I wrote this really last minute because I've been playing Moon all weekend. So sorry for any errors. It might be easier to say Giratina's lines out loud to understand the hissy speech.

Angel feels the stare of the terrifying dragon hovering before them. Its beady eyes stares at the duo and a hiss exhales from its muzzle. The platinum turns her face away from Cynthia's chest and slowly flits her eyes to look at the giant.

"Iahh Khll Zyu."

The violet eyes widen and her breathing accelerates when she unscrambles the pronunciations. She pushes out of Cynthia's arm and sprints forward. The dragon senses her intent and breaks the part of the land away. It ignores the hatchling's mother's frantic pleas, although a slight pain appears in its chest as it brought the small morsel to eye level.

The ancient voice growls and the legendary is slightly thrilled by the way the rumble made the hatchling before it tremble.

"Y-you need to calm down Giratina… I-I don't want to disrespect you, but-but if you go out of control… your power will distort the dimension and-and…" Angel feels the lump stick in her throat as she tries to swallow.

"Whatz kar you kryin to zay tu me?"

"Nothing! Just-just that we-we'll leave. We-we'll even take Cyrus and you can be left alone again."

The monster roars at her and Angel is forced back again. The black pupil constrict into slits and the child purses her lips to withhold her scared scream.

"Whach your whords hatchling."The dragon warns in a serpentine hiss.

"I-I'm sorry. I thought… why are you here Giratina?" Angel inquires meekly as she starts inching forward again.

"Whyy doez tis conzern yoou?"

"Because you don't seem to enjoy being lonely."

The creature pauses for a moment to consider the question before twisting around and flying to a separate sector of the dimension. Angel's little chunk of rock follows after the long body and they come to a stop in front of a portal. The black tendrils move aside to allow the child to peer through the small dimensional window.

"Tis is ta only whindow tu your world here." The voice softens slightly as it stares outward.

The platinum glances through the wavy pool and takes a glimpse at the cavern on the other side. Rocky walls surround the small light at the end of the tunnel and, if she squinted, she could make out the outline of a bank of water in the background. A tiny spot of beauty amongst a dark, murky interior.

"Why are you here Giratina?"

"Some things, hatchling, chan't be fixzed. Thare are things thaat can't be atoned for."

"Like what?"

The dragon returns its gaze to the portal, "Iah turned on ta ahlpha. You humans called hem Arceus. Iah gat shik of Dialga and Palkia fhighting for trespassing on each other's tarritory. Iah attacked them; chauzhed a war amongst the legendaries. Then turned my attacks on tah alpha wheen he appeared to breahk up the fight. It haz been over a millennia shince I've seen the sun rise."

Angel pauses to consider the fact and brings a hand to her waist. Giratina turns to watch and glares skeptically at the small contraption. It stares at the pokeball held before its face.

"I-I can take you away from here. We-we can travel together and, and if you don't like me I will release you. I-I can let you see the sunrise again."

The legendary stares at the little red sphere before turning its eyes towards the blonde, "I'm nhot ahllowed ta lheave my dimension. Arceus wouldn't allow it."

"Everyone deserves a second chance Giratina. A millenia of loneliness: isn't that enough punishment? Come with me. Join my adventures."

The beast doesn't respond, but leans forward and nudges the button with its nose. A white glare erupts and the colossal creature is absorbed into the pokeball. The ball shakes slowly and Angel waits for it to burst open. However, after three long shakes it settles and stops glowing.

Angel raises the ball and Giratina pops out. It watches curiously as its new trainer raises the orb. The obsidian tendrils reach out and gingerly grasps its orb. The irregularly shaped object is placed besides its skin where is glows as it sinks into the body for safe keeping.

"Can you get me back to my Mama?"

The creature nods and zooms across the dimension towards the blonde mother. Angel's island follows.

Angel jumps off the land mass and is instantly grasped by Cynthia into an almost painful embrace. The champion stare warily at the the renegade that she saw get absorbed into a single pokeball. The child notices and nudges her mother slightly in the ribs.

"It's fine Mama. Giratina's going to join me for now."

Angel places the new recruit on her waist and turn stiffly at the clapping in the distance.

Cyrus stands stoically. His dead eyes sparkle slightly, "You got to it before I could. A mere child caught that monster in a single pokeball." The man hmphs before throwing a small bag at the child.

"Take them. I don't need them anymore."

The two blondes turn their gaze to the cloth bag and Angel pulls at the strings. Six travel sized pokeballs lay inside the knapsack.

"Why… Cyrus?" Angel asks into the empty space.

The man was gone.

"Where'd he go Mama?"

"I don't know. It doesn't matter, let's go home."

Giratina twitches slightly and hovers over the piece of land, waiting patiently for the two to board the island, before guiding them both to its portal. The dragon condenses into its new home and the duo passes through the portal.

"This… this was not what I was expecting to be on the other side of the Distortion World." Cynthia states as takes in the pristine scenery surrounding her and her daughter.

"What is this place Mama?" Angel asks as she splits off to explore the lake. Her small hands run along the sides of the depression's rock walls and squints to see the grassy blades at the top of the cliff's plateau.

"They call it Sendoff Spring. Not many people know of it because they keep it off maps, but it is said to be where spirits leave this world."

"So peaceful. To stare at this for a millennia and not be able to reach it…"

Cynthia stares at her strangely, but doesn't pry and heaves the child onto her hip. "Come on, Love. Call out Mystic and let's go home."
