Once you enter the main room, instead of the usual Morning Cheer, Chatot gives grave news to the guild members--a Time Gear has been stolen at Treeshound Forest!  Everyone panics, but Chatot says they all need to stop and go on to their work.  The game then stops again to let the player walk around a bit, however Chatot comes again shortly afterward.  He tells you about your first official exploration, causing your partner to get overexcited.  Once you go upstairs, Chimecho will call you over and talk about how you can now recruit friends.  She says some Pokémon, after you defeat them, will become impressed and want to become a team member. After this, go to Treasure Town and pick Secret Waterfall, where your mission will take place.

== Expanding Your Team==
Before recruiting, let's note that accuracy and move in this game does not always correlate to main series. Thankfully, this is the first game that lets you see an approximate accuracy and power rating of a move in-game:

In this game, the power of the move is an additive bonus rather than multiplicative and as such, the range of numbers is smaller (as large numbers are not ''as'' important). Here are some numbers for reference:
*Tackle, Pound and Scratch are the three basic starter moves in main series. They all have 6 base power here, but Tackle has 95% accuracy and 30 PP, while Pound and Scratch have 90% accuracy and 27 and 28PP, respectively. This makes Tackle more accurate in this game, despite being the less accurate one in main series at the time.
*The three "decently powerful and accurate" moves of the Fire-Electric-Ice core have 18 power/83.6% accuracy/12PP (Flamethrower), 15 power/83.6% accuracy/8PP (Ice Beam) and 18 power/73.92% accuracy/10PP (Thunderbolt).
*The highest base power of a move is Giga Impact at 60 (but only 4PP and 80% accuracy); the strongest move where the only drawback is somewhat shaky accuracy is Thunder with 45 power, 7PP and 73% accuracy.
*Zap Cannon has 20 power, 9PP and 61.75% accuracy, while DynamicPunc has 10 power, 13PP and 78% accuracy, giving them more PP and accuracy than in main series. Most moves in this game PP-wise tend to be in 10-19 range.
*Focus Blast, infamous for its 70% accuracy, has 80% accuracy here (and 6PP with 25 power).
*Certain moves, such as {{m|Dig}}, secretly double damage at the end of their calculation and are always marked as 8 stars power wise.
===Drenched Bluff===
Pokémon marked in bold can be recruited only in this one dungeon. They might be available via other methods, such as joining after completing a board mission, but these methods are not reliable.
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed roundy" style="margin:auto; border: 3px solid #{{MD sky color}}; padding:3px">
*'''Lileep'''. F IQ group. Doesn't learn any notable other than natural Energy Ball at postgame levels and Confuse Ray in main story (as well as the typical Bullet Seed). Notably one of the few non-Water type Pokémon that don't fly or however but can still walk on water.
*'''Anorith''': E IQ Group. Learns Protect naturally relatively early, then Fury Cutter (which in this game hits twice in one turn) and STAB Rock Blast. Like Lileep, it can walk on water, but unlike it, it loses that ability upon evolving.
*'''Shellos (West)''': E IQ Group. While Sticky Hold is very niche in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon due to how losing items works, Storm Drain is very useful. It redirects all Water-type attacks in the room to the user and unlike in main series at the time, neutralizes them, making it an useful partner if your team is weak to Water moves. It also learns some useful moves early on, such as Mud Sport to weaken Electric-type attacks (being one of the few non-Ground Pokémon to learn it and thus benefit from it) or natural Water Pulse (as well as the typical Water-type TMs).
*'''Chingling''': B IQ group; this is the first Pokémon in an IQ group that the starters do not have access to, with B focusing mostly on support skills (most notably being the only group to have access to both Nature Gift and Pierce Hurler, the only other group with Fast Friend, as well as one of only two groups with Haggler, which improves buying/selling prices in shops by 20%). Very shallow natural movepool, with the only usable offensive moves being Astonish and Confusion, and its only notable TM moves being Shock Wave, Shadow Ball and Thunder Wave. It does get access to Levitate however, making it completely immune to Ground-type moves (some of which can become very annoying in the future). Pokémon with Levitate in this game also hover, meaning they can travel through all terrain except walls.

===Mt. Bristle===
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed roundy" style="margin:auto; border: 3px solid #{{MD sky color}}; padding:3px">
*Machop: D IQ group. No Guard in this game is very niche as it simply ignores ''changes'' to accuracy and evasion, rather than skipping the checks altogether, but Guts can still help once in a while given how many Pokémon you'll have to encounter. All offensive moves it learns are Fighting-type, but thankfully type immunities don't matter as strongly in this game. It has access to Low Kick and Karate Chop early on, which are pretty accurate and have decent amount of PP. For reference, high crit moves in this game are 30%, while normal moves are 8% (with some moves, mostly multi-hit moves, having even lower chance), as well as Focus Energy to guarantee the critical hits. Revenge in this game works like Bide, while Vital Throw simply gives status that makes user throw attackers away. It does learn some type coverage via TMs, such as Poison Jab, Dig, Rock Slide and even Flamethrower.
*Geodude: E IQ group. Naturally learns somewhat interesting moves at main story-ish levels: Rock Blast and Rollout for STAB multi-hit moves (unfortunately Defense Curl does not boost the latter in this game), Magnitude and Earthquake for room damage (though they're risky since they hit allies as well), Selfdestruct and Explosion to inflict 40/80 fixed damage to Pokémon on opposing side within 1/2 tiles of user, while cutting HP of your side's Pokémon by half, or Rock Polish, which while not as useful as Agility due to working only on user, increases its Movement Speed by 2 stages at once, letting it run away in case things get awkward.
*Doduo: D IQ Group. Learns Quick Attack and Fury Attack early on, eventually learns Agility. It also has access to Pursuit (which reflects physical moves in this game) and Accupressure (which in this game not only affects every ally in room, but also has surprisingly high amount of PP for what it does). Early Bird cuts the amount of sleep turns in half, which in this game can be a devastating status. Unfortunately, Run Away is a terrible ability for AI partners, and you will not be able to switch the leader Pokémon for quite a while.
*Spinarak: F IQ group. While its early moveset isn't too interesting aside from String Shot being a projectile that slows down target (effectively being superior to Scary Face in all ways), it eventually learns Shadow Sneak, Sucker Punch, Fury Swipes, and around late main story/early postgame, even Agility and Pin Missile. Notably, it learns Psychic naturally. Insomnia is useful, given how detrimental sleep can be in this game.
*Starly: D IQ group. Gets STAB Quick Attack and Wing Attack, which as you might have witnessed can deals ome decent damage. It eventually learns Whirlwind (which works like Roar), Aerial Ace and even Agility. Unfortunately this Pokémon family does not fly over tiles - many Pokémon that seem like they could fly do not in this game.
*Nidorina and Nidorino: Both are pretty similar, being in C IQ group and having nearly the same TM compatibility (with only difference being Aerial Ace on Nidorina), with some decent moves such as Blizzard or Thunderbolt. Their natural movesets have some similarities: both learn Double Kick early on and Helping Hand (which in this game simply increases teammates attacking stats - and ''only'' teammates), with more notable differences being Nidorino learning Peck and Focus Energy instead of Scratch and Tail Whip, Fury Attack instead of Fury Swipes (with the latter being beter), or Horn Attack and Poison Jab instead of Bite and Crunch (with the latter helping to cover for Psychic-types).

Once you feel ready, go to Treasure Town and pick Secret Waterfall, where your mission will take place.

Clearly harder than the last two levels.  There are plenty of Water Pokémon here, and now that you have the power to recruit members, some may want to be part of your team.

This is the first dungeon to spawn items meant to be held: in this case, items related to attacking stats: Power Band, Special Band and Twist Band.

====Kecleon Shop====
This is the first dungeon to feature Kecleon shops. They might appear on a floor at random; in this case chance is 8-10% depending on the floor. You can sell items to them or purchase from them. You ''can'' steal, but they will fight you and they are by far the strongest enemy in the game, being dangerous even in late postgame at Lv. 100. Stealing from them early on requires some help from items that you don't quite have access to yet.
