#pmd bidoof

PMD2 Partner is not a real person, in this essay I will-

Okay, but seriously, some people think that in Bidoof's special episode, his wish causes Jirachi to make some insane changes to the timeline, resulting in essentially the entire plot of the game, but I digress. Bidoof wished for a Buddy, a new apprentice he could teach. He mentions maybe there's two of them, but he only actually asks for one. So, Jirachi created Partner.

The storyline was always going to happen, but Hero and Partner's meeting was the difference between success and failure. Without Partner, Hero likely wouldn't have joined the Guild, would've been lost, and alone, and confused. Perhaps eliminated by Dusknoir, or lured to his side. Conversely, without Hero, Partner would've been mugged by Zubat and Koffing, left wounded in the Beach Cave, desparately sending out a job request. Perhaps Sunflora would've come to the rescue and while being given a chance to recover at the guild, Partner finally blurts out that they want to be an explorer. Seeing the state of the young one, Wigglytuff agrees and Chatot pairs Partner with Bidoof, on safe tasks to start off with, and they'll see what happens from there.

Partner is not shown to have any relatives and even amongst the people of Treasure Town Partner is just a face in the crowd at the start of the game. Partner mentions living in Sharpedo Bluff before joining the guild, saying they just found the entrance one day (my memory is a little foggy on this point, but I think it's right). So, Partner has been in Treasure Town long enough to be familiar with the layout, stores and shopkeeps, but doesn't really know anyone. Partner is just there with the relic fragment, an innate desire to join the guild, and nothing else.

Partner is timid, but determined. They know they want to explore, but they need help, someone to stand beside them and teach them; they need a Buddy.

Partner mentions that the beach cheers them up, the Krabby's blowing bubbles in the sunset is always so relaxing. What if that's the first thing they ever saw? What if Partner was born into this world and immediately saw the sunset, not knowing one day it wouldn't rise again?

Imagine Partner came into being on that beach, their birth mirroring Hero's disappearance. Speaking of, when Partner breaks down on the beach after Temporal Tower, it's Bidoof that finds them. It's their Buddy (I'd use a stronger word to describe H&P's relationship but Bidoof was definitely their buddy).

Partner was created by Jirachi, given the relic fragment and fake memories that told Partner, more than anything, they wanted to be an explorer, but they needed someone beside them to achieve it. Partner was created for relationship, to share in adventure, to ride off into the sunset and return with the dawn.

So, in the post-game when Darkrai was deceiving them, telling them to disappear, perhaps Partner felt deep down they really didn't belong, they weren't like everyone else, but that just makes it even more significant when they return home and Partner realises "It's wonderful to be alive!"

Wow, the NPCs really go out of the way to let Bidoof know that he’s dumb as bricks. No wonder his wish caused the destruction of time.

After Rosie and Shine graduated from the guild Abby and Thorn joined and helped Bidoof on guild tasks.

Reunion

@heropartnerweek Day 7 - Previous Prompt - Return

First time I've ever tried something like this, I spent like 13 hours doing this and there was probably a more efficient way I could've gone about it, but here we are. Sort of long comic ahead.

I think I gave myself Carpel Tunnel drawing this with a mouse.

It's a little sloppy here and there, but it has heart and I'm really quite proud of this. Just hope it uploads correctly and nothing messes up.

I've really enjoyed being a part of this event, thanks to the Hero Partner Week mod for hosting this, and thank you everyone who's enjoyed the art I've posted for this. Everyone who's participated has some incredible talent, and all the drawings and stories I've seen have me really inspired!

See you all next time.

Bidoof is about to witness a level of violence that mankind was not meant to see.

[doctordragon]

Bidoof: um, well, my wish is that I would like some new friends at the guild so I'm not the newest member anymore and I have someone I can help train!

Jirachi, about to make some absolutely batshit changes to the timeline: sure
