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.

contrary to thalia's belief, iker wasn't actually looking to get his ass killed out in the scourge territory in a bout of young naivete. since there weren't really many signs to be collecting in nerio, iker resigns himself to training in nerio's gym. so maybe he didn't have a trainer id to show the doormen, but mikhail didn't seem to mind. or maybe he was too swamped with paperwork to actually care. judging from what he heard, that was a very likely possibility.
his electrike eagerly takes down a deino with an ice fang. they couldn't rely on type matchups forever, but any experience was good experience. the only particular thing about nerio's gym is the desperate bets that were conducted before and after every match. as if his victories determined the contents of more than his own wallet.
As strict as he was with Tinkerbell, he was just as strict with himself. He had hurt himself coming out of Di Manes, and when he checked into the ER at a small hospital in Nerio and they wanted to keep him overnight for observations, he just checked out. He didn't have time to be sick.
He was watching a battle in the gym, this was a place he hadn't been in a long time. Clearly the guy was a ranger, which made Xy smile. Whoever said rangers couldn't battle were dead wrong. "Hey kid."
"Wanna battle me next?" He asked. Tinkerbell looked like he was jumping for joy, and so did Xy's poke assist. Even though this was a gym - Xy felt free to challenge him. It wasn't everyday that he saw a decent match. toska
poor kid had no clue what he was about to get into. not that he would have cared much either way. "sure."
the electrike gives a couple of enthusiastic yips.
<we're gonna wreck this guy!>
iker shrugs. whether he won or lost was of little importance to him. the fighting experience would be helpful either way. it's the scourge battles that they couldn't afford to lose, albeit even that train of thought was misleading when one had the psychic sign.
his pokeassist wouldn't be of much use once they left nerio, but denying him the opportunity didn't seem fair.
Xylon wanted to see what his poke assist could do. "Doubles." The pair seemed a bit too enthusiastic, maybe they were having a winning streak.
Tinkerbell and the Dedenne lined up side by side. Tinkerbell was ready to fight on Xy's command. The Dedenne on the other hand was much more excited, less disciplined than the gothorita. "You go first."
iker didn't even know that poison gas hit two enemies at once. huh. that muk is really pulling her own weight.
...he also didn't realize that this was a battle that involved signs and figured that those would have been saved for the scourge. better late than never.
iker draws poison sign - toxic on tinkerbell
muk is hit by string shot electrike's lightningrod absorbs charge beam and nullifies the damage
it's the healing that tips iker off, that maybe this wasn't just some random ranger who walked in through the door. then again, anyone who got as far as nerio probably wasn't.

electrike uses hp boost electrike uses thunder wave on tinkerbell electrike uses ice fang on tinkerbell nY6EWWUN 1-10 frz 11-20 flinch
someone from nerio gym shoves a pokeball in his hand in an attempt to be rid of the smell. the onlookers seem relieved that the muk is finally knocked out. her existence was..inconvenient.
iker becomes irritated and he decides not to stop by nerio gym again unless absolutely necessary.
