Hidden Land

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

The Hidden Land (Japanese: まぼろしのだいち Phantom Land) is a Dungeon in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2. The Hidden Land has 15 floors, and the Hidden Highland has 8. The Hidden Land was rumored to exist for a long time, but nobody had ever found it. It is an area located in a separate dimension from the Pokémon world, and was hidden to prevent anything happening to Temporal Tower, home to Dialga, lest the flow of time be disrupted. The only key to entering this land is the partner's Relic Fragment.

When Torkoal is asked about the Hidden Land, he mentions that one needs "proof" to enter it, and that proof is of a certain marking, being the one on the Relic Fragment. When the fragment is brought to a larger marking in Brine Cave, the two react and a light shines from the large marking, summoning Lapras, who ferries the player and partner to the Hidden Land. At the end of the Hidden Land is the Old Ruins, where the Rainbow Stoneship lies, as well as Dusknoir, who ambushes the party with his Sableye.

No Pokémon, excluding Grovyle, the hero, the hero's partner and Lapras, can enter the Hidden Land.

The floating island explored during the player and partner's visit to the future appears to be the future version of the Hidden Land, due to the Temporal Tower being there and the two landmasses having the exact same shape. Presumably, Dialga's maniacal behavior caused the Hidden Land, previously under Dialga's protection, to become visible to all.
