A little boy was practicing his move "Growth". After his last failed try, he didn't give up. He did it once more and-

POOF!

Smoke went everywhere and after it faded, the boy disappeared but instead there was a man. He had the same green hair and eyes with a white and grey outfit as the boy. He looked like the boy, only older. This was the effect of the move. "Guys, I did it!", the man exclaimed with happiness. "Way to go, Shaymin", an old man of his kind said. "As for your reward," the elder continued, "you can go out to the forest but be careful, okay?". "Will do, Master!" the man, Shaymin, replied.

He went to the lake to have a drink. As he reached there, he remembered the fight between a man with blue metal parts and a black and red dragon-like woman. They were so powerful. The woman dragged the man into her dimension so with Shaymin. Shaymin thought about the woman. She was too powerful but so mysterious. He feared her at first but they eventually became friends. She was so dark but he saved her. She almost died and her dimension was almost destroyed. A man known as Zero did all of these dreadful things. Good thing Shaymin was there. He erased his thoughts and took a drink at the lake. While drinking, he heard a faint scream somewhere within there. He observed his reflection and saw the woman he thought of. "What the heck?", he said being surprised. She was crying blood and screaming. "Just who are you?", he asked. She looked at him and narrowed her eyes. "Why are you crying? I know you. You're that woman who Zero kidnapped. Stop screaming. Please, tell me your name. Tell me everything about you. I'm not afraid of you. Please, answer me", he said with a tone of sadness and empathy. She didn't respond at all, she just continued her misery. "Darn it!", he cursed and jumped to the water. He closed his eyes but he didn't feel water. He just felt a soft breeze until-

THUD!

He opened his eyes. He fell into the ground but it was different. It was different from the Real World he was in previously. He was surprised when he observed his surroundings. The ground was unstable, time did not seem to flow, ice pillars from above, weird trees, and low gravity in some areas. He looked at the darkest corner and saw the woman he vaguely knew about. Her eerie eyes were staring at him which sent a shiver down his spine. He took a deep breath, gathered courage, and walked near her. She covered the mask around her mouth and closed her eyes. "Don't come near me. I'm warning you, mortal", she said darkly but he came nearer and nearer. "Please, don't even move closer. Don't you dare!", her eyes and crown began to glow a bright blue light. "No, I want to know you. What is your name?", Shaymin finally talked. "Gi…Gi-Gira…tina", she stammered and disappeared. Shaymin felt an aura behind him and looked back. He found her with her claws glowing. "Shadow Claw", she charged right at him to his surprise. She wounded his head close to his flower. It was bleeding severely. "Warning number 3 is pain. One more time, mortal, then I'll send you to the Spirit World!", she warned with a roar. "No, I still have questions, milady. Do you need company here? It's too lonely. Furthermore, do you have friends? Family?", he asked. "Shut up. I don't need a family and I don't need friends. I… I killed them long ago", she said while a drop of blood fell from her eye.

"Is there something wrong with your eye or are you crying blood?"

"Shut up, dear. I recommend you shut up".

"Let me know you, Princess Giratina. I want you to stop crying. I want you to have a friend. I want you to have me…"

"I don't have time for this. Shay-"

"Giratina, I know you're the Renegade Dragon, I know you destroyed the First Legendary Council, I know you almost killed Master Arceus…"

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME THAT!"

"And I know you need a friend"

This calmed Giratina as she cried more. She knelt at the ground and screamed once more. She was usually very strong but here, she was taken emotionally not physically. The ground around her became a pool of blood because of her tears. Her face too was covered with blood. She was a pitiful sight. Shaymin ran to her and helped her. "Sh-Shay…", she whispered. He called her to shush. "Shaymin, I just want to say that it is true that I am lonely. I am a traitor and I hate everyone even you. I want you to run away from me and you shouldn't tell anyone of this encounter. Most of all, don't tell anyone that I am lonely. I killed my family and friends because I wanted to rule all the dimensions especially the Real World and I might kill you if you spread all these things I am telling you. I am the counterpart of Arceus – I am Death", she explained. "I don't think you're 'Death'. You're too beautiful to be 'Death'" he said. Giratina blushed by hearing that she's beautiful. She shook her head at what he said. Shaymin smiled at her childish attitude. It was so innocent. Finally, she felt special again. He pulled the flower from his head with all his might. Because it was a part of his body, he winced at the pain from his head which uncontrollably. Giratina widened her eyes when he gave her his Gracidea flower. "This flower is very special. It is also essential to us Gratitude Pokemon", he said. She hesitantly took the bloody flower and asked, "Gratitude? Thank you. Thank you for making me feel like this. I never felt this emotion ever since I was banished. I feel so important. Thank you for bringing me to life, my friend", she felt complete having a friend. After saying this, Shaymin wiped her tears and softly kissed her. She didn't feel so surprised at all. Yes, this is life for her. REAL life.
