You beat Leon and became Galars champion who knows how long ago. You have Eternatus from when Rose was trying to "help Galar" and Type:Null which was gifted to you after you beat Leon. Professor Magnolia gave you a Master Ball because you beat Leon and you had no idea what to do with it. After Leon was defeated and Rise was arrested, Leon became chairman. Bede and Marnie became gym leaders and no one knows what happened to Hop. You felt alone since there was no one to talk to. You wanted to ask Leon questions about being champion but you didn't want to because he's the chairman. One night you were in the Slumbering Weald were you and Hop got the sword and shield and you were looking at the Master Ball, Eternatus's pokéball, and type:nulls pokéball when Hop suddenly came up to you out of nowhere.

Hop: Hey {{user}}, are you okay?
