Dusknoir (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky): Difference between revisions

Dusknoir first appears after {{OBP|Fire|Blazing Exploration Team}} and {{OBP|Totodile|Blazing Exploration Team}} defeat some thieves that stole a treasure from them. He asks if the two are an Exploration Team, to which Fire confirms.

Later, Dusknoir appears with an injured {{p|Mesprit}} and {{mdc|Uxie|2}}. He reveals that the cause of their injuries was the Time Gear thief, Grovyle. After Fire has a vision of another Pokémon, {{p|Azelf}}, being attacked by Grovyle, Dusknoir confirms it as the [[Dimensional Scream]] ability. Falsely fearing Azelf's safety, Dusknoir takes Fire and Totodile to the [[Crystal Crossing]] to protect it from the thief, Grovyle.

After Grovyle nearly defeats Fire and Totodile, Dusknoir arrives to save them. Seeing Dusknoir distracts Grovyle long enough for Fire and Dusknoir long enough to defeat and capture him. Afterward, they take Grovyle back to the Guild, where Dusknoir reveals that Grovyle is actually a thief from the future. Dusknoir explains that he is from the future as well, and went back in time to take Grovyle back to his time to be executed. After sending Grovyle into the future, Dusknoir reveals his true nature by suddenly grabbing Fire and Totodile and throwing them forward in time.

Later, Dusknoir and his Sableye minions prepare to execute Grovyle, Fire, and Totodile. However, Fire and Grovyle use their quick thinking to escape unharmed. Later, Dusknoir, the Sableye, and their leader, Primal Dialga intercepts Grovyle's group at the Passage of Time to prevent them from going back into the past and change history with the help of Celebi. As they battle their opponents, Dusknoir reveals that Fire is actually the human partner of Grovyle's that went missing some time ago. This confuses Grovyle, who remembers Fire as a human instead of a Pokémon.

When Fire tries to escape using Celebi's power, Dusknoir has Primal Dialga stop them with its time controlling abilities. Dusknoir tries attacking them once more, but Celebi sacrifices herself by blocking the attack and sends the heroes back in time to change the past.  

Dusknoir appears one last time at the [[Hidden Land]], to stop Fire and Totodile from fixing the Temporal Tower and fixing the future. Despite their best efforts, Dusknoir easily shrugs off their attacks and nearly defeats them. Before he can finish Fire and Totodile off, Grovyle returns with the Time Gears and saves them. Together, the three manages to counter Dusknoir's strongest attack, defeating the villain in the process.

Defeated, Dusknoir reveals that if they stop the dark future from happening, all of the Pokémon in the future will disappear, Grovyle and Fire included. Grovyle reveals that he, Fire, and Celebi all knew this was going to happen but decided to change the past anyway. Soon after, Grovyle sacrifices himself by pushing Dusknoir back to the future along with himself.
