There was no particular reason that the ravenet had showed up in Cerulean City, really- he’d simply been traveling, and the settlement was where he had landed. It was strangely quiet, though, and he couldn’t remember it having been this quiet in the past. Of course, he hadn’t even been in the city more than a small handful of days at most, and perhaps time had changed the hustle and bustle to serenity, but the change was still strange to behold. Not bad, mind you, just strange. Shrugging it off as perhaps just some sort of strange occurrence, he let his gaze wander northwards to the cape. That was where Bill lived, wasn’t it?
Without even meaning to, the champion began to wander in the cape’s direction, though upon realizing it, did not stop. He had nowhere else to go, after all, and instead busied himself with looking at the scenery. Soon enough, he reached the cape, having bypassed Bill’s house on the way up (Bill was in Johto now, wasn’t he? Who told him that, though, he wasn’t sure), and quickly scanned over the surrounding area. Said area was empty, save for two figures lying on the ground- a psyduck and an orangette, both being vaguely familiar in an odd sort of way.
Curious as to why the stranger looked even the slightest bit familiar, the ravenet slowly wandered over, remaining careful not to step in between the sunlight and the actual girl herself. Before he could get a good look at her face, though, a soft sound caught his attention, and, curious, he wandered a few steps in the direction from which it came, unknowingly now blocking the sunlight from reaching the orangette woman. An oddish, small and timid, popped its head out of the bushes for all of two seconds before fleeing once more, disappearing into the undergrowth. However, there was no time to pay the small pokemon’s disappearance any mind, as a feminine voice reached Red’s ears and caused him to turn around.
Misty. The recognition was immediate once he actually saw her face (and hearing her voice helped, too, even if it had changed a bit), and Red blinked for a moment, then slowly raised his hand in greeting. Beautiful day? It was sunny, cloudless, and warm, and so suited most people’s criteria perfectly. It wasn’t his idea of a perfect day, but he could appreciate the weather nonetheless, and so nodded in response, casting a second glance around to double check. Briefly, it registered in his mind that oh, yes, he was blocking the sunlight, and he stepped out of the way immediately, bowing slightly in apology. Silent and stoic as usual, he simply tilted his head at the gym leader (or was she still gym leader? He didn’t know) and awaited her own reaction.
