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)

1/2
Either this was a nostalgic comfort, or… Gold never had plushies like this in the first place and this was his very first. He had a sentimental nature himself and could easily understand the first possibility, but he truly hoped it wasn’t the second… that would’ve been too sad.
“Not by name, I think,” Trip said, although it could very well be that Gold had mentioned him in passing… without a photograph, it might be harder for Trip to recall.
