                   Katherine's P.O.V.
                          *******

I woke up from my dream, her voice still ringing in my ears.

"You are the unknown hero, Katherine."

No. I'm no hero! There's seems to be a mistake. What did Arceus see in me? I can't be a hero. I couldn't. I wouldn't. I looked up to the sky and saw a full moon. It was late at night, I'm awake, and legendaries call me a hero.

Hero...

The word was bugging me. I couldn't sleep. I mean-when was the last time you saw a sixteen-year old become a hero? I knew I read these from books, but this is real life. This... could all be a dream. But no.

"Dark Pokemon, even the dark soul itself will come after you."

"The prophecy is all about you."

"He's here."

Stop it! I'm not a hero! I said, mentally cursing at myself.

"Katherine."

Startled, I turned around and saw no one. Am I going nuts or something?

"You're not going 'nuts', child."

"Palkia?" I asked.

"Hush... I'm speaking towards you with telepathy. You can speak with your mind."

"Sorry..."

"I heard you were troubled. You still  can't believe you're the hero,don't you?"

Oh crap. This is embarassing.

"Well... I-"

"I understand. But explain why you are so bold and brave then during the time that Dark Nidoking attacked. Those are the common traits of a hero, you know."

"N-No it isn't! It's just-that-I-"

"You have to admit you're a heroic person, Katherine. I now see what Arceus saw in you. Even Akael-Mewtwo, saw it in you too."

"Wait, did you say-you got nicknames?"

"W-we,all right. We got nicknames,but we prefer humans to call us by our Pokemon names. That is, well... something you need to know."

"What's yours then?"

"My name's Irazi. As you know, Akael is Mewtwo, Timinium as Dialga, and Sulu is Entei, Jetstream is Suicune, Electron is Raikou, Himoto is Terrakion, Steele is Cobalion, Asper is Virizion, Sultanne is Keldeo, Terrallia as Xerneas, Orion is Yveltal, Skylon is Reshiram, and finally, Doxium, is Zekrom."

"Are there more of the legendaries out there?"

"Yes, but most of them prefer to be called by their Pokemon names."

Oh... So this proves legendaries are like us...

"Go to sleep now child. You still have someone to recruit in your rescue team tommorow. Good night."

"Good night, Irazi."

I yawned, feeling very sleepy indeed. I need some sleep!

------------------Next morning---------------------

I covered my eyes with a blanket when the sunlight hit my eyelids. I yawned lazily and got up for the day, stretching
my limbs in puppy style. Too bad I can't use my old method though.
