Hero; Dusk, he/him. A human turned pokemon that traveled from the future to the past in order to stop the planet’s paralysis. When he got separated from grovyle, he ended up in an ocean during a storm. Luckily, he washed up on the beach at some point and woke up there. First he was confused and dazed, but he quickly remembered grovyle, and wanted to try to find him.

He was weak from the time travel accident and from being in the ocean. As much as he wanted to take off flying immediately, he was too weak to do so, also he was unfamiliar with this new body, so that made the situation worse.

But he is then found by Gwen, and decides to help her out and later on join the guild with her. The guild is a center place of information, and by doing jobs, Dusk would gain experience in this new body and new world, and map everything out that he could in order to find the time gears and grovyle.

Partner; Gwen, she/her. An eevee that’s always wanted to explore the whole world, but has been too shy and scared to do it herself. She managed to move away from her family and have her own place, but taking the next step (literally) to join the guild was too big to handle on her own.

One time when she goes down to the beach to relax, she finds Dusk and is willing to help him out. In return, she asks him to join the guild with her as a team.

Dusk doesn’t tell Gwen the truth for a long time, he doesn’t even point out that he used to be a human. Just states he’s new to the area and got separated from his friend during that bad storm that one night. Gwen of course agrees to helping Dusk reunite with his friend.

Once news of the first time gear being stolen, Dusk sets into action. He finds out where it was, and from there, tries to map out where the others are and where grovyle would go next. Dusk thanks Gwen for the help and tells her he enjoyed being part of the guild with her, but he has an important mission to do. Gwen is of course confused and doesn’t understand why Dusk would suddenly want to leave. She asks to go with him to help him out further, but Dusk refuses.

Dusk sets off on his own in the middle of the night, and travels to the location of the next time gear. 

Gwen continues working at the guild, but of course Dusk’s absence is noticed and everyone else at the guild is confused on why he suddenly went missing. Gwen tells them what Dusk told her, and the guild decides that besides doing their normal jobs, they would ask around and try to figure out where Dusk went and what his mission is.

After grovyle finds and takes the second time gear, Dusk manages to find him. They briefly celebrate their reunion and while grovyle is surprised at Dusk being a pokemon now, he’s just glad he’s safe. “I did warn you that being a human in the past might be a problem, but I guess that’s solved now.”

Together, grovyle and Dusk go after the next time gears.

Meanwhile, the expedition the guild takes on happens, and they travel to fogbound lake.

Grovyle and Dusk arrive at the lake and sneak past the guild to the statue in order to lift the fog. Dusk stops for a moment to watch Gwen from the shadows, and feels guilty for leaving. Gwen obviously has been down since he left, but she’s trying her best to continue her work.

The duo reach the lake, managing to take down “groudon” and uxie. Grovyle apologizes to uxie before diving into the lake to grab the time gear, and Dusk stays on land to keep an eye on uxie.

Following what they could in their investigation and unsure why the fog lifted on it’s own, the guild makes their way to the lake. They almost reach it when the time gear is taken, and Dusk notices the guild arriving.

“Run!! Get out of here!”

“Dusk???”

Gwen calls out to him, but Dusk quickly flies off to leave the area and reunite with grovyle. The guild see what’s happening, grab uxie and run from the area. Uxie is treated at the guild and they ask him for answers on what just happened. Uxie tells them about how there was a time gear there, and he was protecting it. But then grovyle and Dusk appeared and took him down. The whole guild is shocked to learn this.

Gwen is quick to want to deny that Dusk would do such a thing, but the rest remind her that they did hear his voice at the lake. She heard it as well. She can’t deny that he must’ve been there at the time.
