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!
decima town is an interesting place, ahuda muses. broken and bleeding from the scourge, but still fighting on. mefitis underground, especially. the only place where the poison wasn't seeping into the air, into the soil beneath her feet, and it shows in the signs of recent human life. she walks with her hands in her pockets, a hand clenched hidden in one, as her partners and assist walk by her side. thankfully the architects had designed the tunnels with large pokemon in mind, or otherwise the charizard would never have fit.
idly ahuda ducks into side shops and business, or remnants of there-of. most people don't stay in one place if they can, she's found, and the ranger is left kicking at broken glass and fragments of furniture even as she looks for other non-scourge life.

nana is the one leading the way, prancing through decima like she doesn't have a care in the world. the scourge in decima weren't too strong, and she knew she could handle it. grayson followed along, eating a steamed bun he had stolen from a shop. he eyes the charizard off to the side, and nana seems almost psychic. oh wait, it is.
the espeon prances over to the charizard, mewing excitedly and dancing around his feet. her trainer follows slowly, grimacing at seeing that it was vaccinated. it likely had a trainer.
the charizard gazes down at the small espeon at his feet, head tilted curiously. he's never been the one for social interaction, unfortunately, and he can only stand awkwardly as he tries not to step on the green creature.
ahuda glances over at the duo, quietly smiling, before looking around. the espeon was vaccinated, so its trainer was around here somewhere.
she nodded towards a man who was approaching. "she yours?" it was a good bet that he was. she kept a hidden hand on her styler anyway.

the voice in her head is unexpected, but it explains, so ahuda doesn't mind. "yeah. she do that often?" she asks the trainer, a curious eyebrow raised. to the espeon: "it's my pleasure as well."
the charizard looking desperately at her contradicts her words, but hey, he could deal with a fellow pokemon dancing round his feet. right?

"all the time." grayson sighs. he steps over to the charizard, running his fingers over the scales. "your charizard's skin is dry and cracking. it could get painful." he pulls out a small bottle of water to pour onto his hand, gently working it in.
"we've been out in the field for a while. not really much time to stop for lotion. and ares'd tell me before it got that bad." he would, because he's a good pokemon like that. now, madonna was a different story, because she would care about others' help more than her own. it got frustrating, sometimes, when she'd refuse treatment.
(ahuda quiets the voice in her head that says that she does the same. it sounds suspiciously like madonna herself)
"i'm ahuda," the ranger introduces herself. "again, ares is the charizard, and madonna is my mienfoo partner. what's yours, and your trainer's?"

"thanks." she catches it, tucks it into a side pocket along with the rest of what medicine she carries. it's generous of the man - of grayson.
"then it's nice to meet you, grayson, nana." she nods at both of them in turn before rolling back to her heels, letting most of her weight settle there. "what're you doing 'round decima?"

"no. i'm just... avoiding some people, until... something blows over."
of course, ahuda doesn't know that madonna'd already called some people on her contacts list and asked them to meet up at decima. what the ranger doesn't know won't hurt her.

he glanced down at nana. the espeon was pacing nervously, something she did when she could feel someone else's anxiety. "wanna talk? nana's going crazy with worry over you."
he took a bite from his steamed bun and turned his gaze to the mienfoo, eyeing it critically. it looked healthy enough. a bit closer to the ranger, judging by grayson's guess. absently, grayson tossed a pecha berry to the espeon, who jumped up to catch it, and began nibbling on it.
ahuda sighs. "nah. it's nothing that you should worry about." the psychic pokemon is given a smile that is hopefully not bitter nor sharp around the edges.
the food attracts attention, and ares peers curiously down at the espeon and her berry. madonna only starts to rummage in ahuda's own bag for food, the ranger relinquishing it with resigned amusement.
