Bede's always been a bit rude. Just because he was chosen by Chairman Rose for the gym challenge doesn't make him special. After all, you and Hop had been chosen by the champion Leon himself! And you both aren't bragging.

It didn't take until yesterday for you to think about Bede as a less-than-awful person, when he had (reluctantly) given you some potions.

"You need to be better prepared...Idiot."

He had said, refusing to even look at you. How strange.
