A note from the author.

Hello everybody. I am writing a new story because I want to stay interested in Pokemon. I have been searching for idea's and I think I finally hit the nail. I'm writing an alternate story about Movie 11, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, or the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin, if you prefer the Japanese title. Now, why? Well, heres how it happened. One day I was on the web when I found something called Star Wars Infinities: A New Hope. I bought the story and I was extremely impressed. They made an alternate history that was just as gripping as the original story if not better. And that got me thinking, "What if I made an alternate story for a Pokemon movie?" I needed ideas when I decided to watch the movies again. That's when I realized that there were fundamental issues with the 11th film. The main Pokemon was annoying, the ending was unoriginal, and I personally felt there was a problem with the overall plot. Ever since I played Pokemon Platinum and watched the movie, I fell in love with Shaymin Sky Forme. It became and still is my favorite Pokemon. But the movie, didn't do its job and now most people try to pretend the movie didn't exist. I wanted to write this story as a tribute to my favorite legendary and to fix the problems made in the movie. Note, this is an alternate story so some things will be different, most things actually. I would say how its different, but that would just spoil the story. I want to give this story a shot and I think it will be awesome. Now sit back, get some snacks, and enjoy the story.

Chapter 1: Beginning of an Incident.

The morning dew of the mountains rolled through the quiet forest. Light only shined through few small pockets of canopy. There was little movement. The greenery was draped with mist and moisture. Life here was very silent and often undisturbed. Here, Pokemon would live freely without human contact. Combee could buzz from hive to hive, Bidoof's and Bibarel would travel through rivers to find more and more wood, and the occasional bird would land on the branches of elderly tree's. There were few if any visitors here. Pokemon would search for food, a never ending task that drove the woods. Life went undisturbed, save for a few bushes rustlingly as a certain Pokemon moved through the green.

The subject was not overly impressive from a distant spectator. It was a small being less than two feet log, and no more than eight inches tall. It almost seemed covered in grass, with two petals coming from its sides. The hedgehog like-creature was sticking low to the ground to blend in with the shrubbery. At a distance, it was practically invisible to the naked eye which was essential for its camouflage. A creature such as this could not run fast in its current form. Its primary defense was staying hidden, which is something that this precarious Pokemon could do well. It was an outsider, a nomad, that was traveling on its never ending journey. It would navigate these mountains in order to advance to the east, where there were springs and natural gardens of flowers and lush foliage. Such a destination would be too hard to reach for many Pokemon, but for this one, this was essential. Every year, after the quiet months of simple living, this Pokemon would join his friends and go on a pilgrimage to the place he was born. He would return to his birthplace and gather with the other members of his species for the summer months. After the beautiful months end, he returns to his boring life of isolation. He becomes a nomad again and breaks contact with the world. The only reason he does this is to protect himself. His species is not necessarily skittish, but rather it is very alert to the world. Larger more dangerous Pokemon and human civilization is generally avoided. He remains alone until next year when the whole routine is repeated till the end of his life.

This is his life. This is the life of Shaymin.

He crawls along the forest floor searching for trail left by another Shaymin. His sinus' were very well developed and he could sense a trail that was over 5 days old. He was searching the ground when he heard a noise above. Instinctively, he curls up and blends in with a patch of weeds, ready to retaliate if a predator attempts to strike. Staraptor were the most dangerous hunters for a Shaymin. They are ruthless and will pluck Shaymin away to their nests where they are devoured by their hatchlings. Shaymin himself had heard stories about how other Shaymin were snatched away by a single Staraptor. Their talons crush them and as they are flying, they hold the Shaymin firm until they suffocate and become lifeless bags of flesh for Starly and Staravia. Even though he fears large predators, he has fought them off with Seed Bombs and Magical Leafs when cornered. Still, he understands the dangers they pose and he crouches down waiting.

A small group of Combee turn out to be the noise creators and they fly by harmlessly. Shaymin cursed himself for getting all upset over a few Combee but he reminded himself that it could have been worse. Much worse. There are dangerous creatures in the world and many would kill Shaymin in a heartbeat if they thought he was worth attacking. He moved on silently when he sensed something in the air. Moisture. Fresh. He moved towards it and light was starting to penetrate. He came upon a spring. The crystal water was flowing softly and the water looked very attractive to the dehydrated Shaymin. However, he was beaten by a lone Stunky. He sent it away with a piercing Magical leaf and the Poison type yelped away. Before Shaymin reached the pool, however, he paused. He considered whether he should be exposing himself where something might spot him. A pool was a hideout for larger Pokemon and Shaymin was in no mood to be picking a fight with a territorial Luxray or Vespiqueen. Still, thrust was powerful, and he began to drink from the soothing lake. He gulped down fresh water for several moments and let his guard down. He felt a strange presence however and the ground suddenly shook with a heavy thud. He whipped sideways to stare at a terrifying sight.

On a small peninsula was a behemoth Pokemon. It was shaped like a sauropod and had a massive plate on its forward chest. The air became unnaturally tense, as if time was being slowed in the creatures breathing. A large ridge grew just beyond its tail and a single diamond was shining on its forward chest plate. Three massive claws dug into the earth from the monstrous legs of the creature. It was more than fifteen feet tall and must have weighed over a 1000 pounds. Shaymin wanted to run, or hide, or even call out to the creature. But he was too captivated by the sight. Even though his instincts told him to flee, he couldn't help but stare at the creature with awe. The creature was a mystery to Shaymin, but not too others.

Hidden, somewhere, was another world. In this space, time was not in sync with space and the properties of physics were distorted. This world was chaotic in the realm of reality and the rules of life were not set in stone. Here, islands floated in air, archways bent into full circles, tree grew upside down, buildings were not always straight, and water flowed loosely. Here, there was no humans, no contact with the real world, and no Pokemon, save one. A basilisk that has been banished to this dimension millennia into the past. The creature had massive tentacles running behind the massive spikes and ridges on the creatures side. Massive black and red stripes ran across the 20' long body in perfect symmetry. The most striking feature was the creatures face. It had two spikes defending the crown like crest on its head. The crown was golden and in the center was a jewel-like orb that ran between the creatures eyes. The Griseous orb, the jewel of Giratina. It watched from the depths of this alternate dimension and stared at its target, Dialga. It stared, ready to strike.

Shaymin wanted to run. He wanted to escape, but he didn't want the giant Pokemon to become aware of him. For all he knew, it probably already was! At the same time, not being aware could be a danger. If the Pokemon decided to move towards him and walk alongside the pool, it could accidentally step on him! He needed to get away before something happened, but he was too shocked to move. The creature bent its head down and tapped the water when a whirling vortex erupted from nowhere. The creature revolted back but was caught in some sort of web. A larger Pokemon appeared from the vortex and grabbed ahold of him. The whirlwind blasted sideways and began to tear through the woods, sucking everything in its path. Shaymin felt himself being lifted and he grabbed onto a nearby root. The wind was too strong and he was lifted away. He screamed in the air as the two giants struggled for dominance. The blue one was being pulled into the abyss by the shadowy one and they were disappearing. Shaymin found himself clinging onto the ridge of the blue one and hanging on for dear life. Then the world became black and the sunlight disappeared.

Giratina was dragging Dialga farther and farther away from the portal and deeper into the reverse world. It used its serpentine body to pin Dialga down against an island. Dialga cried out in pain but was unable to break free. Giratina continued to crush its opponent and press down on it like a python to a rodent, unaware that it was killing a rodent that carried a trespasser.

A figure appeared several kilometers away and it ran towards the scene, with a Shieldon following it. He wore a red shirt and torn khaki's. He resembled an outcast who had been away from civilization for years. Yet despite this, Newton Graceland was unusually fit and looked like a typical scientist. He wore advanced equipment and was fully self sufficient in this world. His Shieldon was his only companion and he was not often alarmed by events. He rarely saw anything too interesting and most of his time was spent studying in isolation. But something was happening. Something that was very unusual. As he watched the battle from a distance, he managed to comprehend the raw details.

"So, Giratina has finally captured Dialga." He acknowledged. "I figured this would happen eventually." He scanned the scene from one of his cybernetic arms. He had modified his technology into his backpack and they could do most anything. They were scanners, pincers, laser sighters, and key typers for his personal holo-computer. They were designed by Newton himself and could do whatever he wanted with ease. They were thoroughly advanced. As they scanned the fight, they were able to make extremely precise calculations. Still, Newton wondered if they were prone to malfunction. They had been unreliable in the past, and sometimes misidentified physical properties. Even now, they seemed to be malfunctioning in detecting the lifeforms. There were only two present, but for some unknown reason, they read three!

"Strange. How could..." He scanned the surrounding area for Palkia. Perhaps this was a dual capture and Giratina sought both legendary Pokemon. They showed negative but there were still three Pokemon detected. "If Palkia's not here, then what is?" He prompted the scanner to show location with each Pokemon. Giratina's location made sense, as did Dialga's. However, there was a Pokemon directly where Dialga was. He magnified. Nothing.

"This can't be a glitch." He prompted it to scan further and further. Finally something came up. An image. It showed a small green object on Dialga's rear ridge. It was a Pokemon and it was very small compared to the giant legends. It was also considered a legendary Pokemon but a odd one. One that would never arrive here under any conditions.

"What is it doing here?"

Dialga roared and cried out as Giratina attacked him with its tentacles and claws. He was being punched by savage Shadow Claws and he writhed back and forth. Finally, it managed to fly up and it raced towards the portal that had taken him. Shaymin flew off and spun away only to bounce off Giratina as the Renegade Pokemon gave chase to the Temporal Pokemon.

Dialga was almost there. 30 meters. 20 meters. 10 meters.

Bang!

A massive Aura Sphere hit him in the back and Dialga recoiled from the blow. It whipped around only to have Giratina drag it back into the depths. The portal faded away Dialga realized it was cornered. It charged a Hyper Beam as Giratina formed a will o wisp. The attacks collided and the world shook from the shockwave. Dialga flew down and Giratina charged after him.

Shaymin was trying to climb up a ledge and it clung on with all its strength. He had no idea what was happening but he saw the two giants approaching. Obviously the blue one was a target to the larger one and they were fighting furiously. They would be using the island he was on as a battlefield and that couldn't be good. The blue one soared overhead and the larger more serpentine one smashed through trees and debris. The giant pushed a massive cloud of pollutants towards Shaymin and the gratitude Pokemon held its breath. The petals on its side became black and the smog began to vanish. His body gained pigment as his ultimate move was being charged. When Shaymin are close to pollutants, they take in nearby pollutants and purify them in explosive bursts. These flares could be lethal if enough pollutants are absorbed; Shaymin knew that this move would be needed if he somehow got too involved with the clash of titans.

The giants were exchanging attacks around the island. Dialga unleashed frequent Flash Cannon's and Hyper Beams as Giratina shot Will o wisps and Dragon Pulses. Dialga was stronger but it was much slower and it started to lose the fight. A will o wisp drove home and the temporal Pokemon collapsed onto the island. Giratina moved in for the kill. Its head rose over the edge of the cliff and it cast a large shadow over the island. It charged a massive fireball when it noticed something odd. There was a Pokemon in its firing range; a small bush-like creature that clung to the earth. The fireball was ready to be unleashed but it paused. The smaller creature was doing something strange. It glowed white and was screaming in fear.

Then it happened. A powerful shockwave boomed through the reverse world and blasted Giratina away. The Renegade Pokemon was directly in front of the explosion and took the hit full blast in the face. It's Griseous orb cracked and the titan screamed in agony. It began to fall at a rapid rate and it continued to descent deeper into the reverse world. Dialga was also blasted back and screamed in surprise. Even Newton, from a great distance, was blinded by the flash and was forced to look away. A large portal opened in the sky above and Shaymin was pulled upwards. He levitated through the portal and saw a world of light. It found itself falling and disappeared into a river. It was out.

Newton had no idea what happened. He couldn't see through the explosion and for all he knew either Giratina or Dialga had died. When the white light cleared he managed to peak out past the tree. The island that Dialga had crashed on had been totally destroyed. Dialga floated over the space and looked down into the depths of the reverse world. Giratina was still not present and the air was unnaturally quiet. Dialga flew in front of the newborn portal and it prepared to enter it when he heard a blood curdling battle cry. The temporal Pokemon disappeared through the portal and managed to see the faint shape of Giratina approaching. Dialga's diamond glowed blue and its back ridge grew large. A violet orb became a beam that was released from its gaping mouth and the portal was destroyed.

From the inside, it looked like Giratina struck a wall. It recoiled back and angrily opened another portal. A massive tornado was forced out of its mouth and a blackish hole appeared. Only moments ago had the portal closed. He was so close. Had it been a few more moments he would have broken through and escaped into the real world. As the new portal formed he tried to fly through, but stopped. It was extremely painful to try to pass through for an unknown reason and his head throbbed. He tried again but no luck. He was trapped. Unable to escape.

Because of Shaymin!

It screamed in anger and began to fire Dragon Pulses in a rage. It flew away and screamed angrily into the reverse world. Newton watched it disappear and he began to put it all together. "Shaymin damaged the Griseous orb. That's why it can't escape. Because Shaymin trapped it here." He ran to the caves with his Shieldon and decided to remain hidden. He didn't know if Giratina would come back and he didn't want to be around when it did.

Meanwhile, Shaymin tossed and turned in the frigid water. He was not designed to swim in his natural form and he couldn't control himself. He bashed along many rocks and struggled to get enough air to breath. He was freezing but he had no way to grab a rock to stop himself or climb to higher ground. He wished he had just ran when he saw the monstrous Pokemon at the pond instead of stand there like an idiot. If he had just ran, he wouldn't be in this mess and would still be back in the forest. He would be safe on land, rather than lost in a river, heading towards new dangers that would soon await him.
