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.

luke looked around the casino. the lights were dim, the air was smokey. he raised his sword, slicing through the air and casting dark void on the patrons of the casino. there was one who he avoided, one who he approached.
"hello, irene. you're the bacchus gym leader, am i right?"
she wasn't the bacchus gym leader, not anymore. the scourge had taken over bacchus and everything was lost. gone. it was completely drained of hope like plants denied precious sunshine. everything was gone. bacchus was gone. she too, was gone.
she sipped her glass of red wine. it was the only thing that calmed her nowadays. not even sleep -- in her sleep she saw nothing but darkness and sadness that clawed at her heart. irene remembered that sort of desperation like it was only yesterday. bacchus had fallen chanted like a mantra in her mind, reminding her of ineptitude and everything else that had contributed to its fall.
she didn't know that eos was working to restore it. even if she did, she knew that it wasn't for her sake, wasn't to set up for her glorious return to the gym.
so irene had given up on hope and was wasting time away in casino aurora, playing game after game of blackjack, round after round of poker in the hopes of finding something else to hope for. a good hand of cards worked like a charm. a good draw worked, to a lesser degree, but it was still good.
irene gave up on her glass of red wine and drank straight from the bottle. she wasn't her usual self, but she rarely was in the casino. (she was still observant, though -- when everyone fell asleep and she didn't, her manicured fingers curled around the neck of the wine bottle and her tongue clicked, just once.) she tilted her head to look at whoever sought her out -- no, she wasn't interested. the young men and women that had come had all failed in getting her to return.
because irene the displaced gym leader didn't want to go back to bacchus, that was why.
"i am irene, but i am no longer a gym leader. bacchus is no more."

luke frowned. he knew better, and he had only been in eos for... a few weeks. "bacchus is being restored. recaptured. the gym is almost freed from scourge. will you not return, nor take your place upon the throne of gym leader?"

"i am not the gym leader of bacchus." she tipped her glass and scowled upon finding it empty. "how am i supposed to dispense badges?" the end of her sentence was characterized with a lilt to it.
irene glanced about, and her scowl deepened upon remembering that everyone else was fast asleep and therefore, no one was going to bring her more wine. despite her apparent predicament, irene had enough composure in her to not demand that luke lift the effects of the spell at once.

irene stirred. the effects of wide guard lifted from the patrons of the casino; they were thankfully unharmed, just a tad sleepy.
