Hello everyone, and welcome to my school stor- no, no wait! Please come back! I promise it'll be good! (so just don't hit that back button...)
Um, that aside (XD), welcome to Our Tragic Tale of Heart and Soul in which are characters are yes placed into a school background but you'll quickly find that something is wrong with this place…especially with the thirteen students who have coincidentally come together. Hearts will be trialled, bonds will be shattered, souls will be fragmented, and everyone might find that there is more than what just meets the eye. After all,t doesn't take a genius to figure that out, after all the strange happenings that seem to circulate around the place known as Pokemon Lover's High…and it's not just the fact that nearly everyone there is a fan of Pokemon….
Basically, this idea was started by my friend's suggestion last year and catapulted into an even larger conspiracy theory that somehow ended up as a story. It kind of became my own idea ever since, and the details have been swirling in my head, inspired by other fan fictions like MAGE by KiwiWizard and Double Life by Kaith1.
And, let me tell you, this story is more than just an average story of breaking hearts and high school bullies…no, this's something larger, something on the level of an enigma.
Gosh, now doesn't that just sound exciting, XD? If you're already intrigued than I hope you'll just love what's soon to come…
Oh and I know that I still have Gods to work on as well, but this will be just another project that I'll be working on for entertainment, just because I find that this story is practically begging to be written.
Now, onto the story!
Disclaimer: If I owned Pokemon, then we'd already have a true MMO roleplaying game for the whole world to play (and, no, this doesn't include PokeMMO).

Prologue
"Run, Sapphire, run!"
Two figures dashed through a forest of pine trees, their shadows dancing in front of them as the light of fire was extended. Heat was stroking their backs, tiring them out as they ran. From behind them, the noises of wild animals were heard, roaring and bellowing defiantly. A rush of wind soon followed, along with the cackles of something supernatural.
Not that they cared. No, their thoughts were occupied with something more. Flashes of multiple people were going through their minds all at once, along with a whisper of despair and regret that demanded that they both stop acting like cowards and return to the place they were running from. Sapphire didn't want to acknowledge that voice even if she secretly knew that ignoring it would get her no where.
I don't want to end up like her, Sapphire shuddered in horror as she hopped over a log, remembering a pale face maimed by fire, blue eyes glazed over with tears. That'd be a horrible death to face.
The boy beside her seemed to notice the look of fear on her face and he fell in alongside her, looking concerned. "Sapphire, is something wrong?"
She didn't answer at first. The voice was still ringing in her head, calling her a coward and a worthless friend, labeling her as a traitor to both her seniors and juniors. If she continued to run away, the voice would persist forever, and she'd be stuck dealing with the regret and guilt of leaving her friends behind. Sapphire pulled to a halt, panting heavily as her eyes flared with determination. The voice was right. She shouldn't be running away.
"Of course everything's wrong! We're practically abandonin' our friends and, for what? Because we simply can't face a single death? It wasn't our fault that senior Blue died in the first place, it was their fault! We wanted nothing to do with this! We," she couldn't stop the tears from falling from her eyes, "we need to go back. Ruby, I don't want to leave 'em behind. They were our friends, our seniors and juniors, and they were our-"
"Don't say it," the boy in the white cap snapped. "We're not that. No matter what anyone else says, no matter what those guys claim, I refuse to believe such nonsense. All I wanted was to hang out at school, gain a normal education, and then grow up to become someone that everyone would know and love. Now I don't know who I am. I don't care if our pasts were all dark or all happy, I want my life to stay the way it was! We can't save them now. They're gone, Sapphire. They're all gone."
"They can't be!" she shouted, fists clenched. "I refuse to believe it! I want to go back. They might still be alive, Ruby, whether you like it or not!"
Ruby grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard. "Sapphire, the school is burning. Those mad men are murdering anyone who dares to escape. Plus, they have those...things on their side, rampaging the school grounds with unrealistic abilities. We were only able thanks to that tunnel that you had found, but now it's blocked! They don't stand a chance against those people, no matter what power they might have had before. Face it, they're all dead!"
The brown-haired girl flinched at his words, knowing full well that there was, indeed, truth in those very words. But the voice throbbing in her mind wouldn't allow her to dwell on such thoughts. Rubbing the tears from her face, she glared at the boy. "I don't care if they're all dead! We're actin' like cowards! All we're doing is runnin' away when our seniors and juniors could desperately be needin' our help."
Something cold and unfriendly flickered in Ruby's crimson eyes. "Fine then. Go. See how I care." He began to walk off, hands tightened into fists.
Sapphire watched him go, baffled by his sudden change in attitude but also startled with the coldness that he had addressed her with. We were friends once, she thought sadly, watching as he disappeared into the darkness and out of the light. And probably more, too. But, ever since that happened, nothing has ever been the same. Regret swelled within her but she knew she was needed elsewhere. Turning to look at the burning building that illuminated the woods, she jumped onto a tree branch and began to make her way back to her starting point.
Seniors, juniors, I'm gonna save you all! Just wait!

Short prologue is short, but hopefully it provides you with an air of suspense, frosted by a huge dose of mystery :D
I promise you that the next chapter will be even bigger though, and that's where our story will truly start! Mystery, romance, suspense…everything to keep you on edge! Although the first few chapters may seem a bit dull at first (but not for shippers :D), believe me, you'll find that the story accelerates with every chapter, providing a deeper depth to the story.
Just wait 'till next time for the story to truly get started, but don't forget to hit that review button on the way out~
