Finally got around to writing another chapter. Giratina is one of my favorite Pokémon, and I did my best to do it justice.
I think, starting today, that I'm going to operate on a strict once-a-week schedule for updates. Does that sound fair to you?
Giratina
Type: Dragon/Ghost
Species: The Renegade Pokémon
Home: Distortion World
Giratina is one of the three dragons of reality created by Arceus in the earliest days of the universe. Made the embodiment of antimatter and alternate dimensions, Giratina had a difficult time coping with the stresses of the universe that the rest of its brethren inhabited. Though it often asked Arceus for help maintaining its form in the regular world, its requests were routinely denied. Its fellow dragons did not offer any assistance, either; Giratina had no knowledge that they even had designs to craft a planet until the sphere and its inhabitants were already created.
The gravity of the planet proved too strong for Giratina to simply levitate, forcing it to grow legs while there. As Arceus apparently decided to make the planet its home base, Giratina was forced to take up residence underneath Mt. Coronet. There, the temporal and spatial anomalies Giratina's very existence brought caused no end of headaches for Dialga and Palkia, who grudginly worked to mend whatever damages Giratina inadvertantly caused.
Frustrated with its obvious unsuitability for this world, as well as the harassment it received from Dialgia, Palkia, and Arceus over its nature, Giratina attempted a coup. Its goal was to make Arceus change the structure of the universe in order to allow Giratina a proper existence in it. However, Arceus easily bested the renegade dragon, and banished it to the Distortion World as punishment. This odd and unstable dimension was sealed off from reality, save for weak points at Giratina's former home in Turnback Cave and the summit of Mt. Coronet.
The Distortion World proved a strange paradise for Giratina. It was the closest thing to its natural environment, a place where it could fly freely and bend the laws of physics to its will. Giratina's power here was uninhibited, and it relished in its new found abilities and freedom. Even better, it was completely alone. There was no one to accuse it, or demonize it, or criticise it. Giratina could be itself without regret.
Time heals all wounds. As the ages passed, Giratina grew a tad lonely in its private dimension. Eventually, it dared to travel back into the Pokéworld and see what had changed. To its surprise, it discovered that Arceus had sealed itself away in the Hall of Origin, much to the consternation of Dialga and Palkia, who had become the de facto leaders of the rest of the legendary Pokémon. The other two dragons had long ago brung reality to stability, and hardly remembered ever being upset with Giratina. They introduced Giratina to all the other legendary Pokémon that had come into being and caught it up with all the events that had happened, and soon Giratina was making regular excursions into the Pokéworld.
It still attempts to live a secluded and obscure life, though word of its powers and abilities soon traveled around. It often finds itself called on to make interdimensional portals and other assorted phenomena, and its striking appearance, combined with its mysterious nature, has elevated it to a much adored level of mythic bad-assery among its peers (irritating Dialga, and especially Palkia). It downplays this reputation, though, and keeps its circle of friends small. Currently, it is in a romantic relationship with Darkrai (though Giratina claims that, as it has no gender and can't reproduce, "romantic" is a misnomer) and is good friends with Meloetta, though her celebrity status makes it tough for them to hang out.
