Rotten Pokemon: Scarlet Spread

When crimson vines coil around the familiar world of Pokemon, and the lovable companions we know turn into twisted monsters, Lin Zhou jolts awake from a drunken stupor to find himself in a reality more terrifying than any nightmare.

The Pidgey here have no wings, only limbs covered in centipede-like barbs. Venusaur's flower buds ooze dark red slime, while man-eating whispers lurk among the vines. Even the gentlest Pikachu has become a predator with pus oozing from its eyes and a cry like tearing metal.

All he has in his pocket is a cheap toy Poke Ball, faintly warm to the touch.

Will he be torn apart by the corrupted Pokemon, or become fertilizer for the crimson vines?

No. Lin Zhou clenches the glowing Poke Ball in his hand.

Even if the world is rotting, he will find the "light" that hasn't yet been swallowed up, even if it means making an enemy of this entire, maddened world.

(An eerie invasion × Pokemon mutations × desperate survival. When childhood memories turn into nightmares that come for your life, will you dare to face this world consumed by crimson?)
