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!
just get through bacchus quickly, get through pax quickly, get through decima quickly and end up in hespera. that's what everyone in nerio said to do...and rhea would follow their advice. sure, she went looking for the scourge in ceres, but that was just the amberwell. bacchus was fully infested with powerful scourge, pax and decima were even worse.
she was practically running through the ghost town, trying to get out when she came across the haunting steel jungle. she'd never heard of this place. right? left? straight? backwards? rhea had no earthly idea.

bacchus is being lost, slowly but steadily. there are discussions about it at lemures, talks that go long into the night and the time uncared for as the scourge debate and plan what their step should be next. tamara has moved away to get away from it all, and instead heads to lua gardens instead, where some of her old friends from her life as eleanor had come from.
she doesn't expect to see the eos here, but the pink hair is distinctive in the dull gray of everything else. tamara flips down her helmet's visor.
but her headgear has good acoustics and she has no doubt the woman can hear her. "it's dangerous to be walking here alone."
rhea clutched her styler tightly, staring at tamara with confusion. she was wearing a helmet. was it for protection? rhea could potentially understand that, but she'd never seen anything like that before. sure, if something hit her head and knocked her out in scourge territorry...it would only mean bad things.
but a new thought dawned upon her. sure, tamara could be wearing the helmet for safety- that is a helmet's main function, of course, but what if she was using it for a different reason. to conceal her face. to conceal her identity. rhea didn't have any earthly idea why anyone would do that either, but...it was possible as well.
she decided she'd keep her distance. it was the best thing to do. "it is." rhea mumbles, nodding. "but you're out here alone too." she points it out, hoping that hapinasu and strike will show up soon. it truly is dangerous out here...only a matter of time before something finds her and attacks.

"perhaps. but i'm familiar with the area. are you?"
theia drifts just out of sight, waiting patiently. it won't do much good to attack just an eos trainer - the pokemon, they could turn, bring into the fold. not so much the human.
"yup." she says, inspecting her dirty finger nails. it's a blatant lie, but it's probably for the better. she holds her ground but is careful not to offend this woman-- rhea doesn't know what's going on or who this is, she just wants to be on her way.
hapinasu waddles from around the bend, with strike the scyther alongside. strike is always on the lookout, as he's new and as a result, very nervous in scourge territorry. hapinasu knows better though, she walks with relative ease through the iron jungle. the two spot tamara and rhea motions them to come close.
"i'm not alone anymore, anyway." and she starts to go back the way she came, confident that she'll find a way out, eventually. hapinasu and strike linger, though. they smell scourge in the air.

"no. i suppose not." tamara looks to the vaccinated pokemon curiously. so she is right - the woman is eos. the agent does not let that deter her.
theia floats down to tamara's shoulder-level height. she debates on attacking the woman here and now, but she's grown up some. they both have. enough to ignore the virus in their veins humming for blood, at least.
they both wait. with them being upwind, there's no doubt that the vaccinated pokemon will smell the scourge in them both.
she whips back, about to tell her pokemon to come when she smells it. the rotten, gnarly, disgusting smell.
scourge.
rhea jumps into action immediately; doesn't let even a second go to waste.
scyther uses focus energy (guarantees crit next turn) scyther uses wing attack
blissey uses minimize (+eva next two turns) blissey uses doubleslap 45xMAakr 1-25 hits two times, 26-50 hits three times, 51-75 hits four times, 76-100 hits five times
rhea draws FLYING SIGN-tailwind (defensive basic sign)
rhea is about to comment on this betrayal, on tamara's awful moral system but the woman disappears. she's gone in a shadowy cloud, leaving rhea here, alone with the pokemon. she ignores it and draws a sign.
rhea draws FAIRY SIGN-fairy dust/fly rhea flies up in the air
scyther is hit by yawn scyther uses +acc boost wing attack (guaranteed crit) scyther uses endure idek why scyther uses vacuum wave (tailwind)

togetic dodged fissure togetic hit by fissure copying vert and counting that as 200 points of damage
tamara has seen enough. she teleports to theia's side and silently hands her a light stone. the togetic takes it.
there is a bright light on the field, perhaps blinding everyone there, but tamara has a visored helmet - she can perfectly see what is happening. she sees theia evolve.
when the light subsides, all that is left is a togekiss with darkened skin and a wicked smile on its face.
togetic was given light stone togetic evolved into togekiss!
they can evolve, she thinks, eyes wide. they're not...dead? they can still evolve or make progress in some way, obviously. rhea squints to make sure her eyes aren't deceiving her.
rhea draws the STEEL SIGN-"iron head" on togekiss
blissey uses copycat blissey uses iron head blissey uses minimize nette
