And now it's time for Zorua Reviews with Zorua- son of Zoroark.

Tonight's Review: SS020 and SS021: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness and Sky

(First Person POV)

OH MY GOSH! These are the greatest Pokemon Specails I've ever seen in my life!

My Dimensional Scream is telling me that there's gonna be SPOILERS!

There's this Grovyle, who steals this gear.

And it causes time to stop!

Oh my gosh, he must be evil!

(Zorua gave a huge wink)

Then there's this Chimchar, who want to form and exploration team.

And is. . . chased out of the guild in a really weird misunderstanding. . . thingy. . .

Then he meets a Piplup knocked out on the beach.

And the Piplup is like,

"Oh my gosh, I was a human before, but now I'm a Pokemon!"

And Chimchar is like,

"Oh my gosh, there is only one thing to do! . . . You must create an Exploration Team with me!"

". . . I have no idea how that could possibly help-."

"Look, my character is a confidence lacking wuss, so just help me."

"Okay."

So Piplup and Chimchar start their team,

And then Chimchar gets a vision of the future!

. . . Of Sunflora buying stuff. . .

(Zorua shrugged)

Sure, don't see anything interesting like an evil boss Pokemon or the location of someone in trouble, just show someone's shopping list from the future!

Of course!

So they go on their first mission, which is to find a Gabite Scale in order to heal a Shinx's sister.

But team Razor Wind is like,

"We're gonna take the place of Team Skull and try and steal your mission!"

"Why didn't the writers just put in Team Skull?"

"Because making Dark and Poison-type Pokemon evil is racist?"

"Okay, we'll go with that."

So our heroes go looking for the Gabite Scale, and Piplup predicts that a bridge will collapse.

And Chimchar is like,

"Wow, it's good you somehow have the ability to predict the future, which I shall not question at all."

So then they find out that Team Razor Wind all got beat up by a Gabite.

"Wow, the three of us, who are all seasoned adventured with tons of experience, got beaten up by one single Pokemon. . . . We're really bad at this."

Oh come on! We could've seen Team Skull beaten up in high def, detailed anime!

But instead we get a bunch of random Pokemon we've never seen before!

What a rip off!

So our heroes go to fight the Gabite.

And Sunflora is like,

"I will fight with you two boys!"

And Gabite is like,

"Attract."

"DUH!"

So Chimchar and Piplup got to fight Gabite. . . while the girl just stands in the corner and does nothing.

(Zorua frowned)

That's kinda sexist!

And Piplups wins by using Bubblebeam!

Hooray!

So Gabite gives them the Gabite Scale for winning!

Team Razor Wind looks even worse in comparison!

Shinx's sister gets better!

And our heroes get a Luxray Fang!

But then Chatot is like,

"Gimme that!"

Swipe!

Wait a minute, in the games, didn't the Guild only take the money and let you keep the item gifts?

Wow, Chatot, you're an even bigger jerk here than in the games!

"I know!"

End of part one!

So the next episode starts. . . . near the end of plot of the game. . .

(Zorua is perplexed)

Yeah. . . Meeting Dusknoir, arresting Grovyle, meeting Celebi, going to the bad future, finding out who's good and who's evil, Piplup's true identity. . . that's all skipped. . .

Oh yeah, and all of the game's back story before this point is explained and summarized.

They should have called this SPOILERS: THE MOVIE!

So Chimchar, Piplup, and Grovyle are riding Lapras to get to the Hidden Land.

And Grovyle has the voice of the Pharaoh from Yu-Gi-Oh!

"You can defeat Primal Dialga if you believe in the Heart of the Cards."

"Did you just ask a Piplup and a Chimchar to defeat a Legendary Pokemon that has power over time. . . and we don't mean the little one that you have a totally obvious crush on in the games.."

"Just shut up and go along with it."

"Okay."

So then they all go to a pyramid!

Wow, I guess Grovyle really is the Pharaoh.

And then they try to use Chimchar's Relic Fragment to activate a stone space ship that will take them to Temporal Tower.

Wow, this all sounds kinda crazy when you say it out loud.

But then the evil Dusknoir and his evil Sableye henchmen show up and steal the Relic Fragment.

And Dusknoir is like,

"I made this in the future!"

. . .

Okay. . .

Did we really need to know that?

Anyway, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff is like,

"We're not the main characters, so we should lie down and go to time freeze."

So the main characters beat up all the Sableye.

And then they use Pokemon Trainer's Final Smash to defeat Dusknoir!

"Triple Finish!"

BOOM!

But then Dusknoir is like,

"If you save the world, then the world will disappear!"

And Piplup is like,

"I have no idea what that means."

"It means changes the future now will cause all the Pokemon in the future will disappear including us three!"

"Well then how could you, Grovyle, and I have been able to come to the past to make this happen if our future is gonna disappear?"

"Oh, um, well. . ."

"And if we do disappear from time, then how could we come back in time in the first place to cause the events that would make us disappear?"

"Look, let's just use the Many Worlds Theory here."

"Well in that case, why would changing the future cause our own separate parallel future world to disappear?"

"You know what, forget this, I just wanna rule the world with Primal Dialga."

And then Chimchar is like,

"Hey guys, did I miss anything interesting?"

And Grovyle is like,

"Maybe, but you sure aren't gonna miss this! RAAAAAR!"

So Grovyle tackles Dusknoir and takes the both of them back through a portal to the future!

And Chimchar is like,

"I'm gonna not wuss out and own Grovyle's departure, just like we will own Primal Dialga!"

And Piplup is like,

"But he's gonna disappear. . ."

"What?"

"Oh nothing."

"Well then, let's make a bright future for us all!"

"Except for me."

"What?"

"Oh, *ahem*, sorry, I got a bit of a cough, I think."

So Piplup and Chimchar ride the stone space ship over to Temporal Tower.

And Piplup is like,

"Oh yeah, that's right Primal Dialga! You're about to be owned by two non-evolved, non-Legendary Pokemon on international televis-."

THE END! No more specials!

"WHAT THE HAY!?"

So the Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky was really good, except for when it just skipped the entire middle part of the plot.

And I can't wait to see if they're gonna do a Gates to Infinity special!

But we're gonna need just the right person to voice Hydreigon.

I wonder if Weird Al Yankovic is busy nowadays?!

He smells like a grilled cheese sandwich.

This is Zorua here, and I was wondering. . .do ya got any Gummis?! PLEASE! I really want some Gummis! Come on, feed a cute little Zorua out, huh? Come on, please!

Come on, how else am I gonna grow big and strong without those extra nutritious Gummis?

Oh, and thanks DragonNiro and Imperator Justinian! Pecha Berries and croissants, what a Heavenly combo!

Thank You

(Zoroark here. They should not have tried to fit such a deep plot into two episodes. Well, actually they didn't, they just played the beginning and the end pretty much. I suppose they didn't want to spoil the games too much. But anyway, this was even better than the first Mystery Dungeon special. It had all the familiar characters, but kinda focused too much on our main duo. I wish there were more episodes, or that they were longer. This could've been it's own separate miniseries or something. Oh well. . . ('Z'))
