BEDE + ROSE Relationship - p.1 // early
-- You know, years before the game starts. At the time Rose and Macro Cosmos were way smaller and just making heads in the Galar region. Influence was slow but growing thanks to their constant efforts in lobbying for change that can help the region.
Rose of course see’s his bright Galar starting at the younger generation especially for the ones that didn’t have much, aka the orphanage in Galar. Soon enough Macro Cosmos became it’s biggest benefactor with donations and the likes. Mr. Rose of course always has his head in the clouds; idealizing growth and talent that he assures in the youth. Bede however caught his eye on his visits.
Rose doesn’t quite listen to facts as much as he does his gut. Goodness knows how much of Macro Cosmos is built on reverie we have Oleana to thank for a lot of work, but that’s a HC for later, and there was just something about the young boy that didn’t escape his interest. He was different, zealous; proven further when Rose had given him his first Pokemon in which he quickly proven himself talented.
Wasn’t long before Rose pulled him from the orphanage completely. Even with all the time and money donated there was only so much room for Bede to really grow there. By then Rose was completely enamored -- pushing away that maybe a busy businessman on the cusp of a gargantuan company was really paternal material. But you know,,,Rose, “he’ll figure it out”.
For the first few years? Great. He can bounce Bede in one arm and take a memo in the other no problem. Expenses with living and training weren’t a problem either so long as they were seemingly happy.
As time goes and the business continues to grow however ..
