Yeah. Thou technically stealing from them is still possible. You need pure see to immidately teleport near the staircase and get to the next floor. It's also good to have few reviver seed, just in case. Or one reviver seed and two pure seeds if you only travel with your partner. It's not really worth the risk when it comes to ordinary objects.

[@genemelendez8157]

One criticism I have with this is the partner’s dialogue. This makes it sound like the partner knew you were going to backstab them, but the partner wasn’t like that. They trusted you and asked you to join their team. The partner (Pikachu in this case) should have something like “I can’t believe it, there must be some mistake. (Player) why did you do it, why did you hide this from me? I thought I could trust you. I’m sorry, but, I need to report you to officer Magnezone. Please don’t make this harder than it needs to be. Then the battle starts.

[@Regibump37]

They actually solved the problem in Gates to Infinity of all things, as the partner Pokemon uses their species name when first meeting, but after the first dungeon allows you to nickname them after you already know each other. It’s quite a nice detail as it’s showing your Partner is willing to let you give him a permanent name to call him to help become attached to this new world, it’s just too bad Super Mystery Dungeon returned to the status quo with the partner problem.
