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.

they asked for blood, what do you think this woman's made of?
Thalia was so done with this pasty bad hair choices washed-out looking playing grab-ass bitch. She was gonna skin her and wear it like a fucking cape after she dunked her in the Amberwell.

she doesn't even hear alex's words. what surprised her more than anything was the trainer that she had first defeated. the trainer who she had thought little of. the trainer who only had paltry words to return when he had been cornered with certain death. the trainer who didn't even have the strength in his legs to run.
the trainer who found the will to fight her for that girl.
it's a familiar scene. suddenly, her body feels very heavy.
why won't people be the selfish bastards that they're supposed to be? why won't they just look out for themselves? why do they have to protect each other at their own risk?
(why won't the weak stay weak?)
physis keeps her stare fixed on them. she makes no move to draw a sign. she's thinking, and her mind is too faraway for anything else. she needs her enemies to make sense, shove them into picture-perfect little boxes that she can slide into a shelf-
the man barely fits into the box that she had created for her brother, all those years ago.
a man's voice plays in her head. strength is meant to protect another.
(she isn't strong enough. she only holds enough power to survive.)
she's still standing there when the hyper beam comes at her. she could have turned her head, but the direction of the light on the ground is enough to tell her everything that she needs to know. the attack is coming, and there's nothing that can be done. dragonite is fast. physis isn't much faster. she can do the math. in fact, she could. she's spent a good chunk of sophia rosenburg's life calculating beam trajectories at pax. much more difficult without a calculator, but so much more rewarding -
(don't look away, darling)
the hyper beam finds a target. its direction is true.
that's about all that can be said about the attack.
the mamoswine had forced himself to turn back despite the onslaught of attacks. the enemy isn't important. the enemy never was. sophia rosenburg - she is important. she is all that is left of a dead age, one that intends to stay dead. phillip charges in the direction of the hyper beam-
the attack blasts away chunks of its gooey scourge flesh. the wave of water does little to reseal his wounds.
mamoswine goes into bloodrage. his war cry is what finally snaps physis out of her shock.
fuck.
phillip needs to survive thalia. he has to.
she doesn't need protecting. she doesn't, because she's going to run. she's going to run far, far away from this place. it's the only thing that she can do.
physis doesn't even give the bloodrage mamoswine a chance to attack. she makes the choice that she should have made at the amberwell a week prior. the choice that she should have made for her froslass partner.
she makes the right choice.
she scrambles to make a grab for the mamoswine before he charges off. she draws the psychic sign and wills every bit of herself to transport them to safety.
At some point, his eyes closed. Kaz felt his own adrenaline yank at Ahuda, pulling her away from the woman whom he now understood to be named Physis. The two of them went down, Kaz's hip absorbing most of the impact. He paid no mind to the pain as he scrambled to his feet, his eyes searching for Physis.
She had found him first, and Kaz could feel her staring at him with something like contempt. Even he was surprised with himself. After a brief moment, Kaz pulled his eyes away from her, his own still saddened after his defeat by her. He glanced at Ahuda, nodding his head sharply in reply.
The two of them were preparing to leave, defeated by Thalia, her name was. Nevertheless, Kaz's heart rate remained as Physis teleported away with her massive Mamoswine that had single handedly crushed him. He sighed with something between admiration for Thalia and relief. nette
All too soon, they're done, or almost done. The blue-haired man mentions retreating, backing away from this battle against Thalia, that they will lose. The woman whose name is Physis, Ahuda learns, does not move, does not respond, not even to the hyper beam that shoots her way with a flash of light and deadly accuracy. It is only when her partner, the scourge mamoswine that remains so loyal to the agent - why? is the question ringing through her head - that she moves, pulls a styler to do... something. Ahuda doesn't have time to move her own before she draws a sign and they blink out of existence, teleporting away to somewhere else.
Ahuda lowers her styler arm, which still hurts from the grip it had been under before Kaz ripped her away. She glances towards the only hades left now, wondering what he will do, before she looks to Thalia, and finally to Kaz.
She wants to ask if he's alright, seeing as they both fell on mostly him, but she merely grinds her teeth and turns her gaze back to the blue-haired man with his gengar.

they asked for blood, what do you think this woman's made of?
They were always so brave, those agents. Always full of talk and bluster, especially when they had someone cornered. But the moment the tide shifted, they were out. Wanton killing and indiscriminate dealing of pain was fine. As long as it didn't happen to them. Never them.
Thalia recalled her dragonite, who was looking unsteady, but kept her umbreon out. She turned to look at the other EOS members.
They were gone, leaving the trio of Eos members alone in front of the Amberwell. Kaz looked over at the calm, untouched surface and felt the guilt he'd assumed lifting off of his shoulders. It was fine. He hadn't failed entirely.
He nodded to Thalia, taking a deep breath. He'd been unprepared. "Yeah. Thank you, so much. Had it not been for you..." his eyes drifted back over to the Amberwell, then to Ahuda. "I'm Kaz." he looked back at Thalia with gratitude. nette
She breathes. Closes her eyes, lets her styler rest once more in its holder, relaxes. When she opens them, she knows what she will see. This part of the clearing where the Amberwell is will be a complete mess, torn and bloody from a war waged. But it will be safe.
She opens her eyes, and gives a tired smile to Thalia. "I'm good. Thank you, Thalia." Then she's turning towards Kaz, looking concernedly over his form. She can't imagine that he'd be fine after something like... this.
(to be honest, she isn't fine either, and as she goes to kneel by the politoed she feels her heart go cold again)
"Arceus, what happened, Kaz?" she asks from where she is instead of how are you?, because there was no point. Better to focus on what was important - and that was the Amberwell. "When I arrived, you were already fighting that woman in the mask."
they asked for blood, what do you think this woman's made of?
"I'm Thalia," she said to Kaz. "I would say nice to meet you, but I'd hate to lie. It would have been nice to meet you somewhere else though, I'm sure."
After that she stepped back as the two talked. They were obviously previously acquainted, and she fell silent as Ahuda asked her questions of the man, although she listened intently to the answer. She knew that agent, after all. She was interested as well.
Kaz nodded softly, trying to smile despite the circumstances. He could feel his hands trembling. "Yeah, I think a cup of coffee would have done the trick." At least he wouldn't feel so indebted to Thalia had she simply handed him the creamer or something.
"I don't know, really." he muttered, turning to Ahuda. He stared vacantly into space as he thought back to his arrival -- what had happened? "I was really just trying to get through Ceres untouched, so I made my way here. You'd think that Scourge and such wouldn't want to come here..." his voice trailed. Why had the woman been here? Surely she knew the risks. He doubted that she alone could have somehow destroyed the Amberwell. "And she was already here, just staring at the Amberwell. I couldn't just keep going." he frowns as he looks at the Politoed. Not everything was saved. nette The worst 2 weeks ever have ended c:
"Yeah. The Amberwell isn't really that safe nowadays. Too many scourge getting too bold."
Ahuda draws in a breath, before sighing. As much as she'd like to stay and chat, she can't afford to delay Lyre's treatment any longer. She gathers him up in her arms, carefully balancing the additional weight, before nodding to the two others in the clearing with her. "Sorry, but I've gotta run. My assist needs medical attention."
And then she's gone, pelting through the forest towards Juturna.
