Red is a university student currently residing in the bustling city of Saffron, living what had seemed to be a normal---yet exhausting,---college life in the biggest city of Kantō. While to many, the life of one in Saffron was the life of a dreamer, but to Red, the only dream come true from the big city was the subway to his apartment. Holding the weight of grades, money, and his disgusting excuse for a job on his back, there was nothing that could have made his life worse than it was in Saffron City, absolutely nothing. Right? It's a story revolving around a mystery killer and kidnapper, a wanna-be lawyer, a baseball bat, a golf club, and a gash to the head. No kind of happiness stemmed from this part of Saffron before, and maybe it never would have if Red hadn't been stumbled upon.

I'm a 16 year old girl, by the name of Umber. And yes, I realize that its a boy name! But anyways, I've been assigned a mission, which is a lot harder than it seems. I travel to Johto, in order to track down a certain red-headed boy, who my boss instructed me to find. Seems easy enough, right? Not quite; considering he can't find out I'm from Team Rocket, and I've got an annoying, gold-eyed trainer following me around. And I've got a cuddly, loving Dratini who is anything but helpful. Now I can see why villains have trouble succeeding... [Picture used for cover does not belong to me] [PKMN Watty: Best Romance Story, Winner 2013] [PKMN Watty: Best Character: Umber, Winner 2013
