This is a sneak preview for my Advanceshipping fic I'm currently working on. Even though it's only a prologue I hope it'll get you curious enough to read it all when it's finished. In posting it here, I'm trying to discipline myself to continue writing. Anyway, on with the story. Constructive criticism is welcomed, but please note that the rest of the story will be first person as opposed to third. Enjoy! And review plz, I could kind of use some feedback. Rated T, I guess. I'm not entirely sure. Sorry for being so late>_>

“So, you have reached me at last. After your display of power in the Distortion World, I can’t say I’m surprised,” the blond haired woman said, her eyes focused on the young man before her.
The man, or perhaps boy was a more fitting word, simply gave a small grin. “I take it you know what this means? What Pokémon you will face in this battle?” he asked.
His voice was low and dark, but somehow it sounded wrong. As if the boy was masking his true voice. His emerald eyes, however, betrayed no stress of any kind. They were locked on the dark-clothed woman in front of him, the Pokémon Champion Cynthia.
“I know. You’ll use Giratina, won’t you?” She shook her head disbelievingly. “After everything you’ve been through, after all the mess with Team Galactic, I thought you would know better.”
The boy chuckled. “Cyrus was a fool. If he hadn’t been so intent on infusing himself with the power of Dialga and Palkia instead of simply harnessing it, he would have been the most powerful person on the planet. But he was blind, and gave me the very tool that would have made him powerful beyond his wildest dreams. His Master Ball captured Giratina. Giratina’s overwhelming force subdued first Dialga and then Palkia. My conquest is far from over, though. There are many more Pokémon to catch. Now, however, I’m here to take your title from you. I need the perks of being the Champion.”
Cynthia sighed and shook her head. “Very well. As the Pokémon League Champion and the most powerful Trainer, I will accept your challenge.”
A wicked gleam shone in the boy’s eyes as he unhooked a purple-and-white sphere from his belt. He pushed a button and it enlarged. “Go, Giratina,” he said, a grin to match the evil glow in his eyes appearing on his face.
With a ferocious roar, the Renegade Pokémon appeared. Its body was serpentine, gray with red and black rings around it. Golden spikes decorated its sides, looking more like ribs higher up its body. From its back extended six tentacle-like ‘arms’, each with a red spike at the end. Its head was decorated with a golden crest, which protected its small red eyes, ever glowing with malevolence.
Cynthia gasped in disbelief. “That’s Giratina’s Origin Forme! It shouldn’t be in that form outside of the Distortion World…”
Again, the boy chuckled darkly. “The Distortion World had a nice little trinket in it, allowing Giratina to stay in its Origin Forme. I would have been a fool to tell you about that, seeing how it greatly strengthens this already fearsome creature. You would have taken it from me. But enough talk. Bring out your Pokémon, and let the battle begin.”
Cynthia nodded quietly. “Go, Spiritomb. Let’s fight together until the end.”
Spiritomb, a Pokémon that looked like a rock with an energy vortex above it, appeared in a flash of white light. In the purple energy vortex whirled green dots, and in the center a face with one spiraled eye and a cruel grin was discernible.
“Giratina, use Shadow Force. We’re ending this quickly,” the boy said.
Giratina dove into the floor and melted into the shadows. The battle had begun.
