Bede: Difference between revisions

|type={{t|Fairy}} and {{t|Psychic}} types

'''Bede''' (Japanese: '''ビート''' ''Beet'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. He initally [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but is eventually scouted by the [[Gym Leader]] [[Opal]] to succeed her as a {{type|Fairy}} Gym Leader.  

Bede is one of the [[player character|player]]'s [[rival]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. He is a prideful young man who had been personally sponsored by [[Chairman Rose]], who took in Bede when he was a young orphan. While he is competing in the Gym Challenge with the aim of becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, he has been gathering [[Wishing Star]]s in large quantities to help the Chairman realize his ambition. However, in his zealous pursuit of Wishing Stars, Bede brings harm to a historic landmark in [[Stow-on-Side]], and is disowned by Rose and disqualified from the Gym Challenge.

After the player returns from [[Ballonlea]] to [[Hammerlocke]] with the [[Badge#Fairy Badge Galar|Fairy Badge]], Opal notices the sulking Bede and is struck with inspiration, asking him to become her sucessor. Bede reluctantly agrees, beleiving he will become stronger in the process. Bede eventually returns as a [[Gym Leader]], interupting the finals of the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]], demanding to battle the player, staking his career on his victory. After losing, Bede, who had begun to regret accepting Opal's offer, reveals he was planning on using the result of the battle as an excuse to get away from his mentor. However, after hearing the crowd cheer him on despite his loss, he feels obligated to continue training, figuring he will be able to completely take over for Opal soon.
