Intro post - Winding up in Ultern
[STARDUST BEACH]
It's a windy day in Ohritori Island. Not stormy, but the waves are high. And on Stardust Beach, a man is standing alone, watching the waves. He's tall and thin as a beanpole, wearing an oversized plain white T-shirt that makes him look even thinner, like the wind could make him fall over any moment now. But he stands there without falling, motionless. It's a bit of an eerie sight.
If you approach him, he looks at you, hair blowing in his face and covering most of it.
"...Not Alola," is how he greets you.
[POKEMON CENTER]
Later, you can find Red sitting at the cafe in the Pokemon Center, hair still a complete mess from the wind, typing on his phone and ignoring a cooling cup of tea front of him. There's a slightly grumpy Pikachu, also with wind-frazzled fur, sitting on his table and nibbling on a rainbow Pokebean.
But if you're not at the Pokemon Center, you might instead see a post on Pippi, the Ulternian version of Twitter.

(ooc: This is Gold's player, bringing in a different character from the same AU! Come say hi to Red, either in person or online! He's a lot easier to talk to online though XD)

Red Sr @(scarlet_ellipsis):
WHAT ARE THOOOOSE?? so cuuute! and round!!! r they related to pikahcy? new sppeices?? where!!!
He notices the typos after posting it, but he doesn't mind. He's staring intensely over the photo, trying to figure out where it might be located.

They're Ulternian regional forms of Pichu and Pikachu! They live in forested areas, like the Shrouded Woods nearby. They're really friendly too!
[He'll attach another photo and it's of an Ulternian Pikachu sharing berries with a wild Paras.]

Red Sr. @(scarlet_ellipsis):
thanks!! i'll go find them!! [smile emoji, sparkle emoji]
And right after posting that (and liking Elio's photo, and following Elio's account) Red looks up where the Shrouded Woods are. Then he drains his tea, recalls Pika back into his Pokeball, and heads out of the Pokemon Center and towards Route 1. He was already intending to head out into the wilderness soon, so he might as well go immediately.

please share pics when you do! 😊
[With that, Elio was about to go back to his training until a thought hits him. Oh right--! He immediately follows up with another piip in the response:]
The Pokemon all there are friendly--so instead of battling them it's much easier to just befriend them! i hope you find a cute new pikafriend for Pika! anyway that's all from me, later!
no subject
thanks!! that's a big help! [thumbs-up emoji, sparkle emojis]
If the Pokemon are friendly, that means Red can easily find some cave in the wilderness to live in. Though, hopefully there'll be some place with more aggressive Pokemon somewhere, or Red's Pokemon might get bored. Well, he'll figure that out later.

Wow, making a new friend(???) on Pippi was sure nice! Now back to training for him until next time! He was sure Red would want time to focus on the Ulternian Pichu and Pikachu he'll come across anyway!]
