A/N: I always felt sorry for Magikarp. The poor fish is never accepted by anyone, not even the Pokedex, which once even called it "a pathetic excuse for a Pokemon". What, now all Pokemon have to be strong, lest they be ostracized from society? That makes the Pokedex writers seem like they just don't care. Anyway, this story is dedicated to the Pokemon world's most underrated creature.

Lady Lilane: Unfortunately.

Someday
Chapter 1: Believe
"Get out of our lake, you stupid fish!"
"You can't even fight? You're just a wimp!"
"I can't believe Mew actually thought you would be worth creating!"
I hear those words every day of my life. At least, that's how it's been ever since the other fish, myself included, migrated to this lake. It's times like this that make me wish I was at the old lake and not this one. It may be lonely there, but at least no one will hurt me...
Then again, when you're a Magikarp like I am, life is always lonely. Nature becomes your only true friend, as the other Pokemon consider you weak. Those who are your friends are just as weak as you are. The humans just don't care, and some even play a role in hurting you.
"Hey, shrimp!" a voice calls out to me. This voice belongs to Poliwrath, the worst of the bullies in my opinion. He surpasses me in every way possible, from his strength and speed to the number of types he has and the number of characters he has in his name. Despite his supremacy, I glare at him.
"My name is Bones!" I shout. I had earned this nickname through my fascination with skeletons and fossils. "If you want to fight me, I say let's get this over with!"
Poliwrath just laughs this threat off. "I won't even bother, since you're such a pushover!" With that, he swims away, leaving me alone to collect my thoughts.
He says I'm a pushover. He's saying I'm not strong enough.
I don't know how, but one day, I will become stronger.
All I have to do is believe.
A/N: Yes, it was a short chapter. Trust me, more chapters will come. BTW, in my logic, Arceus created the Pokemon world and some of the legendary Pokemon, while Mew created the rest of the Pokemon.
