i was gonna intro a few characters but whatev'

[battler_red]

[Oh hey look, it's a special!Red! He's just sitting in the CMA, wondering about something he was saying to Misty earlier.]

Y'know... there really are a lot of 'Red's here, huh? I wonder what's so different about us.

Maybe our teams or something? [It's weird to think about. I mean, they're all 'Red', so what can honestly be so different about them

Comments

[monologing]

[And suddenly! Bike riding Red passing on by, whistling the bicycle theme.]

[battler_red]

[Oh hey, that's pretty catchy! He hasn't rode his bike in a while, now that he thinks about it.

He looks sorta... different from him. Maybe it's just appearance that varies in different versions?]

Oh, hey!

[monologing]

[Ping! His eyes meets with Red. Oh, is it pokemon battle time? He'll have his pokeball out just in case. Do battle? No battle? Which? Which? OUR EYES MET. Then again people are different here....]

.....

[battler_red]

Huh? [He's just sort of eyeing that Pokeball. Why'd he bring it out? Unless...]

... You wanna battle?

[golden_echo]

[He heard you there as he passes by. So have a Hibiki stopping in his tracks right now.]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

[battler_red]

Yeah? [That's right, Gold has different versions of him, too.] You do look like one of my friends, it must get confusing sometimes.

[golden_echo]

Sure does! I can't tell who's who now!

[battler_red]

[He just laughs.] Maybe we could ask everyone to wear name tags.

[mischiefbreeder]

[Hey look, Red! It's Gold!

...He's probably a lot taller than you remember. You know, as in he's taller than you now.]

A lot of 'em look pretty different from you, Red.

[battler_red]

[That... definitely is taller than what he remembers. Oh god.]

Really? You're looking pretty different than usual too, Gold. You've gotten way taller!

[mischiefbreeder]

Heh, well, I've had a few years to grow on! [He looks quite proud of this.]

[battler_red]

I can tell! [Man, this island and it's time shenanigans.] So how old are you now?

[brbtraining]

[A very different version of you is out today. And even if he only got them since being on the island, the baby Pichu and still young Donphan are definitely foreign looking to his party.]

[battler_red]

[You are definitely different, he hasn't seen a version like you yet.] Huh, I haven't see a me with a Pichu or a Donphan before.

[brbtraining]

[Pichu's chillin' on his hat and Donphan was just done running some exercises.

Oh hey, an other!self. He generally likes his other!selfs]

... I just, yah know... got 'im. [an indignant noise from the steel-groudn type] --well, since... yah know, coming here, I mean.

[battler_red]

Really? Neat. Where'd you get them?

[mr_neutral]

[He met one really creepy Red today, and managed to avoid one wearing all black....but this Red doesn't look strange so he feels 'why not meet him? I'm bored enough'.]

Well, I met a version of me who is identical to me in appearance ['sort of... he's not as masculine as me'] except he's more soft spoken and timid and really loves bug pokemon. The other me I met was female... I haven't met any other 'Me's besides those two. [Hat tilt] I met a Red, and we're good friends. If you seen anyone make a bike disappear at will, that's him.

[battler_red]

Yeah, a female version of yourself would be pretty weird.[Oh, yeah. He's seen that one.] I think I've seen him, I was wondering where his bike went. [He laughs.]

[mr_neutral]

It was weird at first because she was very much a tomboy, but she's pretty cool in her own unique way. [He chuckles] I still don't know how he does that with his bike, but I stopped questioning it after awhile. My name is Touya, by the way.

[battler_red]

I guess that's what's cool about alternates. They usually aren't you exactly. I'm Red! But... I guess you already knew that, huh?
