disappear once peace is restored, and wonder how you are going to reveal this shocking truth to your partner, especially after you have promised to return back to Treasure Town with it safely after all is over.
Yet, for the betterment of the world, there is really no other choice. Your partner manages to activate the Rainbow Stone Ark, but Dusknoir, enraged at your defiance, makes a final struggle to attack, and Grovyle rakes the hit for you. Dusknoir snarls how it intends to kill you slowly and painfully for your iterference. Desperate, Grovyle springs up and grabs Dusknoir, pushing it towards the vortex. Grovyle believes that perhaps it could only go this far, and it is already time to say goodbye. Dropping the Time Wheels, it keeps Dusknoir towards the space-time hole, and tells you that it feels grateful to have had a partner like you, despite that fact that you don't remember anything.
Your partner comes back just in time to see Grovyle throwing itself together with Dusknoir into the space-time hole, and starts to cry about losing a friend. It hopes that the future era where Grovyle is will soon be full of life again, but you alone knows that there is no future that awaits Grovyle, or yourself, for that matter.
Chapter Final (The Last Adventure)
Riding on the Rainbow Stone Ark, you are elevated towards the 'Dimension Tower'. Upon arrival, you discover that it is starting to fall apart, and query that the Planet Cessation is already beginning. You quickly get to the top, and see a giant alter with a large plate with five holes, which must be for the Time Wheels.
However, before you could fit in the Time Wheels, Dialga appears, and apparently, it has already started to undergo changes, and is already becoming the Dark Dialga like in the future.
After a long and bitter fight, you take down Dark Dialga, and fit the Wheels into the alter plate. A loud bang is following by intense shaking, and when you two regain consciousness, you see that Dialga has returned to its original form, and thanks you two for saving it. It congratulates you that you have succeeded in stopping the Planet Cessation, shows you your telepathy that time is beginning to flow eveywhere again.
With your goal achieved, you and your partner take the long way down from the 'Dimension Tower' to return home. But on your way, you begin to feel that your body is getting heavier and heavier, and when you finally begin to glow with a soft light, you know that your time is up.
Your partner is appalled at what is happening, and you finally reveal the secret that once history is changed, all future beings, yourself included, will inevitably disappear. Your partner breaks into tears, and asks you why you lied, since you've promised to return home with it. It sobs that it has gone this far all because of you, but you encourage it to be strong even on its own.
You state that even though you will disappear, you will never forget all the times you've spent together. Your final wish is for your partner to return to Treasure Town safely, and tell everyone about this great adventure of you two. As the glow around your body intensifies, you finally burst into a shower of light and vanish into thin air while your partner cries hysterically.
And thus, your partner takes the long journey home on its own, and as you have wished, spreads the story of your adventure to everyone in town.
As another sunset approaches, your partner stands along the shoreline again, and remembers how you first met there, and gets a flashback of all the good memories you've spent together. Bidoof appears to comfort it, and your partner states that it really misses you, before breaking into another hysterical cry.
(End Credits)
(Después de los Créditos)
1) Evolution:
At the 'Dimension Tower', Dialga watches your partner cry, and feels sorry for it. As a gift of thanks to what you and your partner did, it reincarnates you (or however you'd like to call this) and just like in MD1, you show up right in front of your partner again after the credits roll.
Now that the big fight is over, you and your partner are back in Treasure Town, and the next day, Wigglytuff states that you two are ready to graduate, and grants you the option to visit the 'Light Springs' at the 'Mystic Forest', where evolution is possible. But Wigglytuff says a horrible creature awaits there, and says you must past the graduation test to proceed to the springs.
While you prepare yourself in Treasure Town, you bump into Teddiursa and Ursaring, and weirdly, they say they often visit the place, and there are no horrible creatures at all.
And thus you head to 'Mystic Forest', and at the very end, you two fall into a big trap. Shrouded in darkness, someone who claims to be the 'Great Evil King' challenges you with his minions. Yet, Bidoof accidentally lets light in again, and you see that the Great Evil King is actually just Wigglytuff and the Guild. But still, they all challenge you, and you must defeat them to gain access to the 'Light Springs'.
At the springs, Wigglytuff has left behind a World's Best Food apple, and when you take it out from the treasure chest, a light appears on the springs water. Teddiursa goes in and evolves into an Ursaring, but when your partner tries, the springs's voice states that evolution is impossible for the two of you, because you have gone through a space-time distortion.
Anyway, there's nothing you could do about it so you return back to town. The 'Light Springs' becomes a dungeon, but you just go there directly without needing to go through any actual dungeons. And you don't need to evolve Pokemon one by one either, once you're within the light, there will be a list of all Pokemon ready for evolution, and you can evolve them all at once without needing to switch in and switch out.
Back in town, since you've graduated, you no longer stay at the Guild and live in the Sharpedo Cliff's room from now on. You can also switch leaders in your dungeon expeditions like MD1. The interesting thing though, is this change only takes place at the dungeons, so in Treasure Town, it always will be you and your partner walking around only.
2) Scizor
After doing several missions again, you find a Mr. Mime in Treasure Town one day, and it tells you about a famous explorer called Scizor who has gone missing after it visited the 'Blizzard Island', and so there you go.
Going through 'Blizzard Island' and then the subsequent 'Crevice Cave', you finally find Scizor frozen at the very end of the dungeon, and you must defeat the Froslass responsible for that. Scizor gets saved, and rewards you a special Secret Rank to you, which is in fact just an additional star to your emblem.
3) Manaphy
Some more missions later, you talk to Sunflora at the Guild one day, and it tells you about the 'Enclosed Sea', a place full of treasures, and so you head there. At the very end, you find a mysterious egg and takes it back to your base.
The next morning, it hatches into a Manaphy, and you take it back to the Guild to ask Chatot about it. Apparently, Manaphy is said to be a very rare Pokemon which only a few exist in the whole world, and like we all know, it lives in cold waters. Suddenly Manaphy begins to cry, and Chatot suggests you feed it Blue Gummies. Get some at the Shoreline Rockground if you don't have any with you.
On feeding Manaphy a second Blue Gummy, it will want to tag along with you out. And so you bring it to the shoreline where you were washed up the first time, and Manaphy is obviously very interested in the sea. That night, Manaphy suddenly goes missing, and you soon find it stranded alone on the shoreline.
What's worse is it seems to have developed a bad fever, and Chatot says you must find the sea nymphs known as Fione who make an item known as the Fione's Water to heal Manaphy. And so you head to the 'Miracle Sea'. At the very top, you see a gang of Fione, but then a Gyarados appears to threaten them, and once you ward off this sea dragon, the Fione reward you with the item.
On healing Manaphy, Chatot speaks the unspeakable and says it is perhaps best that Manaphy returns to the ocean, because afterall, that is its natural habitat. Though painful, you two decide that it's best, and watch Wigglytuff's friend in the northern seas, a Walrein, drag Manaphy away despite its protests. You both wish you will see Manaphy again someday.
4) The Regis
After several more missions, one day you find a famous exploration team called the Charms (Lopunny, Gardevoir and Medicham) at the Guild, and apparently they were good friends with Wigglytuff in the past. They talk about a legendary dungeon known as the 'Watchman Cave', which key is held by Wigglytuff. Wigglytuff initially forgets about it, but when it sees the World's Best Food apple Charms brought to it, it suddenly remembers again. It becomes so happy that it even refuses to join Charms on their mission. But you are keen to explore, and so you along with other Guild members tag along Charms.
At the 'Watchman Cave', it is mainly inhabited by Unowns, and each Unown has a chance of holding a stone engraved with their own alphabet letter on it (so there are a total of 28 types of alphabet stones). The only stones you really need are ones that spell out 'Ice', 'Rock' and 'Steel' actually.
You must go through the Ice Room first, which is only 3-layered, and then you will return to the entrance again where a stone block is. Once you have collected 'I' 'C' 'E', talk to the stone, and it will lead you to Regice's room. If you still don't have the required alphabets, go though the 3-room cycle agan.
The same goes for Regirock and Registeel, and upon defeating each Regi, they grant you a watchman's symbol. With all 3 symbols, you end up in Regigigas's room. Your symbols flash, and turn Regigigas as well as his team of Bronzongs and Hitmonlees from statues to real. Charms will team up with you to fight them. Defeat Regigigas, and it will thump the ground, opening up the true dungeon which holds treasures nearly, known as the 'Hidden Ruins'. You are not required to visit this dungeon though.
5) Palkia
On a stormy night, you remember how you and your partner are unable to evolve at the 'Light Springs' due to a space-time distortion, and get worried about it. Outside, a silhouette dashes away as Cresselia gives chase.
The next night, you get a dream, and Cresselia appears. It tells you that due to your existence, the world is beginning to fall apart. You keep getting recurrent dreams the next nights, and apparently, since you don't really belong to this era, your very existence has caused a split in the space dimension, and it is slowly expanding, which will eventually lead to the total destruction of the world.
The next morning, you are alarmed that Azurill has been unable to wake from its sleep, and is caught up in a very deep nightmare. Everyone at the Guild discuss what should be done, and Chatot believes that the only one that could help is perhaps Drowzee, who could enter people's dreams.
You are all hesitant because Drowzee used to be a criminal, but Magnemite tells you that it has already corrected its evil ways, and is now purifying its mind at the 'Mt. Practice'. So you head there, and find Drowzee at the very top. It agrees to help, and sends you two into Azurill's nightmare, which is another dungeon, 'Nightmare Center'.
At the very end, you see Cresselia again, and apparently your partner has been having the same dreams as you are. You being a person who does not belong to this time, and your partner, a Pokemon that has gone through the fabrics of time and experienced the space-time distortion. Together your existence will destroy the world, and thus Cresselia is determined to wipe you out from this world. Otherwise, everyone will soon be like Azurill, and get locked up in eternal nightmare. But then Drowzee appears just in time, and Cresselia disappears.
Back at the Guild, you and your partner tell everyone about the impedning world destruction due to a split in space, but leave out the cause being yourselves. That night, you two wonder if you really don't belong there, but agree that something seems off with Creselia's words.
The next day, you visit Lapras at the shoreline, and it talks about the parallel deity to Dialga. While Dialga is the time ruler, there is also a space ruler known as Palkia, and perhaps it will know what to do. Yet, Lapras has no idea how to reach Palkia either.
That night, Palkia suddenly shows up at your place, and drags you two away to its 'Sky Crack'. Apparently, Palkia deems your existence a threat to the world as well, and vows to annihilate you.
You two fall to the base of the dungeon, and must go through this dungeon, before meeting Palkia at the very end again. Your partner doesn't understand why as the ruler of space, Palkia isn't able to correct the split. Palkia states that while it normally is able to fix errors in space, somehow it fails to do so this time, and has no choice but to destroy you for the sake of the dimensional balance.
Defeat Palkia, and it will suddenly freeze. You notice that Palkis has entered a nightmare as well, and enters its nightmare just like you did with Azurill. Inside, Cresselia appears again, and you learn that it was actually Cresselia who told Palkia about you two. You realize that it was only Cresselia who has accused you as the cause of the distortion all along, and are even more convinced that something is wrong.
Just when Cresselia is about to deliver its deadly hit, another Cresselia appears, and apparently, this Cresselia you have seen all along is Darkrai in disguise. Darkrai flees, and says it shall await at the 'Dark Crater'.
You head back into town, where Cresselia heals Azurill. You then decide to have a final showdown with Darkrai, and Cresselia tags along.
At the very top of the 'Dark Crater', Darkrai finally reveals all the truth. Everything has been Darkrai's doing all along. It was responsible for breaking the main wheel at the 'Dimension Tower', causing a crevice in time and thus leading to Dialga's transformation into Dark Dialga. The reason why you and Grovyle were separated while you travel back in time was also because of Darkrai. One is most vulnerable while travelling through the voids of time, and while Darkrai ambushed you two, you took the hit for Grovyle and thus ended up losing your memory and turning into a Pokemon even, while Grovyle managed to stay intact.
Darkrai's intention is to shroud the world in total darkness and nightmare, and since you and your partner have together shattered its plot to create the Planet Cessation within the time dimension, it now turns to the space dimension, and creates a crack in it as well, causing an impending world destruction.
You three face off Darkrai and his very powerful team of minions, a Rhyperior, Mismagius, Magmortar, Arbok, Aggron and Magcargo. Defeat it, and Darkrai will request that you and your partner join it to create a world of darkness.
Cresselia is appalled at first when your partner agrees, and is even more terrified when you agree as well. But turns out, it's all your plan to edge close to Darkrai, because everything is just a nightmare, and nothing is real. Darkrai gets angry, and opens up a space-time hole again, preparing to escape. But then Palkia arrives just in time to deliver a deadly attack on Darkrai, shattering the hole together with it.
However, Palkia explains that Darkrai isn't really gone yet. Just like you, it has now been attacked within the voids of time, and most likely, it will end up in another era and place, with its memory wiped out. Palkia also assures you that everything in the space dimension has been healed, and while you and your partner's existence did cause a crack, it was just a minor one, and it has already fixed it long ago.
And so, back to Treasure Town we go. Your partner gets another monologue, and feels grateful that you two can live in harmony with others without causing harm. It mentions that although for some strange reason, you still cannot evolve at the 'Light Springs', it doesn't really matter anymore, since you are all happy.
6) Miscellaneous
After a few missions, one morning Chatot calls out to you, and you discover that Manaphy has all grown up and returned! It will join your team from now on. After yet another few missions, Manaphy will discover a new dungeon known as the 'Sea Resort', but it's not a compulsory dungeon, and only treasures lie there.
Here is the link where I found these spoilers:
https://pokesafariforos.com/showthread.php?t=4538
Well, after reading this plotline, I have this to say:
I was amazed by the amazing coection between Govyle and the player, and how it turned out to be the hero, and Dusknoir the actual villain. In this society of ours, all it takes is one small action to give a person a label of hero or villain. A person can say, "I will lead you to prosperity and peace!" And instantly become a false deity in the eyes of the people. But in fact, the misviewed deeds of those the real villains despise are the real motivations of goodness. I was crying when I envisioned Grovyle sacrificing its existence for the world and saying, "I'm glad to have had a friend like you." I hope somewhere, Grovyle lives in another dimension happily, where it is viewed as a good person at last.
I really enjoyed the fact that Team Poison Rose were big baddies in this game. I mean, they were totally bad! They embarass the partners and kiss up to an uptight Chatot, all while hurting others with their false goodness. I'm glad the Kabutops and Omastar gave them a good beating and taught them a lesson. I wonder if they were arrested and put away.
I also am kind of against the egative character of Chatot. From what I've read, he's a stuck-up, arrogant, and very hot-headed leutaeant. He doesn't look like a vbery friendly Pokemon. Still, I like the fact that he cares for the members of the Wigglytuff Guild, as shown in the cave scene.
I was kind of confused when Darkrai entered the story. He said that he made the Planet Cessation, when in fact Dusknoir said that Grovyle's stealing the wheels resulted in this. So yeah, maybe if Dusknoir had pretended to be Darkrai, that woulda made sense, but hey.
Overall, great story plot! I hope MD Time comes out in the US soon.
