[approach him????? of course he's going to approach him!!!!!! this lil guy didn't earn all 16 badges in order to climb all 4 floors of the secluded summit packed with awful weather that Red stood atop for all those years to NOT approach him!!
Gold casually strides up to Red, tilting his head a little to just kind of ... take him in. whoa. his idol looked ... different. rather than jumping straight to greeting the other man, he just needed to take a moment to ogle him. wow ... he looked. really great? for a dead guy. how'd he get so buff? he knew about Alola through following Blue's social media - that explains the tan. the last time Gold saw him in the flesh was when he was a lanky, skinny guy on the snowy peak. clearly Alola has done him the world of good.
was he grinning? he's absolutely grinning. ]
Seems like only yesterday we had our battle in the snow, huh? I'm really happy to see you, Red. [ he scratches the back of his head bashfully. ] Apart from the, uh, circumstances.
[Pika pika! and how can Gold resist crouching back down to greet Pikachu again!? ]
And you! I'm happy to see you too, Pikachu! [ from his crouched position on the floor, the Johto trainer glances up at Red. ] It's really him, right? I mean - I can kinda tell. But how'd you get him back? Did he come here with you? I've, uh ... arrived here without any of my Pokémon... and I'm kinda freaking out about it, haha... [ nervous laugh who?? ah he can't help himself, he's so fucking stoked to see Red that he'll just channel his anxiety wherever it needs to go. right now this is in the form of wiggling his finger while Pikachu nibbles on it. ]
