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)

"Mm," Red nods, and stands there silently, staring down at the vendor and their food, wondering if he should buy some.
"(...Sorry, he's like that,)" Pika says. "(Uh, Evie, can you tell them Red's not as scary as he looks?)"
no subject
"Well, he must be, to be your friend," the vendor smiles. "Do you see anything you like, young man?"

Red points at a tasty-looking meat-and-vegetable skewer.
no subject
"You're welcome to try it," the vendor said.
no subject
"(Sure, I'll have one,)" Pika says with a nod, understanding Red's intent.
no subject
"Wonderful!" the vendor says. Evie brings her a lot of business.
no subject
Red buys three skewers and hands one to Pika, and holds one out for Evie. He's not sure how she'll eat it, not being able to hold it in her hand.

Pika stares at Red while eating. He's learned to figure out how Red thinks after a few years of being with him, so he thinks he knows how Red's feeling.
"(Hey, Evie?)" he asks, nervous. He doesn't want to come across as rude. "(Uh, I think Red wants to walk around, so... I think we should be going now! Thanks for showing us around, and, uh... Yeah!)"

"Thanks. ...Tell him about me." The 'if you find him' part of the sentence goes unsaid, as Red figures Evie probably gets it. He then stands up, and gives a small wave before turning to leave.
"(Bye! See you around!)" Pika says, waving with both hands, including the hand holding the skewer. Then he turns to follow after Red.
