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.

A warm breeze played against her exposed skin, the faded shorts and old tank top fluttered in that air, the strong smell of salt reminded her of home. Gliding beside her on the breeze was Volts, her new partner a playful emolga. He was enjoying the breeze and used them to glide around in silly circles. The smell of sea salt brought a wave of emotions onto Allie. Trying not to give into those memories she felt herself tighten her grip on her backpack, Volt sensing his trainer's distress stopped and jumped onto her back, rubbing his head against her cheek. "Em Emolga"<Why you sad?" He chirped toward her, but Allie simply shrugged her other shoulder not wanting to go into great detail in fear she'd let out all her emotions.
Her worn down shoes scrapped the old wood of the dock, Volt sensing he wasn't going to get an answer glided off of her shoulder and out toward the dock. It took Allie a moment to realize she was in a more deserted part of the dock, Volt came back to her chatter but Allie wasn't paying close enough attention to understand him. However she did like the seclusion the dock gave her and while she ought to be looking for her sister, Allie simply just wanted a moment to be alone even if was avoiding her task.
The Barboach wriggled about in the Tentacool's grasp. This was no use at all. If the jellyfish Pokémon didn't let go of him soon, he was quite convinced that he'd be Tentacool-chow in no time. The Barboach floundered about, shooting a Mud Slap in the Tentacool's face, slapping the jellyfish in the face with a slimy tail. The blue Pokémon merely laughed sinisterly at the Barboach's attempts to free himself. Of course, ground-type moves would not be very effective against another water Pokémon, so the Tentacool found the mudfish Pokémon rather foolish.
The Tentacool used its free appendage to sting the Barboach with venom. It wriggled about, screeching in pain, hoping that a passerby would be kind enough to aid it.
Volts noticed the fight going on before Allie, but the screech that rattled against the dock was what sent her running toward the battle going on. The barboarch thrashed against a Tentacool, it was surely not going to send well for the little water dual type. Volts didn't need any persuading just a simple nod of Allie's head had him gliding down to the fight, Allie followed just a few feet behind, discarding her bag to get her into battle mode.
Volts jumped around the tentacool seemed very focused on it's prey, while Allie understood natural selection and the food chain, Allie couldn't bare it to let hims suffer there even if the tenatacool was hungry. "Volts no messing around we got business." Volts didn't answer instead he nodded his head and moved closer to the Tentacool, keeping just out of arms length in case he was seen as a meal. "Alright Volts thundershock!" Allie called out, Emolga jumped and soared over the sruggling duo sending thundershocks onto both of them as he passed over.
Luckily, for the little Barboach, he was entirely immune to electric-type attacks. The electricity washed over the mudfish's body harmlessly. On the other hand, the Tentacool was not so lucky. The static shocks pulsed through its body, causing the creature to immediately drop its dinner into the water. The jellyfish Pokémon glared at the Emolga above. Thanks to the Pokémon, it had lost its lunch. So the Tentacool, with a very irritated expression, aimed a Supersonic attack at the Emolga. How dare it snatch its food away (not that the Emolga had actually stolen the Barboach from him, but it may as well have done so)! He opens his mouth, and sprays an Acid attack at Volts too.
The Barboach shook its head about, and while he had a feeling that he should had swum away immediately, he could not leave the Emolga to fight the Tentacool alone. The brave little mudfish Pokémon swerved in a U, leaping out of the water. It turned in the air, slapping at the Tentacool with a Flail attack.

[ I'm new to battling like this to let me know if I mess up]
Allie winced even if Volts' attack was intended she couldn't help but feel a little bad for the tentacool, such a attack would be very powerful against him since Volts held the type advantage. She expected the tentacool to slip away nurse it's wounds else where but that was not the case. It had spunk and Allie felt obligated to give it credit, but she knew that it would be a challenge to defeat but she liked the challenge.
Volts was prepared for the tentacool to attack but ill prepared for the acid to burn against his tail. With a yelp of surprise he jumped back, landing in the water for a moment, the change from land to water left him stunned, and that left him open for the supersonic to whirl in his ears.
Volt's vision became blurry as he tried to focus on the tentacool, he was able to barely notice the barboach jump out of the water flail about against the tentacool, all the while Allie watched this she thought of waves to handle this battle. "Volts try and focus, quick attack!". Volts heard her voice but still struggled with the task but he was able to head off in some general direction, if it was going toward Tentacool he wasn't sure.
The Tentacool watched cooly as Volts went sailing off in the opposite direction. The Pokémon chuckled to itself, waving its tentacles in the air with victory. As long as the Emolga was confused, he supposed, it didn't pose much of a threat. So the Pokémon whipped an appendage out, curling the tentacle around the Barboach's body. The Pokémon flailed about in a vain attempt to free itself, but the Tentacool only squeezed harder, bathing the creature in another one of its Acid attacks. The Barboach flailed about again, whacking the Tentacool in the face with its slimy tail.

(No worries. Your Emolga, er, hits itself in the next post.
"At the end of each turn, you roll a die. Under 50 and the condition ends. Over 50, and the condition continues. If you fail, and you rolled an ODD number, you hit yourself. If you rolled EVEN, you have one move to use as you wish.")
Allie grunted as Volts crashed into the sand but she wasn't going to give up. Feeling like a warrior woman, she kept her attention in the battle, determined to defeat the cocky tentacool. It was one thing to defend itself it's behavior annoyed Allie, cockiness was strike one toward her destroying this pokemon's ego. Volts staggered and regained his foot, sore but still able to pay attention, barely. The barboach on the other hand had some spunk that Allie was happy to see, it didn't give up even if it was going to cost his skin.
"Volts, thundershock lets beat this jerk" Allie shouted out as Volts steadied himself on shakey legs, before running toward tentacool, well in it's general direction, his cheeks ablaze with sparks of electricity ready to make contact and shock the daylights out of the pokemon.
The Tentacool thrashed about as the electricity coursed through its body again. It wasn't feeling particularly happy about encountering a meal anymore. Why was it always so difficult to find a decent meal? Still, the Tentacool isn't about to give up quite yet. He squirts another Acid at the Emolga, though the squirt wasn't very strong. In fact, its trajectory was too low, so it went shooting too high and came back down to splatter all over the Tentacool.
The tentacool looked defeated, but the fact that it was still trying to attack Volts ketp Allie on edge. Eyeing Volts she took measure how his health, he wasn't confused any longer but his limbs were shaky yet a fire remained in his eyes, he wasn't going to give up. The acid that fell onto the tentacool had them both stuck in battle mode, not wanting to leave with the tentacool still a threat even if it was minimal, Allie gave a final order.
"Volts, Quick Attack finish him off" Volts didn't hesitate and ran right for the tentacool, ready to make contact.
The Emolga's body slammed into the Tentacool, and despite the size difference, it sent the jellyfish Pokémon sailing back a few feet. It flopped on the surface of the water, bubbling down underwater with a limp body. Of course, it would be alive and kicking later on, but not after some major rest. It wasn't long before the Tentacool had been swallowed up by the dark depths of the waters.
The Barboach was weary from tussling with the Tentacool, but it did not forget its manners. The Pokémon swam closer to the docks, head bobbing above the water. He let out a "Barboach, bar, barboach!" and there was a wide grin that had spread across his face. The Pokémon's eyes shone with admiration at the Emolga's courage.
Allie jumped in joy before hurrying over to Volts, kicking off her worn out shoes in the process of hurrying over to crouch in the water with Volts and their new acquainted friend. Allie gave Volts a love pat before scooping him up into her arms and snuggling with the little electric type. He nuzzles her giving little bits of sparks against her cheek, but couldn't help the yawn.
Looking down together they smiled in sync toward the pokemon in front of them. "You did really good little guy, showed your stuff." Allie cooed as she went down to stroke the fins of the barboach, it was a cute pokeon in a kind of ugly way, but he carried a nice kind of spunk she admired pokemon. "Em Em Emolga ga"<You should come with us. You can become really strong> Volts was a chatter box and despite the lack of full understanding of Allie's part. She had a feeling that Volts wanted the little dual type to join them she didn't mind after all they worked pretty well as a team.
The Barboach bobbed up and down in the water with the tide. He swelled with pride as Allie petted his head. He splashed a bit, excitedly, and swam a little closer to the dock. "Baaaar, barboach baaar!" the Pokémon cried out. <R-really? Go with you?> The Barboach had never been happier, mostly due to the fact that he was usually neglected by the other humans. That wasn't always a bad thing. There were bad trainers in the world too, trainers who wanted to harm him. He didn't think that Allie was a malevolent person though.
Allie smiled, figuring that the barboach was very excited to be joining her, turning back she jogged over to her backpack, picked it up and returned to the two pokemon and begun to dig into her bag until a pokeball in it's smaller form was in her hand. With a warm smile she clicked the center and as it grew she stood up. Tossing the pokeball toward the pokemon, it took him in the pokeball and bobbed back and forth a little while until it beamed that the barboach was captured.
"I'm going to name you Brave." She spoke to the pokemon within the capsule, Volts nodding in approval before jumping onto her back as Allie returned the pokeball to her belt, a sense of pride in her growing team.
