The Princess and the Dragon

Glimwood Tangle

It's been two days since I got help from Raihan, and my bond with Blegg improved drastically. I managed to beat the Ghost-type gym leader efficiently, using Smoochy's Crunch on every opponent. Blegg is now stronger, even though I know he won't be useful for the next stop : the Fairy Type gym. I have to make Ebene evolve. Her evolution is Steel Type and it'll kick the Gym's butt. Today, we're heading to Ballonlea. Bye-bye, Stow-on-side ! We left the Pokémon center, but didn't even have time to fully get out that Sonia rushed towards us to in total panic : 

- HE'S DESTROYING THE WALL ! HE'S DESTROYING THE WALL ! 

- But... WHICH WALL ?!? AND WHO !!?

I ran to the top of the town, seeing I colossal Pokémon bashing on a wall of the mountain. I saw his pink coat. I screamed : 

- BEDE !  NO ! 

*BAAANG* 

- STOP ! WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?!?

Finally behind him, I panicked : 

- WHat ArE you DoING ! 

His cold look froze me .

- I'm digging through this wall. 

Hop joined : 

- No dip Shirelock ! We already guessed that. 

He tried to interfere between the gigantic Copperajah and the wall, but Bede pushed him : 

- I'm doing it for CHAIRMAN ROSE ! Now get lost !

Sonia shouted : 

- This wall is an artistic heritage of our Region ! Don't crush it ! 

He scoffed, as he couldn't care less about the Galar history.

- There's a strong force emanating from behind the wall  ! It must be Dynamax wishing star  ! And Chairman Rose needs plenty of it. I'm getting it for him. 

I ran into him : 

- Are you crazy !? You'll make an enormous gap in the wall ! Everything could fall and eventually collapse on the village ! 

- No, but you certainly are ! Trying to stop an elephant under my command. 

My eyes began to pour. "You can't just destroy everything ! this is our heritage ! This is art ! You can't just destroy what people created like that !" 

He grabbed my shoulders : 

- It's not like it was pretty. Now, let me do my stuff and go to Ballonlea. I don't want to hurt you and I don't have the time to battle you. Head off. You'll be in advance on me for once. 

I felt his tone quite smooth for Bede. I stepped back but that's when we heard Chairman Rose it total panic  : 

- But... but BEDE ! What are you doing ?? Why are you using my Dear Coppera-... AND DESTROYING THE WALL WITH IT ?

Bede gasped : 

- But.. but there's Wishing stars behind it ! 

Rose sighed :

- I had High hopes on you, Bede.. I gave you a Pokémon, I sponsored  you yo the gym challenge... And this is how you thank me ? 

Bede had no time to explain himself that he was disqualified from the Galar Gym Challenge. Before Chairman Rose left, he added : "You ashamed me, Bede." 

I was left broken. Bede stood still next to us a long moment. The silence was painful. Atrociously painful. I felt so bad for him. All his hopes, all his dreams... crushed in a fraction of second. I leaned towards me as he seemed to be cracking up :
