-At first, Grovyle is believed to be a villain, supposedly trying to steal the [[Time Gear]]s to cause the planet's paralysis. He steals the Time Gears from [[Treeshroud Forest]] and [[Limestone Cavern]] without resistance. The Time Gear of [[Fogbound Lake]] is stolen next after defeating {{p|Uxie}} and the fake {{p|Groudon}}. After that, he steals the Time Gear guarded by {{p|Mesprit}}, who was weakened by attacking the {{player}} and its partner. Finally, he defeats {{p|Azelf}}, intending to steal his Time Gear, but Azelf covers the lake in crystal to prevent him from getting it. The player's team confronts Grovyle, but despite their best efforts, they are defeated by him (while it is possible to defeat Grovyle in the battle, the cutscene is the same regardless). He nearly kills the player's partner, but {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}, a famous explorer from the future who is trying to stop Grovyle as well, chases him off. Dusknoir finally captures him, but before taking Grovyle back to the future, he takes the player and partner with him. There, Dusknoir has his {{p|Sableye}} attempt to execute the player, their partner, and Grovyle. Thanks to Grovyle's quick thinking, they escape. The three find a {{shiny}} {{mdc|Celebi|2}}, who Grovyle used to travel into the past in the first place, so the trio can return to the past. However, Dusknoir, his Sableye, and Dusknoir's master, [[Primal Dialga]] arrive to stop them. It is then that Grovyle learns that the player is in fact, the human partner he traveled back in time with.
+Prior to the events of the story, Grovyle and the {{player}} met in the paralyzes future and, upon discovering they both wanted to reverse the sad fate they live in, resolve to work together to undo the circumstances that caused the planet's paralysis. Once it was discovered that the player had a rare ability called the [[Dimensional Scream]], they used this power to find the locations of [[Time Gear]]s, ancient relics that regulated the flow of time when the world wasn't paralyzed. During this time, they recruited members for a special group called the Planetary Investigation Team, including a {{shiny}} {{mdc|Celebi|2}} that immediately developed a not so subtle crush on Grovyle, and gather intelligence about [[Temporal Tower]] while avoiding attempts made by [[Primal Dialga]] and his top lieutenant, {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}, to prevent them from succeeding.
+Upon discerning the locations of the five Time Gears necessary to stop the planet's paralysis, Grovyle and the player confer with Celebi on how to get back to the past, and she reveals that she uses a tunnel called the Passage of Time whenever she needs to travel long distances in time. However, at some point, they learn that, should they manage to succeed with their plan, they'll be erased from time due to being from a future that will no longer exist. Though disheartened by the news, they ultimately decide this is for the best as any future that isn't as bleak as the world they live in is well worth the sacrifice. However, their attempt to execute their plan in the past hits an immediate snag when {{mdc|Darkrai|2|an unknown attacker}} intercepts and attacks them mid time travel, inflicting serious damage to the player when they intercept the attack and causing them to be separated as a result.
+Upon waking up in the Eastern Forest, Grovyle is greeted by the first sunrise he's ever seen in his life, which emotionally overwhelmed him and strengthened his resolve. However, he is unable to find the player anywhere, forcing him to assume they are likely searching for the Time Gears from where they are and proceed alone. He manages to collect the Time Gears from [[Treeshroud Forest]] and [[Limestone Cavern]] without resistance, but runs into a roadblock at [[Fogbound Lake]] when its guardian, {{p|Uxie}}, interferes with his attempt to collect it. Grovyle manages to collect the Time Gear, but Uxie escapes and warns the public of what happened, painting Grovyle as a wicked thief who is 'stealing' the Time Gears for some sinister motive.
+While combing [[Quicksand Desert]] for any clues relating to that location's Time Gear, Grovyle spots an unknown exploration team looking for it as well. Following them, he eventually discovers [[Quicksand Cave|a hidden cave system buried under a quicksand pit]] that eventually leads him to the Time Gear. Using this to his advantage, Grovyle allows the team to incapacitate the Time Gear's guardian, {{p|Mesprit}}, allowing him to swoop in and take the Time Gear with minimal resistance. With this leg of the plan nearly accomplished, Grovyle quickly heads to [[Crystal Cave]] to deal with the last Time Gear and its guardian, {{p|Azelf}}. He manages to defeat the [[Lake guardian]], but before he can make a move on the Time Gear, Azelf reveals his trump card: having been forewarned that Grovyle was coming and anticipating the possibility that he might not be able to slow him down, Azelf set up a defensive barricade of crystals around the lake to prevent the 'thief' from getting near the Time Gear.
+Blinded by fury over being robbed of his chance to save the world, Grovyle vents his frustration by attacking Azelf and the unknown exploration team, who followed him to the cave in order to stop him. Grovyle attempts to strike down one of the team's Pokemon, but, to his horror, he is stopped by Dusknoir, who followed him in order to protect the paralyzed future, forcing him to make a hasty retreat. As he struggles to come up with a new plan to get the Crystal Cave Time Gear, Grovyle does some reconnaissance and discovers that the Lake Trio are attempting to come up with a way to seal that Time Gear away permanently. Horrified, Grovyle rushes back to the cave to secure the Time Gear, never realizing until too late that this was actually a ruse by Dusknoir to lure him into a trap. Bound and gagged, Grovyle is dragged in front of [[Treasure Town|a local village]], where he learns that Dusknoir mislead [[Wigglytuff's Guild|a renowned exploration guild]] into doing his dirty work for him. Unable to speak up and defend himself, Grovyle is forced into a nearby Dimensional Hole by two of Dusknoir's {{p|Sableye}} minions.

-Back in the past, Grovyle reveals that he and the player (as a human) were trying to solve the mystery of the paralyzed planet. After traveling to the past, the player and Grovyle got {{mdc|Darkrai|2|separated, with the player losing memory and turning into a Pokémon}}, and Grovyle attempting to find the Time Gears. Recovering the Time Gears was meant to stop [[Temporal Tower]] from collapsing, sending Dialga into a primal rage, and paralyzing the planet. Dusknoir, as opposed to stopping Grovyle from freezing time, had been sent back in time by Primal Dialga to ensure time would freeze. Grovyle, the player, and the partner recover the Time Gear of Treeshroud Forest, noticing that time had already stopped even with the Time Gear still in place. Grovyle heads out alone to recover the other Gears, made easier by the Team revealing the truth about him and Dusknoir to everyone else. They head to the [[Hidden Land]], which leads to Temporal Tower. However, they are confronted by Dusknoir. After finally defeating him and his Sableye, Dusknoir reveals to the player that if the mission is successful, all Pokémon from the future will be erased from history. Grovyle confirms this and intercepts an attack by Dusknoir meant for the player. He is then forced to send himself and Dusknoir back to the future, leaving the Time Gears with the player and partner. After time has been restored, he, as well as Dusknoir, the player, and Primal Dialga, become erased from time. However, in return for their bravery and for the heartbroken partner, the player is restored by Dialga's time-warping powers.
+After arriving back in the future, Grovyle is immediately slated for execution along with the exploration team, whom were captured by Dusknoir as well. Confused but undeterred, Grovyle manipulates the Sableye to cut the three of them loose, then uses a combination of a {{DL|Wonder Orb|Luminous Orb}} and {{m|Dig}} into order for them to escape. However, an argument breaks out when a Pokemon on the team is unable to look past Dusknoir's smear campaign to work with Grovyle, causing him to go ahead. Attempting to reach the forest where he first met Celebi, Grovyle inadvertently runs afoul a nearby {{p|Spiritomb}}. Fortunately, he is rescued by the exploration team, who have come to realize that, although they can't trust him, they are willing to work with him in order to get back to their own time.
+After giving the team the rundown of their future and his reasons for traveling to the past, Grovyle takes them to meet Celebi, though he overlooks when she seems to recognize one of the Pokemon on the team. She informs them that a Passage of Time has opened on a nearby cliff and offers to take them there. However, just as they reach it, Dusknoir and the Sableye, along with Primal Dialga itself, intervene. Knowing they are severely outmatched, Grovyle voluntarily gives up, contending that the player will succeed where he failed. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise and drops a major bombshell on him: one of the Pokemon in the team was actually the player the whole time, having been turned into a Pokemon and losing all memory of his past durning the time travel accident; when Dusknoir discovered this, he manipulated the player and Grovyle into unknowingly betraying each other. Utterly horrified, Grovyle's spirit is briefly crushed, but quickly bounces back when the partner, the only one not directly affected by this revelation, and Celebi manage to get them close enough to the Passage of Time for the three of them to escape back to the present.
+Back in the present, due to everyone in this time believing Grovyle is a notorious criminal, the group take shelter in the partner's old home, [[Sharpedo Bluff]], where Grovyle brings the player up to speed on everything they had forgotten. While resting to prepare to reclaim the Time Gears, Grovyle has a conversation with the partner, where he asks why they were able to keep their head in the future when they knew they were in grave danger; when the partner casually explains it was merely because the player was there, Grovyle realizes that the player has brought out the best in him. The group then resumes the plan to collect the Time Gears starting with the one at Treeshroud Forest, which Grovyle knows first hand is relatively unguarded. However, when they discover that time in Treeshroud Forest has remained frozen despite the return of the Time Gear, Grovyle realizes that Temporal Tower's collapse is progressing faster than he anticipated.
+Knowing they won't be able to stop the planet's paralysis at the rate they're going, Grovyle sends the player and partner to find the [[Hidden Land]], the mysterious area that houses Temporal Tower, while he gathers the Time Gears. This time, the collection proceeds smoothly as the Lake Trio were informed by Wigglytuff's Guild, whom the player had been connected to and who wholeheartedly believe them, of Grovyle's good intentions and, knowing they had no other explanation as to why time was still corroding away, willingly gave him their Time Gears. Once the five Time Gears necessary were in his possession, Grovyle is approached by {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}}, who informs him that the player is close to finding the Hidden Land's location and that he needed to go with him to [[Brine Cave]] in order to hook up with them. Arriving just as they chase off some thugs who had injured {{mdc|Chatot|2}} along with the rest of the Guild, Wigglytuff sends him, the player, and the partner ahead while he takes Chatot back for treatment.
+Once the group reaches the Hidden Land, Grovyle leads them into its depths in search of a Rainbow Stoneship. Arriving at some ruins, they discover that the interior temple is in fact the Rainbow Stoneship but needs the partner's Relic Fragment to activate it. However, they are intercepted before they can activate it by Dusknoir and the Sableye, having been warped there directly to intercept them rather than waste time tracking them down all over again. After a tough battle, Dusknoir is defeated, forcing the Sableye to retreat in shock and giving the partner time to activate the Rainbow Stoneship. However, Dusknoir come too and reminds them of what will happen should they go through with stopping the planet's paralysis. Grovyle admits to the player that this is the case and that they had accepted what must happen to them as inevitable, but laments one new flaw in their plan: while they can accept what will happen to them, he's not sure the partner will be able to take it as easily and fears he might regress to his old timid nature should he find out his closest friend might disappear from his life. However, this gives Dusknoir enough time to recover and attack the player, forcing Grovyle to make the ultimate sacrifice: dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle subdues Dusknoir and pushes them into a nearby Dimensional Hole, sending both of them back to the paralyzed future and giving the player and partner time to save Temporal Tower. After time has been restored, he, as well as Dusknoir, the player, Celebi, the Sableye, and Primal Dialga become erased from time. However, in return for their bravery and for the heartbroken partner, the player is restored by Dialga's time-warping powers.
