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.

he appears right in front of her. right in front of her.
there is truly nowhere to run, a part of her mind thinks, a part that is not here in this place and time. she barrels into his outstretched arms, and with a shriek like nails on chalkboard she tries to shoulder him out of the way. with her momentum she couldn't stop herself from this, but perhaps with her momentum she can tear herself out of his grip.

"like hell i won't." she steps on his foot, kicks him in the ankle, tries and grab hold of his wrist to twist it backwards. anything to get him off her. hopefully it will work; she doesn't have high hopes for it, though.

she doesn't answer. she's too busy fleeing from the man, feet pounding on the floor. that does not mean that she doesn't hear his question, his philosophical musing.
that does not mean she doesn't stop dead - a hysterical part of her mind laughs at the unwilling pun - at the sight of her sister.
she's standing there, bloodied, out of the floor like she's riding an elevator. she whispers things that she cannot hear. but she can imagine them all the same.
"really, sister? leaving us to die and rot?"
"..." ahuda does not really have anything to say to that, and stands still, hands trembling at her side.

click. click. click. he approaches, but ahuda doesn't turn around.
(there is nowhere else to go, anyway)
when her sister collapses, it is by pure force of will that she stays where she is. it's just a nightmare, is the mantra going through her head, and as she fairly trembles she doesn't turn her head, only speaks.
"she's fine back home. this isn't real."
(turn your head, grin viciously, like the thing, the other side inside you, that's been growing for some time now)

alex disappears, reappearing several feet from where he had just stood. "it isn't that hard to get to ceres." he grins. "it's a lot of forestry. a fire would catch awfully fast."
the fact that he can control the land more easily than she can is... irritating, to say the least. she finds that she doesn't mind, though - it wouldn't be interesting if it wasn't hard.
"do you think that we don't deal with fires all the time?" please. ceres was a popular place for camping. there are a million and one chances for any of the homes to catch on fire. they never do.

the hated gengar is by his side again, and they both move away. but surprisingly, the comment is of more insult than the fact that they keep retreating.
the spear is a polite courtesy, and she picks it up without looking, twirls it in her hand with the ease of long-born practice.
she stops. "you're right. they shouldn't be." she ignores the rather obvious meaning behind it.
she thrusts, point first. the spear is long enough, but whether or not it will hit is up to the jury.

it isn't the real alex, but the spear pierces through the apparition. the resistance of a spear through the body is apparent, the sound is loud, echoing. the first few drops of blood seep down from his chest.
the fake alex coughs. a hand reaching up to grasp the spear. blood falls out of his mouth as he coughs again, eyes huge and horrified.
they morph with his mouth into a grin.
"you killed me." he whispers. "little girl is all grown up."
with that, the fake alex's hand falls and his body goes limp. blood pools at his feet, dripping down from the gaping wound in his chest. his eyes are blank, lifeless.
the real alex watches from the shadows, invisible.
she keeps her weapon there for a moment longer. hears his whispers, sees the life go out of his eyes. when she lets the spear go, he collapses with the haphazard grace of the dead, and the spear clatters to the floor.
his body is at her feet. her family is safe. beka is safe. she should be proud, happy, even. she's not.
LURhxbQq <15 realizes something's wrong
she wants to throw up.
ahuda comes back to herself. backs away, away from the pool of blood starting to flow, flood over the floor, staining the mosaic tiles.
there's a corner of her mind idly wondering where the gengar went, but she ignores that in favor of the nauseous feeling she's getting, and she claps a hand over her mouth as she continues to back away.
he can feel her struggle. but the virus is pumping through his veins, and his arms lock on. "ahuda... just come into my embrace." he whispers.
