@heropartnerweek 2024 - Day 4 [Great Canyon | Hidden Land | Glacier Palace | Revelation Mountain]
I really liked the endgame for the Explorers games during the main story, as saddening as it was. Just the hero working together with their partners from the past and future to stop the collapse of Temporal Tower and stop the planet's paralysis from ever happening.
The Hidden Land, as a dungeon, is real hellish, but at least it's got some nice, peaceful music to listen to while you get your ass handed to you time and again. UvU

Hero Partner Week 2024
I guess this Prompt made me change my mind about the post for today. When I saw that, I instantly decided to participate with my Explorers of Sky Duo, Gwladys and Tonbee, which is still my favourite game of the franchise to this day ! ♥ But since I coulnd't post them separately, I put them all in one post instead (if only I knew earlier... I'm so dumb...)
The original Prompt List of the Event held by @heropartnerweek
There are 3 different prompts for each day so you can choose what you prefer to do. I chose for each day :
First Meeting
Evolution
Morning/Night
Hidden Land (this one only changes depending of the game you chose)
Favorite Scene
Farewell
Previous Prompt
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 1 / May 19th : First Meeting
After leaving the entrance of the Guild without being able to enter out of fear (again), Tonbee decided to go to the beach to see the beautiful dusk and bubbles dancing at the sunset. He will there see an unconscious Pokémon near the ocean. Heavily worried, he goes to check on this little Pokémon that seems to be a female Eevee.
Day 2 / May 20st : Evolution
The Duo, who was at first unable to evolve, finally has the chance to see if they can reach a new form. They head to the Luminous Spring, with an immense hope in their chest. Surprisingly, Tonbee could reach a new stage of evolution. Gwladys witnessed the pretty impressive Evolution of her teammate Tonbee. She could barely recognize him, not because of his evolution, but rather how his personality, determination and bravery changed for the better (This scene takes place post-game).
Day 3 / May 21st : Morning / Night
The more they spend time with each other, the more the Duo realize how they complete each other : "Tonbee is the Morning Light that warms Gwladys' memory up", and "Gwladys is the Quiet Night that helped Tonbee reach his Dreams".
Day 4 / May 22nd : Hidden Land
Gwladys and Tonbee teamed up with Grovyle, Gwladys' Pokémon friend from the future who tried to stop Dusknoir and Primal Dialga from paralyzing the World. After retrieving all the Time Gears, they reach the Hidden Land with the help of Lapras, the only Pokémon that knew where it was and could reach it without any difficulties. When they finally set their feet on these lands, they knew they could not head back once their duty is fulfilled.
Day 5 / May 23rd : Favorite Scene
On their way to reach the Time Tower, the Duo remembers all the moments they spend together, good or bad. The best moment they had ever experienced was when they witnessed this mesmerizing scene at Fogbound Lake, one of the 3 lakes that had a Time Gear in it, and protected by Uxie. This moment will forever stay in their heart. ♥
Day 6 / May 24th : Farewell
She knew. Ever since they last faced Dusknoir and Grovyle sacrificed himself to bring Dusknoir back to the future, Gwladys knew that her fate was sealed. When they will bring the 5 Time Gears to the top of Time Tower, she knew she would disappear, as she is part of the future just like Grovyle, Dusknoir and Celebi. She was afraid, she didn't want to leave her friend Tonbee, but she had to. It was for the sake of the World. So when the time came, she told him everything that was on her mind. She told him that he changed her life for the better, and that she will never forget him, even if she disappears. Tonbee watched as tears were falling down his cheeks : he was grateful for everything, but he didn't wanted to say Goodbye, but had to...
Day 7 / May 25th : Previous Prompt : Crossover
They may be strong, determined, brave, but they can have some funny moments together too. After becoming a gracious Glaceon and an intimidating Luxray, Gwladys and Tonbee became one of the strongest Explorers team ever made. They share some moments together too, and one of them is cosplaying of some sorts. In here they are cosplaying as Grey Fullbuster and Laxus Dreyar from Fairy Tail, because they basically have the same power.
Thank you very much @heropartnerweek for creating this Pokémon Mystery Dungeons Prompt List. It was amazing participating in it, and I hope there is more of that to come ♥

Holy goodness. So I was thinking more on the fact that the Hero, and everyone else from the Dark Future, dissappear as though they never had existed. Because they changed the future, and now the events that led to their lives no longer happen.
And it would create the mother of all grandfather paradoxes if their actions get reversed because they don't exist. That's just a given for the plot to happen.
But imagine what could come out of it if anyone without any kind of time-based shenaniganary (so pretty much just the partner) forget anyone from the future even existed? Because technically, they don't.
Imagine the fathomless guilt that the partner would feel for not only surviving Temporal Tower, but also being unable to remember the hero's name and face. Their memories of them having a dull haze in the opproximate shape of their best friend.
Its even worse for other people. Imagine the partner being told by Chatot that at least two people need to be on a team that's registered for two people. And the partner tells them that they do have a partner. Only being able to convince him after telling him to pull out the paperwork, because how do you convince someone that a person exists if you don't even know what pokemon they are, or what their name is? "That can't be right!? Someone must have foraged this! I've never heard of a [hero's name] before now! This doesn't make any sense..." And then having that fun experience be the reason why the partner even remembers their name.
Can you even say that Dusknoir irreparably shattered your trust in famous explorers, if everyone is convinced that what happened never even took place? To everyone else, it just seems that you woke up one morning and decided to be needlessly paranoid about getting betrayed.
Those scars look pretty gnarly. Where did you get them? ...Who's Grovyle? He has a wanted poster? Stole the time gears? That must be a mistake. The Time Gears have never been touched by anyone.
Did any of the last several years even happen? There is evidence that they did. Grovyle's wanted poster. The registration. Those things point to what happening, being true. But... Everyone else is just saying that those are accidents.
Were the people that effected your life, for better and for worse, ever real? There's no way that's the case...
Right? They have to be real. It couldn't have been just a dream or a hallucination. I felt that pain. I felt that desperation, love, friendship. That can't just be not true. It has to have happened. Because what would it mean if it didn't?
