No! thought Cyrus. I must keep a straight face! —The one phrase singled out as the part where it became funny.

What do you get when you mix Cyrus and Giratina stranded together, Cyrus being powerless, and Giratina having a playful, curious nature together? This one-shot about the two being shipped together.

This is the first ever Cyrus x Giratina (known as PlatinaShipping) fic, written by Dragonite Ernston Zekürom, author of Generation 2021.

The story can be found here.

Tropes used in For Want of Spirit include:

• Dragon Rider: Cyrus, against his will. Giratina just loads him onto its back and takes off.
• Gentle Giant: Giratina. When Cyrus isn't threatening it with the destruction of both the universes, it shows its gentle, loving side to him.
• Interspecies Romance: The resident Crack Pairing, PlatinaShipping.
• No Biological Sex: Giratina is genderless like in the games. That makes the shipping even less sensical.
• Olympus Mons: Giratina.
• The Stoic: Cyrus tries be this but fails. Miserably.
