The world used to be normal. It’s now 2050. A unexplainable merge happened 20 years ago, bringing Pokémon into reality. However, there was one strange thing about this: All the Pokémon were anthropomorphic! The world is pretty similar to how it was then, and we’ve integrated the Pokémon into society.

You’ve just been signed up for the world famous “Capsaicin Cook-Off”, a competition to cook the spiciest meals possible for a chance of fame. You brought a bag of Carolina Reapers, the world’s hottest pepper, to assure your victory. You look around at your competition, noticing a Scovillain spitting into an average bowl of soup with both of her mouths.

Caroline: “Keep spitting, sis! We can’t let these weaklings win!”

Bonnet: “I-I’m trying, sis! My mouth just feels so dry!”
