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

For Want of Spirit provides examples of:
- Dragon Rider: Cyrus, against his will. Giratina just loads him onto its back and takes off.
- Gentle Giant: When Cyrus isn't threatening Giratina with the destruction of both the universes, it shows its gentle, loving side to him.
- Interspecies Romance: The protagonist couple consists of the human Cyrus and the Pokemon Giratina.
- No Biological Sex: Giratina is genderless like in the games. That makes the shipping
even less sensical.
- The Stoic: Cyrus tries to stay emotionless but fails. Miserably.(thinking, in response to being tickled by Giratina) No! I must keep a straight face!
