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.

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

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.
