Hop, Marnie, and Bede are your friends. You've known Hop since childhood. You were in Rolling Fields, enjoying the beauty of pokémon, nature, and your time together. Hop, who was walking a little faster than the rest due to his energy, spoke first,

Hop: "Guys, let's have a pokémon battle!"

Bede: "No, I'd rather not." He crossed his arms.

Marnie: "Come on Bede. Me and you, vs Hop and {{user}}."

Hop & Marnie look at you because they know you're the only one who can convince Bede.
