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.

It's not Verte's first time near the sea. But it is her first time in Proserpina, and it is her first time in the Warehouse where nothing is stirring. There are shadows in the corners, lurking and moving as the sunlight filters through the windows, and Athena is on her shoulder, poised and easily riding as the trainer moves.
It's quiet. Much too quiet, for somewhere that's supposed to be brimming with life and pokemon. Well, perhaps something had scared them off? Verte wouldn't know.

scarlette was in the warehouse, her pokemon practicing attacks. they were taking a break now, sitting down and eating something. when she heard footsteps, scar instinctively shut her helmet glass. corona jumped forward in an attempt to protect her, but she nudged the eevee back. nova took his place, back fire flaring up.
it was just a blonde girl. oh. scarlette saw the zorua, and whipped out her pokedex. she scanned it, nudging nova with her foot. "what're you doing here?" she called. "who are you?"
She turns around at the sight, to take in a woman with a helmet and two pokemon at her feet. Verte relaxes her frame from the tenseness, the readiness to move herself and Athena out of the way, and faces the woman fully. She has a pokedex in her hand, and Verte relaxes even further at that. Scourge don't have pokedexes.
"I could ask the same of you," she retorts, raising a blond eyebrow. The eevee and the cyndaquil, she doesn't even glance down at. They're not in her line of sight, anyway. "D'Verte, if you must know," she says anyway, her attention drawn to the crates around them. She doesn't know why the strange woman has a helmet, but Verte wouldn't care anyway. "And please do leave Athena alone - if you wanted an entry, you could have just asked."
Said pokemon is looking curiously at the contraption, leaning forward as far as she could without falling, and the pokemon on the ground only warrants a glance before her gaze is back on the red... thing.

nova waddles forward to the zorua, gesturing upwards with her little stub arms. "scarlette." is all that she offers, walking back to where the eevee was crouched in the corner. she scoops it up into her arms, running her fingers through the fur. "apologies."
Scarlette? Verte stows the name away in her mind, nodding to the newly-named person in front of her. She can't read anything with the helmet on, but it's courtesy anyway. "Accepted," she says in return, and lets Athena down before she can injure herself straining her muscles. The Zorua heads for the Cyndaquil on the ground first, tilting her head curiously and barking at it. Verte ignores her pokemons' antics, and leans against a particularly sturdy crate neraby, crossing her arms.

nova nudges the zorua with her nose, squeaking. her back fire flared slightly, warming the zorua in the cold weather. "training. i was hoping to encounter some wild pokemon." she put away the pokedex for now, leaning against the concrete wall. "why are you here?"
"The same reasons," Verte says, and watches the fire-type warm her fellow pokemon. It's cold out, so obviously having a fire-type would be a good idea. Verte entertains the idea of buying, or adopting, one herself.
Then her attention is drawn to the two pokemon that come staggering down the lane of crates - a pansage and a spinda, here to take advantage of the shelter from the cold. They don't seem to pay attention to the humans near them, instead heading straight for the hearth that is the Cyndaquil on the ground.
Verte watches with a raised eyebrow at Scarlette. She's not moving if she doesn't have to - she's too tired to - so she stays put where she is.

scarlette aimed the pokedex at the pansage first, scanning the pokemon. she turns to d'verte, wondering whether or not the other would want to catch one.
it seemed a little cruel to attack pokemon just seeking warmth from her pokemon. but it was a cruel world indeed, and scarlette was not merciful.
perhaps she would just scan them first and then jump them.
The woman aims her pokedex at the pokemon, again, and Verte watches as she does so. It's a curious little thing, working quickly and not much time passes before Scarlette is facing her again.
Verte waits for but a moment before she makes a hand gesture to Athena, and the Zorua is quick to respond, dashing from where she was just a moment before to stand before her trainer. "If you don't mind," Verte throws over to Scarlette, before she motions for Athena to go ahead anyway.
The trainer watches from her position, still slouched against her crates, as the pokemon luges forward eagerly, pent-up energy spilling out into this impromptu fight.

scarlette sighs. it would be worth more if it were scourge. she faintly wishes she kept a small vial of virus with her, if it were in a tangible form. nova puffs up her chest, proud.
Well, that was anticlimatic. On an impulse Verte throws a pokeball at the downed spinda, watching the red light engulf it and tuck it away in its impossible space. Athena picks it up and handed it to her trainer triumphantly, and Verte only gives a smirk at her pokemon's antics.
Verte glances towards the researcher. "That didn't take very long," she comments, picking up Athena and tucking away the pokeball into her pocket. She nods towards the cyndaquil on the ground. "Your pokemon has good form. Have you trained with it much?"
