Walkthrough:Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky/Chapter 15
Reasons
You find a spot to stop and talk and Grovyle explains that the planet's paralysis started with the collapse of Temporal Tower, a place governed by Dialga, the Pokémon who controls time. When the tower collapsed and time went out of wack, Dialga lost control and in the future has almost no sense of reason, now governed by darkness. Now transformed into Primal Dialga, a primordial presence, he has no emotion and seeks only self-preservation which is why he prevents history from changing. This is why Grovyle is being hunted- he was collecting Time Gears to take them to Temporal Tower which would have reversed the collapse and prevented the planet's paralysis. Time stopping in areas where the Time Gears were removed would only be temporary.
Your partner struggles to believe that the great Dusknoir is really the bad guy and starts to run off to find him before Grovyle reminds them that they said they would think and decide for themselves what they believed, not rely on other to tell them what to think. Grovyle starts to leave as your partner hesitates. Grovyle is going to find Celebi, who can return them to the past to try again to stop the world's paralysis. You need to get back home, so your team follows Grovyle.
Back at the stockade, Dusknoir tells Primal Dialga that a trap has been set to capture the traitors, but he might need his help.
At the Entrance
You make it to the entrance of Dusk Forest, perpetually shrouded in dark fog. Celebi, the Time Travel Pokémon, is somewhere past here and can send you all to the past according to Grovyle. Your partner declares that they still can't trust Grovyle and will stop him when they return home if they have to. You have the sensation that you've been here before, and think back to Foggy Forest.
As you head into the dungeon, a Sableye that was hiding nearby runs off to report what it heard to Dusknoir.
Dusk Forest
Dusk Forest is 8 floors with no main type. Like the rest of the dungeons in the future, you cannot recruit any of the Pokémon inside. Be mindful of Jumpluff, as they can carry Bullet Seed, Stun Spore or Sleep Powder, and Mismagius's Psywave, which ignores the typical damage formula.
Grovyle is much stronger than you are, and than you will be for quite a while. He's slightly higher levelled than he was at your encounter at Crystal Crossing, though his HP is now at normal level and he always has the same four moves.

|

After clearing this, you'll meet Celebi in a clearing. Celebi joins your team and can heal you with Heal Bell. If you speak to Celebi before leaving the area, she will say something interesting.

Deep Dusk Forest
Deep Dusk Forest is 12 floors long. Most Pokémon in this dungeon are Ground-type, meaning they will be immune to Hippowdon's Sand Stream based sandstorms (which Aggron is also immune to). Notably, Leafeon shows up here as an enemy, despite Eevee being a possible starter choice in Sky.
The Ground-types in this dungeon can all carry dangerous moves; Rhydon has STAB Rock Blast, while Hippowdon and Steelix might have the elemental fangs for surprise type coverage and status infliction. Steelix's also capable of supporting enemies with Screech or Sandstorm.
Celebi is almost as strong as Grovyle, though her moves lean a bit more into support role; her Heal Bell should help with any possible status conditions.

The Escape
On the other side, you can see the Passage of Time, the portal that will take you back to the past. Only Celebi can open it, but as she advance, Dusknoir appears and the Sableye surround you. Your team plans to attack, but is shocked when Primal Dialga appears. Grovyle surrenders, revealing that all hope isn't lost because he traveled to the past with a partner, who he was separated from when they went through the portal. Still, they must be there continuing the mission.
Dusknoir is silent for a moment before laughing at Grovyle and asking Grovyle the name of their partner. It's your name. Grovyle is surprised that your name is the same, but reveals that his partner was a human. Dusknoir confirms that this is you and recounts your conversation where you revealed that you remember being human.
The Sableye come closer but your partner tells everyone not to give up. Celebi teleports you the small distance to the portal and tells you to hurry. Dusknoir moves to catch her, but she teleports away as you run.
