Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Difference between revisions

One day, the player finds Corphish at the guild's intersection, saying to go talk to Sunflora about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a land that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the Surrounded Sea, supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a Wonder Egg, along with a warp tile that will get the player out of the dungeon. The next morning, the egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chaot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in Miracle Sea. At the end of the dungeon, there are six Phione, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking Gyarados. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured after a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.  

   

Later, in the player's dreams, {{p|Darkrai}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their continued existence is causing a distortion in space. On the night before going to Palkia for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to it's domain, the Spacial Rift. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. Darkrai (still disguised as Cresseila) tries to finish off the team using Palkia, but it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of Darkrai, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia thinks it is a trap, because normally Darkrai run away when found, doing its work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans, by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible from everything right from the beginning, from the collapse of the Temporal Tower to the player's very own transformation. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. Then Darkrai makes it look like the player's partner joined him but it's not real. The team battles Darkrai and wins, but Darkrai attempts to flee. However, Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on Darkrai. But instead of destroying it, it merely erases its memories, therefore turning Darkrai good. Darkrai's location is "Currently" unknown because the Dimensional Hole that Darkrai traveled to before getting hit by Palkia's attack, it is stated he might have lost his memory and turned good. Darkrai's location is now known. If the player go Mystifying Forest, (the forest for the Graduation exam), on the 13th floor the player will see Darkrai if they have a Mystery Part or Secret Slab (Obtained via Wonder Mail mission) in their treasure bag.
