Chapter 1

James woke with a start, feeling disoriented. He looked up to find his bearings, seeing his smooth white ceiling. Turning to his side he took notice of his doorway, which was open just a crack. James groaned and stretched his muscles to get ready to get up, but hesitated. Last night seemed like a dream to him, not sure what happened. Sitting up, he looked around to view the rest of his room, looking at his desk, the open window slowly letting the light and the wind in as well as the white yet bumpy walls. He closed his eyes, rubbing them to get the sleep out of them and looked back up to his clock. It was currently 7:00am Sunday morning meaning he didn't have to get up anytime soon.

Some movement caught his eye and noticed Giratina sleeping on the floor next to him. He was wide awake now; positive last night wasn't a dream. Giratina looked up and seemingly smiled. Giratina floated up next to James and playfully nudged him and then hugged him. James felt a little awkward and realized how attached Giratina already was to him. Smiling James hugged Giratina back and while James hugged Giratina he noticed the golden orb the Giratina was holding. "Hey, what's this?" asked James. He went to reach for the orb, but as he pulled it away from Giratina, Giratina seemed to change. Scared James stopped taking the orb and let Giratina hold onto it. Giratina looked at the orb and appeared to be in deep thought.

Suddenly a growling noise suddenly sounded out of nowhere. It sounded like James' stomach was rumbling, however he had felt nothing. Giratina stopped hugging and flew back down to the floor heading for the door. James realized it was Giratina's stomach that growled and noticed that Giratina was going to look for food. James ran to the door to stop Giratina from going out of his room. He didn't want his parents to see Giratina in case they freaked out.

"Hey there, are you hungry?" asked James. Giratina nodded in response. "Okay I'll get you some food". As James went to leave the room Giratina started to follow. "Hey, just stay here okay? I'll be back soon", but Giratina didn't seem to believe him and wanted to follow. James bent down to give Giratina a hug, hoping to calm it down. As James left the room he turned to see Giratina had trusted James and remained in his room. Giratina looked around for something to do while James was gone.

James went down the corridor, taking quiet steps so he didn't accidentally wake his parents. He turned right and went down the kitchen. The kitchen wasn't too big, with a mix of white of the walls and black on the bench, draws and cupboards. James opened one of the draws and got a plate, unsure of what Giratina ate. He opened the cupboard to see what was in it. He had seen some Pokemon in the forest eat berries so he grabbed some of those, putting it onto the plate. He next reached for two slices of bread, adding that next to the berries. He also grabbed a yogurt tub, an apple, 2 minute noodles and some apricorns that his parents had collected. He looked at the plate of food hoping that Giratina would like some of it.

Going back up to his room quietly he reached his door and opened it fearing if Giratina had done anything while he was away. To his surprised he found Giratina floating above the windowsill, admiring the view.

"Giratina, food is here", he whispered. Giratina turned around sharply and flew over to James as he put the food on the floor. Closing the door he turned his attention to Giratina who was looking at the food. Giratina came up to James and nudged him playfully in appreciation. "Okay so here we have some berries, bread, yogurt, an apple, some noodles and apricorns. Why don't you try the berries first?" asked James. Giratina bent down, opened its' mouth and ate one of the berries. Suddenly he ate the rest of the berries and they were gone fairly quickly. Giratina seemed happy and clearly liked the berries a lot. "Well it's good to know I can feed you". Giratina next tried the bread, swallowing it unpleasantly not liking the texture of it, especially when Giratina didn't have teeth to chew it up. "Sorry about that. How about you try an apple?" offered James. Giratina picked up the apple with two of its tentacle like arms and put it in its month. Giratina perked with delight at the sweet fruity taste. James opened the yogurt tub offering it to Giratina. Giratina poked its mouth in the tub and tried a bit of it. Giratina's reaction was of slight unpleasantness, with Giratina not going back for seconds. James doubted Giratina would like the 2 minute noodles, so he ended up eating that by himself leaving Giratina with the apricorns, which Giratina liked. James had noticed that Giratina liked natural foods.

Once Giratina was done trying the foods he looked unsatisfied and chirped for more. "Are you still hungry?" asked James. Giratina nodded in reply. James laughed at that responding "for a little guy you like to eat more than the average Pokemon". James turned around to go back to the kitchen. Opening the door he noticed that his parents door was open, meaning that one or both of James' parents were up.

"James? Is that you making that racquet? Who are you talking to?" asked a female voice. Footsteps were coming in James' direction and realized his mum was about to come in his room. He knew he had to hide Giratina or his mum would freak. He looked around his room looking for somewhere to hid Giratina. But despite Giratina's small size, his cupboard wasn't big enough for Giratina meaning he would have to be hidden in plain sight. But he was too late as his mum had opened the door. "Look James I'm sorry about last night and"- was as far as his mum had got to before she saw Giratina. "James… What is that?"

"… It's a Pokemon I found in the forest. I called it Giratina"

"From the forest! You brought a forest Pokemon into our home! James how dare you! You know how dangerous those creatures can be! Just look at… Giratina, for goodness sake!" and with that James and his mum both looked down at Giratina only to see a cute, innocent, mysterious and almost baby-like creature.

"Mum, he's not dangerous and he's just a baby. He could do any harm". Listening to James she looked down at Giratina once more and saw the cute, golden shadowy baby.

"… Well, I guess… No James! You are taking that Pokemon back to where he came from. You are taking him back to the forest immediately!"

"But mum..."

"Immediately!" commanded James' mother. James stood his ground, but after a brief moment of silence he reluctantly agreed.

"C'mon Giratina". James walked out of his room with Giratina floating behind him. They walked slowly out of the house and headed towards the forest. James didn't want Giratina to leave, he had grown attached to the little guy and so did Giratina to James. James was saddened, however Giratina, unknown to what his mother had said, followed into the forest. The two were walking and floating side by side, going deeper into the forest. They continued going into the forest for a good 20 minutes then James stopped walking and Giratina stopped as well, coping James. "Giratina, it's been nice knowing you but you have to go back to where you came from". Giratina looked puzzled and James turned around in response and started to walk back. Giratina bit James' pants, trying to stop him from going. "Giratina you need to go. I need to go". Giratina seemed to understand what was happening, and James saw this in Giratina's blinking red eyes. He turned to walk but Giratina held him back again. "Giratina no, I..." then James saw that Giratina turned away from him and an odd noise seemed to becoming from Giratina. Giratina had reared up and suddenly fired this whirlwind from its month, making this beam-like sound. James was bewildered at what was there after Giratina was finished. There was some kind of blue portal in front of Giratina. Giratina turned around to motion James towards the portal. James stepped forward to inspect the portal. Unknowing to him Giratina had come up towards the back of James. Giratina suddenly pushed James into the portal, disappearing into it. Giratina then jumped into the portal itself, following James and closing the portal. The forest went silent...
