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 !

steam rose from the grounds of the forest. it was oddly warm after a shower, or at least, the area looked like it had just been through a bout of rain. J ducked under a branch alongside thorpe, his riolu. the canine had simply jumped onto the branch and landed by the trainer's side before walking on confidently.
if anything, the riolu had been quicker with getting up and about than dust had been. even after evolving into a lairon, dust was still slow and stupidly clumsy. "thorpe," he called out to the creature after it'd gone slightly ahead, "heel."
the canine barked something, and waited for J to catch up before moving on ahead.
a lone spinda stumbles along the path, dancing merrily for anyone who would like to stop and watch him. that is to say, not many, and he knows it. the spinda is absolutely starved of an audience by now, but that doesn't stop him from trying to find a new one.
when the spinda catches sight of the riolu, he pauses in mid-dance and causes an uproar, eager to retain these spectators. vertigo
thorpe clapped its hands to its ears and narrowed its eyes at the spinda, which in the words of tsun was actually a panda on acid. the loud noise it emitted drove J to cover his own ears as well, and he nodded to the riolu.
swiftly, thorpe darted forward with a quick attack.
if toska were allowed a comment, then she would have agreed that spinda is a panda on acid. sadly, any mention of her would be breaking the fourth wall in unforgivable ways. except spinda isn't a panda - it's a normal pokemon who just so happens to be hell bent on discord. no wonder even a true fan of spinda can't name all of his albums.
the spinda's note dies down as he feels a heavy weight in his stomach. however, the show must go on! he takes the opportunity to give the riolu a very special show with his uproar, just in case he couldn't hear. the spinda can never tell. vertigo
the spinda's ability of contrary kicks in, stranding the riolu in slow motion. even so, the spinda is too focused in its performance to notice when the quick attack strikes again. he goes down in an aria of light.
