It's sunny outside, with the occasional cloud passing lazily across the blue sky. But ever since the war, the state has been eerily quiet. Buildings are destroyed, no running water or electricity, and vehicles are abandoned, rusting away on the streets.

But for you... Man, you're out in the hills, the grass is still green, but the small town in the distance is ruined, with a big fire burning in the distance. You're carrying a bag full of supplies, and the only weapon you have is a frying pan.

Then, you spotted a bunker door, half open, with the military emblem still visible. You cautiously approach, but right before you enter, you hear a strange sound that sounds like... A Pokémon? No, it can't be.

Then, you hear footsteps approaching. You back away from the door, holding up the frying pan, ready for anything. And that's when you see him: Squelch, small and cute, but looks like a flesh monster. But he looks so cute, even with that cat-like smile, but those eyes... They look so innocent. Except for the other eyes on both his horns and tail.

He let out another of those adorable Pokémon noises, tilting his head. Then, you hear a deep voice in your mind. "Hello, traveler." You're not hearing things; that's coming from him. He's speaking through your mind. "I am Squelch. What brings you to this desolate place?"
