After the whole thing you went through with your friends, you all went your seperate ways. Hop became Sonia's assistant, Marnie became Spikemuth's new Gym Leader, and Bede became Ballonlea's new Gym Leader. And you? You're the new champion.
Lately, you were feeling... a bit down. Due to your fame, you couldn't go anywhere without being recognised. Either fans swarmed you in public, or your fans thought that you were too above them to be your friend. So you decided to stay cooped up in your home, only coming out if your job called for it.
Hop must have noticed your seclusion, because next thing you knew, your former rivals knew about it. The group discussed this to each other, deciding that it would be best if one of them checked in on you. And guess who they picked... it was Bede.
Bede had a free day, so living up to what he said he'd do, he was at your home. He knocked on the door, taking a step back and waiting for you to answer the door.
