(Riley)

Once we made it to the city Max seemed to be keen on supporting his own weight. His pokemon was in his arms as he walked. I lead them both to the pokemon center.

Once inside after arranging our rooms I passed him my contact info. He stared at it blankly for a few minuets before shaking himself and saying "Thanks for your help Riley." He sent his information to me and I programmed it in.

Once that was done I put both of my pokeball's in the rejuvanator and then headed to my own room for a hot shower to wash the trail dust from my tired body.

I was to exhausted to even bother to undress. I made sure though that Mist was on the bed and I arranged my own bedding on the couch. It wasn't the softest surface but Mist had been through a lot more then I had lately so I figured he deserved the bed.

I dearly wanted to cuddle up with my Pokemon friend but with Riley next door it didn't seem to be a good idea.I gazed blearily at the door one last time to make sure it was locked before my head hit the pillow and I was out for good.

(Mist)

I woke up on something soft. My body felt better and I wasn't hurting. I took a appreciative sniff of the air with my eyes still closed and smelled my trainer not to far away. I shook myself as I got up and looked for him.

When I saw him on the couch in his sleeping bag I realized he had given me the bed and taken the less comfortable one for himself. I was grateful but I wish he was in the bed with me. Then there was a knock on the door and he jerked awake like a Pikachu had shocked him.

"Uggg who is it?" he called out rubbing his hands over his eyes and letting out a tremendous yawn. "It's me Riley. I brought coffee, judging by that yawn you need some." Max sighed and looked down at himself then shrugged before opening the door for Riley and accepting the drinks she passed him.

He headed to the small table in the middle of the room and put them down. "You have a bad bedhead." Riley said smirking at him. Max didn't seem to hear as he was to busy inhaling his coffee. I noticed one of to the side and asked _ May I try some? _

Max glanced up and nodded his assent getting a straw for the cup and then sliding it over to me. I carefully held the drink in my paws as I took my first sip and made a face. _ It's very _ bitter Max laughed and poured some sugar and creamer into my cup. _ Try That. _ He sent back and I took a second sip.

It tasted better this time and with every sip I felt my energy level rising. _ Thanks that is much _ better He smiled at me then said "Thanks for bringing over the coffee and for the company Riley." She nodded "Where you headed?" she asked. "To goldenrod city to catch the magnet train to Sinnoh." She nodded and after several minuets asked. "Mind if I travel with you to Goldenrod City?" Max shook his head. "I don't mind. I don't know my way around these parts." Riley grinned and after saying a wink she stood up and left.

Max walked over to the door and locked it. Then he turned to me with a concerned look in his eyes. "How are you feeling Mist?" he asked me "I'm alright. What about you?" He shrugged. "My back is aching pretty bad."

I nodded and patted the bed indicating for him to lay down. He did so laying on his stomach and I moved to sit on his lower back. I began to slowly massage his back using my paws and little spikes of aura to stimulate the nerves as I continued.

Underneath me Max mad sounds of enjoyment and I smiled continuing until I finished. I moved to his side and slipped an arm around him. He turned his head to look at me and smiled before giving me a quick kiss of thanks.

I blushed and then wagged my tail. "Thank you Mist" he breathed before sitting up and stretching. "I guess we had better find something to eat. Would you be up to helping me catch another Pokemon?" He asked.

I nodded. _ Of Course. What did you have in mind? _ ** ** _ I don't really know. But I've been thinking that Giritina seems to be pretty lonely the only reason he showed up in the first place was because he saw Guardevior. _ I frowned and then nodded. _ Yes that's true he does seem to be quite lonely. Perhaps we should talk to him the next time we see him. _

Then as if on cue both of our stomachs rumbled causing us both to crack up. After we managed to catch our breathe we headed out into Ecruteak city to find a place to eat. I didn't see Riley as we left and for that I was grateful. It wasn't that I didn't like her but I had gotten used to the quite time me and my Trainer had.

About an hour later after filling our bellies Me and Max found ourselves just underneath the trees that led to Ecruteak. "Mist Do you think I should try to catch Giritina after we see him again?" Max asked me as he stared into the sky. "_ I Think we should ask Giritina himself before hand. As you saw we stood no chance against his fighting abilities _." I replied

Max nodded. "It's his choice to make." He agreed getting up and dusting himself off.

The next morning after eating breakfast I waited in the Lobby for Riley. When she emerged from her room and collected her Pokemon she turned to smile at me. I grinned back and then jerked my head towards the door. She nodded and held up a finger as she passed the room key to Nurse Joy and then joined me as I headed outside.

Mist had asked to be put in his ball for awhile and I nodded. "Here you go Mist." I said holding his ball out to him. He touched the center and was gone in a flash of light. Then the ball shrunk down to size as I clipped it back to my belt. "Hope your OK my friend." I whispered softly before turning my attention to Riley.

"So How long is the trek to Goldenrod?" I asked to make conversation. "About two days, I was wondering though on how you got here?" She looked at me as she spoke and I found myself wondering if I could trust her.

"Well in most part because of Giritina." I began. "Who is that?" "The master of anti-matter and the Reverse world. He can travel between the two using any reflective surface." I took a second to breathe before continuing. "He found me becuase to save my life my Guardievor created a black hole in front of me and in her weakened state she died. Her soul was dragged to the reverse world and she must have said my name one last time before her soul faded."

"Giritina surfaced twice after that. The first time in a mirror at the Pokemon Center and the second time the bathroom sink. We tricked him back to his world and then he opened another portal and we found ourselves here. Lugia, Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno attacked Giritina upon his reemergence and then Lugia dropped us of at the shore close to Olivine City."

During my narrative we had started down the path to Goldenrod City as The sun reached it's Zenith. I opened my bag and tugged out two bottles of water and offered one to Riley. She accepted it with a smile and then after taking a sip from mine and capping it again I continued. "I haven't seen Giritina since then. If I do see him again me and Mist decided to talk to him and see what happens."

(Giratina)

A whisper of conversation reached my ears from the outside world. I was finally healed from my last encounter and what I heard made me take notice. "Decided to talk to him and see what happens" There was alot more empathy in the voice this time around.

It wasn't hard to figure out who was talking either. I decided I would grant him his chance to talk to me soon. _ It would be nice to see him again. It gets very lonely here in the darkness. _

We walked for most of the day taking little breaks to rest out feet and just enjoy the scenery. That night we slept by a brook and I let Mist out of his ball. He was disoriented at first but regained his calm when he saw me. _ What's up? _ He asked moving to my side in the tent.

_ I missed you today. I wanted to spend some time with you _ tonight. I said smilling softly. He joined me in my sleeping bag without further comment and snuggled close. I held him carefully and drifted off to sleep.

When we woke up in the morning Riley already had her tent packed so I rushed to put my own stuff away. She didn't comment on our lateness just watched us as we finished. She started walking again and I mutley followed her yawining wide.

"One more day and we will be there. It has been nice traveling with you." I smiled softly at her words. "Yeah I agree. Before I leave for good I think I would like to battle you again. " "Is the Lucario the only Pokemon you have?" she asked.

"At present yes. I'm hoping to add another one to the group soon." I said before reaching down to hold Mist's paw. He blushed but didn't make any effort to move away from me. Riley had been watching the exchange and she asked "Are you...forgive me I must be imagining things." She shook her head and kept her eyes forward after that.

We walked unti about midday then we stopped in a clearing to eat. She fed both of her pokemon and I shared some trail mix with Mist. Once we finished she said "Can I send you my contact details?" "Um I don't know how well it would work considering we have different gear I don't know if it my poketech is compatiable with your stuff."

She nodded and initiated the data transfer on her end while I watched my poketech. It beeped and said "Foriegn signal detected... Analyzing" Soon after a progress bar was shown and when it filled the poketech said. "Trainer contact details registered."

Riley looked satisfied and I grinned "Well that was easy," I said and she luaghed before we began our journey again. When the edges of Goldenrod City came into view we cherred and began to run for the city.

Once there we hurridly found the Pokemon Center and after a nice shower with Mist I collapsed into our bed and was soon out cold.

The Next Morning

(Mist)

I woke up to something on my face. When I opened my eyes I saw it was Max's hand. I swatted at it and he grinned at me. "Morning Mist." he said sitting back. "Ready to go home?" he asked me softly. I nodded and sat up before saying _ What if we meet Giritina on the way? _ _ "_Then we will deal with that when it comes. Mist I inted to talk to him alone. If things get hairy I'll release you from your pokeball. _ BUT you could be hurt!" _ I sent with reproach.

"Mist do you trust me?" I nodded mutley. "Then trust me when I say that I have a better chance of talking to Giritina when its just me there. I suspect we will be taken into the reverse world and that will give us the privacy we need."

"_ But Max you can't be sure." _"I am sure Mist. I know my limits." as we spoke he drew close to me and kissed me passionently. "I promise you Mist that it will work out ok." Then before I could blink I was in my ball.

I sighed inwardly and decided to hope for the best.

(Max)

I sighed heavily when I returned Mist to his Pokeball and then decided to change into something more suitable for the impeding journey back home. I kept in mind the fact that I could possible be meeting the god of anit-matter so I chose a dark blue shirt with matching pants and both were covered in cherry blossom prints.

I brushed my teeth and combed my hair before slipping on some deoderant and heading out of my room. I waved to Riley in the hall and then dropped my key on the counter and then when Riley cuaght up we headed to the magnet train station.

"I hope you have a safe journey Max. She said then she said " Oh wait we need to battle before you go. I smiled and nodded. She moved back a few feet and a ring of spectators formed around us.

Riley threw her first pokeball and wobbeffet emerged. "this time its a one on one battle Max." she called and I nodded and released Mist.

"Use Aura Sphere Mist!" "Magic Coat!" I groaned but Mist smirked and he said We did this before. She knows I can block the rebound. Actions suited his words and MIst effortsesly cuaght the rebounding aura sphere which was now 2 times as powerfull. He threw it back once more to the point the match was reduced to nothing more then a game of Pong.

Finally about the seventh time that the aura sphere rebounded Mist could barley hold it and when he threw it one last time it proved to much for the magic coat and wobbeffet got blasted back so fast that Riley barley had a chance to dodge only an elaborate flip stopped her from getting hit with her unconcious Pokemon.

I ran over "That was a close call are you alright?" She panted heavily and nodded before going to get her Pokemon. "That was a good match. Next time your in Jhoto look me up ok?" she said and I nodded watching her go as she left for the Pokemon Center to heal her partner.

Then Mist and I went to the magnet train station. I carried him there as I felt his body shaking with exhaustion. I returned him to his pokeball to rest before purchasing the tickets and I looked over the departing trains noticing one of the tunnels was beginning to show a familiar reflection. I waved to the reflection and approached the platform close to the train where giritiana's reflection was.

"Long time no see. Rather then have you emerge here on the platform could you open the portal and have us speak in your world?" I asked softly and I swear I saw Giritina nod before creating the portal. I stepped into the reverse world on thankfully solid ground and the portal closed behind me.

The legendary pokemon was floating a little below me so we could be on eye level me and so I sat indan style and made myself comfortable before saying "Thank you for bringing me here. I want to apologize for reacting in fear the first time you appeared and attacking you the second time."

The legendary's mental voice was so faint I almost didn't hear it. " _ I Forgive you. I do apologize for frightening you. What made you decide to talk to me this _ *time? *"Your lonliness must be pretty bad. being here all alone with no on to talk to or to call your friend."

He waited patiently as if he knew there was more to my explanation. I sighed and decided that honestly was the best policy. "I know how that feels having been secretly gay all my life. I have always had to hide in the closet and if it wasn't for my two pokemon companions I would have never had any friends."

"My two pokemon were my dearest friends and when I lost guadevior something just seemed to break in me. MIst... I began to show affection for him and he helped me heal. So I know the pain of lonleyness and isolation. I can offer you a permanant home if you wish to take it Giritina. You can join my team and we can travel Sinnoh and the land together. You won't be lonley any longer."

During my talk the legendary had listened patiently and now if I didn't know better I swear I saw it was crying silently. Though if it was tears of happiness or sadness I don't know. _ It would be my pleasure to join your team. _

I held up a single greatball and offered it to the legendary. He tapped it with his nose and in a flash of light was gone. The ball wobbled three times then became still. I quickly released Giritina as the land mass I was on became unstable and vanished.

I screamed like a girl and giritina dove after me and managed to catch me on his back before creating another portal and together we emerged into the center of the station. Many screams were sounded at our emergance and the security guards drew their guns as the massive legendary roared in defiance. I hastily got off of his back and shouted "It's Ok he doesn't mean you any harm!"

The officers chambered a round and several flashes of light faded to reveal various pokemon all with their attentions on us. I mentall cursed and then said "Sorry Giritina but seems you need to be back in the ball." He nodded and I returned him with a huff.

"You people are such....grrrrrrrrrr!" I broke off growling in annoyance before quickly getting onto the sinnoh train and waiting for it depart silently fuming. Mist's Pokeball opened during my mental rany nad his soothing touch brought my thoughts to a screeching halt. We were alone in the carriage Just Must and I and I was looking forward to our privacy as I drew him into a kiss.
