 While combing Quicksand Desert for any clues relating to that location's Time Gear, Grovyle spots an unknown group of Pokémon in an 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 from the defenders. 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 the unknown exploration team, who followed him to the cave in order to stop him. Grovyle defeats the team after a battle (the player can win, but it will still be treated as a loss) and attempts to strike down [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|one of its Pokémon]], 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 hears 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 while he still can, never realizing until too late that this rumor was actually a ruse by Dusknoir to lure him into a trap. Defeated, 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]], amongst that guild's members being two Pokémon of the unknown exploration team, into helping him secure the capture. Unable to speak up and reveal the truth, Grovyle is forced into a nearby Dimensional Hole by two of Dusknoir's {{p|Sableye}} minions.

-After arriving back in the future, Grovyle is immediately slated for execution along with the two guild members of the exploration team, whom were captured by Dusknoir after Grovyle was sent through the Dimensional Hole. Confused but undeterred by this pair's situation, 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 one of the Pokémon on the team, who had come to deeply look up to Dusknoir, cannot tear themselves away from Dusknoir's influence enough to counsider working with Grovyle, prompting him to go ahead alone. 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 accept that, although they can't trust him, they will need 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, as well as Dusknoir's role as the loyal agent of Primal Dialga, Grovyle takes them to meet Celebi, who unusually seems to recognize one of the Pokémon 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 himself intervene, with Dusknoir claiming that the escapees were being followed so that Celebi could be caught too. Knowing they are severely outmatched with Primal Dialga present, Grovyle voluntarily gives up, but reveals that he has a friend presumably still in the past whom he is sure will succeed where he failed, a fact which he takes final comfort in. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise and drops a major bombshell on him: One of the Pokémon in the exploration team was actually Grovyle's lost friend, the player, this whole time. Grovyle initially refutes Dusknoir's claim as his friend is a human, until Dusknoir explains that the player was previously a human, having been turned into a Pokémon and losing all memory of their past during their time travel accident. When Dusknoir discovered that this "Pokémon" possessed the Dimensional Scream and was told their name, he had acted to befriend the team and led his two time-travelling targets into unknowingly turning against each other. Utterly horrified at the sheer extent of Dusknoir's machinations and knowing that there was truly no hope left for this future, Grovyle's spirit is crushed, but then the player's partner, now finally awakened to the truth behind their hero and angered by his unashamed manipulation of their best friend, gets the idea of Celebi teleporting them close enough to the Passage of Time. This plan works despite Primal Dialga's interference and the three of them escape back to the present, after which Celebi closes the passage and narrowly avoids capture herself.
