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.

the spirit stared at thalia, before employing his knowledge of kohaku sign language to illustrate his story. J had no idea what it was going on about, but if thalia knew kohaku sign language, it sounded something like this:
"i died."
rkS|QNM| 1-20 spirit shamees goes back into his body 21-30 the well-preserved body is phased out from the anvil 31-50 a skeleton falls out of the anvil 51-80 spirit shamees sits cross-legged atop the anvil. 81-100 spirit mienshao appear
"Maybe. Do you guide the anvil? Did you make the shield and staff we were given?"
As the mienshao hissed at her, Thalia seemed to remember J.
"He says he died," she told him. "And that's about all he seems to be willing to talk about. Not very helpful." That last sentence was punctuated with a pointed glance at the spirit.
shamees signed a firm 'no.' he also did not miss the pointed glance thalia gave him; he pretended not to see it.
J nodded. "he's obviously dead," he commented, "and not very helpful. yeah."
shamees signed for the mienshao to do something.
UTcq85U3 <10 they are attacked 11-30 they are beaten up 31-80 they bring offerings of sandwiches and tea 81-100 the three of them upgrade the shield and staff
The mienshao, despite their distaste for Thalia's hideous pink fur, were polite hosts. They assembled a light repast of sandwiches and tea on silver trays and carried the meal over to offer to J and Thalia.
A dozen watercress sandwiches lay neatly piled on the platter for them.
FbrzgUJA 1-20 the sandwiches give stat boosts 20-50 the sandwiches are sandwiches 50-90 they're intangible spirit sandwiches 90-100 they're poisoned
shamees smiled. J glanced from his face and then at thalia, who had turned blue in the face. she was pretty much choking to death -- once again, mors flashed before his eyes. that was twice he had been reminded of their ordeal now.
"no," J said again, this time with more urgency.
was this the anvil - shamees's - idea of a sacrifice in order to get better things? J set to work just as he had in the desert.
that was not how it went in the desert. that was --
-- actually, he had to try several times in mors. it shouldn't be any different in di manes. J was about to attempt the heimlich a second time before realizing thalia had fainted.
now what? he couldn't exactly have empoleon use hydro pump on her. no one on his team knew wake-up slap either ... but he knew brick break. (was it a good idea? probably not.)
"you're safe," said J, his eyes moving to the anvil as it suddenly gleamed silver.
shamees moved away from the surface from the anvil. the tray of sandwiches was completely eaten by the three of them. "luck was on your side," he signed to thalia.
ClKimTZt 1-40 the anvil gives them a weapon 41-80 it's a shield 81-100 non-poisoned sandwiches that taste like heaven
