ABUSORU::SORROW

Prologue: Chika/Absol

Watching. Waiting. It’s all I seem to do lately. I can see them all below, happily playing with their trainers, and above, there’s me, just sitting on the edge of the cliff that overlooks Kisaki Town. They’re all there; all those I’ve seen playing before. Even the old man and woman who spend most of there time up here, making medicines, and the younger children, not old enough to have their own Pokemon yet. I don’t know what they’re celebrating, lights and streamers hang low over every building, adding colour to the town known best for being grey. There’s nothing special about Kisaki Town that other towns and cities have. Of course, I’d only been away from Kisaki once, but the images on discarded magazines gave me enough of an idea what the rest of the world had. Kisaki was always quiet, one of two towns on the island, Besacha Island. I’d never left the island, I was born here, and most likely to die here. Death. That’s what most people fear above all else, whether it be their own deaths or the deaths of others around them. For me, I was feared. Feared because I supposedly represent death and other ill omens. My kind are feared, it’s always been this way, and I don't think it's ever likely to change. I may be wrong, everyone is wrong at one stage. But for me, that would be a first.
