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 !

You know what? Pal Park used to be a really cool place. Way cooler than the gardens. Felizia could easily remember what it looked like back when she was a kid. Back when her parents would bring her here to look at all the Pokemon—
No, no. Felizia kicked the ground. She was absolutely not going to do the whole remembering thing. The remembering thing sucked.
Suddenly she heard a growl come from her Ursaring and looked at the Pokemon. Ursa did not look happy, and Felizia immediately guessed why. After all, what was that one thing Pal Park had in plenty at the moment? Yeah. That’s right. Scourge.
The bloody Scourge.
Felizia walked away from her Ursaring to give her some room, looking around them as she did. Any moment now…
Trainer after trainer after trainer. Rapture was getting quite tired of them -- why couldn't they leave Pal Park well enough alone? -- but the camerupt was nothing if not dutiful. Cameron placed a hand on the pokemon's nose, patting him gently, before taking out her styler.
She adjusted the white mask over her face, tucking her red scarf in her pocket. It was time.
RAPTURE | LV 45 (55) GROWL | EARTHQUAKE | ERUPTION | YAWN | EARTH POWER ROCK SLIDE | HEAT WAVE | SCARY FACE | ROCK POLISH
cameron drew groudon sign (sunny day) camerupt used eruption (base power: 150) camerupt used earth power camerupt used yawn camerupt used rock polish
The exact same could be said about the scourge. Scourge after scourge after scourge – why couldn’t they just go and jump off a cliff instead of running people out of their homes?
None of this crossed Felizia’s mind at all though, as she was too busy staring at the first scourge Pokemon she had ever seen. She was so awed by the sight of what one of the bloody things looked like (all dark and gloomy with creepy eyes that –wait, were they hollowed out?) that she almost didn’t notice the masked person next to the scourge Pokemon. The one with the styler.
No one had given her the memo about the agents, but Felizia already knew that the guy was not going to be an ally, let alone a friend.
LV 50 scary face | agility | crunch | chip away | thrash | hydro pump | scald
Ursaring dodged Eruption because holy mother of— Ursaring hit by Earth Power and Yawn. Ursaring used Slash. Ursaring fell asleep. (Bulba said the Pokemon falls asleep after their turn, so...)
Oh shit, this was not going to be a walk in the park. (Heh, park). Ursa clearly needed some back up.
Felizia sent out Feraligatr. Feraligatr used Scald. Feraligatr used Agility.
tuyet (omg it's you again. stalker.) (did i do this right? lemme know if i derped, 'kay?)
A ... feraligatr. She could hear Rapture's snort of displeasure, but her eyes were instead trained on the human girl. Wide-eyed and awed.
(Was this what Eos had been reduced to?) She took no small amount of contentment (because 'happy' was never a word used to describe Cameron) from that fact.
camerupt dodged scald camerupt dodged slash camerupt used eruption on ursaring and feraligatr (150) camerupt used earthquake on ursaring and feraligatr camerupt used growl on ursaring and feraligatr
cameron drew heatran sign (magma storm) on ursaring
(what can i say? i like causing you pain hah. by the way, i would suggest tossing out as many pokemon to take down the camerupt as quickly as possible; same applies to most scourge, actually. it can only dodge so much. focus-firing does wonders.
... also, the ursaring falls asleep at the end of the next turn, haha.)
How did Cameron expect someone to react to first seeing a scourge Pokemon? At least Felizia wasn’t some sissy who was running away with her hands in the air.
The silence of her opponent was kind of intimidating, in an entirely different way to the Camerupt of course. What was this guy? A robot? A puppet? He hid his face, so maybe he had some really ugly, nasty-looking scars. Or maybe he had no mouth, or a sewn up one like in the movies.
Maybe he was a zombie too.
(Well, Felizia had to think of something to make herself feel a little better about this hellhole of a situation.)
LV 50 scary face | agility | crunch | chip away | thrash | hydro pump | scald
LV 56 yawn | rain dance | mist | slam | muddy water | earthquake | double kick
Ursaring hit by Eruption, Earthquake, Growl and Magma Storm. Nevermind sleep 'cause Ursaring is down and out omg. Felizia returned Ursaring.
"Overkill, much?!" Holy hell that had been a lot of damage. It was clear to Felizia that she'd have to make a dash to the nearest Pokemon Centre (and where was that anyway?) as soon as this was over. Assuming there would even be an over that would let her.
Feraligatr dodged Earthquake. Feraligatr hit by Eruption and Growl. Feralligatr used Scary Face.
Felizia sent out Exploud and Quagsire. Exploud used Supersonic. Exploud used Uproar. Quagsire used Mist. Quagsire used Muddy Water.
(Ah I see. Let's see how three works. I'm also banking on the type advantage haha ((yay eruption doesn't seem so terrifying anymore)))
