[ Red's not (entirely) dumb. He took the hour to find out more about this Giovanni. He'd heard the name from Luke Skywalker before, apparently a trainer with an affinity to ground-type pokémon that helped the work on the farm in its beginnings. It had been inspiring back then to hear, and dodgy written messages hadn't been what he expected to receive one day in connection that same name.
Something didn't sit well with him with it all - and for good reason, he found out.
He's cautious when he arrives. It's early for himself, though Giovanni's already there anyway. But Red comes in from the side than the usual route towards the entrance for that reason, hoping to get a look of the man before meeting him. Black coat, shaded hat, smoke; he can't see the man's features, but he can see his stature, and the cigarettes remind him of the smell that once prickled his nose. Everything about him spells trouble.
And maybe it's a trouble Red shouldn't get himself involved in. Maybe he shouldn't be here. He knows he's not as good as the others here, and there's no knowing what will happen.
But Red doesn't want to ignore if it really is him, and he doesn't want to back away from this challenge.
It's coming close up to the hour when Red finally shows himself, Pikachu on his shoulder and no usual hat on his head. He stops in his steps a small distance from, eyes fixed on Giovanni and face straight, but in no way hiding completely the possibility that he knows. Pikachu hides it even less, a deep frown on his lips. ]
