I never understood the importance of haveing flowers or plants around. Especially in a dark, gloomy place like my 'home'. Yet, here I am watering this rose like I actually care about it's well being, but it interests me. Mostly due to its color, I've seen Shaymin and Celebi with bright red or dark red roses, yet this one was a strange, dark black and purple color.

It struck me as beautiful, crazy right, the goddess of Antimatter admiring something as simple as a dumb flower? Hell, even I can appreciate the small things in life. I mean, all I've ever known is Turnback Cave and the Distortion World, two cold and life drained places.

So I decided to take care of it, basically getting it water and shielding it from storms and what not, I was suprised to know it actually grew a lot. It took my mind off being alone for a long time. Other Pokemon got scared of me or just ran away. While humans see me as this 'devil', adult humans telling their offspring that if they misbehave, I'll eat their soul.

It's a bunch of bullshit.

Other legendaries are praised for their work and worshipped, like my own counterparts. And then there's me, the dark dragon that will kill you if you go near me. To be fair, I learned to stop caring about it, yet it still hurt to get called rude and disrespectful names, especially from other legendary pokemon.

Shaymin had accused me of trying to eat her because she got in the way when I was trying to teach Dialga a lesson. I don't really blame her, since I did drag her along with Dialga to the Distortion World. But I think we're cool now, she likes to talk to me, I have no idea why she would, but I'm not complaining.

I mean, I had Palkia as a friend, she also enjoyed my company, again, I have no damn idea why.

Anyway, this rose reminded me of something, normally roses are meant to be a romantic type of plant? There was a funny time when after Dialga and Palkia's battle that had almost destroyed Alamos Town, Dialga offered Palkia a bouquet of pink roses as a forgiveness gift because of how he hurt her. She took them, guess Dialga isn't a whimp after all.

Speaking of romance, I hate romance. All the confusing feelings and side effects. Especially THAT IT'S GOD DAMN EVERYWHERE. Yes, even with us legendaries. Dialga ended up taking Palkia out, which somehow succeeded. Basically almost every legendary has a love interest or partner of sorts. EXCEPT FOR ME. Yes, I am the introvert, other guys have tried to talk with me, only to be slapped in the face or yelled at. And I probably will never get anyone to like me, because they will probably be to scared to stand next to me.

Yet there's one Pokemon that I can't stand being next to, because I'll either get angry or annoyed just by him being there.

Arceus.

The Alpha, the boss man, the damn annoying mareep who won't leave me alone. He's always trying to get me to talk to others or trying to strike up a conversation. No means No dammit. I'll admit, he knows how to be charming, nice, or down right scary.

I'm like his shadow in a way, but he's better looking.

But when he banished me all those years ago, is he that idiotic to expect me to want to talk to him? Yeah, no thanks.

If that wasn't annoying enough to me, he could atleast stop trying to constantly make sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. What the hell does he think I'm gonna do? Kill a human?

Speaking of humans, disgusting meatbags. Humans are balls of arrogance and selfishness, the only thing that I thing Arceus 'blessed' them with was their intelligence. Humans are always after our powers and abilities, and I hate it. I hate the fact that every day I have to worry about a human being brave enough to enter my world with a Masterball at the ready.

It makes be kinda glad that humans are scared of me. I mean, it's funny as hell when they get scared of me and beg for their life.

But there was this one incident thats been clawing at me for a while, is actually just happened yesterday. I got an unexpected visit from Palkia, who I actually don't mind talking with, she respects me, I respect her.

Sure, I will admit it gets lonely in the Distortion World and Turnback Cave. If I'm tired of staying in my dimension, then I'll go here, Turnback Cave. So, I decided to go see how the rose was doing. It was right outside my cave so I didn't really have a problem with it.

"Hm...oh. There it is" I said as I look down carefully at it, I could clearly see it had grown since the last time I saw it. "I wonder how big you'll grow...gonna need to ask Shaymin about that..." I sigh and growl, "I'm talking to a damn plant...my life is depressing" I grumble and just looked around at the scenery around my cave. It always had a dark and gloomy element to it, not to mention most of the Pokemon found here were ghost or dark-types, and the occasional poison-type.

"Then again...I don't really have anyone to talk to..." I said looking down.

"You have me"

"WHAT-HOLY SH-" I yelped in alarm as I turn my head swiftly behind me to see a pink and white dragon looking down at me with her magenta colored eyes with a sly smirk.

"Salutations Giratina" Palkia said to me as she landed on the ground a few meters away. I sigh, atleast it wasn't an annoying legendary...

"Hello...Palkia.." I grumble, "I hope you don't mind be dropping in for a visit" she said and sighed, "I just needed somebody sane enough to talk to.."

I brighten up, Palkia wasn't annoying like the rest of the legendaries, she had this cool personality, but could, like most female legendaries, be a demon spawned from hell if you piss her off. "Oh! Actually not at all!" I said trying to reassure her, "Well...what do you need?" I said as she responded sheepishly,

"Advice..."

"Excuse me...did I hear thar correctly?" I said giving her a confused and startled look. Palkia. PALKIA NEEDED ADVICE? I'd never thought that she would ever need advice, and if so, why me? I mean, I am some-what myself around her. Since around other legendaries I'm 'an emo and scary demoness who has a sweet tooth for peanut butter and is always cranky', Mew came up with the description, I have no idea but she found out I liked peanut butter...

Palkia sighed, "Yes...I need advice...please Gira?",ugh, the short nickname calling, she would have gone to one of the other female legendaries, like Lugia or Xerneas, but apparently it's so important that she went to me.

I sigh, "Well...considering you are basically my only friend...except Shaymin..." I say, "Go ahead...I'm listening..."

Palkia took a deep breath and sat down, she smiled thankfully and opened her mouth, "It's about Dialga-"

"Oh no, what happened this time...?" I sigh, when ever Palkia mentioned mr. carbon flashy boy(A.k.a Dialga), it was mostly they got in a fight, or Dialga did something dumb, or both.

There was an awkward silence as I grumble, "Palkia. What did he do?" I said kind or irritated, to which she replied, "Wait! He didn't do anything bad!"

"THEN WHAT DID HE DO WOMAN?"

I noticed Palkia grew a bit uncomfortable and shy, "Ok...but first, promise me you won't laugh...or yell...or anything...please? I don't wan't ANYONE to hear..." she said in a pleading way, which took me by suprise, this must be serious then. "If you say that then you know I'm probably going to that anyway, right?"I chuckle, causing her to give me a glare, "I'm serious!"

"Ugh..ok I swear...just spit it out already ok?"

"Ok..." she took a deep breath, "I don't know what's gotten into me lately, either it's me, or its him...but..." she said crossing her arms, "But..?" I say, waiting for her to respond.

The next thing she said was the most craziest thing to come from her mouth...

"So..." she began.

"I've gotten these feelings..."

"Yes?"

"I think I might have fallen for Dialga. ..." she said in a slightly quieter voice, I froze and stared at her in complete shock for a few seconds, then I grew a grin on my face and, as predicted, I let out a laugh, angering Palkia. "YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T LAUGH!" she yelled.

"Im sorry!" I said in between laughing, "Hahahahaha it's just so unlike you!" I finish laughing and cough, "Dialga? Seriously? Out of all the males you could have picked...you picked...HIM?" I chuckle.

"Ok! I get it! It's weird! We're supposed to not get along! But ever since he asked for forgiveness...HE'S JUST GROWN ON ME! I GROWN FEELINGS FOR HIM!" she yelled in a panicked tone, I yawn, "Why didn't you go to Mesprit for advice?"

"Well...I just prefer to talk to you.." she said, I sigh, "Alright...you know I'm not good at romance. Congratulations, when is the wedding? Am I gonna be main bridesmaid? Is Arceus gonna be best man? When are the kids coming?" I smile teasingly, Palkia's face fumed in embarrassment,

"Me thinks the lady is mad...", "I had to tell someone! Just to get it off my chest..." Palkia sighed,

"Have you told carbon block?"

"N-no..."

"THEN GO TELL HIM!" I yell, "FOR ARCEUS' SAKE HE ASKED YOU OUT, GET YOUR ASS UP THERE AND TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL!" I continue, I could see a smile on her face, "IF I'M GOING TO BE SINGLE FOR ETERNITY, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T! STOP BEING A WHIMP!" I finish, she smiled, "See? You're a really good coach Gira..."

"Anytime..."

Palkia smirked though, "Also...careful what you say...you may not be alone for much longer.." she smiled teasingly, I tilted my head, "Huh? And why is that?"

"Well," she rambled on, "you have me, Shaymin, and Arceus who look out for-"

"Arceus isn't my friend" I grumble, "He's annoying god who has a big ego and won't leave me alone!" I yell, Palkia smirked, "Aw...you don't know that..."

"Of course I do! I mean, he constantly tries to talk with me and get me to socialize! He banished me! Though..." I look down, "When ever I yell at him...I expect him to counter it..he does most of the time...yet...often I can make out hurt in his eyes whenever I do...It serves him right though! Hm!" I growl in annoyance as Palkia sighed and blurted out.

"If only you knew about his true feelings for you..."

...

...

...

Awkward silence.

...

...

...

Until I replied hesitantly,"Um...excuse me?" I said, "What did you just say...?" I prayed I that I misheard her. "Oh nothing...well...I best be going now, thank you Giratina" and with that, Palkia opened her wings and flew off, "YOU DIDN'T ANSWER ME!" I yell, aggravated.

Whar did she mean...by that?

Ever since yesterday, I can't get what Palkia said yesterday...

"If only you knew about his true feelings for you..."

WHAT DID SHE MEAN?

It's been bothering me all day...that could Arceus possibly feel about me? I doubt he would even care, based on the way I treat. He's tried to talk to me only to be pushed away, so why...why would he want to be near me?

I was the one who tried to take his place was leader all those years ago! He should hate me! I can't think of anything...wait...

The more I began to think, a sudden feeling in my chest started, like my heartbeat increased. "No...I refuse to believe it..." I rethought the sentence in my head,

If only you knew about his true feelings for you...

Feelings...where are feelings normally associated...? I remembered what Palkia had said.

"I'VE GROWN FEELINGS FOR HIM!"

No. He didn't. HE COULDN'T. There was no way in hell it could ever happen, he's GOD! M-maybe Palkia was joking...

Arceus...LOVES me?

...

WHY!?

There's no way! I refuse to believe it! The thought of that made me want to gag slightly, not because of him, BUT BECAUSE IF THE FEELINGS ARE ROMANTIC FEELINGS...I'm going to lose it...

Maybe Palkia was joking...she was kind of a prankster, maybe its because she got agitated with me, it can't be true...

And if it is true...shit.

I had no idea how to react to this. I have no idea how romance works! I've always been the loner of all the legendaries, well, except for Darkrai. "And even so, what makes me think I'd love him back? He has everything I don't! He's all sunshine and rainbows and annoying and has a big ego! So why would I-

I'm talking to a flower again..."

So ever since yesterday, I've had his weird feeling in my chest, like a flutter...It's strange...

I've also been annoyed since yesterday, I'm strong and independent on my own...I don't need a partner, especially the one that banished me...

Maybe...

...

Ok, I admit it, maybe a few billion years ago I had a TINY hint of affection towards him, but that was a long time ago, since then, I've hated him. I probably don't have to worry...It's not like I ever cared about him...or he cared about me..until now.

So I do my regular morning schedule by going outside and watering the rose, and maybe getting a drink of water or two. I sigh, I had atleast 15 minutes of free time before I would have to get to work. The New Years for humans had passed recently, so it was the start of a new decade...wait...

"Wait a miniute...its been 10 years...IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS" I panicked, at the start of a new decade, Arceus would do a daily check of all legendaries, making sure everything was ok. My luck couldn't get any worse...

I got up, shit, this is gonna be awkward, It's ok...I'll just play it cool...act like I always do...be a jerk...why is my heart quickening..?

Well...I guess I better wait...

I begin counting when he will arrive... most likely soon, if not, he'll most likely arrive another day.

1 minute.

2 minutes.

3 minutes.

4 minutes.

5 minutes.

6 minu-

Bingo...

I hear a figure landing behind me, I didn't turn around, though I could tell he was expecting a greeting.

"Good morning Giratina," he spoke with that stupid, deep voice of his, "I assume you have been well?"

I groan in annoyance and turn to face him, "Greetings...Arceus...I assume your here to check on me?" I say in a bored voice, he could tell I was annoyed, his emerald eyes studied me, basically read me like a book, it kinda creeped me out.

"Indeed" he said getting closer, "Well...you should take me around your area, I have other legendaries to see..." he said as he stepped uncomfortably close to the precious flower I had worked hard to keep alive and was very protective of. My eyes glow as I hiss, "WATCH IT!" I growl causing him to give me a suprised look and step back, "Something wrong?" he said, I huff, "You almost stepped on it!"

Arceus looked down at the flower and suddenly understood, his eyes glowing slightly, "Ah, I see.." he saud but gave me a confused look, "May I ask...since when did you start caring about flowers?"

I snarl, "Since when did YOU start caring about my life?" I replied,he sighed, ignoring my aggressiveness, "What an unusual color..." he said in awe, "Your favorite color always was black"

That shocked me.

"What. How do YOU know?" I looked at him, he simply replied, "You once enjoyed talking to me..."

That was my first slight sting of guild. I have to keep it together...forget about the times that you enjoyed his company...

"Well then, shall we move on?" he said as I simply nod, leading the way into the cave, the deeper we walked into the cave, the more darker it became, so I sigh in annoyance, "Make sure you don't trip or something"

"I think I can handle myself..." he replied, as we headed into the main room that I basically slept in.

"Welcome to my second home...besides the Distortion World.." I growl, my voice like poison.

"I see...interesting..." he nodded.

I finished the tour and nothing was a miss so Arceus nodded in approval.

"Ok...I'm done showing you everything...can we go outside now...?" I grumble as Arceus nodded simply as it took us a few minutes to come back, the sunlight outside hiting out faces as we went out.

"Great...now you can leave..." I growl, Arceus looked at me, "Actually, there is something I would like to discuss with you" he said, I give him a glare, "If it's a lecture I swear-"

"It's not, I promise you..." he said in a more serious tone, "It's more of...a question..."

That got my attention, "A question?" I look at him confused, "Well...whatever...go ahead" I grumble, he caught me of guard,

"Why do you hate me?" he asked simply.

There was an awkward silence before I glared at him, anger in my voice, I tried not to yell but failed, "You...your asking me why I hate you? Seriously? As if you couldn't guess Arceus, I hate you...for multiple reasons. Your a hypocrite...you banished me to hell and I was forced to suffer loneliness and depression...while you got to see life and humans evolve! New ideas! New opportunities! New love... AND YOU SAY YOU HAVE IT TOUGH! And second, you don't leave me alone! You always get me to try talk to others! But guess what? Almost 99% of all the Legendaries hate or are scared of me! Also, how would you feel if you did something terribly wrong, and want to fix a mistake witg someone, but their to idiotic to listen to you... I have apologized to you so many times for my wrong doing! I don't want to suffer anymore! And you have the guts to ask me why I HATE YOU...?!" I yell at him, he was silent before responding, "Why don't you hear my side of the story? Giratina, do you ever see what I do?" he asked me, "Of course you-" I realized I never really saw him often, so I never saw what he really did, "No? huh" he said and continued, "Well, I don't just float all and out, I am in charge of all of you, but even I suffer from loneliness like you do Giratina, I can't make friends, mostly due to me watching every legendaries safetly and balance, and because I'm immortal like you...your shielded from the grief of losing a friend because you never really had any, but I did, only to watch them die, become friends with someone,a few years pass, they die, repeat and repeat.."

I looked at him in suprised but growled, "You atleast had friends Arceus! But one thing is different from me to you.." I had the guts to put on a smug grin, big mistake. "I atleast have brains! You managed to be tricked by a human! A mere human! And I don't whine about things! So I'm sorry god...BUT FUCK YOU!" I snarl, bringing up the human he had given the Jewel of Life to and was betrayed by that human.

That was the wrong thing to say.

Arceus gave me a look of anger, he scrowled at me, "GI-RA-TI-NA!" he yelled, I sneered, "Did I hit a sensitive spot of yours god? Well I'm sorry..." I said sacrasticly, suddenly, Arceus growled and looked at me with a not amused look, he went up to me as I slowly walked back, slightly worried, until I hit a rock wall, did I actually make him snap?

I trail my eyes away slightly, "Giratina. Look at me" he growled, when I didn't move my eyes, he yelled, "LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M SPEAKING WITH YOU!" he yelled, forcing me to make eye contact,"First, never use that kind of profanity in my presence...second, I'm tired of your behavior. It's childish. And third, I'm finally going to be honest with you, I'm hurt. Emotionally, thats mostly because of you, I may be a god but words can still feel like an actually wound... especially coming from the one I admire that hates me with the power of a thousand suns..so congratulations. You found somebody you actually wants to care about you.." he said and walked away, I began to process all that that he said, and it clicked, it was true...I've...I've been an asshole... Sure, he banished me..

But he kept trying to help while I yelled and pushed him away...

So much for holding in my emotions...

I looked down at the flower and pick it up, the roots coming out out the soil, before Arceus could leave, I tapped his back with my wing, making him turn around to look at me with a now annoyed face,how rare of him to do that...

"Here...as an...I'm sorry..." I say and offer the flower to him, roses are a romantic kind of flower...crap...

But..Dialga gave Palkia a rose as an apology..this rose she had worked hard to care for had grown a lot, maybe it could prove she cared..?

He stared at it for a few seconds before smiling, "Apology accepted." he said, "You can keep the rose" he said, the mood lightened a little, I insisted as he sighed before taking it and putting it on his back. "I'm sorry" he finally said, I've waited so long to hear those words, I suddenly began to get all warm,"Arrgggg I'm blushing..." I think to myself as my face felt warm, but hearing those words made me actually truly smile at him in a while, "I...thank you..." I reply, "I'm sorry about mentioning the human..." I said as his eyes narrow, "It's ok...will you finally have a normal conversation with me?"

"Depends" I reply going back to my smug smirk, "I'll most likely still be the same loner that I am..well...this is getting kinda awkward...I think you should be off, again I'm sorry...I'll...try to be better..." I say as tilt my head as Arceus smirked, "One more thing..."

"Hm?" I looked at him as my eyes widen as both of our mouths touch as I blush heavily,my red eyes stared into his as I made a suprised muffled yelp the moment our lips touched, he was the first to pull back and smiled, "Like I said, I admire you dearly~"

he smirked at my suprised expression, again, very unlike him.

I was looking at him with my jaw hanging open with a suprised face, "I-I..uh..Ar..." was the only think out of my mouth, "F-Ffuck y-you..." I growl in embarrassment. how embarrassing! I never noticed how attractive he looked..and...how...Ugh! I'm gonna start having sappy thoughts of him now.. If his eyes weren't so pretty I'd hit him.. I studdered and my face is red..how humiliating...

Arceus chuckled, "Same old Giratina...fuck you too." he smirked, Arceus learned ways to charm others, mostly wanting to use his skills for her mainly " Addio mia cara signora~" and with that, he bowed his head as he disappeared into the sky, leaving me to rethink my life decisions and start jumping around in happiness. I couldn't help it. THE MOTHER FUCKER KISSED ME! I liked me...

Maybe love isn't such and bad emotion...and maybe I can forgive...

Little did I know two Pokemon near by were hiding in the trees laughing their asses off, "Mew...did you get the picture?" Palkia asked the tiny Pokemon on her head, Mew laughed evily, "Hehe...blackmail..." she continued to laugh. Mew had taken pictures and taken video of the two love birds.

Palkia smiled, "They make a pretty good couple..."

Mew smirked and held up the camera she had and laughed evily, she woukd make sure to embarrass both Pokemon,"Let's go pass the photos to other Legendaries...this is revenge Arceus...for not letting me have candy...now you and your girlfriend are gonna pay the price.."
