Chapter 4 : Legendary Liasion

Naruto and Cynthia could only stare dumbfounded.

There right in front of them was one of the strongest and most notorious Pokémon known to mankind.

The Renegade Pokémon and ruler of the Distortion World, Giratina itself.

It took them a couple seconds to reboot their overloaded minds and shake their heads to regain cognitive thinking. Not much longer and stars appeared not only in their eyes, but all over their tiny frames.

Giratina could only look on confused at the suddenly sparkling children; one could make out a tiny sweatdrop when looking closer. Before it could be distracted even more by shiny humans, it reaffirmed the existence of the Griseous Orb and started moving towards the world-separating barrier.

Back at the lake the children clearly saw Giratina moving closer, which could mean only one thing!

'We will meet our first legendary Pokémon today!'

As if knowing that the other's thoughts were in alignment with their own, they looked eyes, or eye in Cynthia's case, and nodded, determination burning brightly.

'We will definitely not let this chance slip through our fingers!'

With that final thought the lake rippled once, creating a perfectly smooth surface. Little beads of sweat rolled down their faces.

The moment Giratina would've touched the surface, its body started glowing violet and began changing; simultaneously the lake lit up in the same colours; winding currents started appearing, slowly building up to a vast maelstrom.

All the while Naruto and Cynthia had to physically restrain themselves from bouncing around; holding and squeezing the other's hands was their prefered way. They always did; it was comfortable, so why change it?

Their excitement skyrocketed after noticing something starting to emerge from the newly formed vortex and recognizing it as Giratina's still glowing head.

The more it moved out of the vortex the more its body changed.

Flowing streamers fused to two ghostly wings, but retaining the red spikes; the once serpentine body now taking on a more sauropod-like appearance, while the six spikes morphed into thick, clawed legs. Its face was visible now and the golden mask changed into a more helmet-like shape.

When it completely left the portal the the glow receded and revealed Giratina in all its glory, hovering above the lake.

Before the tension could rise any higher, it was broken by a stream of questions from the two children, who just couldn't contain their eagerness and thirst for knowledge any longer.

"Are you the real Giratina?"

"Is it true that Arceus banished you?"

"Are there any other Pokémon in the Distortion World?"

"Why did you change forms?"

"Are you a boy or a girl?"

"Can you understand and speak the human language?"

"Why are you even here?"

Shooting one question after another and finishing jointly, they were now standing on their tiptoes, trying to get closer to Giratina's face. Of course their tiny bodies were nowhere near enough to reach the floating Giratina, but at that moment they didn't really care.

Giratina may at first have been outraged finding the orb in the hands of some children however it just couldn't stay mad after taking a closer look.

'These tiny humans are quite odd, though I feel no ill intent or any kind of darkness in them; how… pure.'

Deciding to ponder later about these peculiar humans, it spoke up for the first time since time immemorial; solely because it never had to interact with humans before. Screeching and growling at other Pokémon doesn't really count.

"You intrigue me, little ones."

It sounded like multiple voices speaking at once, though the feminine tone definitely being the more dominant one, providing a strangely soothing atmosphere.

"I haven't encountered such pure creatures since the Creation, so let me answer your questions. In exchange you will answer mine."

Not daring to speak, they nodded their heads up and down so fast, only a blur was visible.

"Good, but be not afraid to raise your voice. Legends may portray me as violent and vicious, however I would recommend always to make ones own opinion before judging. Also, to answer one question right away: we legendary Pokémon have no specific gender; I let you decide for yourselves."

"Wow, you're a lot nicer than I imagined! Right, 'Ruto?"

Nodding vigorously he replied, "Definitely! You're totally awesome!"

Even though they haven't known Giratina for long, the fact that the supposedly super evil Pokémon didn't attack them outright and take whatever she is here for was a big plus in their books!

Yes, she. In their minds Giratina sounded way too feminine to be considered genderless or, God forbid, male.

They beamed up at Giratina with huge, toothy, close-eyed smiles.

"Your compliments flatter me. On to your questions, children. Indeed I am the real Giratina. As you can see for yourselves, I can understand and communicate in human tongue," before the two could ask their obvious question, she added, "Tongue can also mean language."

Their open mouths closed again and sheepishly rubbed the back of their heads.

"There may be different Pokémon able to copy my appearance albeit only I can travel between my home, the Distortion World, and this dimension freely.

I apologize for not answering your question regarding my banishment but it is something I would like not to talk about."

"That's fine! Everyone has their own secrets after all," Cynthia exclaimed cheerfully, "Like how I won't tell 'Ruto what his next birthday present will be!"

Naruto only puffed up his cheeks at her remark and pouted cutely, eliciting a giggle from Cynthia; she gave him a quick smooch on the cheek, bringing back his radiant smile.

"Understanding and trust are highly important yet extremely dangerous. Choose wisely on who to trust and who deserves your compassion."

"My mothers also told us something similar too! 'Not all is it looks like. Don't just trust anyone; always be cautious.' or something like that."

"Grandma also likes to remind us of that!"

All the while they stood with their arms crossed in front of their chest, nodding their heads with closed eyes; it was a rather cute sight.

'Two mothers and one grandmother... Those three raised them immaculately,' Giratina thought, impressed. Not all families without a fraternal figure can raise such splendid children.

"That is very good. I commend them for their splendid work they did raising you two."

By now Giratina landed near the children who were comfortably seated on the grassy ground.

"To answer you next question: no, there are no other Pokémon inhabiting the Distortion World but me; it was created by myself and only someone who either has my approval or finds a portal, big enough for them to fit through, can enter. Up until now there was no such incident, though there are disturbances from time to time I will properly explain later."

"Wow, you created your own dimension? We read about you living there but that one is new. So awesome!" Naruto said enthusiastically, rocking back and forth in excitement.

Cynthia was just as fascinated and could only concur, nodding wildly.

"Once again, I appreciate your compliment however I am not the only one with such power. Anyway, this brings us to your next question.

In the Distortion World gravity works differently, constantly shifting and not as restricting. Solid ground is scarce and flying is the quickest way maneuvering around. Compared to my own dimension, here gravity is stronger, earth and water are widespread, so my body has to adapt.

Constantly flying and floating in this unfamiliar dimension can be hazardous for me; I tire a lot faster. Legs help me more than streamlined spikes and Wings are a necessity for flight as long as you are not a Psychic.

All in all I trade a portion of my speed and power for defense and safety. I do this subconsciously; you could call it survival instinct. "

"That is incredible! The ability to adapt to a whole new dimension being build into your body sure must be convenient," Cynthia chirped up amazed.

"But can you change back to your other form here too?" A curious looking Naruto asked.

His best friend perked up at this and eagerly waited for the answer to that question.

"Quite so, but I require a specific artefact to be able to transform back. An artefact I lost ten years ago," Giratina finished with a pointed look shot in the direction of Naruto's necklace.

It took them a second before noticing where she was looking and gasped in surprise.

"So that is why it was glowing? It was reacting to you?" Cynthia asked curiously.

Naruto was just holding it in front of him, completely enraptured by the glowing crystal.

"Yes, it send out an energy pulse I detected while you were holding it above the lake's surface. As you may know I can peer into your world using various reflective surfaces and observe events happening here."

"Yup, the stories about you told us as much; we just didn't know if all stories are true or not. Now we know! One step closer to our goal, right 'Ruto?"

"Yea! Someday we'll have our own books, full of our stories and facts about legendary Pokémon!"

After giving each other a high five, they settled down again, apologized to Giratina and waited for her to continue.

"An interesting goal you two have in mind.

Back to the artefact; it is called the Griseous Orb. Even though it is called an orb, its shape is distinctly crystalline. It once was a part of me, coming into existence at the same time as I was 'banished'. Due to its nature it only benefits me, restoring the lost portion of my power, increasing my strength and bestow on me the ability to turn back to my Origin Form."

There was one question burning in Naruto's head right now and he couldn't help but ask it, "How did it appear in Eterna Forest ten years ago? My mommy and momma had it for so long. I bet they were in front of a mirror or something like that at one point or another."

Cynthia pondered on that question for a bit, before telling her own theory, "Maybe it wasn't visible when they stood in front of them or they didn't even wore it as a necklace but carried it around in a small box."

"Now that you mention it, they never told me how they used to carry it around. Heck, they just gave it to me this morning and it came in a little box too!" he exclaimed quite surprised himself.

"Normally the crystal is safe with me in the Distortion World. I was careless and overconfident, so I put the crystal into one of the many caves; however a decade ago a particularly strong space-time quake opened a rift and the tremors lead to the Griseous Orb falling into aforementioned rift. It must have reappeared in Eterna Forest.

For me to pick up its energy signature the crystal must be exposed directly to a reflective surface. The energy being sent out by the artefact itself is not able to penetrate physical barriers; that may have been the reason why I haven't found it until now.

From what I understand it holds great sentimental value to you… ," silently inquiring their names.

They caught on quickly and introduced themselves with vigor,"My name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki!" "And I'm Cynthia Carolina!"

"Nice to meet you!" "It is a pleasure to meet you to, I must request of you two though to please return it to me; it is very important to me."

After hearing her request, they locked eyes and held a silent discussion. Several seconds later they nodded to each other and Naruto spoke up first, "We will give it back to you," Giratina visibly relaxed hearing him saying that, "But only under one condition!"

Suddenly becoming tense again, her mind went into overdrive, 'Did I misjudge them? Are they just talented in masking their true intentions?'

Before the image of the children could deteriorate any further, Cynthia's joyful voice interrupted her morbid thoughts.

"Be our friend!"

That statement completely caught her off guard. All dire thoughts instantly vanished as she heard the sincerity in her voice.

"It must get pretty lonely and boring with no one to play with and no one likes being lonely and bored!"

"So Cynthia and me decided we want to be your friends! We would have so much fun together!"

Giratina was truly touched by their "demand". Such kindhearted humans are few are far between.

"Your 'condition' seems... reasonable. I gladly accept it, living in seclusion for so long without proper company can be quite… bland."

Her approval elicited a cheerful "Yay!" from the children who discarded all their reservations and ran up to one leg respectively, giving her a big hug; well, trying to give her a big hug.

This surprised Giratina.

'They truly do not fear me in the slightest; I don't know whether this is a good thing or a testament of my lacking intimidation factor… ,' she pondered quietly.

A glow in her peripheral shook her out of her thoughts. Looking down she saw a widely grinning Naruto holding out her Griseous Orb without any hint of hesitation. Cynthia, with the same grin plastered on her face, stood directly besides him, hands clasped together behind her back and leaning forward; her sunhat was long forgotten, lying around somewhere near the lake.

Suddenly the crystal turned translucent and floated off of the string it was braided to, moving towards Giratina.

"I thank you two for returning this to me. This time I won't let it out of my sight for even a single second."

The second the Griseous Orb vanished into her body, it started glowing beautifully violet. As the light faded, it revealed her Origin Form once again, now floating slightly above ground and head bowed in deep appreciation.

"Well, it was yours to begin with and you answered tons of our questions, even if you didn't have to!"

Naruto's joyous mood quickly changed to trepidation as he realised something crucial.

"How will I explain this to my mothers?! I can't just blurt out that I met a legendary and I gave the reason they are together away!"

Observing the panicking Naruto, Cynthia could only sweatdrop. A couple seconds of pacing back and forth by Naruto later, she decided to put a stop to it and grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him around.

"Calm down 'Ruto! We will find a way out of this! If we work together, we will work out something eventually," she said trying to cool his head down.

The other onlooker could only look on amused by their predicament they found themselves in.

'I do hope this will not be a bad idea… Well, I won't know without trying, I guess.'

"I may have a solution to your little dilemma."

Perking up at the prospect of potentially escaping punishment, they paid rapt attention to Giratina.

When she noticed that she had their full attention, she took a deep breath and exhaled; a small, reflective marble floated out of her mouth. It stopped midair between Giratina and the children.

Suddenly a tiny piece of Giratina's top golden half rings broke away, leaving a tiny indentation, and started gravitating towards the still floating marble.

Once reaching its intended destination, the golden fragment enveloped the marble completely, hiding it from view; it morphed between different shapes for a few seconds before stopping, revealing a crystal looking exactly like the Griseous Orb.

When everything was finished, it started floating down and came to a halt directly in front of Naruto and Cynthia, who could only stare fascinated during the whole process; they sure did that a lot today.

"With this, there shouldn't be any problems for you. It looks identical to the original, though is not imbued with my power.

Before you take it, I would like to ask you a couple questions."

Seeing no problem with that they nodded and Cynthia exclaimed happily, "Ask away! You answered so many of our questions, it is only fair we do the same!"

"It was no problem; after all you returned a missing part of me," Giratina replied sincerely before continuing, "My first question is, will you two start your own journey to uncover the secrets this world bears, to reach new heights, meeting new people and Pokémon alike, and make new friends?"

"Of course!"

They didn't even have to think about what to say before brightly shouting their answer together.

If one could see Giratina's face right now, one would see a small warm smile on her face.

'What conviction; that only reassures me that my decision will be the right one,' she thought impressed and relieved.

"A splendid answer. Before I ask my next question I would like to tell you two about an ancient rule we legendary Pokémon upheld since the beginning of you humans."

"Us?" an astonished pair of children asked while pointing at themselves.

"Yes. To be more precise, it started when the first Pokémon allied themselves with humans and fought alongside them."

A look of realisation and shock appeared on Cynthia's face.

'No way! Is she going to ask us what I think she is going to ask?!' she thought to herself. Her mind a whirlwind of possible outcomes and emotions.

Naruto seemed to think about her statement too, but didn't come to any conclusive thoughts yet.

Wanting answers, she waited patiently for Giratina to explain what exactly she means.

"The basically says that if one is a Pokémon of legendary origin, it is only possible to choose one human, who is found worthy, to become the lifelong partner of said legendary; partner in battle and life."

By that point it already dawned onto Naruto what Giratina was implying and gained a similar look as Cynthia.

"I hereby offer you two the same opportunity. I wish to assist you two on your journey. Remember that only one can be chosen. It won't impede our friendship though. Even if I am solely partnered to one of you in battle, It won't stop me from being the… friend of the other."

The word "friend" still felt foreign to Giratina after countless time spent alone.

'It feels oddly satisfying to call somebody my friend,' she pondered amusedly.

"The one who wishes to accept my offer shall take the newly created Mirror Ball and finalise the contract," she finished before floating back a bit. This is a crucial point that will determine her actions afterwards.

Meanwhile Naruto and Cynthia were dumbstruck at her offer; it wasn't even two days since they read about Giratina in history and story books, and now the very legendary herself offered her partnership to one of them!

Cynthia suddenly stood up and pointed at a surprised Naruto and proclaimed loudly, "You should do it. The Orb was yours to begin with, so it is only right that you partner up with her!"

Before he could protest, she stood with hands on her hips and added full of confidence and conviction, "Someday I will find my own legendary partner! Someone just as cool as Giratina! How can I travel besides you and call myself your wife one day if I can't protect you properly!"

Blushing slightly, Naruto could only smile widely at her enthusiasm.

'How can anyone not like her? She is perfect!' he thought to himself amazed.

"If you are really, super sure about it, I will accept," he stood up and declared with just as much conviction, "But I will help you as much as I can! What kind of husband would I be if I couldn't support my wife-to-be!"

Now it was Cynthia's turn to blush but her radiant smile never vanished; on the contrary, it grew even brighter.

"I expected nothing less from you!" she said happily.

Finalising their own little pact with a firm handshake while locking eyes and a quick hug, they turned towards Giratina full of determination.

"I see you came to a conclusion. Now, step forward and take the Mirror Ball to complete the requirements," she said, overwhelmed with joy by their prior dialogue.

'It seems like I made the right decision calling him,' Giratina thought with a relieved smile.

Not able to see her face, Naruto and Cynthia were none the wiser about her thoughts.

Naruto took a determined stepped forward and shot one last look at Cynthia. She told him everything he needed to know just by nodding once and giving him a thumbs up coupled with a toothy grin.

Her message was as clear as Groudon's Sunny Day.

"Go for it!"

Turning back, he slowly reached out for it; his hand hovered over the artefact for a few seconds. Taking one last deep breath, he closed his fist around it. Suddenly the Mirror Ball started shining brightly through the cracks of his hand.

Naruto wasn't fazed much by it and held on strong. There was no change to the crystal except for the glow.

Glowing lines made their way along Naruto's hand, converging on the back of it, forming dark blue spiral. It lightened up shortly and then vanished again.

During the whole procedure not only Naruto but Cynthia too, who moved to stand right beside him, could only stare spellbound by the little lightshow.

They were shaken out of their stupor by Giratina's gentle voice.

"With that we are now bound for life. The insignia that appeared on your hand bears my energy signature, but not my energy itself, symbolising you as my envoy and partner; it allows me to find you wherever you are and whenever you need me.

If you wish to summon me, just focus those thoughts onto the insignia. They will be send to me instantaneously and I will respond to you in the same way, so do not be surprised when you suddenly hear my voice in your head," she explained with a small laugh at the end.

After that explanation they could only stare in wonder at what this little symbol could do.

Cynthia though looked like she pondered about something before asking, "But why is the new crystal called 'Mirror Ball'? I don't see any mirrors," she emphasised that statement by inspecting said object close up, which was now lying on top of Naruto's skyward facing palm.

"Good question; for that I would like Naruto to focus his thoughts onto the Mirror Ball and wish for it to expand, similar to any type of Poké Ball."

Seeing no reason why he shouldn't do it, Naruto did exactly as she asked him to.

'OK, now first focus onto the Mirror Ball,' a picture of aforementioned item appeared in his mind, 'Next think of expanding Poké Balls; just like mommy's and momma's!'

With that final thought the previously small crystal suddenly turned into an Orange-sized ball.

Not expecting this outcome, Cynthia and Naruto jumped a little in shock but that soon, once again, turned to fascination accompanied by quiet exclamations of wonder.

Upon closer inspection it looked exactly like the small marble that came out of Giratina's mouth when she created this, just bigger. The most remarkable aspect of this Mirror Ball was that, like its name implies, the whole surface of the ball was completely reflective. It still bears the cosmetic indicators of a normal Poké Ball though. Those being the separation line, dividing it in two halfs (which look exactly the same), and the obligatory button a normal Poké Ball has to toggle the expansion.

The reflection image was as clear as the reflected object itself, meaning there were no differences at all. Somehow it could even prevent the images from warping and function like any other flat mirror.

"Oh! So that is what this is for!" they both exclaimed in realisation.

"It seems like you figured out the purpose of this Mirror Ball already. Impressive," she said, her voice carrying a delighted tone.

"Ah, it was nothing," they replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of their heads at the same time.

Usually people would react in some way if another person mimics oneself nearly perfectly, but it happened so often already for the two that it just turned into another everyday thing for them. They found it quite funny the first couple of times it happened, but after a while they saw it as proof that showed how just how much they had it common.

"Well, when one thinks about it for a bit and consider its connection to you everyone could've figured it out," Naruto answered bashful, still rubbing his head.

Cynthia added cheerfully, "Totally! I mean it's a Mirror Ball. Knowing that you use reflective objects and surfaces to travel the dimensions made everything crystal clear! You could call it a pseudo Poké Ball, specially made for you!"

'What outstanding children; they are not only humble but also incredibly perceptive. I can't wait to see what kind of change their journey will bring to this world! '

Excitement bubbled up in Giratina for the first time since the last big battle between the legendaries, which was centuries if not millennia ago.

"Brilliant thinking you two. It indeed is a means for me to appear before you should you be in need of my assistance or wish for my company. After all, there won't be any mirrors or the like in a forest, not to mention caves.

As you may know, legendary Pokémon cannot be captured. We would simply destroy it; it is impossible to contain a force of nature with tiny, man-made objects and that is another advantage of the Mirror Ball; it is nigh indestructible. Only me or Arceus itself are able to break it."

It was one surprise after another for the children today.

They already knew that legendaries can't be captured by conventional means, but to think that this small ball was so incredible fascinated them to no end!

"That is incredible! Let's make sure we never lose it 'Ruto! We should make a special box or necklace for it!" an excited Cynthia suggested to Naruto, who could only shake his head in agreement.

"Good idea! Let's ask grandma, mommy or momma when we get back!"

After agreeing to their little plan to keep the crystal safe, Naruto shrunk the ball down again; he figured if he can expand it with a thought, why shouldn't the opposite work?

Not only the children were in for a fair share of surprises on this day it seems; Giratina was astounded by how fast Naruto got used to the Mirror Ball, even to the point of figuring out how to turn it back again. Without any help to boot!

There still was a small question floating in Giratina's mind, "Though I must ask, were you not scared of me when I first appeared in front of you?"

Looking up at her they only shook their heads, "Not really! I mean sure you look pretty intimidating but if we fear any legendary Pokémon we encounter how can we be friends with them all?" Cynthia exclaimed as if it was the most obvious thing in the world; Naruto only gave a thumbs up after Cynthia's explanation

"What a... splendid reason," she could only sweatdrop. Their reason was odd but commendable nonetheless; it was the right attitude to have for their upcoming journey. 'At least it was not entirely my fault.' a small sigh of relief escaped her.

Noticing that it was getting late, Naruto and Cynthia decided to head back home for now.

"We thank you for everything Giratina! But we must go now or my mothers will be really mad at us for staying out for so long, not to mention missing dinner!" Naruto sincerely thanked her with a deep bow. His best friend mimicked him and bowed just as deep.

Yet before they could run off, they were interrupted by Giratina's voice once again.

"Understandable, but please stay just a little longer; I have one last surprise for you two, especially for little Cynthia," her eyes glinting with mischief.

'Even more surprises?!' was the shared thought of the two blonds.

"You already did so much for us! We're not even sure if we really deserve all this awesome stuff you already gave us," Cynthia said in a small voice, drawing circles in the dirt with her foot.

Even though Naruto wanted to somehow cheer her up, he actually felt quite similar.

"Yea, we just gave back something that belonged to you anyway. Everyone would've done that."

Deciding to dispel the gloomy mood, Giratina mock scolded, "Nonsense! Don't sell yourself short like this; you two are wonderful human beings. Not everyone would've just returned something of such value to me without demanding outrageous rewards or ransoms."

"So put back on those radiant smiles and await this surprise with the same excitement you showed before!" she proclaimed joyfully.

All negative thoughts evaporated instantly after hearing her heartfelt speech.

"Thank you, Giratina!"

Glad the two children were back to their cheerful and bubbly selves, she awaited a certain someone's arrival.

A devious idea popped up in her mind and she couldn't help but giggle to herself internally, not unlike a certain red headed mother just before a glorious prank.

Back in the daycare, Kushina was currently tending to the eggs Cheryl brought with her from Kalos, putting them in individual incubators.

"Chu!"

A cute sneeze escaped her; pulling out a handkerchief she cleaned her nose swiftly before putting it back into her pocket.

"Are you alright, dear?" Cheryl's concerned voice came from behind her.

"Yep! Everything is A-OK! I bet someone just awakened their inner prankster!" Kushina exclaimed with a boisterous laugh, head held high and hands on hips.

*clonk*

Kushina was crouching low, nursing the new, still steaming lump on her head; crocodile tears flowing out of her eyes.

The ever reliable ladle still in hand, Cheryl furrowed her brows and started scolding Kushina like she was a misbehaving child; in some ways that statement held a surprising amount of truth.

"Less playing around and more working, missus! Otherwise you not only cook dinner by yourself, but sleep alone today too!"

Cheryl emphasised her threat by crossing her arms and turning away with an upset expression; occasionally throwing an inconspicuous glance back and gauging her reaction.

Of course she would never go through with that threat; she wanted Kushina in bed with her just as much as Kushina her after all.

Kushina could only gasp in shock. Not spending the night with her wife? Blasphemy!

Throwing herself at Cheryl and holding her firmly around the waist, her head level with Cheryl's stomach; She looked up with big watery eyes and quivering lips: the dreaded Puppy Dog Eyes!

"I will be a good girl! Please don't leave me! I will work really, really hard! Stay with me!" she wailed in desperation with comical tears running down her eyes.

After seeing the miserable form of her wife she just couldn't keep a straight face any longer and broke out laughing; she kissed the lump on Kushina's head as if wanting to make it better and then pecked her quickly on the nose.

She moved her lips besides Kushina's ear and whispered a quiet, "Gotcha." and twirled herself out of the grip and skipped back to work, leaving a dumbfounded Kushina behind.

'I just got pranked… by my wife!' she stood up and slowly got back to work. Her face all of a sudden broke into a huge smile.

'God, I love this woman!'

Some may not like my portrayal of Giratina, but I had not much to work with and I decided to try my own approach; hopefully it isn't too aweful!

I was not sure if I should make the last part an Omake or not, but decided just to keep it like it is. If there are any complaints, please mention it in a PM or review.
