Opal was impressed by my battling, but said that I didn't quite have the shade of "pink" that she was looking for, so she escorted me back to Hammerlocke. We immediately found Bede and Opal seemed so smitten with his tortured version of "pink" that she spirited him away back to Ballollea for training. Crisis averted: I can't quite see him coming back as a villian now...Although that is truly an awkward way to tie up a plot thread...maybe something more will come of it.
As I wandered East, some more explosions started to happen around town. However, the Sonya/Leon "scooby squad" told me that they had it covered and that I should focus on just playing the videogame for a bit until they were ready for me to intervene. Essentially, this was a reminder that "yeah, eventually there will be some story wrap up, but it ain't yet.
I fought Hop again and crushed him loudly again. I'm really starting to feel bad for the guy. This might be the first time in the pokemon series where the rival character is so sympathetic. If he quite pokemon battling because he can't beat me, then I'm going to feel pretty bad about myself...
Maybe this is what Opal meant by "pink". Someone who is cheerful, yet twisted by their own sense of doubt. Strong, but rotten. Maybe I'm the villain of this game.
