Giratina rested in his new Pokeball as Dawn flew her Staraptor to Sandgem Town. As they landed, Dawn was greeted by a boy with a red cap and black hair. He grinned to Dawn.
"You're amazing!" he cried as he hugged her "You stopped Team Galactic, you went into the Distortion World and you've captured Giratina!"
Giratina snorted. He submitted himself to Dawn, not get captured.
"And you've seen 198 Pokémon already!" he said next as he checked Dawn's Pokedex "Wow, Dawn, you have to be the best trainer out there!"
Dawn chuckled as she slightly blushed.
"Oh, please," she said "Cynthia is way better than me. She is the Sinnoh Champion."
"And you can become the next Champion if you just get one more Badge!" said the boy.
"I need a break for a little while but OK, why not?"
"Can I see Giratina, please?"
Dawn nodded as she got the Master Ball out and opened it. Giratina landed with a thud and spread his wings out with his mouth slightly open. He then looked at the sun. He had never felt the sun's rays before. He was banished before the first sunrise so he had never felt any warmth from the sun. He sighed and relaxed as he looked down at the boy who stumbled a bit as Giratina came to eye level with him.
"Giratina," said Dawn "This is Lucas. Lucas, this is Giratina."
"Hi there!" said Lucas with a little wave.
Giratina snorted as he nudged Dawn slightly. Dawn patted his golden helmet and giggled as he nuzzled her hand.
"I better get home to see how Mum is," she said as she waved Giratina to follow her "Bye Lucas! Come on, Giratina!"
Giratina nodded as he flew after her. They went through the forest, Dawn running ahead of the flying Ghost/Dragon Pokémon. Giratina smirked as an idea went into his head. He flew low and grabbed Dawn by the collar of her coat. She cried out in surprise as he flew above the trees. He swooped down low so her feet nearly touched the trees. He then spotted the first few houses of Twinleaf Town and flew over to place her at the gates. Dawn stumbled a bit before placing her hands on her hips and looking at Giratina in annoyance.
"At least give me a bit more notice!" she said.
Giratina snorted as she pouted cutely. He nudged her, his eyes apologizing to her. Dawn sighed then smiled.
"I never knew a Legendary Pokémon could be so playful!" she giggled.
Giratina shrugged his wings as he followed her to her house.
"I'm home, Mum!" she shouted.
A woman in her late-thirties came out and smiled endearingly at Dawn.
"Dawn!" she said as she hugged her daughter "I've heard from Professor Rowan and I'm very glad that you're OK. And is this Giratina?"
Giratina bowed his head to Dawn's mother's eye level and crooned. She smiled as she patted Giratina on his mask.
"Dinner's ready on the table by the way," she said to Dawn "I made your favourite!"
"Thanks Mum!" said Dawn as she returned Giratina and went inside.
An hour later and Giratina found himself outside the house looking down at Dawn and her Pokémon.
"Guys," she said "This is our new friend. I want you to treat him nicely and like any other Pokémon, is that clear?"
Her Pokémon nodded in agreement. Empoleon bowed to Giratina who nodded at him. Staraptor flew up to the roof of her house and nodded to Giratina. After all, he saw him when Dawn was trying to get her hat. Luxray, Absol and Arcanine said their hello in unison. Giratina smiled. They weren't afraid of him. Since the beginning of time and space, even Arceus was afraid of his temper. Mespirit seemed to be the only one to understand him though. He watched Dawn place five dishes down to her Pokémon before turning to him with five round different coloured Poffins. He tilted his head in curiosity. Dawn held up the green Poffin.
"I want to know what kind of flavour you like," she explained "Eat this one first."
Giratina bowed down and opened his mouth. Dawn placed the Poffin on his tongue. He chewed a bit before shaking his head in disgust. Dawn giggled.
"I don't really like bitter things either," she smiled.
Giratina tasted the other four Poffins then thought about which one he liked the best. The yellow Poffin was better than the green one but he still didn't like it. The pink Poffin was OK but Giratina wasn't the one to really have a sweet tooth. The blue Poffin he liked but not as much as the red one. He looked down at Dawn and nodded in approval as he ate the Spicy Poffin. She smiled as she brought out a dish of Spicy Poffins.
"Empoleon likes spicy food as well," she said as she looked at her Pokémon lazing around when Giratina started eating the Poffins "Luxray over there likes dry food, Arcanine has a real sweet tooth, Absol prefers the Sour Poffins and Staraptor up there particularly likes bitter food."
Empoleon charged past them and into the pond. Dawn looked back sheepishly as he swam around.
"Did I make them a bit too spicy?" she asked.
Empoleon shook his head. Dawn giggled as Absol and Arcanine raced around Twinleaf Town. She rested against Giratina's body who had finished his food.
"Welcome to the family," she said as they looked into each other's eyes.
Giratina nodded as he bent down and licked her cheek gently causing a small blush to appear on her cheeks.
