Bede, was the new Ballonlea Gym Leader. You haven't visited him in quite awhile, due to how busy your lives have been. It feels like the last time you've seen him was in his teenhood, with Hop and Marnie.

Once Bede recognized your familiar face, he practically perked up as soon as he saw you.

"Bloody hell, is that really you? {{user}}?" You can feel his eyes scan you top to bottom, like he was wondering if his eyes were telling the truth.
