by Misnum

Let the annual Pokégames begin! When 12-year-old Zorua gets chosen as a tribute for the 23rd Pokégames, it is all she can do to survive in the harsh arena. There are killers among them, killers thirsty for the blood of their fellow tributes. Will she survive? Or will she die trying? (Please review!)

2. Prologue

Prologue

It had been 22 years since Arceus created the vicious, bloody Pokégames, where one male tribute and one female tribute between the ages of twelve and seventeen are chosen from each of the fifteen Districts to compete in a fight-to-the-death battle in the arena. Thirty tributes go in. Only one district. Only one tribute survives per Game.

"Let the 23rd annual Pokégames begin!" Arceus bellowed. The Pokémon in the stands cheered for the usual start of the beloved Pokégames.

"As you know, each District will have their annual reaping. District 1 shall be having their reaping tomorrow, and each District the day after, until we have all thirty tributes!" The crowd went wild, excited to know who the tributes of this year's games were.

"And!" Arceus yelled, quickly silencing the crowd. "To those who are the future tributes: may the odds be ever in your favor. Goodnight, and we'll see you tomorrow on location at District 1!"
