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.

Byte had run off again, not that Aaron really minded. As long as the Porygon-Z stayed out of trouble, the creature could do just as it pleased (and as long as it didn't bother Cameron and Rapture, then all was well). Byte was very good at trying not to cause trouble, anyways. Half the time, the thing didn't realize that it was not, by any means, a canine Pokémon.
Aaron glanced at his wristwatch with a frown. Cameron should have returned by now.
The earth quakes, and he senses that she must have run into trouble along the way. Beeping noises aren't too far off, as Byte comes rushing back to tremble at Aaron's back.
stefan's mouth feels dry, and it isn't from the fear. au contraire, he doesn't feel the adrenaline at all. once upon a time, stefan finley had something to lose.
today, he doesn't. he only has everything to gain.
honchkrow used tailwind honchkrow used faint attack
ugh, did queen really need to come here? of course- doing this job had been scarlet's idea in the first place. pokemon were nasty creatures. the world would simply be a better place without any of them alive. but, even in that glorious thought, the woman did not enjoy walking through the pal park barefoot- there were chunks of flesh on the ground and by now her feet were splattered with blood. and to make it worse, queen was eyeing her 'trainer's' toes like they were chicken nuggets.
scarlet wants a drink, but the entire idea of drinking is soiled by the sight of a scourge porygon-z and two enemy pokemon (both vaccinated). "there's dinner, hun." she orders queen, pointing with her painted nails. there's a moment of silence before the ninetales sees her new enemies. but when she does, a rabid grin appears, and a FLAMETHROWER slips out of her lips, the fire hurtling towards a bisharp.
the ninetales would usually stop there, but she is hungry. desperately sprinting towards the honchkrow, she sends off a CONFUSE RAY.
man, scarlet doesn't even want a drink anymore. that's a new feeling. ZULF ?
looking for a swablu/altaria, if you have one PM me!
Technically, the lost man with four eyes was Aaron's responsibility to drive out, but the Hades Agent also understood the value of teamwork. So Aaron only gives Scarlet and Queen a nod. Bloodthirsty Ninetales, that Pokémon is. Byte is slightly less harmless, only because, as a data Pokémon, he didn't eat as much as her. Still, the Porygon-Z doesn't back away from the fight. Instead, he shudders as the Honchkrow takes a whack at him, but manages to dart out of the way of the Bisharp. Instead, he begins to levitate further off the ground, muscles relaxing, before finally letting loose an electric web on the crow Pokémon.
"Might want to keep your distance," Aaron calls to Scarlet. The Discharge would spread enough electricity to hit the Ninetales if she wasn't careful.

aaron used flying sign on honchkrow flying sign manifested in defog
upon the sight of the ninetales, stefan doesn't even think twice about sending out his new tyranitar, his stone armor new and unabraised. it's a shame that two of his pokemon are mineral based, he thinks. today, he only wants to see blood, and he doesn't particularly care about the source.
he hopes that his pokemon will be able to repay that by tearing through the half-rotten flesh of their enemies. stefan doesn't consider himself particularly sadistic. he only wants to see what is truly worth fighting for in this world.
blood, he thinks, is plenty worth fighting for.

(obviously the track that i'm playing for stefan posts in kamikaze is "blood" by mcr)
the woman balances on one leg as she attempts to put her heels back on- a near-impossible feat. just don't fucking fall, she tells herself, hooking her feet in the shoes. this happens every day- every day since she left nerio. you get out of a tent, you put your clothes on, you walk, you put your shoes on, and then you look for food for the cannibalistic pokemon that is your partner. that's the cycle, and that'll probably be the way things go for a long time. and of course it's fucking terrible. why do you think she drinks?!

Perhaps Aaron should be grateful that Byte's personality doesn't make him as great of a menace as Queen. On the other hand, if the Scourge Pokémon's data stopped hiccuping, he'd be very happy about that as well.

aaron used zekrom sign on defogged honchkrow zekrom sign manifested in fusion bolt
the bolt of electricity roasts the ground until stefan can smell burnt grass every time that he breathes. the electricity missed stefan by mere feet, but he seems almost unconcerned. instead, he walks a few feet to where alexander lies, taking in the injury.
no good. this mistake is his own, and he accepts it.
he recalls the honchkrow, opting to send out the hydreigon instead. gunther roars appreciatively.
dinnertime.
heidi's pokeball wobbles on his belt. stefan ignores it.

Even as a Scourge, Stefan's Pokémon had a good ten to twenty levels ahead of Byte. It's too much for the Porygon-Z to handle. Aaron gives Scarlet a slight nod off to the side before drawing a psychic sign. He knows when it's time to leave from a fight and feels no regret or shame about walking away from the battlefield.
It won't be long before he's back.
porygon-z fainted
aaron used psychic psychic sign manifested in teleport
shit! she thinks, itching her armpit. well, it's probably time to follow suit and get the fuck out of here. queen, you'll have to wait for your dinner. and with another disgusted look at toes- and the ground around them, she ripped out her stylus. (chunks of bright red flesh throbbed on the grass, while blood trailed all over cracked teeth. a pikachu tail was bloody and still, seperated from it's owner.) and the woman and her pokemon disappeared, leaving only a small puddle of scarlet's barf on the ground. that's fucking disgusting, she thought, traveling psychically.
scarlet draws psychic sign scarlet and queen used teleport!
his right hand won't stop shaking, and it's not out of scourge-fear.
he almost lost himself right there, something that would never have happened under the alejandro roof. he needs them - he needs those bastards to rein him in, to pull on his collar like a family dog.
maybe he could have been a better (more civilized) man - haha, what a farce that is. stefan would never have believed for a moment. he shouldn't believe it, not if he has any clarity on who-what he is.
