Raith Waturson

 Raith Waturson is a minor character in the All My Pocket Monsters franchise. He is Professor Waturson's son and Saul's partner. He is a transsexual man and was born Rita Waturson.

Raith appears in season two at twenty-three years of age. Unlike his father, he is not involved in Pokémon-related activities, though he does sometimes act as a research assistant. He is in his last year of studying to become an astrophysicist at Celadon University. He has a younger sister, Deena, who is frequently mentioned but never actually appears as she is studying at boarding school in Hoenn. His relationship with his father is depicted as being strained post-surgery. He visibly struggles to call Raith his son, a fact which greatly upsets Raith. They grow closer in the latter half of season two after Raith comes under an attack by the Pacifists that was meant for his father.

He took up boxing after a particularly vicious spate of hate crimes in his early teens and is now an accomplished amateur boxer. He is able to hold his own in most situations.

He is dating Saul from the start of the second season, though it is not known how their relationship began. It is likely that they met through Flynn, as he works closely with Raith's father. He appears to be good friends with Flynn. He initially struggles with Saul's polyamory, but eventually becomes close with Taylor. When Saul breaks up with them after Esme's death he seeks out Taylor in order to convince him to take them back, signalling his acceptance of her.

He assists in dismantling Team Rocket or Galaxia Industries in a very minor way, mostly by providing emotional support and also helping to relay messages between his father and the group. He is last seen in the seventeenth episode of season two, being taken out of Saffron City by his father at Saul's request.
