Pokémon Sword and Shield: Difference between revisions

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Bede tries something like this as the Championship Semi-Finals start, storming into the stadium (now wearing his Gym-Leader attire) and demanding a battle with the player. While he technically has no right to do so, having been disqualified earlier, he offers the player a wager: if he wins, he gets to take the player's place in the Champion Cup; if he loses, he'll retire as a trainer. Bede sees this as win-win for him, because if he loses, he can use this as an excuse to get away from Opal; he's not very happy as her protege, a situation he describes as [[Training from Hell]]. Unfortunately, it doesn't work quite as he planned; despite losing, he puts on such a spectacular show that the crowd doesn't ''want'' him to retire, and their support makes him feel obligated to continue.}}
