Back in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, time gears are apparently being stolen left and right. But I don’t care, so I went grinding on regular jobs and bounties for a while. Eventually I headed off to find a ‘water float’ for a pair of kids, in a new higher-level area.
Unfortunately it might be a little too high-level; after reaching the bottom I was attacked by a boss and his seven bodyguards, and it wasn’t too long before they’d ganged up and burned through all of my revival seeds by ganging up on the weaker members of the group, sending us packing. I guess I’ll have to grind up a bit more, and come back with better party members (the Shroomish I had tagging along wasn’t being all that useful).
Update: I took another shot later on and finally beat them, met up with Dusknoir again, learned that my ability to see the past and future is called the Dimensional Scream, and learned who’s been stealing the time gears.
