This world is inhabited by creatures that we call pokemon. People and pokemon live together by supporting each other, but now the scourge threatens the safety of the entire region. Kohaku has become a dangerous place, where children stay at home and only brave souls go adventuring.
Welcome to KOHAKU. Come for the nightmares. Stay for the tea and crumpets.
The season is SUMMER. It is easy for survivors to forage for food from the land, as there are entire abandoned farms ready for harvest. On the downside, you can smell the corpses.

GRAND OPENING !
Welcome to KOHAKU REGION's grand opening! If you're interested in joining, come check out our grand opening giveaway!
this time, both amdusias and ose are infinitely more weary of the vespiquen; although the magneton seems to be fine with the bug queen's amicability this session, delilah almost laughs at the claydol's clear discomfort.
again, however, the battle isn't anything incredibly intense. unlike her fighters (or even her dragons), none of them seem to ever get incredibly riled while fighting. there are really no surprises -- no sudden attack orders from the vespiquen -- and the training day ends with amdusias as the winner.
she returns her pokemon to their pokeballs for some well-deserved rest.
(training: vespiquen, magneton, claydol. team: scraggy, meditite, swablu. this is yesterday's session, but i wasn't home to post it.)
it's zagan's first time at the training center, and it's clear that he's nervous; the seahorse glubs nervously under the water as he views the two much larger pokemon hovering above him.
delilah wishes she could communicate with zagan, but she instead settles for a comforting pat on the head careful to avoid his toxic spines. "you'll do fine," she says reassuringly.
she gives him one final pat before retreating behind the glass wall. go easier on him. not too easy, though.
delilah casually paints her nails, covering the cracked, brown surfaces with a shiny layer of black. what d'you think, bael? the woman asks, holding her fingers in front of her.
the spares a moment to roll his eyes before yelping as purple flames lick at his fur.
the woman chuckles. you can do it, phenex, she encourages. the one of his three heads roars as the other two attack the pokemon around him. (getting stuck against an ice type and a fighting type -- phenex swears delilah plans it so he'll lose.)
(every time.)
the trainer smirks at the thought, then returns to painting her nails.
now it's bael's turn to be outnumbered -- the two fire types are clearly ready to beat the arceus out of the fox pokemon. is this because i didn't like your nail polish? he retorts, dodging yet another blaze of fire ready to burn his fur off.
delilah laughs. "of course not," she chuckles. "it's just funny."
the lucario can't even spare an exasperated glare when the camerupt charges him, the chandelure circling around to get his back. "watch out," she says casually. "they're not as weak as they used to be."
it was a clash of attacks from every direction; electricity hung like a cloud in the air while a jet of water attempted to douse the vicious dragon. delilah saw the seadra's attempts to keep up with the other two stronger, more experienced pokemon and sighed.
zagan was working hard, but perhaps not hard enough.
the magneton's attacks were almost ineffective against the garchomp, and the same for the risen steel pokemon -- so they both turned their attacks toward the seadra.
zagan didn't stand a chance. (but delilah was proud nonetheless.)
as terrified as the breloom is of the poliwrath, he's infinitely more scared of the aggressive dragon snarling in his face. delilah chuckles as the two fighting-types team up to take down the garchomp, who has taken to throwing branches and stones while angry.
you might want to stop terrorizing them, delilah snickers. they don't seem to like it very much. the woman recieves a scathing shut up in response -- paimon is and always will be the best, so there's no need for her to cooperate with inferior beings.
of course, said inferior beings ended up still standing while the garchomp lay winded on the ground, and delilah only shook her head.
if only paimon knew how to play nice.
(training: breloom, poliwrath, garchomp. in team: houndoom, roserade, blaziken. date: june 19th)
round two of the berith-eligos tag team, and delilah has to admit that they work surprisingly well together. she reclines in her chair, alcohol in hand, and waves through the glass at her garchomp. still not going to listen to me? she asks, taking a drink. you're going to get your ass kicked, paimon. again.
the dragon snarls, attempting to dodge the onslaught of attacks, before begrudingly lowering her claws. the duo opposite her pause in confusion. see? it's not so ba -- oh arceus.
the arena explodes in a maelstrom of purple flames, and delilah shakes her head. that wasn't quite what she had in mind.
(training: breloom, poliwrath, garchomp. in team: houndoom, roserade, blaziken. date: june 22nd)
this time, the garchomp isn't nearly as outmatched. unlike the previous two-on-one, today's training session was more of a grand, all-out free-for-all. razor-sharp leaves sliced into anything they came into contact with, and -- to delilah's surprise -- it seemed as if sitri-the-crybaby had the upper hand out of all three.
at least, until the other two realized there was no point in fighting each other and turned their attentions to the poor roserade. (it was like poor zagan all over again, although sitri put up more of a fight.)
in the end, only the magneton remained standing -- sitri was knocked out, and paimon had the luck to get a toxic to the face a few rounds earlier.
(training: garchomp, roserade, magneton. in team: breloom, poliwrath, houndoom.)
this session, unlike her last, isn't full of pokemon with too much attitude -- the closest would be valefor, with her queen complex, but the other two are the epitome of uncaring.
delilah watches the fight with boredom. (without rampaging dragons or sassy fighters, there's really nothing for her to see.)
someone win already, the woman sighs. then we can all go and eat or something.
training: claydol, vespiquen, magneton. in team: roserade, dragonite, houndoom.
