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.

alia actually thinks that it's the coolest thing that she can be asleep with her pokemon and still battle against others. what an efficient way to train, she thinks. in time and pokecenter fees.
"alright guys, it's time to earn your keep!"
the tynamo floats lazily in the arena, while the snover's usual nervousness shows. you could probably see a bit of shaking.
"don't be a baby" alia presses. "just think about the big evolved form that you're gonna be after a few nights of this"
Cold. Something chilly runs down his spine, but its not physical, not icy to the touch. Blitzle, on his right, leans its head around him for the third time and nudges zorua's tail with its snout, prompting a hiss from the creature. He keeps walking as the horse shrinks back to its original position.
"Hey." He says, gives a nod and settles down, on the heels of both feet. "It's Jayden." And then, he stares down, glaring at them both with something of a flame in both eyes that zorua turns its snout away from, like its been burned. And he'd say 'do what you want' to it, too, but he knows that it'll do it regardless, so what's the point?
"i hope your pokemon are ready to taste the pavement, kid!"
old habits die hard. the tynamo floats back to nudge the pokedex that had been hastily shoved into her pocket. "oh, right. thanks, camus. hope you don't mind!"
alia dosen't pause. she points the pokedex at the blitzle. there's another entry!
as she points her pokedex at the zorua, she calls out, "camus, use charge beam and thunder wave at the dark pokemon. freud, growth and icy wind at the both of them" lvl 15 - tackle; spark; charge beam; thunder wave lvl 10 - leer, powder snow, razor leaf, icy wind, growth
"Keep flapping those lips, hag. Maybe the pidgey'll take a liking to them for nest purposing." Not a pleasant smile, barely a smile at all as Zorua flips in the air once, soumersalting over the bolts of electricity while brushing ice off its shoulders as it lands a few feet away, little jolts of the stuff flickering over its pelt.
"Flame charge, tail whip." Blitzle, shivering slightly from the thin layer of ice, now bursts into flames, hurtling itself at snover with all that speed and agility its always so boastful of.
the boy's words make alia a whole lot less guilty about pointing the pokedex at his zorua without asking. not that she had a lot of shame about it before.
"dodge the flame charge" alia watches as the snover makes a narrow dive. "retaliate with razor leaf at both" the snover complies.
the tynamo dodges the scratch, preferring to take the tail whip instead. he aims another charge beam at the zorua.
It watches with a deadpan gaze - leaves, cloaked in a layer of electricity that comes hurtling its way. At the last minute, zorua jumps and tumbles out of the way, limbs stiff, but it still has the gal to give its fur a quick groom. He narrows his eyes, not sure if that was a good idea, but its too late for regrets.
"Again." Instead, he turns his attention to blitzle and the creature snaps to attention, letting the leaves graze it as it cloaks itself in flame and charges, head down, a bolt of electricity sounding somewhere in the distance
hp stat boost used flame charge @ snover, thunder wave @ tynamo
but of course, not even freud can run forever. the snover goes flying as the blitzle makes his impact. ouch.
alia recalls him to his pokeball quickly, seeing no point in edging on the snover when he's not even well enough to run for cover. "not too bad, kid"
the fire weakness is tricky. is there a way to be rid of it?
now that he's alone and paralzyed, the tynamo is starting to feel the pressure. "don't mind, camus. we can take these two" by now, it is painfully evident that the blitzle is the greater threat between the two. "get em back with thunder wave!" lvl 15 - tackle; spark; charge beam; thunder wave
Obnoxious. And it's clear that blitzle thinks so too, hooves scraping the ground impatiently as it kicks up dirt and gritty clouds of sand. It doesn't like being paralyzed because it cripples the speed it's so proud of. Jayden narrows his eyes - it's two against one. They can win.
Blitzle closes its eyes, and when they open, its cloaked in flames again, head down. Zorua yawns, in the distance, then springs toward the electric type, claws out and the occasional spark of electricity clipping off its glossy fur.
to be honest, the loss of the snover doesn't worry alia much. the morning after is probably going to hurt like a bitch, but this is still dream world. he'll be fine.
and so will they.
tynamo is hit by scratch tynamo dodges flame charge tynamo uses charge beam on zorua
It tries to dodge again, in its typical, smug manner, jumping loops in the air and landing perfectly on the tips of blue paws. Funny, though, how zorua manages to look like that even when its knocked out cold, and it makes Jayden scowl as he recalls the creature in a bright burst of light.
Blitzle's nostrils flare in excitement as the sparks break free, its body glowing with electricity as it hurtles itself at the opponent.
Blitzle gives a high-pitched noise - he's not sure if it's a squeal or a laugh, at this point - and jumps, rolling off to one side, its head spinning around and hooves skidding hard, kicking up dust, then gives a cry and It frowns, wraps itself in flames, and charges at the tynamo.
