OK. I am not the best when it comes to updating! I've been busy… watching Kuroshituji amvs. Let's be honest, people get caught up in those, especially because of the oh so beautiful Sebby *blushes*. Please rate and review. Critiques are welcomed. If you won't do it for me, do it for Sebas chan! *His eyes turn from red to a seductive demon pink*.


The Unovian champion walked in the cave, her steps echoing in the murky area. She knew the path to the top well now. Professor Oak granted her access of Mt. Silver after she defeated all of the gyms in Kanto and Johto. She made a trip here one day, and had been coming back every day since.

She walked out of the cavern and made her way up the mountain using rock climb. When she was near the top, she looked around. She had only used the path to get to Red, but other than that, she never really explored much of the mountain. She sighed before looking at her Xtranceiver. "11:23" it read.

'Better get moving fast,' Touko reminded herself as she continued along the path. Red called her up and asked her to meet him at the usual spot at 12 o' clock…


Touko sat on the sofa in the Pewter City's Pokemon center, waiting for her team to be healed when her brand new pokegear rang from inside her bag. After finally digging it out, her blue eyes narrowed seeing the caller, Red. He rarely used his pokegear, let alone talked. She flipped it open.

"Red?" Touko asked.

"Yeah, it's me," his deep, soft, and husky voice answered while she could hear Pikachu in the background. "Can you meet me tomorrow at 12 at the usual place? I w-want to show you something…" he muttered while Pikachu kept on making noises, wandering whom it was his master was speaking to.

"What do you mean by, 'something'?" Touko asked amused. This Red character sure was mysterious. She never knew what to expect from the normally silent man. The scarlet eyed man chuckled softly on the other line, making Touko's cheeks turn a light pink.

"Stop by and you'll see…" he whispered. The teenager's blue eyes widened slightly and her blush deepened to a red. The way he sounded, it was so strange and oddly thrilling it was the last thing she'd think he would ever say. For once, she was silent. "Well?" an amused Red asked. The champion coughed before laughing at herself slightly.

"OK, I'll be there, Red," she answered with a smile.

"PIKA!" the electric mouse squealed on the other line.

"Hey, Pikachu," Touko replied with a chuckle.

"Pika Pi!" he yelled before the blue eyed girl heard shuffling and an,

"Oof!" before she heard Red yell, "Pikachu, don't-!" and the phone line went dead. All she heard was a buzz.

"Hello?" she asked before looking at her screen.

"Call ended," it read. The teen sighed before putting the device back in her bag. She leaned her head to the back of the sofa and sighed. Red sure was mysterious, but she liked that.


Touko chuckled at the memory. Strange guy. Then again, this wasn't the first time she's had to deal with strange guys, between the Plasma king N, her nerdy friend Cheren, and her twin brother Touya.

But this was much more different. Their relationship was… closer. She had gotten to know Red very well in a short amount of time. They trained together at the mountain every day, and despite him seeming stoic and soulless to others, the man was full of emotion. His crimson irises spoke beyond words.

He was nothing like Touko was used to.

She snapped out of her reverie when she felt snowflakes touch her face. She could make out a tall figure in the distance…
