A/N: Hey guys! Just a little quick thing that I jotted down for my new story that I'll be writing at the same time as the next book in the Chronicles of Fate. I was actually playing around with this idea for a few weeks before I finally decided to write the prologue for it. If you like it, please review. If I get enough people who like the idea, then I might actually try to have some chapters posted up before Robotics is over. And yes, the summary doesn't lie. I am using my own name, but the last name is just made up. Anyway, onto the story!
Oh, and the general disclaimer. I no own Pokemon. There. Happy?
Outcasts Rising
Prologue
Fear. One simple four letter word. Yet it means so much. In the dictionary, fear is defined as "a feeling of alarm or disquiet caused by the expectation of danger, pain, disaster, or the like". But that isn't all that fear is. Fear isn't just a feeling. Fear is so much more.
Fear is a spark to so many other things than just feelings of alarm. Fear can spark so many things. It can start a lifelong hatred of something. It can start a downward spiral of someone's life. It can cause so much damage to anyone's life that it's almost impossible to fix.
It can end just as many things. Someone's life may end because they can't take the constant fear that they live in. It can cause the end of a civilization. It may even be the end of an entire species of beings.
But despite the many evils that breed from fear, there is one good thing that rises from fear. Fear can present people with a challenge. It can give them the reason to rise up and fight for something. It can be one of the greatest motivators of change.
And that's how our story will begin. It begins with one man's fear that came from a major traumatic event. Fear that sparked the demise of most of the entire race of what was once a loved and respected race of creatures. Fear that motivated him to cause it.
And it was that now worldwide fear and hatred of said beings that sparked the fire in the heart of one teenage outcast. He was one who saw these creatures and knew that they were being misjudged. One who just knew that this race of beings wasn't to be feared, but respected. One who looked to the past and took from it something that nobody else could.
This is the story of the outcast who rose up out of nowhere and challenged the great beast known as fear.
