Dusknoir (Mystery Dungeon)



Dusknoir is a Pokémon who came from the future. He was once thought of as

A friend, but was later revealed as deceaving everyone. However, in the fifth special episode, it is shown that he became nicer after working side by side with Grovyle.

He was an agent working for Primal Dialga who came to the present from the future. He was set out after Grovyle in order to stop him from saving the future. Time in the future was frozen, because Temporal Tower had collapsed. In order for Grovyle to prevent that, he would have to stop Temporal Tower from collapsing. This, in turn, would have a paradox effect on the future. Because the future was changed, it would reset the future. As part of that, anyone who came from the future would be erased from time. This included Grovyle, Dusknoir, and Primal Dialga.

The reason Dusknoir wanted to destroy Grovyle was because Dialga ordered him. He, besides preventing Dialga from disapearing, was in fact scared himself of disappearing.

Spoiler Warning ': 'Plot and/or ending details follow.

Dusknoir came from the future in order to capture Grovyle. He was idmired as a wise explorer. However, he was just gathering imformation on the player. This was to find out if they were the one he was looking for.

Throughout the game he is informed by the player's partner about so-called dizzy spells the player has whenever they touch something. Dusknoir immediately recognizes it as the Dimensional Scream. Later on in the game while on the beach, Dusknoir asks what the player's name is. After that, he knows who this is and creates a plan on how to destroy them, along with Grovyle.

When he tells everyone that Grovyle is stealing Time Gears, they all set out to find and capture him. This is merely because Dusknoir wanted them to catch him for him.

At one point, the team is informed by Officer Magnizone that Grovyle has been captured.

Dusknoir and Everyone gather at Treasure Town, where Dusknoir has opened up a Dimensional Hole.

He tells everyone that he and Grovyle are both from the future.

This surprises everyone. He asks Mesprit, Uxie and Azelf to return the Time Gears to their rightful places.

After that, he wishes to say goodbye to the team. When they say goodbye, He says it's too late for goodbyes, grabs them, and proceeds to the future.

Everyone hardly believes their eyes.

At the future, he trys to destroy them, but they manage to escape. This occured as the Sableye's Fury Swipes had cut the rope.

When Dusknoir and Grovyle go back to the future after the battle at the Hidden Land, they are forced to work together. At one point, Grovyle is saved from a chunk of ice by Dusknoir. Dusknoir is badly injured.

Grovyle says that Dusknoir would never risk his life just for a plan to succeed, and determines that Dusknoir saving him was genuine.

Near the end of the episode, Grovyle is caught in the electricity of the icicles in Icicle Forest. Dusknoir says that everything has been a plan, and that the electricity would melt his spirit, leaving an empty shell. He says that he would go back to the present with Grovyle's persona, slowly pulling the player and partner into his grasp so that he may finally kill them.

After all this, Grovyle says that along their adventure, he sensed Dusknoir's feelings of hatred had vanished.

Dusknoir states that it is untrue, but Grovyle finally proves to everyone.

For the last time, the duo, along with Celebi, team up and find Dialga to stop him from going into the Dimensional Hole until time is changed. After they all disappear, they reappear, and Dialga, back to his own self, says that a being on a higher tier than himself brought them back. After this, Grovyle sends a message saying to the team that they didn't vanish. The credits show after that.
