Chapter 0 - Prologue
In this world where Humans and Pokemon live hand in hand, they are blessed with many years of peace. Pokemon battles, contests and the like have been taken up as forms of competitive sports for both fun and glory. To defeat the Elite Four and become the Champion or to be the best in their field was a dream sought by many. This was common knowledge. However with two sides to a coin, what we knew was only the glorified and bright surface this world.
On the under side, there are special individuals who have existed since ancient times. They were constantly shunned by society. They are Human, yet they aren't. They are also Pokemon, although not entirely. Change is feared while oddities are despised. In face of something or in this case, someone they don't understand, society took the easy way out and labeled them as Monsters. In the general public's eyes, the term 'Monster' was adequate for some could breathe fire and some could fly. They were an abnormality that no one ever tried to understand. There was little these 'Monsters' could do as well.
Generations have continued living in fear. Each year they prayed for peace. No matter how small or flimsy their hopes were, they desperately clung onto them. Their hopes, faith and sanity…they didn't want to lose any of them. However, these were wishful thinking. Every year their prayers, hopes and faith have been continuously betrayed and trampled on. Their fates were sealed the moment they were exposed - families and friends shunned them. Failing to look past what they were, they were either chased out of the village they were born in or captured to be disposed of. Neither the young nor the old were shown any mercy. Those who retaliated were dealt with. It was an endless cycle of fear.
The reason why you've never heard any of this, is because of the media and the government. They spent a lot of effort and resources into containing these vile cases. In this growing age of peace, it was an attempt to prevent society from falling into chaos or from fear while they dealt with the Monsters. News of them eventually stopped reaching the ears of the public and over the flow of time, they had chosen to forget. These Monsters became nothing more than just a simple rumor or a bedtime tale to scare little kids.
Little did they know, they still lurked in the shadows.
On a large island hidden in a cloak of thick mist far from the shores of any region, these Monsters were gathered and given a second chance at life. This haven where they could live together in peace and away from Humanity's judgmental and condescending eyes, is called Kastyr. Compared to Humans, Pokemon have always been more welcoming towards them. They learnt to live together with the Pokemon there and eventually, towns were built. Their funds and resources were gained from the efforts of the adults who mastered how to blend into Human society. With time, they managed to gain a high rank in their field and it helped with Kastyr's needs. This was all thanks to their savior, Julius. He often traveled around world to search for and help any Hybrid he came across. He is also the principal and founder of the sole pearl cream academic structure that stood out like a sore thumb at the center of the shrouded island. To the outside world it was a prestigious, private school known as Lumen Academy for Gifted Stars or 'LAGS' where prodigies are scouted to attend. LAGS in actuality, was a special school for Humanity's detested Monsters - Rejected beings who are both Human and Pokemon, yet not at the same time.
That's right. These monsters are in fact, Hybrids.
Welcome to Hybrid Academy.
I'M BACK FROM HIBERNATION...maybe. I've had this story developing in my head for months - years so I finally decided to try to stop procrastinating and throw it out. To think I've already fantasied across multiple arcs... Hopefully this will push me to get all my plot bunnies out and done with. That being said, there will be no planned update schedule. All I can assure you of, is the overarching plot of this lengthy story. Follow and review to find out more. :3
