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.

"Can't I stay where they can never find me? Practise behind the lines of it all. It isn't worth the risk...." She wrung her hands together, picked up her houndour, and put it away.
(count this as a surrender? 1 lvl or me, 2 for you.) tuyet
her fingers twitched, as if about to clench into a fist, but the woman instead knelt down and scratched her houndour behind his ears. it was clear the woman didn't want to fight, and delilah couldn't think of anything to persuade her otherwise. "so what are you planning to do?"

Regina's eyes looked to the upper left hand corner, centering on a stalagmite to the side. The cave was cool. Her voice wavered in the air. "Maybe stick to Nerio. Stick like gum. I'm no trainer."
delilah pressed her lips together. "but ..." the woman sighed. "it's not like i don't know how you feel, but we're all going to have to battle at some point," she insisted. "that's why we have pokemon."

This time, she gave Delilah a look as if she were some sort of brute. "There are far more uses for Pokemon, and it is safest to never to have to resort to them. Especially if they might become infected. Especially if they might become a part of scourge." It was highly contagious.
she ignores the look regina gives her. (as if the woman knows anything.) "and i thought that's why you researchers developed your vaccines," she snapped. "if we just keep away from the scourge, then they'll come to us. what's safest isn't going to be what happens."

"The vaccine doesn't prevent death, and they've stalled in Bellona for a long time. They won't attack me... Not if I can help it." With a vexed expression, the researcher looked back at the trainer, realizing that her mouth had run away from her. She had used Eos to feel safe, to give her immune bodyguards, but she was a citizen at heart. She didn't know how to use pokemon, book-smart through and through. She didn't know how to bring her mob to believe in her, and so, she would never believe in herself. Her throat was held by a sudden dryness. She clawed for her pack and made to depart.
She didn't have to see Delilah again. It was the end of the world. Any reasonable person would be hiding in their basement with a year's supply of canned vegetables, milk, and meat.
delilah's eyes narrowed. "what if they leave bellona? what if they attack here, or proserpina, or juno?" how naive could regina be? her expression darkened when the woman grabbed for her pack, turning away. delilah took a step forward. "are you seriously going to run, regina?" she folded her arms across her chest, scowling. "hide and cower until they find you?"

"It is better than dying!" Regina said back with a defensive bite. The civilian was no trainer. She had not a General's talent in mustering a team for battle. Electricity was the blood she knew, binary sent like morse code through the wires. Regina's breath hitched at the confrontation with the other woman she'd met at the hospital. Was Delilah some sort of Saint to any faith? "There's nothing else left but to hide. To build a wall and hide. How can we possibly win? It's just a matter of lasting long enough to gather what's left and leave this land for good!"
"and go where? you think people are going to just pick up and leave their homes? is there even any place for all of kohaku?" delilah snapped back. "you want us to die like rattata in a cage? do you honestly think we'll last long enough behind a wall for the scourge to get to us? we're humans, not saints -- we'd kill each other first!" the woman clenched her jaw. "you're supposed to be working to find a cure, not running away and betraying everone who's tried to keep us all alive."
her fingers twitched, as if about to clench into a fist, but the woman instead knelt down and scratched her houndour behind his ears. it was clear the woman didn't want to fight, and delilah couldn't think of anything to persuade her otherwise. "so what are you planning to do?"
