Aughhh yesss yessss you get it @s1nn0hh.

Whenever I think of Grovyle's emotional state I remember how he calm he is in the underground lake versus him yelling constantly in Crystal lake and how, after discovering his partner is alive and amnesiac, he devotes 2 entire minutes to try being emotional, gets no reaction from hero or partner, and immediately switches tracks to focus on his mission again.

I can't believe how lonely he must have been and that makes even worse how he ends up knowing hero's identity in the worst way possible, with Dusknoir opening his big mouth to say that hero will die with him and his mission is over. Grovyle's reactions to Hero's identity are literally "what", "what" and "........", he probably isn't happy that Dusknoir has turned what was supposed to be great news of his friend being alive into the final nail in his coffin. In the end it doesn't matter Hero was his best friends and the most important person to him, Grovyle is only means to an end, he is there to die saving the world or die trying. I wonder if that kind of mentality is what kept him pushing through everything while he was alone, I wonder if Hero and him had that exact way of thinking and agreed on it, in case they were separated.

Tho ngl, i think if Grovyle knew Hero lost their memories because they shielded him, Grovyle would break apart, this lizard boy can only hold so much guilt in him. He was already repressing all the parts of him that knew there were pokémon who did not want to disappear (i'm sorry but the planetary investigation survey is so ridiculous it barely sounds real lmaooo), he can't handle any more.

I guess the good side is that hero got to enjoy all the beautiful sights and scenaries and people from the past without terrible memories of a doomed future, so maybe it's for the best they don't remember that. (Maybe there was nothing worth remembering :))) )

Our mission.
