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

This ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' fanfiction is the first ever Cyrus x Giratina (known as [=PlatinaShipping=]) fic, written by Zekurom.

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 [[{{Shipping}} shipped]] together.

The story can be found [[https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/for-want-of-spirit-one-shot-11.98225/ here]].

!!''For Want of Spirit'' provides examples of:

* DragonRider: Cyrus, against his will. Giratina just loads him onto its back and takes off.
* GentleGiant: When Cyrus isn't threatening Giratina with the destruction of both the universes, it shows its gentle, loving side to him.
* InterspeciesRomance: The protagonist couple consists of the human Cyrus and the Pokemon Giratina.
* NoBiologicalSex: Giratina is genderless like in the games. That makes the shipping [[CrackPairing even less sensical]].
%%* OlympusMons: Giratina.
* TheStoic: Cyrus ''tries'' to stay emotionless but fails. Miserably.
-->''(thinking, in response to being tickled by Giratina)'' No! I must keep a straight face!
