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.

Brrr! It was really cold today. She had not picked a good day for this.
At least there’s no wind inside the theatre. Still cold though.
Tiffany is nervous – actually, that word didn’t cover it – but at least the two Pokemon with her are both vaccinated and she has a funny shield gift thing from the Anvil that’s supposedly going to protect her. Honestly, she doesn’t have much faith in it.
The Gym is a giant theatre and downright creepy when there’s nothing in there except you, your friends, and your footsteps. Everything else was unnervingly quiet, which didn’t make sense for a place that was supposedly crawling with scourge. That scared Tiffany more than the idea of facing the scourge. She never liked the quiet.
Yet, no one was willing to break it. Because, maybe if they did, they’d jinx everything and it would all go to hell. And Tiffany has recently learned that she can very well jinx things.
Then one of her Zweilous’ heads sneezed and the Pokemon promptly began arguing with itself. Loudly.
Great. Just great. Now all the scourge knew to come out and play.
circus freak. black lace, black leather-- you're an acrobat soaring above the crowd. whoosh, whoosh. flip, flip. and then you're on the ground. circus freak. harem pants, feathered hair-- you're a juggler, torches high above you. toss, toss. around and around. and then you're burned.
yves is there on the stage, styler in hand, her mask strapped around her face. sableye prepares itself to do it's job, it's shadow outstretching far over the entire theatre.
yves draws the XERNEAS SIGN-geomancy levels scale dizzy
looking for a swablu/altaria, if you have one PM me!
Oh cool – a performance! Once Tiffany figured out that much her eyes lit up with a silly little hope that shouldn’t have been there. A performer was ten million times better than some scourge Pokemon.
Then it hit her how scary the shadow behind the performer was and—oh the performer had a styler! And—was she drawing a sign?
Oh. Oh shit, that sign was meant for them, wasn’t it? Tiffany stared. Somethingone had come out to play, but it wasn't a Pokemon.
<Don’t just stand there!> her Rotom hissed in her ear. <Draw a sign too!>
Right. Of course. That was the rangery thing to do.
tiff draws the JIRACHI SIGN – doom desire zweilous used work up the rotom is lvl65 and the zweilous is lvl50, so are you scaling down to 65? CAEDMON
she disappeared behind the curtains as the sableye came out of hiding, his eyes full of hunger and gleam-- as he leapt at the two pokemon.
and yves appeared again on the balcony, her teeth glimmering through the midnight-dark, her eyes shining. she painted the air, stroking out her next sign.
hope uses fake out on zweilous hope uses feint attack on rotom hope uses confuse ray on rotom hope uses taunt on rotom level 65 is fine with me, if it's okay with you :) if it gets too hard, i can scale down to 55-60 because of zweilous's level dizzy
looking for a swablu/altaria, if you have one PM me!
Oh great, the scary shadow really had been something sinister. Tiffany was starting to properly understand Murphy’s Law now.
So was Mo. Poor guy was getting the brunt of the attacks.
zweilous dodged fake out zweilous used dragon pulse rotom dodged confuse ray rotom hit by feint attack and taunt rotom used shock wave tiff draws the ENTEI SIGN – causes burn 65 sounds good to me. i'll let you know if it's too hard. just let me run away if i need to lol. CAEDMON
yves creeped over the stage up from the balcony, watching sableye simultaneously fight the rotom and zweilous.
hope is under the effects of geomancy 1/2 (+speed, spec attack, spec defense) hope is hit by dragon pulse, shock wave hope dodges entei sign hope uses shadow claw on rotom hope uses feint attack on rotom hope uses power gem on rotom (+spec attack) hope uses confuse ray on zweilous (+speed) yves draws the DIALGA SIGN-roar of time on zweilous dizzy

Tiffany started to worry (more) – this Sableye really knew how to play to Mo’s type disadvantage.
rotom used hp boost rotom used double team you saw nothing rotom used shock wave zweilous hit by roar of time & confuse ray RbmBF7rI confusion check zweilous hits itself in confusion doom desire attacks tiff drew YVELTAL SIGN - oblivion wing CAEDMON
sableye gave a grin as he moved deftly around the theatre, slipping out of the way of multiple attacks.

looking for a swablu/altaria, if you have one PM me!
Tiffany does her best to look on the bright side – at least the Sableye wasn’t screeching. Actually, it was quite pleasantly quiet in comparison, even if it was scary.
rotom hit by feint attack zweilous hit by power gem tiff uses sitrus berries on rotom & zweilous zweilous confusion check 4ZYJ0JG5 it hit itself again thank you dice tiff drew AZELF SIGN - detect
CAEDMON double team what double team? (i'm so sorry, i forgot about it ><)
elias frowned as he rushed into the gym. the commotion from outside drew him here-- he thought that it might have been a newbie trainer come to battle the gym leader. but irene wasn't here. she never really was. reluctantly, he sent out two pokemon and sighed, sitting down in one of the auditorium seats.
focus badge mimics dire hit! breloom uses mind reader breloom uses spore (+spec defense) breloom uses seed bomb (+bouquet badge)
ugh. another one. yves's grin disappears. sableye is hit by everything B9yL_cVp <50 sableye wakes up sableye uses feint attack on breloom sableye uses power gem on breloom sableye uses taunt on breloom sableye uses confuse ray on dratini dizzy

Oh wow. Just wow. On the list of things that Tiffany had been expecting to happen, encountering another person (one who wasn’t affiliated with the scourge), let alone being saved by them, wasn’t even written down. Strangely, it had never occurred to her that other people might be around.
But why on earth was he sitting down in the seats?
Never mind that – there’s still a battle going on!
he whipped out his c-gear and started to play tetris. breloom pouted at him.
breloom hit by feint attack, power gem breloom dodged taunt breloom uses seed bomb breloom uses leech seed (bouquet)

Wow this guy is pretty chilled considering they’re fighting a powerful, evil zombie ghost. If Tiffany or her Pokemon caught onto what he was doing they would have just… stared.
oblivion wing healed some of rotom's health aaand it was hit by feint attack rotom used double team rotom used hex zeilous dodged power gem zweilous used acc boost + dragon pulse tiff drew HO-OH SIGN – sacred fire A1LwQJ1_ <95 acc check
CAEDMON seriously, tiff owes him. if she can ever help him with something let me know.
fuck, this tetris game was getting really exciting. swipe. swipe. oh god they were falling so fast- "wait, what's so hot in here" and he looked up to see a sacred fire scorching in the room. his jaw dropped. wasn't that a ho-oh thing? it was, wasn't it. did they run into a scourge ho-oh?!
oh. nope. tiffany was a ranger. he slipped his c-gear away, and offering a handshake to tiff. "good game. i'm elias."
--------
sableye is hit by everything sableye faints yves drew the PSYCHIC SIGN-teleport (will you roll me a legendary sign for yves?) dizzy nah, it's fine. maybe someday they can fight scourge again together...elias always has some pokemon to level!

Tiffany saw the fainting and the psychic sign, but the victory didn’t set in. Her eyes still wandered around the stage looking for them. The Sabeleye was practically a shadow – it could be hiding anywhere. And that girl – she could too.
Something buzzed in her ear and brought her attention back. It was Mo, mostly pointing out that someone was talking to her and she was being quite rude in not saying anything.
“Good what?” Tiffany asked, turning. Did he really say game? “I mean, uh, hi. I’m Tiff.” She shook his hand, but looked at his Pokemon. “Thanks you two. Mo would be toast without you.”
Mo immediately objected to that assumption, but was ignored. Tiffany took a step back and snuck another glance over at the stage.
CAEDMON well i know who to call. scourgebusters! i rolled you an articuno.
Brrr! It was really cold today. She had not picked a good day for this.
