So while playing though the dark future segment, I took note of this dialogue:

Grovyle: "The Passage of Time is a portal that Celebi uses to travel through time."

Celebi: "For short trips, I can travel through time all by myself. But for big trips that spans many generations, I must use the Passage of Time."

So what exactly did Celebi do with the time travelling? It's clear she has never seen the sun before in the special episode, so she never travelled far enough back to when the planet wasn't paralyzed.

I guess she could have used time travelling and her powers to keep Dusk Forest somewhat thriving. Everywhere else in the dark future (the Hidden Land specifically), trees are bare and dead, but in Dusk Forest, there are leaves on the trees and grass on the ground too.

So Dusknoir goes to Primal Dialga and asks for his assistance after the duo and Grovyle escape from the stockade. But how close was Primal Dialga during the ambush at Dusk Forest? It's clear that they can see Dialga, but the game only shows a cutscene of Primal Dialga appearing and using Roar of Time when they "time travel" closer to the portal. So was he just behind the Passage of Time?
