Everyone couldn't help but stare at Bede.

Bede noticed this and said, feeling rather flustered,"What?"

Gloria said apologetically,"Sorry Bede it's just... you used to act like that but, I'm really glad you've grown so much as a person."

Bede smiled slightly. Gloria smiled back at Bede before directing her attention to Misty and Iris. She said,"It's an honor that you two chose to visit our region."

Misty replied with a warm smile,"I think it's more of an honor to be with Galar's new champion."

Iris added with excitement in her eyes,"Yeah! The way you used your Jolteon against Leon's Charizard was epic!"

Gloria blushed in a bashful manner. She murmured,"Gosh... it wasn't THAT epic..."

Noticing this, Leon said to Misty and Iris,"Why don't we take you to the Wild Area where we'll make you some delicious curry. I bet your Pokémon are famished after such a long journey."

Everyone smiled at each other before heading out of the train station.

The gentleman at the counter waved good-bye to Gloria who told Misty,"You should totally meet Nessa. She's a water gym leader too..."

Once the group of friends were out of sight, the gentleman looked to his right to spot two people with a Meowth by their side.

Meowth frowned and crossed his arms. "I still don't see why the boss wants a Pokémon from this place. I mean men wear skirts here for crying out loud!"

James said as he took off his sunglasses,"My kind of people..."

Jessie said with a wicked grin,"All disturbing memories aside, now that we know that twerp and his Pikachu aren't here, we can finally merge victorious!"

Meowth said with the same kind of grin,"Yeah. Let's go capture Zacian and Zamazenta."

Jessie suddenly said,"Not so fast Meowth. Galar is known to sell the best beauty products and I'm going to get one whether you two like it or not."

James gave Jessie a look of disbelief. "But, you sounded like you really wanted to impress the boss seconds ago..."

No response. Jessie had already entered Wedgehurst's boutique.

The woman at the check out counter greeted,"Hello, I'm Chelsea. Welcome to the boutique! We're..."

Jessie suddenly interrupted by exclaiming rudely, "Cut to the chase, sister! What's the best product you've got?"

Chelsea blinked in surprise before saying nervously,"Well... a brand new, high-tech makeover machine just came in today."

Jessie looked over the woman's shoulder to spot the slick and shiny machine. She soon smiled and said,"Have it sent to Room 303 at the Budew Drop Inn."

With that said, Jessie walked away from the boutique's counter. She did however turn around to say to Chelsea,"Oh, and be sure to charge the machine to the Team Rocket account."

Chelsea froze in shock. She had heard of that organization before and she knew for a fact that they were not good at all.
