'''Bede''' (Japanese: '''ビート''' ''Beet'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Hop]] and [[Marnie]]. He initially [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but is eventually scouted by [[Opal]] to succeed her as a {{type|Fairy}} [[Gym Leader]], and thus changes his specialty type accordingly. As the Gym Leader of [[Ballonlea Stadium]], he gives the {{badge|GalarFairy|Fairy Badge}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
Bede is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. He is a prideful young man who had been personally sponsored by [[Rose]], who gave Bede his first Pokémon, later revealed to be his {{p|Hatterene}}, upon visiting his orphanage when he was a child. While he is competing in the Gym Challenge to become {{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 he is disowned by Rose and disqualified from the Gym Challenge.
Bede is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. He is an arrogant, rude young man who had been personally sponsored by [[Rose]], who gave Bede his first Pokémon, later revealed to be his {{p|Hatterene}}, upon visiting his orphanage when he was a child. The player and [[Hop]] first meet him when signing up for the Gym Challenge, though his name is not revealed at the time. While he is competing in the Gym Challenge to become {{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 Rose disqualifies from the Gym Challenge in disappointment.


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 successor. Bede reluctantly agrees, believing he will become stronger in the process. Bede eventually returns as a [[Gym Leader]], interrupting the finals of the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] and 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.

After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player, Hop, and former Gym Leader [[Piers]] head to [[Ballonlea Stadium]] while trying to stop [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], but in the lobby, Bede confidently declares that he has taken care of the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon running rampant in his Stadium already. The player's group attempts to leave but Bede refuses to let them go until he has a battle with the new Champion. After some assurance from Opal, the group decides to indulge Bede. During the battle, Bede acknowledges the player's strength, and after being defeated, accepts them as Champion. A more humble Trainer now, Bede swears he'll overcome his weakness and, in his words, "reach the pinnacle of what Fairy types can do."

:''"I was endorsed by the [[Rose|chairman]] himself."''
Bede forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Hatterene}} and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Articuno}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Hatterene is capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. Bede became a playable sync pair on June 16, 2022.
:''"In other words, among all those elite enough to get an endorsement, I'm the most elite of all."''
:''"So why don't you clear off and not try talking to me again, would you?"''
:''"It's positively criminal of you, wasting the time of someone as important as I am."''

*After the first non-KO hit
:''"I'm just giving your Pokémon a little chance to shine. That's all."''
 
*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Oh dear, what have I been doing? Well, whatever. Let's just get this over with."''
 
*Upon using a special move
:''"This is a good time to test out a move I’ve been interested in lately."
 
*Upon being defeated
:''"I see... Well, that's fine. I wasn't really trying all that hard anyway."''
 
*After being defeated
:''"Well, that was unexpected. I suppose you're more able than I thought."''
:''"Naturally, I'll remember your battle style and strategies now."''
:''"I'm sure to easily defeat you if and when we face each other in an official match."''
:''"Now that we've established that, I won't waste any more time on you."''
:''"I've already gathered every Wishing Star in this area."''
 
;[[Hulbury]]
:''"I promise to do everything in my power to assist you, too, Chairman!"''
:''"Bede, sir."''
:''"I will prove your faith in me was well placed, Chairman. I won't lose to anyone!"''
:''"Anyway, I will be on my way now."''

:''"You again..."''
:''"I'd feel sorry for my Pokémon if I made them take part in a battle against low-level opponents."''
:''"I'm not in the mood to deal with weaklings right now."''
:''"Then again, I suppose it's a form of mercy to crush weak opponents early on."''
:''"If you're under the misguided impression that you're stronger than me, then surely you would be up for a Pokémon battle."''
::'''Naturally!''': ''"It's utterly inconceivable that I, the challenger chosen by the chairman, would lose!"''
::'''Hold on a minute...''':''"Hmph! I've no time to deal with pathetic Trainers!"''
 
*After the first non-KO hit
:''"Hmph. Looks like you've grown a bit. Only a little bit, though!"''
 
*Upon using a special move
:''"It's not every day I get to battle you, so I suppose I may as well try out this move."''
 
*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Excellent! Not everyone can corner my team like this!"''
 
*Upon being defeated
:''"You showed at least a little effort, so I decided I should let you win!"''
 
*After being defeated
:''"Ah, pardon me. It seems I must take back my words."''
:''"You're not weak—you just lack talent. Your chances of completing the Gym Challenge are pretty slim, I must say. Here, I'll give you this. Something to show you at least tried."''
:''"Now, where shall I go next to collect Wishing Stars?"''
 
;[[Wild Area]]
:''"Don't waste your efforts. It's not like either of you would ever make it through the Gym Challenge, anyway."''
:''"The Champion really must have been off his rocker to endorse the likes of you."''
:''"I mean, it seems [[Hop]] here can't even throw a Poké Ball propely."''
:''"How tiresome... Fine. I'll battle you over there. Maybe that will help you finally understand just how weak you are."''
:''"All this prattle about <player> and the Champion and whatnot... Do you not have anything of your own to show?"''
 
;[[Hammerlocke Hills]]
:''"Oh, it's you... I doubt [[Hop]] would be coming. It's only natural."''
:''"After such a humiliating defeat, there's no way he could look the Champion in the eye. I'm sure he'll withdraw from the challenge."''
:''"Here, just look at the Gym Badges I've already won."''
:''"Anyway, I have a meeting with the chairman, so I must excuse myself."''
 
;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"Mr. Chairman! I've been collecting both Wishing Stars and Gym Badges as fast as I can!"''
:''"If I gather enough Wishing Stars, that'll help solve the problem that's been bothering you, right, Mr. Chairman?"''
:''"With all due respect, sir, I was able to show [[Hop]], one of the Champion-endorsed Trainers, just outclassed he was."''
:''"I'm sure I'll be able to defeat the Champion. No, I WILL defeat the Champion!"''
 
;[[Stow-on-Side]]
:''"Destroy it! Destroy it all! We're going to find those Wishing Stars!"''
:''"We've got to bring the chairman more Wishing Stars if we want to please him!"''
:''"Copperajah! If you are truly the chairman's Pokémon, then you should feel grateful for this chance to help him find Wishing Stars!"''
:''"Oh my. You again... So you think that you can start collecting Wishing Stars now and get in the chairman's favor?"''
:''"That's the way of things, is it? I see. So you do have some cunning in you. But I won't have it! I won't allow anyone to stand in my way!"''
 
*After the first KO hit
:''"Hmph. I've already seen more than enough to judge you and your team's abilities."''
 
*Before sending out last Pokémon
:''"I have to win this for the chairman! Do you really think I'd let you keep me from everything I want?"''
 
*After being defeated
:''"This has to be some kind of mistake. I demand a do-over."''
:''"But why...? How can this be? How could someone like you get in my way?"''
:''"I was the one chosen by the chairman... I was the one who was to defeat the Champion..."''
:''"I am one of the elite--someone who can shoulder the future of the [[Galar]] region!"''
 
*After being confronted by Oleana and Chairman Rose
:''"Who cares for some ancient ruin when the next thousand years are at stake?!"''
:''"Did you stand in the path of a Pokémon's Simple Beam or something? How do you expect to support the chairman with that sort of thinking?"''
 
*After being disqualified from his Gym Challenge
:''"You...you must be joking, right? You're disqualifying me from the Gym Challenge? But you're the one who endorsed me! There are a hundred different ways we could sort this out... Why are you choosing the worst possible option?!"''
 
;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"Come to gawk at me now that I've had my Challenge Band taken away and my Gym Challenger status revoked? Can you really afford to waste time like this?"''
*If replied ''"Of course!"''
:''"Well I suppose so. You no longer have to worry about catching up with me, after all."''
:''"I'll have you know, though, that I haven't given up! I must become the Champion in order to help out the chairman! I will go and ask him to let me rejoin the Gym Challenge!"''
 
*After being spotted by [[Opal]]
:''"Huh? Wha--?!"''
:''"M-Ms. Opal? What in the world has gotten into you?!"''
:''"Are you... Are you testing me? Very well, I accept! In fact, I plan on making sure you see my full talents and tell me everything you know about the Wishing Stars!"''
 
;[[Wyndon Stadium]]
 
*Interrupting the finals
:''"A moment, if I may. Does anyone here even remember me? I am Bede, the challenger who was forced to withdraw from the Gym Challenge!"''
:''"I have a score to settle with Challenger <player> here. I'm aware that this is against the rules, but I must ask nonetheless... Let me battle him! I'll stake my career as a challenger on this battle. If I lose, I'll retire from being a Trainer."''
:''"I know this is ridiculous of me. But I had to say something...do something! Ever since you showed up, everything I've done has gone wrong!"''
:''"It was [[Oleana]] who asked me to gather Wishing Stars for the chairman, but then the chairman himself disowned me... And then that strange old lady comes out of nowhere and drags me into a boot camp on Fairy-type Pokémon! Do you have any idea what I've been through?! Covered in pink, dealing with quizzes and battles with Fairy-type Pokémon every day! And here I am, pouring my heart out to you... when I've never lost my cool before!"''
 
:''"My will hasn't been broken yet!"''
 
*After sending out first Pokémon
:''"We've faced too much to quit now! We've got no choice but to win!"''
 
*Before sending out last Pokémon
:''"Tsk! What's with that calm expression... Think you're gonna win?"''
 
* Upon activating [[Gigantamax]]
:''"We'll show you a truly great pink. It's time for my dear Hatterene to Gigantamax!"''
 
* Upon using [[G-Max Smite]]
:''"I learned this move from that old gran! I plan on making it my own!"''
 
*After being defeated
:''"I couldn't win, but at least I was able to show everyone how great Fairy types are."''
:''"Well, I lost..."''
:''"B-but this isn't what I planned! If I was able to defeat you, then everything would be fine. Even if I lost, I was going to use retiring as an excuse to get away from that old lady! You just keep messing up my plans! With everyone cheering me on like this, I have no choice but to continue my training as the Fairy-type Gym Leader! Though I suppose with my talents, I'll be able to overtake Ms. Opal in no time."''
 
;[[Ballonlea Stadium]] ([[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]])
:''"Hmph. You lot."''
:''"You think I, the elite Fairy-type Gym Leader, would have any kind of trouble?"''
:''"Please...please don't tell me you came here to help? First of all, you're a bit late to be of any use, and second, I didn't need any help."''
:''"Oleana tricked and used me... From now on, only I decide how I live! And I think what I should do now is have a battle with you, <player>!"''
:''"Now that you mentioned it...I supposed you did."''
:''"But this has nothing to do with Ms. Opal. This battle's for me! Now don't dillydally! Your only option is to accept!"''
 
*After the challenge is accepted
:''"My Pokémon and I have risen from the ashes... I'll grant you a brief glimpse at how amazing we've become."''
 
*After sending out the first Pokémon
:''"My days as a Gym Leader have made me stronger than you."''
 
*Before sending out last Pokémon
:''"You just might be the strongest Champion in Galarian history."''
 
*If replied "That's right!"
:''"I'll carve my name into Galar's history, too. By defeating you!"''
 
*After losing the match
:''"This must be some mistake! I mean, I'm the one who's the Gym Leader!"''
:''"Thank you for the battle. I can now accept you as the Champion. It's painful to admit, but I've come to realize a few of my weaknesses. But I'll keep getting stronger. I'll reach the pinnacle of what Fairy types can do. "''
 
* After handing his rare League Card
:''"Now then, as the Gym Leader, I will do my duty and clean the stadium."''
 
;[[Wyndon Stadium]] (Champion Cup Rematch)

===Pokémon Adventures===
Bede debuted in [[PASS06]]. He was first seen in front of the [[Galar Mine]], unable to enter due to a large boulder blocking the entrance. [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]], [[Hop]], and [[Marnie]] combined their Pokémon's attacks to move the boulder. After the others went inside, [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]] pointed out that Bede was protecting the boulder and speculated his goal was to obtain [[Wishing Star]]s found inside the mine. Later, everyone gathered at [[Turffield Stadium]], where they each fought a Gym battle against [[Milo]] and won.
Bede debuted in ''[[PASS06|Watch Out!! Strong Rivals]]''. He was first seen in front of the [[Galar Mine]], unable to enter due to a large boulder blocking the entrance. {{Casey}}, [[Hop]], and [[Marnie]] combined their Pokémon's attacks to move the boulder. After the others went inside, {{Henry}} pointed out that Bede was protecting the boulder and speculated his goal was to obtain [[Wishing Star]]s found inside the mine. Later, everyone gathered at [[Turffield Stadium]], where they each fought a Gym battle against [[Milo]] and won.


Later, Bede learned that [[Rose]] had dinner with Sōdo in [[Hulbury]], infuriating him. Wanting to have Sōdo retire from the Gym Challenge, Bede challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}} but lost. Despite this, Bede revealed the reason he was collecting Wishing Stars was to help Rose.
In ''[[PASS10|Blazing!! Bede's Feelings]]'', Bede learned that [[Rose]] had dinner with Henry in [[Hulbury]], infuriating him. Wanting to have Henry retire from the Gym Challenge, Bede challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}} but lost. Despite this, Bede revealed the reason he was collecting Wishing Stars was to help Rose.
 
In ''[[PASS14|Teary!! The Voice of the Master]]'', [[Stow-on-Side]], Bede watched Henry's Gym battle against [[Allister]], but felt the former's performance was lacking and quickly left. Afterward, he used Rose's {{p|Copperajah}} to try and destroy the Stow-on-Side mural, but was found by Casey, [[Marvin]], [[Professor Magnolia]], and Allister. Bede was then caught by several {{tc|League Staff}} at the request of Rose, who reprimanded Bede for damaging an important piece of Galar's history. As punishment for his actions, Bede was disqualified from the Gym Challenge.
 
In ''[[PASS16|Rising!! Opal of Ballonlea]]'', in [[Hammerlocke]], Bede finished his forced withdrawal from the Gym Challenge. He was given a letter from [[Ballonlea]] Gym Leader, [[Opal]], but crushed it in his hands without reading it. He was then alerted to a loud rumbling and wondered if it came from the Hammerlocke [[Energy Plant]]. At the plant, Bede met [[Sonia]] and witnessed [[Leon]] trying to enter the building only to be turned away by the {{tc|League Staff}}. Worried for Rose's safety, Bede attempted to break in, but was warned by [[Raihan]] that his behavior would potentially lower Rose's opinion of him even further should everything be fine.
 
In ''[[PASS20|Cracking!!'' Brilliant Tap-Dancing]], Bede accepted Opal's invitation and visited her at the [[Ballonlea Stadium]]. Opal, having taken a liking to Bede's personality, accepted him as a successor for her title of Gym Leader. He subsequently started undertaking the training necessary to be ready for this position at the Gym.
 
[[File:Bede Gym Leader Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Bede after training with Opal]]
In ''[[PASS25|Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day]]'', the Galar Gym Leaders agreed to gather at [[Rose Tower]] to find out whether or not Rose intended on bringing harm to the region. Bede and Opal arrived first, but were stopped by Oleana. While Oleana kept the Gym Leaders busy, Bede, Henry, Casey, Hop, and Marnie headed up the elevator to meet with Rose, only to learn he wasn't in the building. Appearing on a video screen, Rose revealed that he would be restarting the [[Darkest Day]] in order to ensure Galar has a future. Power Spot lights then began appearing all over Galar, causing Pokémon to begin [[Dynamax]]ing at random. While some went back to their hometowns to help deal with the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon, Bede traveled with the others to the Hammerlocke Energy Plant, where they were joined by Leon's group. Upon entering the building, everyone found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.
 
In ''[[PASS27|Shock!! Chairman Rose's Plan]]'', Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and sent [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] to defeat Eternatus and prevent the Darkest Day from spiraling out of control. Despite their claims of being descendants of the heroes that once stopped the Darkest Day, Sordward and Shielbert were unable to win, forcing Rose to take their place. Oleana explained that Rose's actions were for the benefit of Galar and requested that everyone help stop Eternatus. The group agreed and made their way to the summit, only to find Rose had already been defeated. Bede kept Rose safe while the others faced Eternatus. They managed to take Eternatus down, but it got back up, changed into its Eternamax form, and quickly overwhelmed them. {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} arrived to save everyone, but when they tried using the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]], Eternatus grabbed them as well as Henry.
 
In [[PASS30]], Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus with a double {{m|Giga Impact}}, causing a massive explosion of energy and light. Once the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus had all vanished. Casey and [[Marvin]] reviewed footage of the incident and discovered something {{m|teleport}}ing Henry away just as Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus clashed. By tracking samples of Eternatus's poison on Henry's body and the material of the rusted artifacts, Casey found matching signals on both the [[Isle of Armor]] and the [[Crown Tundra]]. With no idea where Henry ended up, Oleana sent Bede, Casey, Marvin, Hop, and Marnie to both locations.
 
In [[PASS32]], while riding a train to the Crown Tundra, Bede, Marnie, and Hop encountered [[Peonia]], a girl trying to escape from her overbearing father, [[Peony]]. They agreed, but upon noticing Peony's resemblance to Rose, Bede's dedication to the chairman led him to exposing Peonia. Later, at the station, Marnie challenged Peony to a battle, stating that if she won, Peonia would be allowed to go free. After Marnie won and Peonia left, Bede and the others agreed to take her place as part of the Peony Exploration Team. The four traveled to [[Freezington]], where their home base was located.
 
In [[PASS36]], Bede, Marnie, and Hop arrived at [[Dyna Tree Hill]], where they found a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Detecting traces of the rusted items in the area, Bede and the others split up to determine which of the Legendary bird Pokémon knew where it was located. Hop and Marnie went after Moltres and Zapdos respectively, leaving Bede with Articuno. In [[PASS37]], after an encounter with Moltres, Henry was taken to the Crown Tundra, where he reunited with Bede. Henry was introduced to Peony, only for the man to immediately take a disliking towards the boy. When Peonia returned to participate in the adven-tour, a delighted Peony also agreed to let Henry join as well. That night, Peonia found her father floating in midair. Bede explained that it was the work of {{p|Calyrex}}, the King of Bountiful Harvests, in order for it to communicate with humans. The three agreed to help restore Calyrex to its former glory in exchange for it locating the [[Rusted Sword]].
 
In [[PASS39]], Bede's group tried reuniting Calyrex with is former loyal steed, {{p|Spectrier}}. With the [[Black Mane Hair]] collected from Spectrier and the [[Radiant Petal]] Calyrex made, Henry forged the [[Reins of Unity]]. The group lured Spectrier to the [[Crown Shrine]], but they were interrupted by a Gigantamaxed {{p|Corviknight}} and {{p|Butterfree}}. Realizing the Darkest Day had restarted, Bede, Henry, Peony, and Peonia fought off the rampaging giants. With the reins, Calyrex reforged its bond with Spectrier and changed into its {{form|Calyrex|Shadow Rider}} form, allowing it to find and retrieve the Rusted Sword.
 
In [[PASS41]], Bede and Henry returned to the Galar mainland, where they reunited with Casey, Hop, and Marvin. There, they witnessed Zacian and Zamazenta use the rusted tools to become their {{form|Zacian and Zamazenta|Crowned Sword and Shield}} forms. They traveled to Hammerlocke to confront Eternatus again, only for a trio of nobles demanding that Sordward and Shielbert have their status as nobles reinstated and blocked the entrance to the city with their [[Gigantamax]]ed Pokémon. By Gigantamaxing their own Pokémon, Henry, Casey, and Hop defeated the nobles, allowing Bede to use his Gigantamax {{p|Hatterene}} to determine where Eternatus was hiding. With Eternatus exposed, Zacian and Zamazenta combined their strength and finally took down the {{pkmn|category|Gigantic Pokémon}}, ending the Darkest Day.
 
In [[PASS43]], Bede paid Rose a visit in jail. Rose apologized for his earlier mistreatment of Bede during the Gym Challenge and explained he was only trying to keep the boy from being an accomplice to his crimes.

Bede (Japanese: ビート Beet) is one of the rival characters in Pokémon Sword and Shield, the others being Hop and Marnie. He initially specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon, but is eventually scouted by Opal to succeed her as a Fairy-type Gym Leader, and thus changes his specialty type accordingly. As the Gym Leader of Ballonlea Stadium, he gives the Fairy Badge to Trainers who defeat him.

In the core series games

Bede is one of the player's rivals. He is an arrogant, rude young man who had been personally sponsored by Rose, who gave Bede his first Pokémon, later revealed to be his Hatterene, upon visiting his orphanage when he was a child. The player and Hop first meet him when signing up for the Gym Challenge, though his name is not revealed at the time. While he is competing in the Gym Challenge to become Champion, he has been gathering Wishing Stars 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 Rose disqualifies from the Gym Challenge in disappointment.

After the player returns from Ballonlea to Hammerlocke with the Fairy Badge, Opal notices the sulking Bede and is struck with inspiration, asking him to become her successor. Bede reluctantly agrees, believing he will become stronger in the process. Bede eventually returns as a Gym Leader, interrupting the finals of the Champion Cup and 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 surpass Opal soon.

After the player becomes Champion, the player, Hop, and former Gym Leader Piers head to Ballonlea Stadium while trying to stop Sordward and Shielbert, but in the lobby, Bede confidently declares that he has taken care of most of the Dynamax Pokémon running rampant in his Stadium already. The player's group attempts to leave, but Bede refuses to let them go until he has a battle with the new Champion. After some assurance from Opal, the group decides to indulge Bede. During the battle, Bede acknowledges the player's strength, and after being defeated, accepts them as Champion. A more humble Trainer now, Bede swears he'll overcome his weakness and, in his words, "reach the pinnacle of what Fairy types can do."

League Cards

This is a transcript of the back of Bede's League Cards in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Normal League Card
"Bede spent some time living in an orphanage after his family ran into some trouble when he was young. He always had difficulty getting along with others and would constantly get into fights. That is until one day Rose visited the facility. Rose gave Bede a Pokémon, which changed Bede's life forever. He showed talent as a Trainer and threw himself into Pokémon battles, becoming stronger by the day. He has joined the Gym Challenge with an endorsement from the chairman himself, and Bede plans to prove that the chairman's faith was not misplaced."
Rare League Card
"He was appointed by the former Gym Leader Opal to become the new Gym Leader of Ballonlea Stadium. The general consensus is that Opal's harsh training has in fact mellowed him out. Though he himself has never confirmed nor denied this, it should be noted that he no longer refuses to give autographs. Additionally, it seems his skills as a Pokémon Trainer have also increased rather dramatically. Recently, his intrusion during the Finals of the Champion Cup has gained popularity, and fans wish to see that kind of performance again. Bede himself is not sure how to react."

Bede debuted in Watch Out!! Strong Rivals. He was first seen in front of the Galar Mine, unable to enter due to a large boulder blocking the entrance. Casey, Hop, and Marnie combined their Pokémon's attacks to move the boulder. After the others went inside, Henry pointed out that Bede was protecting the boulder and speculated his goal was to obtain Wishing Stars found inside the mine. Later, everyone gathered at Turffield Stadium, where they each fought a Gym battle against Milo and won.

In Blazing!! Bede's Feelings, Bede learned that Rose had dinner with Henry in Hulbury, infuriating him. Wanting to have Henry retire from the Gym Challenge, Bede challenged him to a battle but lost. Despite this, Bede revealed the reason he was collecting Wishing Stars was to help Rose.

In Teary!! The Voice of the Master, Stow-on-Side, Bede watched Henry's Gym battle against Allister, but felt the former's performance was lacking and quickly left. Afterward, he used Rose's Copperajah to try and destroy the Stow-on-Side mural, but was found by Casey, Marvin, Professor Magnolia, and Allister. Bede was then caught by several League Staff at the request of Rose, who reprimanded Bede for damaging an important piece of Galar's history. As punishment for his actions, Bede was disqualified from the Gym Challenge.

In Rising!! Opal of Ballonlea, in Hammerlocke, Bede finished his forced withdrawal from the Gym Challenge. He was given a letter from Ballonlea Gym Leader, Opal, but crushed it in his hands without reading it. He was then alerted to a loud rumbling and wondered if it came from the Hammerlocke Energy Plant. At the plant, Bede met Sonia and witnessed Leon trying to enter the building only to be turned away by the League Staff. Worried for Rose's safety, Bede attempted to break in, but was warned by Raihan that his behavior would potentially lower Rose's opinion of him even further should everything be fine.

In Cracking!! Brilliant Tap-Dancing, Bede accepted Opal's invitation and visited her at the Ballonlea Stadium. Opal, having taken a liking to Bede's personality, accepted him as a successor for her title of Gym Leader. He subsequently started undertaking the training necessary to be ready for this position at the Gym.

In Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day, the Galar Gym Leaders agreed to gather at Rose Tower to find out whether or not Rose intended on bringing harm to the region. Bede and Opal arrived first, but were stopped by Oleana. While Oleana kept the Gym Leaders busy, Bede, Henry, Casey, Hop, and Marnie headed up the elevator to meet with Rose, only to learn he wasn't in the building. Appearing on a video screen, Rose revealed that he would be restarting the Darkest Day in order to ensure Galar has a future. Power Spot lights then began appearing all over Galar, causing Pokémon to begin Dynamaxing at random. While some went back to their hometowns to help deal with the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon, Bede traveled with the others to the Hammerlocke Energy Plant, where they were joined by Leon's group. Upon entering the building, everyone found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.

In Shock!! Chairman Rose's Plan, Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and sent Sordward and Shielbert to defeat Eternatus and prevent the Darkest Day from spiraling out of control. Despite their claims of being descendants of the heroes that once stopped the Darkest Day, Sordward and Shielbert were unable to win, forcing Rose to take their place. Oleana explained that Rose's actions were for the benefit of Galar and requested that everyone help stop Eternatus. The group agreed and made their way to the summit, only to find Rose had already been defeated. Bede kept Rose safe while the others faced Eternatus. They managed to take Eternatus down, but it got back up, changed into its Eternamax form, and quickly overwhelmed them. Zacian and Zamazenta arrived to save everyone, but when they tried using the Rusted Sword and Shield, Eternatus grabbed them as well as Henry.

In PASS30, Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus with a double Giga Impact, causing a massive explosion of energy and light. Once the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus had all vanished. Casey and Marvin reviewed footage of the incident and discovered something teleporting Henry away just as Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus clashed. By tracking samples of Eternatus's poison on Henry's body and the material of the rusted artifacts, Casey found matching signals on both the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra. With no idea where Henry ended up, Oleana sent Bede, Casey, Marvin, Hop, and Marnie to both locations.

In PASS32, while riding a train to the Crown Tundra, Bede, Marnie, and Hop encountered Peonia, a girl trying to escape from her overbearing father, Peony. They agreed, but upon noticing Peony's resemblance to Rose, Bede's dedication to the chairman led him to exposing Peonia. Later, at the station, Marnie challenged Peony to a battle, stating that if she won, Peonia would be allowed to go free. After Marnie won and Peonia left, Bede and the others agreed to take her place as part of the Peony Exploration Team. The four traveled to Freezington, where their home base was located.

In PASS36, Bede, Marnie, and Hop arrived at Dyna Tree Hill, where they found a Galarian Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Detecting traces of the rusted items in the area, Bede and the others split up to determine which of the Legendary bird Pokémon knew where it was located. Hop and Marnie went after Moltres and Zapdos respectively, leaving Bede with Articuno. In PASS37, after an encounter with Moltres, Henry was taken to the Crown Tundra, where he reunited with Bede. Henry was introduced to Peony, only for the man to immediately take a disliking towards the boy. When Peonia returned to participate in the adven-tour, a delighted Peony also agreed to let Henry join as well. That night, Peonia found her father floating in midair. Bede explained that it was the work of Calyrex, the King of Bountiful Harvests, in order for it to communicate with humans. The three agreed to help restore Calyrex to its former glory in exchange for it locating the Rusted Sword.

In PASS39, Bede's group tried reuniting Calyrex with is former loyal steed, Spectrier. With the Black Mane Hair collected from Spectrier and the Radiant Petal Calyrex made, Henry forged the Reins of Unity. The group lured Spectrier to the Crown Shrine, but they were interrupted by a Gigantamaxed Corviknight and Butterfree. Realizing the Darkest Day had restarted, Bede, Henry, Peony, and Peonia fought off the rampaging giants. With the reins, Calyrex reforged its bond with Spectrier and changed into its Shadow Rider form, allowing it to find and retrieve the Rusted Sword.

In PASS41, Bede and Henry returned to the Galar mainland, where they reunited with Casey, Hop, and Marvin. There, they witnessed Zacian and Zamazenta use the rusted tools to become their Crowned Sword and Shield forms. They traveled to Hammerlocke to confront Eternatus again, only for a trio of nobles demanding that Sordward and Shielbert have their status as nobles reinstated and blocked the entrance to the city with their Gigantamaxed Pokémon. By Gigantamaxing their own Pokémon, Henry, Casey, and Hop defeated the nobles, allowing Bede to use his Gigantamax Hatterene to determine where Eternatus was hiding. With Eternatus exposed, Zacian and Zamazenta combined their strength and finally took down the Gigantic Pokémon, ending the Darkest Day.

In PASS43, Bede paid Rose a visit in jail. Rose apologized for his earlier mistreatment of Bede during the Gym Challenge and explained he was only trying to keep the boy from being an accomplice to his crimes.
