[Action spam? Action spam! Your new roommate has just arrived, Kyon.
Red enters the apartment and stays quiet in the middle of it, taking it all in. It feels weird being back in a close space after so many years in the mountain.
Pikachu, meanwhile, jumps from his trainer's shoulders and starts sniffing around the new place.]
[Kyon has been sitting on the living room couch, pretending to work on his homework and in actuality not doing much of anything, when the two arrive. When he hears the door open he speaks, nonchalantly, without looking up.]
Condolences on getting admitted to this madhouse. Ah, I've taken over the room on the right, so I suppose you'll have the bedroom to the left... in any case, I think I'm probably pretty easy to live with. My name is...
[He finally looks up, a welcoming smile on his face, and then leaps to his feet with an expression of complete shock on his face.]
P-PIKACHU?
[This boy grew up in Japan in the late nineties. It's safe to say that his new roommate is a familiar face...]
[Red arches an eyebrow at the "madhouse" comment, not that Kyon can see it. His eyes go to stare at the door on the left -his "new room"- but his attention goes back to his roommate when he hears the shocked voice.]
...you know Pokémon too. [Make up your mind already, New Moore people. The hospital staff weren't this nice, but the network commenters did know! WHAT'S THIS MADNESS.]
[While he may be most accustomed to seeing Red as a sprite on a tiny-screen, the recognition on his face is immediate.]
Ah... yes. I know that we've never met, Red-san, but... in some circles, you are quite famous. Although, I admit, I'd never expected to see you in person.
[Still looking as though he's afraid he's going crazy, Kyon bows in formal greeting, first to Red and then to Pikachu.]
Pikachu. Sorry if I startled you. While Pokemon are famous where I come from, I have never met one before.
[Red doesn't know what a "san" is, but he can buy being famous - Champions usually are, after all. And his story matches John's.
Alright, so people here know about Pokémon because of legends or something. Red can deal with that. Not what he wants (more trainers) but better than nothing.
Where he comes from, bowing it's just for real important people, so he's a bit surprised at the boy doing it. Red quickly waves his hands, a silent plead to stop.]
[Distracted by the adorable antics of Pikachu, Kyon gives his hated nickname absent-mindedly, without even thinking. Damn! Is even he beginning to forget his real name?]

Pika-ka! Pikachu! [It's alright, Kyon, Pikachu says. Don't mind if he does some sniffing on you; it turns out you're nice after all, right?]

Noticing Kyon's distraction because of the curious Pikachu, he thinks it's for the wrong reasons.]
...he's harmless.
[Unless Red wanted to kill you, which would require just an order... but don't worry about that.]
