Saffron was a beautiful city. Nestled as it was between several other cities, it was a major traveling point for many a young trainer and businessman alike. The atmosphere always remained a unique mixture that no other place had been able to grasp.
There was the din of tourists; busy people taking a break from the city that never slept, beneath that was the somber air of those looking back on old journeys as they moved east to give an ally--hopefully no more than one--its eternal rest.
Mingled with the human air was the natural forces at work. Sea air occasionally wafted across the southern half of the city, caught upon a strong wind rising from Virmilion.
Ann Kale closed her eyes and took a deep breath from her place atop the police building's roof, enjoying this hearty mix. But what she sought was not this, but what she perceived lay hidden under it; the darker activities that took place in alleys and behind closed doors. Behind one such door, she hoped to find a friend, and bring him to the light.
Stiff fur brushed against her leg, the Linoone giving a soft purr-like sound. She smiled faintly to him, and stretched the mask over her face and tying it behind her head. "Just this one last try, Lin'. I have to at least talk to him one more time."
That was, if she could find him, or any Rocket for that matter. Most of the crime reports seemed to have died down; an odd occurrence if she had ever seen one.
"They have to be here, of all places. They just have to," she muttered to herself. She had left her badge at home for this, and working solo in know enemy territory, the only result that she would not accept would be to find nothing at all.
