The Aftermath: Bede x Reader

~12~

Is Gloria forced to stay silent as well? What about the professor's assistant?
I ponder whilst in the air taxi to the champion's hometown, Postwick.
"Oh hello dear, are you a fan of Gloria's?"
"Actually I'm more like a friend, I'm the girlfriend of the Ballonlea Gym's leader. Gloria and me get along well." I reply nicely. "I'm Y/N by the way, but I just need to know, has Gloria been acting weird recently?"
Her mother pondered for a second.
"Actually, come to think of it, she has, she hasn't come home in a month and refuses to talk to me."
"Ah, my boyfriend is the same, and someone who is close to the gym leaders and champion is in danger. You see..." I lowered my voice and told Gloria's mother everything.
"That's awful, but are you sure? Are you sure it's Rose? Maybe someone is controlling him from behind the scenes?"
"Holy heck I never thought of that." I grab my stuff and go to the door. "Thanks, also can you ask Hop's mother about it? Subtly."
She nods and I smile in response.
"I hope you are safe, maybe Bede is trying to save you."
I know that, but how in the world am I supposed to free everyone? Find answers?
