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 !

alia fights the heat with camus, having sent her snover back into his pokeball long ago. she likes to think that travelling in this sort of environment built resistance to all sorts of conditions, but that might have been a stretch for a grass and ice pokemon. the tynamo doesn't look particularly comfortable, but he fares better than freud.
(there's still the other two pokemon strapped to her belt - two pokemon from a mysterious benefactor. alia wonders when the time is ripe to use them)
she pushes sweat from her brow, wishing that she had brought a towel.
WORDS TAGSvertigo NOTES hi this is a wild encounter
the corridor was empty safe for a massive shadow that stretched out towards alia. it was a strange formation, quite unlike the stalactites and stalagmites in the caverns.
...
it stood very much in the way, silent. waiting. arms held high, it stared.
by now, toska is 100% sure that vertigo is doing this on purpose. alia slows down her pace when the firey pit begins to come into view. camus doesn't look like he knows whether he wants to explore or float the fuck out. there's only so much that a land eel can transpire.
camus is caught in sudoboobdo's shadow, and he turns aburpty in its direction. alia pauses to see what her tynamo is looking at, but -
...
"what's a grass type doing here?" alia wonders, bewildered. does it have some sort of natural resistance to the fire and brimstone? she is genuinely intrigued now. "what are you?"
she casually scans it with her pokedex. or as casually as she can with sweaty hands.
WORDS TAGSvertigo NOTESl o l why is sudowoodo such a joke within our circles /sobs
contrary to popular belief, the tit tree was not a grass-type. no, it was not. in fact, its entire body was rock solid. it was a pure rock-type and it allowed itself to be scanned by the pokédex.
had alia been a lesser researcher, she might have been creeped out as hell. alas, she is positively fearless with the unknown. she regrets that she has not advanced far enough in her research to understand it, however.
well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. she takes a few steps towards the creature.
the tynamo is startled at first, but the blow does not come. he continues what he was doing before.
alia doesn't distrub them. just a little more, and maybe the mysterious pokemon will reveal all of its secrets. maybe even the secret of grass-heat-resistance. arceus knows that her snover needs that for sure.
WORDS TAGSvertigo NOTES /throws self off of a bridge
like his trainer, the tynamo doesn't have much patience. he prods, but this time, he adds a bit of thunder wave, hoping for actual answers to the mystery.
WORDS TAGSvertigo NOTES /CONTINUES throwing self off of a bridge
in all effect, it seemed to be frozen in motion, except for the minuscule wiggling at the end of its spherical fruits.
<50 ends paralysis
ok, so it wasn't paralyzed anymore. resuming its squiggly state, it quickly pulled itself back up into a standing position, tit arms held high and poised.
