Chapter two: A friend in min!
Giratina stared at Shaymin in a mixture of disbelief and surprise. Two questions popped into her mind as she looked at the gratitude Pokemon: How did she get here and why did she think she was going to eat her?
With a sign, Giratina crossed her arms and looked straight into Shaymin's widened eyes. Red meeting pink. The small Pokemon was practically trembling with fear.
"Shaymin. How did you get into here?" she questioned calmly, raising one of her eyebrows confusedly.
"W-Well... I was sat by a lake, y-you know, relaxing when Dialga appeared to fill up his flask," Shaymin answered frightendly, looking ready to cry. "T-Then a portal opened up and these black wings- just like yours- came through and dragged Dialga in. I was caught in a whirlwind and I was sucked inside! N-Next thing I knew, I was here! GOMENNASAI! I didn't want to come here! Please don't eat me!" Then came the waterworks.
The whirlwind. How could she forgot about that? Giratina shook it off and turned her attention to Shaymin who was now bawling her little eyes out. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Hey, hey! Calm down! I'm not going to eat you!" Giratina replied in a sympathetic and gentle voice, levitating a little closer to Shaymin and placing both of her hands gently on her shoulders. "I wouldn't dare eat a pokemon, let alone another legendary! I'm not a full carnivore you know."
Shaymin stopped crying and gazed up at Giratina, a small line of snot dripping out from her nose like the sot from a Cubchoo. "Y-You're not going t-to eat me?"
Giratina shook her head, a rather small but warm smile fixed on her lips. "Trust me."
Shaymin sighed in relief before glancing around at their surroundings, a confused but amazed look peering through her face.
"Um.. Giratina? Where are we?" the little girl asked shyly.
"Oh this place? It's called the Distortion world," Giratina answered, her wing still holding Shaymin by her waist. She was quite happy talking to someone, she hadn't had a full conversation since she was banished here. "Or the Torn world or the Reverse world due to it being the paralle world to the Overworld. Here, the laws of physics are broken and what cannot be done in the Overworld, such as walking on ceilings and levitating endlessly, can be done here."
Shaymin's eyes lit up. "Oh? Can you tell me more? Maybe about yourself too! Please! Please!"
Giratina laughed before shaking her head. "Sorry Shaymin but you shouldn't stay here too long, shouldn't you be doing something in the Overworld? Also, imagine how the other legendaries will react when they find out you've been here."
Shaymin shrugged. "I'll be only for a few minutes. Besides, all I do is pollinate the air and keep it clean in a few areas and I watch over gardens! Also, the other Legendaries can't see into the Distortion world, can they? Please Giratina! Pretty please?"
Giratina tried to refuse but Shaymin looked at her with puppy eyes. The Renegade pokemon tried looking away from Shaymin but the cuteness. It was getting to her. Besides, she needed at least some company. Never did she have anyone to talk to, to laugh with and she begun to feel lonely here, in the Distortion world.
With a sigh, Giratina faced Shaymin again, a look of disappointment, yet sheer joy, on her face. "Alright, but for two hours."
"YAY!" was all Shaymin said as Giratina headed towards her living area, the gratitude pokemon now holding onto her back as she went.
"...so these clouds are caused when time and space begins to distort when Dialga and Palkia battle?" Shaymin asked curiously, perched on one of Giratina's sofas in her library. Shelves amongst shelves were attached to the walls, many books from fiction to non-fiction lined upon them in neat order.
Giratina nodded. "If these clouds continue to appear as time and space becomes more and more distorted, I wouldn't be able to keep the distortion at a less harmful level and the Distortion world will be damaged badly. Not only will this affect this world, but also the Overworld. This means Dialga and Palkia's battle could potentially destroy both worlds if they continue like this."
"So that's why you attacked Dialga earlier! You were furious that he and Palkia were fighting and causing damage to the Distortion world!" Shaymin exclaimed.
"Yes, I just hope Dialga understood and would try and avoid battling with Palkia more," the Lady of distortion answered, leaning back against her sofa that was opposite Shaymin. "Even though this place serves as my prison, my cage, it slowly became home and once I learned about how both it and the Overworld need each other to remain alive. I knew I had to protect it. Without the Distortion world, the distortion will remain in the Overworld and will destroy it. Without the Overworld, there is no Distortion world."
Shaymin watched as Giratina stretched her wings before releasing a large cry of pain, her hand automatically reaching her shoulder and staying there. Another spark of blue electricity sparked through her body. Without hesitating, Shaymin got up from her seat and ran over to Giratina.
"Giratina, what's wrong?" Shaymin asked worriedly, watching as Giratina inhaled deep and painful breaths. Her eyes were squeezed shut and her body trembled with pain.
"Dialga... he wounded my shoulder and must have paralysed me..." came Giratina's voice, she sounded as though she was gritting her teeth together and speaking at the same time. "Damn bastard."
"Here, let me help!" Shaymin told Giratina.
She moved Giratina's coat so that she could see the bruise. It was large and covered the almost all of the lady of distortions shoulder, it looked extremely painful. Shaymin placed both of her hands on the Renegade pokemon's injured shoulder. She closed her eyes and began to focus.
Giratina opened one of her eyes a little and watched as a green light emerged from Shaymin's fingers. Slowly, the light engulfed Giratina, it felt surprisingly warm and she felt the pain slowly vanish. Shaymin continued until Giratina felt herself feeling as though she never battled Dialga. Shaymin pulled her hands away, the light vanishing from both of them. She opened her eyes and smiled happily.
"There! All done!"
Giratina looked down at her shoulder and blinked in surprise, The bruise was gone completely, revealing her pale skin. Shaymin smiled happily.
"W-What did you do?" Giratina asked in a surprised voice.
"I used Aromatherapy!" Shaymin answered. "It allows me to heal other pokemon, no matter what injury they have or what state they're in. You're all healed up now!"
"Why? Why did you help me?" the Renegade pokemon muttered, sounding both surprised and confused. Her eyes were filled with confusion. "Don't you fear me? Didn't you hear the many legends about me and how I was banished for my violence. I'm seen as a monster by the Overworld..."
Giratina's voice trailed off and she looked awayfrom Shaymin. She had heard of many legends about herself from the orbs, some fortold her as a being who wishes to destroy the world, others described her as the pokemon that was banished due to her violence. One legend even described her as a creature that fed on little children. Hearing pokemon talk to her as if shewas evil disheartened her, upsetted her, made her feel more alone than before. She wasn't like that at all.
Shaymin tapped her chin before smiling at Giratina. "Not anymore! I've been told by the other legendaries that you almost lost control over yourself and many different pokemon told me that you only wished to bring destruction to our world, that you should fear the one called Giratina. Yet, they're wrong, you're kind and friendly and just needed a friend! Besides, you were injured and I was just doing what was right!"
"Shaymin..." Giratina whispered, tears appearing in her eyes. Her heart lifted and she, for once, felt happy and not alone.
Shaymin held out her hand to Giratina, a wide smile on her face. "I've also realized you're lonely down here so... would you like to be friends?"
"R-Really? Y-You mean it?" the ghost-dragon pokemon asked, her eyes widened in surprise.
Shaymin nodded and seconds later, Giratina had embraced Shaymin in a tight hug. The gratitude pokemon smiled happily and hugged back. Giratina had a warm smile on her face, overjoyed, no longer would she be alone and hated. She finally had someone who cared and liked her for who she is.
For once, Giratina felt purely happy ever since arriving in the Distortion world.
