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.

"I guess." The caves were pretty damn big. Would Rhea have even gotten to Nerio before nightfall? He couldn't help but feel that she was being a bit too hard on herself . . .
"Could be worse, though. At least you've got a good campsite." Always the optimist, eh Dan?
For once, Ambrose's smile dropped little. He shook his head, muttering "No, no, too obvious. Gotta rhyme.
'He who denied the passing of gas most likely possesses the flatulent ass'"
Then came the giant walking taser. Ambrose motioned for him to chill out, waving him away in a "the big kids are talking" fashion.
she shrugged, unpacking some of her things. maybe she wouldn't have made it through-- but she could have at least tried. rhea doesn't like sitting around, it's better to move, and move fast. she doesn't want to play games. but what is being a ranger but games? she's got no agenda, no goal, so why does she feel the need to rush?
"where are you from?" she asks, out of nowhere.
chansey laughs dryly, before smirking. she goes into monologue mode, dramatically posing as she recites a poem. "whoever rapped it," she holds for suspense, "crapped it."
and then elekid cracks up, rolling on the cavern floor hysterically. for some reason, rhea's pokemon find this one the funniest of all. Crash

"Sol City. Well, sort of. I've actually lived in Humilau for most of my life. How about you?"
In contrast to Rhea, Dan was moving at a slightly more leisurely pace. Beyond having to rush to Di Manes for a proper sleeping place, he had taken his time to explore his surroundings and get to know others in the area. He didn't really feel much need to rush, especially with everyone's insistence that Sol City was a safe haven. Maybe after the third or fourth repetition, he finally came to terms with the fact that they were safe and sound.
For now, of course.
Ambrose couldn't help but clap a bit. Now she was getting it! "Whoever makes the claim accepts the blame!"
lucky crossed her arms. "oh please~" she closed her eyes. "i'm much better at it than you are." and then she prepared herself again, making a big fart sound with her mouth. "you're such a smart ass."
"a smart ass with a fart ass!" and the elekid and chansey broke out in laughter again. rhea stared at them, sighing. "what's wrong with our pokemon." Crash

Ambrose snickered. As a crab, he didn't necessarily have the tools to make a good fart sound with his mouth. That didn't stop him from putting his claws together and firing some Bubbles to create a rather gassy-sounding noise.
"And you're a wise guy stinkin' like a pig sty!"
"I . . . don't know," Dan remarked. "This is the most I've ever seen Ambrose talk, actually. Guess finding someone to joke around with is bringing him out of his shell."
Oh come on, Dan, that pun was way too wholesome. You didn't even mention a single fart!
oh god. she hates having to answer this question. rhea doesn't have a home, she's lived all over. and yes, you could say 'home is where the heart is,' but fuck you because her heart is inside of her body and she doesn't actually care about veilstone, juturna, or nerio. she decides to go with juturna this time.
"juturna village." it's a half hearted reply, followed by a sip of tea.
"whoever spoke last set of the deadly blast." chansey says, looking away with pride.
rhea looked at the pokemon again. ...to. joke with." she thinks for a moment. "no offense, but chansey doesn't seem to like that krabby very much." Crash

She lived in Juturna? Huh, no wonder she was so fearsome in the fight for the Amberwell. It made Dan a little curious though: if home was so close to the Amberwell, why didn't she head there after the fight?
Oh well, not like that was his place to ask questions. Still, he couldn't help but wonder . . .
Ambrose's eye twinkled a bit. For once he had shut his trap again. In this verbal duel, he had Chansey right where he wanted her.
"Yeah, I could tell as soon as she tried to slap him," he remarked. "I dunno, Ambrose is . . . strange." The crab seemed to love getting a rise out of others, whether complete strangers or those he was friendly with. Hell, half the time he shied away from kindness. At this point Dan had just given up on trying to understand what went on in his brain.
rhea sighed, fed up with lucky. "she is too. a big old weirdo, if you ask me." chansey looked at rhea, offended.
"on second thought," the pink creature began. "i think this old lady's the one who cut the cheese." she lowered her eyebrows and stared at the trainers menacingly. "your friend might have helped too." Crash

chansey held up a tiny middle finger at ambrose and lowered her eyebrows.
"a month ago." she says, kind of shocked that it's true. it's been a long time since she joined eos. rhea had never expected to have stuck with this whole ranger-thing for more than a week or two. she looked at dan. "you?" Crash
looking for a swablu/altaria, if you have one PM me!
Dan looked down a little sheepishly. It always sucked having to admit this, especially around people with more tenure then him.
"By now? About three days."
Ambrose may or may not have been flipping the Double Deuce in return. It was hard to tell, considering he didn't have any middle fingers to flip or not.
rhea looks at him. "and you're already in di manes?" she shakes her head in disbelief. "you've gone the distance in three days that i have in a month." she prepares her sleeping bag.
chansey cackles at krabby. "you should just give up," she says, waddling over to rhea's side. Crash

"Well, I handled most of my business in Proserpina a few days before registering, and I mostly just rushed over here so I could find a safe resting place," Dan admitted. "I'll probably be back in Ceres to keep an eye on the Amberwell situation after a good sleep.
Honestly, if not for your help I don't even think I would have made it over here yet. So . . . thanks."
"Okay, okay," Ambrose responded, snickering a little bit between words. "I know, if I were you I'd be scared to keep going too~." I swear, these two are just incorrigible.
she turns away; studies the floor. "your welcome." and then she heads towards the tent, stopping right before she enters to call to chansey and elekid.
speaking of lucky, she glared at ambrose. "i'd be scared to let another word come out of your mouth, mister."
"or another toot from your ass." and she walks towards rhea, both of them ready to say goodnight. Crash

Ambrose poked Dan a few times, reminding the Ranger that, yes, sleep was indeed very important. Also that they've been too busy lollygagging around and chatting with people to find a proper place to sleep. At least Rhea was smart enough to have had a campsite ready during the conversation.
"Goodnight!" Dan called out as the trainer and the Chansey headed toward their tents. Ambrose waved, smirking a bit as he changed his wave into the infamous L-shaped salute. He then dashed away, partly to find a camping sight and partly to claim the last word in this little verbal duel. Dan followed shortly thereafter, mostly to make sure Ambrose didn't do anything stupid while hunting for a campsite.
