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!
J hung around the department store's grocery section, looking rather out of place amongst the produce. he took a few glances around the selections of fruit and vegetables, looking rather lost between all the greens and reds of the section. he could barely tell the difference between some leafy vegetables -- all he knew that he didn't eat them, and that was it.
he turned around, and only saw more vegetables and fruit.
J realized he was quite possibly out of his element here, and promptly wandered off deeper in, and ended up in the ...
a|_oFq_b 1-10 dairy section 11-30 candy section 31-60 herbal remedies section 61-80 salad bar 81-100 poultry and meat section
if it was more possible for J to look extraordinarily misplaced in a department store (moreso than in the groceries section), it was smack in the middle of rows of brightly-colored candy.
Neo wandered through the men's department, which was an entire floor or three to itself. She'd waited by the suit section, but J didn't show up, so she'd started looking for him. It wasn't like him to be late, and the department store could be labyrinthine if you hadn't mapped it out already to find the much hidden maternity department.
...She was quite certain though that he wasn't in the men's section. She was considering putting up signs. LOST: MAN IN PARKA. IF FOUND, PLEASE CALL.
Instead, she texted him. ' where are you '
Politely, Neo started asking every sales clerk she passed if they'd seen J, ie LOST: MAN IN PARKA.
5ot_5BGe < 50 someone points her to the candy aisle
the sales clerks that neo approached had no clue where J was. man in parka was very vague to them. also maybe the departments were on completely different floors of the department store.
one of them suggested neo do an announcement over the PA, much like if she had to look for a lost child.
---
J stared at the rows of candy, and out of curiosity, read some of the labels. they didn't interest him, and he put them back on the shelves.
he replied to neo's text message when his c-gear beeped. 'candy section. near cereal.'
he figured that if he remained where he was, neo would stand a better chance of finding him. alternatively, he could go to where she was, but she hadn't mentioned her location.
...Why was he by the cereal aisle? How does one enter the Vesta Department Store, in search of suits, only to end up by the dry foodstuffs? How is that even conceivably possible?
'stay where you are i'm on my way', she texted, hoping that he wouldn't wander off to then meats and cheeses. As long as he stayed there, she wouldn't need to do a PA announcement to find him. There'd be no point anyway; if J couldn't find his way to the mens department, then he'd never find her either.
At the cereal aisle, she looked around for the candy section, not spotting him just yet. She sent another text, 'are you still here'
when you were a part of the combination called J and thalia. that's how you end up in the wrong department.
as soon as J received the text message from neo, he stayed in the same aisle, which was the candy aisle. he figured she wouldn't take too long to get to where he was, but of course, he could always be wrong. these days, things rarely go the way they were supposed to when he was around.
he held his c-gear in hand, and debated placing it back in his pockets. his decision was made for him when he received a second message.
Neo wandered through the men's department, which was an entire floor or three to itself. She'd waited by the suit section, but J didn't show up, so she'd started looking for him. It wasn't like him to be late, and the department store could be labyrinthine if you hadn't mapped it out already to find the much hidden maternity department.
