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 !
Welcome to KOHAKU REGION's grand opening! If you're interested in joining, come check out our grand opening giveaway!
he's trained rigorously for this. hisham will not fail.
he considers the level 16 hawlucha and the level 15 tododile. maybe he should have evolved the tododile first, but he's heard about some gym practice called "scaling" in kohaku. apparently gym leaders all cheat with level 100 pokemon with strength limiter braces. okay. seems legit.
hisham sends out the tododile.
:stotodile: lvl 15 scratch, leer, water gun, rage, bite, scary face, scald, thrash
Jasper clapped his hands together and smiled broadly at the challenger standing across the arena.
"Totodile, totodile, very good," he said. "Classically good choice. There are some who feel it's too obvious, try to get fancy and battle uphill against type advantages, but I've always felt you need a strong foundation in the rules before breaking them. Let's see how this goes!"
Shieldon came out. Shieldon used taunt Shieldon used rock slide
:shieldon: lvl 14 tackle | protect | taunt | metal sound | stealth rock | rock slide toska
"might have been different if it turned out that proserpina's gym leader was a cute girl worth jumping a few hoops for." hisham shrugs with a smirk. "except you're not, so let's get down to business, shall we?" he's here to get a badge before ismael passes out in the library. he isn't here to screw around.

"oh, i'm sure that you have plenty of experience over me." hisham doesn't even have the decency to look embarrassed. people said that the broody look suited him. "i'm sure that you wouldn't mind for a new trainer to catch up"
except he wasn't really a new trainer, just a trainer with some brand spanking new pokemon.
(why does everything i write for this guy sound so gay)

oh, now this was just some repetitive-ass bullshit.
maybe he should have evolved this one after all.
"yes, well." hisham watches the totodile dodge the rocks comedically. his mouth is moving, but his focus is locked into the battle. "seems like you guys could use some. in this library too, come to think of it."

Jasper was wearing the same smile he always wore as the shieldon went down, but it was perhaps lacking a certain amount of wattage. He still clapped, however. "Very well done!"
Archen came out. Archen used double team Archen used quick attack
:sarchen: lvl 17 - HP 100% quick attack | leer | pluck | rock throw | double team | scary face | bite | rock slide toska
this is already taking much longer than he had anticipated. that, and hisham didn't exactly appreciate being patronized. maybe he kind of deserved it, but no man ever got anywhere while being weighed down by thoughts like that. nevertheless, his smile doesn't fade. "you're not bad, yourself."

totodile doesn't look so good. he'll look a lot better after this battle, but not before.
"just imagine that delicious chocolate pokepuff that you've been eating at lunch." he takes on the mythical air of a storyteller. "now imagine snarfing it down after a job well done."
of course, hisham is the one who gets to decide what constitutes as a 'job well done'. loopholes are great like that.
totodile used scary face totodile used scald + torrent ability

Despite his silence during the latter half of the battle, Jasper bustled over with his usual energy to give Hisham his rewards: 1.5k, TM Rock Polish, a Hard Stone and of course, the Fossil Badge itself. "Great job, great job!" Jasper enthused. "The future looks very bright indeed! A splendid young image of both a trainer and a man standing before me--I have the highest hopes for EOS."
His tone was indistinguishable from when he said the same thing to trainers he actually believed it about. toska
hisham smiles graciously, but he cares little for the platitudes of proserpina's gym leader. a year ago, battles were considered an art form. today, it is only a means to an end. jasper as a relic in more ways than he can imagine. hisham finds it to be rather fitting.
he gives a curt nod, receives his items, and rushes back to where he thought ismael would be sitting.
