Later, the partner tells the player the story of the Time Gears the artifacts that maintain the flow of time in their respective regions. This comes in handy when the player and partner arrest Drowzee when he attempts to manipulate Azurill into collecting some treasure for him. The player discovers not too long after that they have the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, but only when touching an object of some kind. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot evolve, and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration. Among the folks they meet are Wigglytuff, the kindhearted Guild Master, Chatot, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, Bidoof, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, senior apprentices Corphish and Sunflora, the Guild chef Chimecho (also in charge of maintaining the team), Diglett and Loudred, the Guild sentries, Dugtrio, maintainers of the job boards, Magnezone, the local sheriff, brothers Marill and Azurill, and other exploration teams. Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby Treasure Town. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, resolves to join the Guild as a new team with the player, who, due to having obtained severe memory loss that erased everything from their past life except their name and the knowledge that they were once human, agrees as a way to piece together who they were. The player's partner loves legend and lore and their life dream is to find the secret of their personal treasure-a Relic Fragment with a strange pattern on it. After a brief exchange, the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild. The Relic Fragment the partner holds is then stolen by Zubat and Koffing, members of Team Skull, which the player helps recover. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the Wigglytuff's Guild, a local exploration club, and gives up early. The story begins with a cut-scene where the player is to have been unconscious on a beach due to a time-traveling accident, causing them to become a Pokémon.
