===The legend of the Time Gears===
===The legend of the Time Gears===


One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild, make an expedition to a location called [[Fogbound Lake]], a lake seemingly covered in fog. During this time, they draw the ire of Team Skull, in particular their leader {{p|Skuntank}}, whom decide to make their lives a living hell, including tricking Wigglytuff to let them join the expedition for that purpose. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. This point is pushed home when Chimecho relays the story of the [[Lake guardians|Lake Guardian]], {{mdc|Uxie|2}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Convinced that their memory loss is due to having a negative encounter with Uxie, the player, along with the partner, resolves to find Fogbound Lake in order to discern the truth. After escaping a trap from Team Skull (who are, in turn, assaulted By Wigglytuff after he discerns their true intentions), the two reach the top, where they find and defeat {{p|Groudon}} to find out that it was only an illusion made by Uxie. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure. However, Uxie also reveals that he had nothing to do with the player's memory loss due to never having met a human before and the fact that, as far as he knows, he can only erase memories of Fogbound Lake.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}, who, after helping the team escape another trap by Team Skull (they had overheard Marill and Azurill talking to them about a personal item going missing and, upon retrieving it first, intended to use it to have them eliminated by a territorial {{p|Manectric}}), explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the [[Dimensional Scream]]. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of {{mdc|Grovyle|2}}. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the [[Northern Desert]], which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, which the team is forced to defeat when she mistakes them for thieves. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.
