Huge outburst of sympathy for Kate last chapter. So proud of you guys for feeling emotions for our characters! Super sweet!
Anyways, I'll be introducing two more legendaries this chapter (Spoiler!) that I happen to like a lot! Hope you read, review and enjoy!

"Hey Kate! Kate! Helllooooo? Katia?"
Katia…Kate hated being called that. She growled as she woke up. Another legendary pokemon? As honoring as it was, why did they make it a habit to wake her up at night?
"Come meet me on the roof! By that Tree of…what was it? Harmony or something?"
"I told you not to call her yet! She needs her sleep!"
"But I can't wait till morning!"
"Yes you can. Kate, go back to sleep."
"Kate, wake up!"
Ok there was no way Kate would get any peace without checking it out. But two voices? This was different than the usual one. Kate got out of bed and slipped out of her room. The base was in deep sleep though it didn't give permission to be careless. Like she had done before, Kate skillfully snuck her way to the rooftop.
"I'm here." Kate said as she reached the bottom of the tree. "Where are you?"
"Here!"
A small cream and red pokemon popped out of the tree branches.
"I'm Victini, the victory pokemon!" He greeted.
"And I…" A light green pokemon flew down. "…am Celebi. We're pleased to meet you Kate, Legend Protector."
"It's nice to meet more pokemon of legend." Kate smiled, knowing about the two from childhood story.
"Wow. You are as nice as shaymin says!" Victini clapped.
"Shaymin? She sent you?" Kate asked.
Shaymin was a lot faster at the tracking than thought. Although if Celebi could just travel to that place at that time anyways.
"She sent for me." Celebi corrected. "But a certain someone overheard the exchange…"
"Hey I have the right to meet her!" Victini huffed.
"Hmmm…" Celebi inspected Kate. "I see you unlocked another gift. Job well done."
"Swimming power, HA." Victini rolled his eyes.
"You're a fire type so you obviously don't like water." Celebi said.
"Hey you're a grass type so I can kick your…" Victini started to threaten.
"Anything about my powers or status as the protector you guys can tell me about?" Kate cut in.
"Well shaymin told you a lot of what I know." Celebi told her. "The powers you have are made to help legends out. At some point in your life, you'll use them all at least once. Stuff like swimming faster, healing…that can be used at any time. But the bigger stuff can only be used once and take a lot to unlock. It varies from legend to legend, depending how its set up."
"I was told that each legend gave me a specific power. Who gave me healing and swimming?" Kate asked.
"Manaphy gave you swimming. And healing? Why that would be mine!" Celebi grinned.
"I have your power?" Kate gasped.
"Wait till you get mine!" Victini butted in. "It's going to be awesome! Oh but according to master, we're not allowed to tell you."
"We were supposed to let the higher-ups tell her about master!" Celebi smacked Victini.
"OW!" Victini rubbed his head.
"So who's master?" Kate questioned.
"….about that…." Celebi and Victini sheepishly rubbed the back of their necks.
Celebi waved her arms, forming glowing lines in the ground. There was some sort of chart that separated into four groups, stacking on top of each other.
"You know that whole level thing? See I'm here." Victini pointed to the box above the bottom. "It's where the medium level pokemon are."
"And I'm right above Victini." Celebi showed.
"Didn't know you had a boastful side…" Victini muttered.
"We're above shaymin, manaphy and meloetta who rank low. At our medium level, we do know a few other pokemon that are the same as us or lower on the chart." Celebi told Kate.
"Like Jirachi. Cool pokemon but parties so hard she ends up sleeping for a thousand years if we let her." Victini said.
"She seems to work a lot more than you though." Celebi rolled her eyes.
"What about that certain someone named Keldeo…" Victini smirked.
"I swear if you don't shut up right now…" Celebi growled, face pink.
"Back to the chart?" Kate sweatdropped.
"Right, right." Celebi shook her head. "But neither of us know who the high-leveled legendaries are with the exception of suicune, their messenger. Their power is strong and reigns over us all though they don't show their faces. And they're hard to track down."
"So if I want more information…" Kate started to piece it together.
"You talk to them." Celebi finished.
"Even then, there might be only one or two that know about the master, who knows everything about Kate." Victini said.
"Master is a powerful pokemon that make the decisions, helps keep the stability of the world in order and pretty much is the most powerful on Earth. And quite possibly the universe." Celebi explained. "Though they don't come out of hiding. It's impossible for anyone who isn't their right-hand man to catch the slightest glimpse."
"You forget we've got the Legends Protector!" Victini cheered. "Kate here will meet the master one day!"
"I suppose she might. But that's a long day away." Celebi said. "Kate, I suggest you just practice your powers and wait for the rest of gifts to come. Keep a look out for pokemon in trouble."
"Sure thing." Kate agreed.
"I have things to tend to at the moment. I'm glad we got to talk and I hope to see you soon! But as the time pokemon, I have forseen some….trouble." Celebi warned.
"Like?" Kate asked.
Hesitation.
"Don't think Dim Sun will be the only problem you'll be dealing with." Celebi sighed.
With that, Celebi vanished into thin air. Gone with the wind.
"Now that buzzkill's gone, how about we hang out?" Victini offered.
"I'd actually like to get some sleep." Kate yawned.
"I'm the pokemon who can give you energy! You won't need sleep!" Victini said.
"Yes but I'd like to anyways." Kate declined.
"Fine." Victini grumbled, erasing the drawings Celebi made earlier. "I might as well catch some z's too. Mind if I room with you?"
"Think you can hide from the other rangers around here?" Kate asked.
"Naturally." Victini disappeared. "Many legends know how to sneak around. And you see I'm no different."
"I'm convinced." Kate giggled. "You seem like a cool pokemon to me."
"Great!" Victini reappeared. "You'll see! I'll make things way interesting!"
(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)
"Kate! Keith! Good morning!"
Kate was met with Murph as they walked through the second floor, some hours later.
"Care for a chocolate macaron?" Murph offered, showing them a box.
"Dessert for breakfast? I'm game!" Keith reached into the box, with Wave grabbing some for him and Chia.
"Life's too short. Eat dessert first." Murph quoted. "Hm? Hey did you guys grab extra? I could've sworn there were more in here…"
Neither of the guys noticed a macaron floating in mid-air. Kate smirked as the treat was nibbled on and devoured.
"These are great!" Victini whispered.
"Oh hey rookies!" Wendy came from the first floor. "Barlow's looking for ya."
"Time to head back." Keith remembered.
"Great to see you again, Wendy." Kate said.
"Same here!" Wendy gave a thumbs up. "Hope to be workin with you sometime!"
Kate hustled downstairs with Keith and the pokemon (including her hidden friend). Barlow was downstairs, waiting for the door. They all left outside and walked the path that led through the woods. Victini was invisible but Kate had a good feel where he was. He was happy to fly around everyone and enjoy the scenery.
"Yoink!" Victini pulled a fast one and pushed Keith.
"Hey!" Keith fell face first into the ground. "What the…?"
"You ok?" Barlow asked.
"Tripped…though it felt like something pushed me." Keith sighed as he got back up.
"Probably the wind. Gets a little strong out here." Barlow guessed.
Victini snickered nearby. Someone was having their fun.
Rummmmbbbblllleeeee!
Just as they reached the cliff area, the ground started shaking. It knocked Kate right off her feet. After a minute, the quaking stopped.
"Is everyone ok?" A middle aged woman raced out of a nearby cottage.
"We're cool." Keith said, helping me up.
"Oh these tremors are giving me heart attacks…" The woman sighed. "Been happening all morning."
"All morning?" Barlow asked.
"Ever since some strangly dressed men and two big pokemon came through here." The lady told them.
That didn't sound too good. Kate was getting the same idea the guys had.
"Thank you ma'am." Barlow turned to Kate and Keith. "Guys, looks like we've got ourselves a mission."

Still dunno what macarons are but they seem tasty! Especially if they're chocolate! Keep a watch out for the next chapter, where we scale Peril Cliffs! Coming up!
