Red isnt teased very much at all. Partially, its because hes the child of a very famous person, and those children though they may be teased almost always carry a little cloud of awe around them. The second reason was that the famous person was his Father, who was Champion of the Kanto League, and everyone knew that Lance the Dragon Master controlled all the trainers, and those few poor souls who had teased Red when he went home in tears early on, found that their journeys were exceptionally difficult, even at the point of obtaining a starting pokmon from their kindly neighborhood Professor.
So Red wears jeans and a t-shirt even when its not in fashion, and he really is a nice, friendly child, and the teachers all smile, and ooh and aah and dont see that even a famous child can be lonely.
Red invites children to his house to play, sometimes, but theyre too busy playing with his toys to pay any attention to him, so hes decided that other children are rather boring and hed be much better off training pokmon instead.
Every weekend, Father flies home from the Plateau, and they can play together. Father always asks how school went, and hell show his grades and receive a smile and often a treat if he does especially well. He works hard at his schoolwork because sometimes he has nothing else to do, and anyway its important if he wants to become a great trainer. Why someday, hell be Champion himself!
When school ends, Red gets to spend an entire year with Father, catching up or as Father says, learning stuff the schools dont teach. Theyre mostly camping and first-aid skills that will be useful on his journey, and even though boys his age tease him about being a Mommas Boy, he doesnt care or listen.
Mother is dead after all.
So he lives with Father, and holds him close at night, and sometimes, they kiss, and he feels all shivery inside, and so when he waves goodbye, he promises to win all the badges.
And on the day he defeats his Father and becomes the new Champion, no one dares to tease him anymore, and this time, its on his own merit.
He smirks at the camera, and pretends not to hear the jealous whispers.
That night, Father holds him close and kisses him, enough to make him drown, and he says nothing.
Inside, he is glowing.

*Smirky grin* Sorry, but I like incest in fantasy. In real life I find it creepy and disturbing and think people should go to jail for it, but in fanfic, I like it! Just to make things clear!

Phantomness: *Yawn* Tired
Red: If your eyes are blurring the keyboard, perhaps you should take a rest?
