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!
stefan tells himself that he shouldn't be surprised to see scourge here, scourge at the fringe of neiro. if he can fly back from decima in a matter of days, then no distance is too small for pax's horde. he shouldn't expect safe haven anywhere past the city limits.
that's what stefan tells himself as he stares down the two scourge pokemon before him, both hungry for flesh. he's been preparing himself for weeks on end - him and his party members. the honchkrow flies above him, taking in the scene carefully. heidi only snarls menacingly at the enemies.
this was crazy. his second scourge battle this week; he had to wonder whether thalia's words were coming true. maybe he did feel that it was exciting to battle scourge. however, today, he wasn't fighting alongside thalia.
J ate a mouthful of bitter powder, and let the bitterness swarm his throat. he watched the scourge pokémon, turned to stefan, then passed him the packet.
( you guys have the questionable honor of me testing 6-vs-3, because I feel like 6-vs-2 is too easy. )
Three scourge pokemon. We shall all give Stefan the benefit of doubt. He saw only two not because Stefan couldn't count, which is always a possibility, but rather because the chimecho was hard to see. It is rather small.
But it was the first on the assault. Taking only a second to alert its companions (comrades?), it dropped a safeguard and rang a heavy yawn at the honchkrow, psychically propelling itself upwards to attack at the bird in flight. The others follow the little chimecho into battle, albeit with less grace. Not everyone can levitate, after all. The rest of us just jump.
chimecho uses safeguard chimecho uses yawn on honchrow and houndoom chimecho uses confusion on honchkrow chimecho uses astonish on honchkrow
scrafty uses dragon dance scrafty uses scary face on honchkrow and houndoom scrafty uses hi jump kick on honchkrow scrafty uses faint attack on honchkrow
aggron uses screech on honchkrow and houndoom aggron uses metal sound on honchkrow and houndoom aggron uses take down on houndoom aggron uses iron head on houndoom
this is a lesson on how the scourge are apparently not randomized and why a player named toska should never trust a hook to be nice. but hey, at least the chimecho could be worse.
stefan knows enough about the grimer court to know that accepting a strange packet from a man that he has never met is probably a bad idea, but anyway he watched him open a fresh packet. he sniffs it for a second and realizes that it is the same sort of powder that the particularly adventurous old ladies liked to brew into their teas. stefan memorized quite a few recipies himself, back when it was a fad among the wealthy. for the first time, he downs a quarter of the bag. the bitterness registers immediately, but what's more prevalant is the sharp burst of energy that he experiences.
huh. so maybe those old weasels were onto something.
the houndoom starts to become drowsy, but insomnia protects the honchkrow from feeling the effects. he doesn't anticipate the astonish, but alexander manages to keep relatively calm during the assault. the honchkrow finds itself being assaulted from two sides, and only manages to dodge hi jump kick.
the honchkrow doesn't pause to watch the scrafty fall, however. instead, he has to put up with the various sounds thrown at them. with his superior speed, alexander dodges (speed stat boost) the metal sound before spreading a thick layer of haze into the air.
it's still thin enough to see through, thankfully. stefan grunts at the other trainer, "take advantage of it"
it seems that the houndoom's head is still ringing, but she growls appreciatively at her partner. the take down is a painful surprise, but she dodges the iron head, at least. the houndoom takes the chance for a reversal, lashing out at the aggron with all of her might.
"hurry" stefan bites on his bottom lip, knowing that their efforts have left his team plenty exposed. just to be on the safe side, stefan sends out his pawniard, commanding a scary face at the aggron and scrafty. the faint attack is aimed at the chingling.
honchkrow is immune to yawn via insomnia ability honchkrow dodged hi jump kick honchkrow dodged metal sound (via speed stat boost) honchkrow used haze (clears all buffs/debuffs)
houndoom is hit by yawn and got drowsy houndoom is hit by all the other debuffs, but they're all nullified by haze houndoom is hit by take down houndoom uses reversal on aggron
pawniard is sent out! pawniard uses scary face on aggron and scrafty pawniard uses faint attack on chingling
"yeah." J retrieved his pokéballs and summoned forth his pokémon. screw the rules; there were three hadean pokémon on the field and quite possibly a trainer who had no idea what facing down scourge was like. in a shimmer of silver and steel, his team entered the fray.

somehow, things don't seem that bad. stefan hands him back the packet, still riding on the energy high.
the pawniard is visibly irritated by the confinement, but he sharpens his weapons with hone claws. he waits patiently, convinced that his time will come
the houndoom is knocked out by the enemy scrafty, but that isn't as if stefan hadn't seen it coming. at least reversal made its mark. the day is still young - a pokemon center visit ought to suffice. stefan makes sure to recall heidi before the lumbering aggron accidentally crushes her bones in his rampage.
alexander comes at the scrafty and aggron with featherdance before descending with a wing attack on the scrafty. the honchkrow does not linger and intends to fly out of the immediate danger zone as soon as possible.

aggron was killed!
Scrafty is not a complete idiot. It swaggers, spits a sand attack into its opponents' eyes, and turns tail to flee. Ducking behind the aggron's corpse, it takes to the shadows, beating feet towards anywhere but here.
the pawniard is finally free of the wrap attack. he launches himself forward with a guaranteed brick break, followed up by a metal claw.
honchkrow dives down for another wing attack.
the deino nearly stumbles over his own feet, but he, too, manages a dragon pulse
stefan finally remembers that he, too, has a few virus balls in his pocket. this would probably be a good time to use them. he throws one at the aggron and collects his prize.
pawniard used brick break + accuracy buff pawniard used metal claw (attack buff)
