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.

"none of my pokémon can do that." none of his pokémon could make status effects happen, either. with everyone on the field having some sort of move to achieve that, he figured that whoever he fought with could manage it.
apparently, not stefan.
"maybe i should invest in a magnemite."
he pocketed the virus ball, and nodded his 'you're welcome' to neo.
it was an unwilling show of emotion; the thought had indeed crossed his mind, but most of his scourge had been given to neo as he had no real way of hitting the bulwark. it wasn't a question that neo said, but he answered anyway.
"no, i haven't. they've been given to you, alive or dead."
In an equally unwilling show of emotion, Neo giggled. She tried to cough over it at first, but that didn't last for very long.
With a hand over her mouth, which didn't stop the giggling, she said, "I appreciate it, I really do, but I expected you to trade in for some fossils."
She took a breath, found her composure, and continued, "I think you should give this chimecho to the Bulwark to pick up a fossil. It still has a few days left to live, and you don't have a kabuto yet. You spoil me, J. Get something for yourself every now and then too."
J waited for the giggling fit to tide over before speaking. "i'm probably going to get money," he corrected, "the fossils are tempting, but they can wait.
"i need to afford tms."
his team really didn't have the best natural movepools.
"yeah, one by the entrance," J said, turning his attention towards the machine. it wasn't anything particularly newfangled, as the monitor was still rather fat and bulky.
The PC was old and slow, but at least it worked. For no particular reason, Neo shook the pokeball deposit--as if that'd make the machine get the job done faster--but inevitably, a pokeball popped out.
"I caught a venomoth in Decima," she said, presenting J a pokeball. "I'm not using him, but he knows a lot of powder and spore attacks."
...Which won't amount to much if J's luck was reliably rotten, but Neo figured his luck couldn't be as bad as it was against Esme all the time though. Little does she know.
neo was blissfully unaware about his mors adventures with thalia as they went to turn in their rewards at the bulwark for the first time in their lives, which was a good thing. J never wanted to talk about those events to anyone.
"oh," said the trainer, accepting the pokéball. he squinted into the semi-translucent casing, and noted that the venomoth was a silvery-blue. as close as a bug could get to being silver, he supposed, and pocketed it. "thanks."
