Sword and Shield is so silly man. Your friend's brother (the champion) is mildly late to taking you two out for a celebratory dinner. Instead of just deciding, 'well Leon is the champion, and he tends to be busy, especially during the busiest time of the year for the league, so maybe we should just shelf the dinner until further notice,' THIS is what happens next:
The secretary of the chairman shows up, and immediately starts taunting two children about it.
She proceeds to challenge two children to a petty game where they have to run around London and beat up people from the chairman's company.
You start an impromptu concert in the biggest train station in Galar.
THEN you break into the main tower of Macro Cosmos in the dead of night.
Hijack an elevator in this building.
While you're waiting to get to the top, have a talk with your rival about how you crushed his hopes and dreams by beating him in front of millions literally less than three hours ago (okay that's an HC but it probably does happen. Hop is shown talking to you as you go up the elevator.)
Beat up more people.
Get to the top of the tower and are challenged by the secretary who is incredibly pissed off that you won the game she challenged you to.
Beat her ass
After ALL of this, Leon is completely fine. He's having a mildly creepy talk with Rose. But nothing is wrong lmao. And then you and Hop show up after wreaking havoc through half of Wyndon and he's like, 'haha sorry i was late' and you leave??? And there is no repercussions for anything anyone did??? And no one ever comes back to this???
I love Sword and Shield. I'm biased. It was my first Pokemon game. But seriously what were the writers on 🥀.
