HELP: How to Start a Story

[LightningTopaz]

So I'm writing a modern Pokemon theater story (inspired by new theater anime World Dai Star), and I already have a prologue written up that explains how Ash and the gang (plus Nemona, Juliana, and many more excited volunteers) found the enchanted theater that they end up (by the end of the story) making famous around the Pokeworld. Should I begin the story by simply elaborating on the prologue in more detail, or leave the prologue as is, and just jump into the story?

You know, that's a good question. Since you've already basically explained the plot, it would be probably the better way to go to just jump into the story, it makes more sense, and it doesn't make the prologue feel dragged on. But that's my opinion on the matter. Starting stories are hard lmao
