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!
it's been a long journey. karimi resists the urge to drink the soda pop herself. from what she's heard of this place, keeping one would be the smart thing to do. she hasn't been making a lot of smart decisions lately. abstaining from a soda pop should be the least that she can do.
the braviary-researcher duo land with little fanfare. this might not have been pax lake, but the tower of janus was rumored to have more than a few nasty surprises for the unwary.
the tower of janus seemed to be unaffected by winter. it stood tall and translucent in the middle of the somnus ruins, a tower of quartz and a symbol of the past.
standing by the stairs was a man in armor, and he spotted the duo making their landing upon a cleared patch in the ruins. bosch whistled lowly, and a growlithe trotted up to his side, tongue lolling in the heat.
"fetch," he told the canine, and the puppy bounded off towards karimi happily.
"hey, little guy!" karimi pats the growlithe on the head. she remembers when she had picked emerson off the street herself. that was back when she had first arrived in nerio city to scan every pokemon that she could find on the street. now they're fighting scourge and taking names. they've...really come a long way since then.
so uh. maybe this is the guy that they were supposed to hand the soda off to. karimi takes it out of her pack and...shit. uh. she can't tell if the soda is going to explode or not when someone opens it, but she can only hope that the trip had not shaken up the can too badly. nevertheless, she passes the soda off to the growlithe. vertigo
the growlithe barked at karimi, wagging its tail. it licked the cold bottle of soda pop and rolled it under its paw a few times.
it gave it a good, hard nudge with its head.
V_ALlmyn <50 flies away into the distance, >50 rolls a short distance away, 50 explodes
the bottle of soda pop was flung quite a distance away. the growlithe panted, staring at karimi. it seemed to expect her to play a game of fetch with him.
in the distance, bosch waited. why did it take so long for it to fetch the human?
she sends her braviary to go retrieve the can before it goes too far into the distance. leon uses tailwind to help him in this endeavor.
okay. okay, so that wasn't what was supposed to happen. why doesn't anyone write decent travel guides for these kinds of places anymore?
when the braviary drops the bottle of soda pop into her hand, karimi takes one look at it and...doesn't even want to drink it anymore. she hopes that whoever the reciever is doesn't intend to take a drink either.
... either way, there's no way but forward. karimi's favorite kind of path, really.
"to adventure!!" she marches on with the growlithe.
"oh shit, that's not a good idea -" karimi attempts to steal the soda away from the growlithe. "um. i'd offer, but ... well, okay. but it'll be at your own risk." she winces. maybe she should have brought extras.
maybe he would be lucky.
8wtgNd4e <50 would only overflow on his hands, otherwise champagne bottle geyser vertigo
bosch was the king of soda pops. he popped open the bottle of soda pop without much mishap, and drank half the bottle in one go. he glanced at karimi, thirst satiated for the time being.
and then the other half of the bottle mysteriously exploded in a geyser.
bosch seemed rather taken aback. the sweet, fizzy liquid trickled down his armor, and he blinked in surprise.
bosch's armor had lasted him for many years. soda pop wasn't going to ruin it. and besides, the anvil had taken care to ensure he lived for as long as the tower of janus stood.
the man gaped, not that it could be seen. he sighed through his mouth, and set the (sadly) empty bottle on the ground. he stood up to his full height of seven feet (or more) and dusted himself off.
"don't worry about it," said bosch, "it'll dry off in just a couple of minutes!"
"o-oh! that's lucky." she takes the time to admire his cool suit of armor. it was like being in a hesperia museum again, except having a real man in a suit of armor is much more interesting than a hesperia display. "so mister, i heard that you were up in the mountains..."
