As in previous games, the {{player}} is a [[human]] who has been transformed into a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} child, and has appeared in a {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon|world inhabited only by Pokémon}}. The player has lost all memories of being a human, aside from the fact that they were human. Soon after this, the player is attacked by a trio of {{mdc|Beheeyem|smd}}. In a bid to escape, the player encounters a {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} who helps the player escape the Beheeyem, bringing them to [[Serene Village]] and taking them in. As the player looks about schooling age, Nuzleaf has the player enrolled in the village school, where they meet the {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Mystery Dungeon}}. The partner is a mischievous troublemaker who has a dream of joining the [[Expedition Society]] and making a map of the entire known world. Together with the partner and classmates, the player has several adventures, some of which bring them in contact with {{mdc|Ampharos|smd}}, who grants them Junior Expedition Society Badges (as children are not allowed to join, due to rules by the chief). The partner also shares their [[Harmony Scarf|Harmony Scarves]] with the player - a pair of striped scarves found with the partner when the partner's adoptive father, {{mdc|Carracosta|smd}}, discovered them. | As in previous games, the {{player}} is a [[human]] who has been transformed into a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} child, and has appeared in a {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon|world inhabited only by Pokémon}}.

Eventually, Nuzleaf leads the player and partner on an expedition to Revelation Mountain, a sacred location guarded by the villagers, in hopes of obtaining insight into the player's amnesiac condition. However, they are forced to abandon the expedition due to the Pokémon patrolling the area. Determined, the partner proposes to the player that they both leave the village for [[Lively Town]] and join the Expedition Society, despite their fellow villagers discouraging this.

After a harrowing journey, the pair make it to Lively Town and meet the Expedition Society, discovering that Ampharos is actually its leader. Ampharos revokes his rule banning children from joining and officially declares the player and partner members of the Society. | ||

On one such expedition, they discover {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}'s petrified bodies, having crash landed after turning into stone in mid-air. They also encounter {{p|Entei}}, who believes the player to be somehow responsible. Shortly after, Ampharos leads the Society on an expedition to a [[Fire Island|volcanic island]] where Entei lives, to confirm his own suspicions about the rumors. In a battle with Entei, the Harmony Scarves suddenly resonate and cause the player and partner to evolve into their final forms (albeit [[Devolution|temporarily]]), allowing them to hold Entei back until Ampharos arrives and declares a truce. | ||
Some time later, written warnings begin appearing around town, declaring that Legendary Pokémon are the ones being targeted and the next victim will be Entei. The Society rushes to intercept the rendezvous, but Entei has already been petrified. Moreover, suspicion has now fallen on {{mdc|Krookodile|smd}}, a local gangster. The Society splits into two investigative teams: one to research how to reverse the petrification, and one to pursue Krookodile. The player's pursuit team chases Krookodile up Revelation Mountain, meeting up with Nuzleaf in the process, discovering a shimmering lake at the summit protected by a pyramid-shaped barrier. The partner, deciphering ancient runes left nearby to everyone's surprise, reveals that only a human can break the barrier, and the other investigative team reports that the lake's Luminous Water is an antidote for the petrification. Just then, Krookodile shows up, as well as {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}} who seek to avenge Entei's defeat. Forced to make a decision, the player breaks the lake's barrier, and Krookodile outs Nuzleaf as the one who paid him to write the warnings. Nuzleaf's demeanor changes, revealing himself to be the one responsible for the petrification incidents. Summoning {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} to his side, Nuzleaf turns the player's team, Krookodile, Raikou and Suicune into stone; elsewhere, the Beheeyem turn the other investigative team to stone as well. | Some time later, written warnings begin appearing around town, declaring that Legendary Pokémon are the ones being targeted and the next victim will be Entei.

The player and partner awaken in a bleak landscape known as the [[Voidlands]], where all Pokémon who are turned to stone are sent to. They manage to regroup with the other members of the Society, as well as the [[Legendary beasts]] and make their way through the Voidlands.

They manage to regroup with the other members of the Society, as well as the [[Legendary beasts]] and make their way through the Voidlands. Coming across various runes deciphered by the partner, they learn that an evil force known as [[Dark Matter]] is responsible for the current crisis: an embodiment of the darkness and negativity residing in all Pokémon, which feeds off the energy of its victims, turning them to stone as a result. Dark Matter appeared in the ancient past, but was stopped before it could spread its influence and destroy the planet by possessing a landmark known as the Tree of Life. Some of the group are captured by [[Void Shadows]], blob-like minions of Dark Matter capable of assuming the forms of Pokémon. The rest of the team manages to reach the Door of Light, a portal back to their world, heavily guarded by more Void Shadows. The rest of the group holds the Void Shadows back, allowing the player and partner to return to their world. | ||

Ampharos, together with Society astronomer {{p|Jirachi}}, have done their own investigations on Dark Matter, and evacuated the shopkeepers into Society Headquarters. The player chances upon one of the Beheeyem from earlier and attacks him with the partner. The Beheeyem declares that he isn't an enemy; he managed to break free from Dark Matter's mind control which was prompting him to commit unspeakable acts. He reveals that he came to lead the way to the [[Tree of Life]] so the player can save it. Choosing to believe Beheeyem, the player and partner journey with Beheeyem to the [[Prehistoric Ruins]], only to find that it is a trap by Nuzleaf. Nuzleaf reveals that the player once clashed with Dark Matter as a human, which is why the Beheeyem fought them to begin with; the player's amnesia apparently happened as a result of the Beheeyem's Psychic attacks. Nuzleaf had masqueraded as an ally so he could gain the player's trust and eventually be led to the Luminous Water, and destroy it so Dark Matter's plans can continue uninterrupted. Before Nuzleaf can petrify the player a second time, Ampharos appears with Jirachi and {{p|Celebi}}, the latter teleporting everyone to [[Road to Primeval Forest]], where the Tree of Life is. | ||
Celebi confirms that Dark Matter had once threatened the world by attempting to attack the Tree of Life, which would have resulted in the planet crashing into the Sun had the tree died, but was defeated due to the combined efforts of a human and Pokémon. The player is assumed to be the same human, now brought to their present world by the power of an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}, to defeat Dark Matter as it has resurfaced. The Harmony Scarves worn by the player and partner were made using materials from the Tree of Life; their temporary evolutions were triggered as a result of the Tree's power. | Celebi confirms that Dark Matter had once threatened the world by attempting to attack the Tree of Life, which would have resulted in the planet crashing into the Sun had the tree died, but was defeated due to the combined efforts of a human and Pokémon.

The group makes their way to the center of the forest, discovering that the Tree of Life has already been possessed by Dark Matter and is almost completely dead. Nuzleaf, the Beheeyem and Yveltal attack the group, who manage to defeat them and wrest their minds from Dark Matter's control.

However, Dark Matter steals Nuzleaf's group away and uproots the Tree of Life, causing it to rise into the sky and eventually crash into the sun. However, {{p|Arceus}} reaches out to the player and partner, revealing that Ampharos rallied together many allies, including {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Rayquaza}}, and Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} Y, to hold the Tree of Life in place and slow its ascent, as well as a flock of various {{t|Flying}} Pokémon to attack the Tree from the sky. Arceus sends the player and partner to the Tree's roots; in their evolved states, the pair make their way up the Tree, also freeing Nuzleaf's group in the process and urging them to escape. | ||
Eventually, the two discover Dark Matter at the tree's core. Dark Matter brings them into a pocket dimension, and although they manage to break Dark Matter, they fail to destroy it completely. Dark Matter intensifies its power, killing the Tree of Life and reverting the player and partner to their original forms. Dark Matter sends out waves of darkness, petrifying all the Pokémon holding the Tree in place, and taunts the player for having nothing left to fight for. However, the player and partner realize that they still have the hope to keep on living, and begin striking at Dark Matter's regenerated barrier, soon joined by Yveltal, Nuzleaf and Beheeyem who seek to atone for their misdeeds. The voices of all petrified Pokémon flow towards the player, urging them not to give up, and eventually Dark Matter's protective shield breaks. Together with the partner, the player attacks Dark Matter's core and finally defeats Dark Matter. Before the player can destroy Dark Matter, Dark Matter threatens to resurface again in the distant future; since all Pokémon have darkness in their hearts, it can never be completely destroyed. To Dark Matter's surprise, the partner accepts this outcome, because if Dark Matter is borne from everyone's negativity, Dark Matter is a part of this world, too. The player and partner shatter Dark Matter's core in a final attack, which faintly thanks the player for their actions. | Eventually, the two discover Dark Matter at the tree's core.

The player and partner are brought back to Primeval Forest, discovering that the Tree of Life has returned as well, but this time in its fully flourished state. {{p|Xerneas}} appears from the Tree as its embodiment, explaining that Dark Matter has now completely gone upon finally finding peace; all the Pokémon that were turned into stone have likewise been fully restored. The player and partner return to Lively Town and Serene Village, rejoicing and celebrating with their friends. However, the player realizes that if they saved the world in the past, they probably had to return to the human world at some point. Finding that they wish to stay in the Pokémon world with their partner, the player resolves to find a way that allows them to stay. | The player and partner are brought back to Primeval Forest, discovering that the Tree of Life has returned as well, but this time in its fully flourished state. {{p|Xerneas}} appears from the Tree as its embodiment, explaining that Dark Matter has now completely gone upon finally finding peace; all the Pokémon that were turned into stone have likewise been fully restored.

The partner is actually a reincarnation of Mew, who fought Dark Matter with the player in the distant past. However, they actually failed in their attempt, and so devised a plan to prepare future generations in the event Dark Matter ever returned, including the Luminous Water seal atop Revelation Mountain. Mew had wiped both their memories to prevent them from making the same mistakes that led to their failure in the past, and now that Mew has fulfilled its role, the partner has to leave the player forever. Rising into the sky in a ball of light, the partner thanks the player for all the times they had together and disappears, saddening the player. | ||
