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.

(yes, shamees is now living somewhere in the dream world.)
J too grabbed a photobook and flipped through it. there were various pictures of shamees in various poses. whether they were interesting or disgusting depended on the eye of the beholder.
"seems like it," J commented, "he looks so content with his mienshao."
he showed thalia a picture of shamees lounging by the beach with his mienshao feeding him a variety of fruits. the man himself was sipping a cocktail. it was very atalanta-esque.

thalia had barely peeked over j's elbow at the photo (she was short okay) when a cascade of photos rained down on them. she peeled one off her face and looked at it. shamees face grinned back at her insincerely from the print, white braid flowing in the wind.
she could hear his mocking laughter. it took a moment to realize the sound wasn't just in her head.
"ugh."

J heard the laughter too. he recognized it for what it was -- a ghost they had banished to the dream world.
"he's an entrepreneur," said J, flipping to the back of a photo. there was an address printed on it along with his name and c-gear number. "seems successful."
meanwhile, shamees sat cross-legged and watched the duo.

"it says ... the shining city." J glanced at thalia, expecting her to know the place. he didn't know what place was called what half the time, because he wasn't a kohaku native.
"and ... the tower of janus. whatever that means."
"it's a joke. he thinks he's funny. the shining city is just a fairy tale, and the tower of janus is an old ruin. i wish he'd fuck off to either of those places and leave us alone."

a split second later, a rush of postcards came hurtling out of nowhere. he bent over and picked up one of them. he gave it a look, and a brief moment of confusion crossed his face.
"is this photoshopped?" he indicated shamees's elegant posture and his perfectly-coiffed hair.
"what if we're the only people he knows?" J asked. it was a long, cheesy shot, but he didn't put it past the anvil ghost to act that way.
he studied the photo again, and tossed it aside in favor of another one. it was then that J noticed that printed on the other side were all different pictures of shamees.
"he has a lot of free time on his hands."
in the distance, shamees chuckled to himself and enjoyed a watercress sandwich.
