Upon reaching the site, Liam saw Bede with a huge Pokemon that Liam had never seen before.

"[i]Copperajah, the Copperderm Pokemon. A Steel-Type. They came to Galar from another region long ago and worked together with humans. Their green skin is resistant to water. These Pokémon live in herds. Their trunks have incredible grip strength, strong enough to crush giant rocks into powder.[/i]"

"Bede, what [i]are[/i] you doing?!" Liam asked horrified.
Bede turned to see the heroes standing there. "It's you dorks again, jealous of my plan to get more Wishing Stars? Well too bad, I'm not letting you in on it." He tossed out a Great Ball and Duosion emerged.
 Beckham popped out of his Ball

"I'm the one chosen by the Chairman, I'm the one to defeat the champion, I'm an elite, someone who can shoulder the future of Galar on their shoulders." Bede pointed at Beckham and started to order an attack, but before he could there was a sharp whistle sound as Liam's shiny Corvisquire flew down and landed next to its trainer.

Officer Jenny arrived on the scene with a officials of the Galar Leauge.
"Challenger Bede," one of the officials scolded. As this was said, Chairman Rose and Olena walked up as well. 
 Olena spoke next. "I wondered what you were upto when you asked to borrow the Chairman's Copperajah I can't believe you would use it to destroy a historic landmark!"

"Who cares about a hisotircal landmark when the next thousand years are at stake!?" Bede cut in. "Did you stand in front of a Pokemon's Simple Beam or something? How do you expect to support the Chairman with that sort of thinking?"

Rose looked sadly at Bede. "Youbg Bede, I didn't want you to do this. As much as it pains me to do so, I must disqualify you from the Gym Challenge. It is true that I found you when you were all alone. You reminded me of myself when I was younger. That's why I sent you to Trainers' School to help give you a chance at success. But today, by destroying this site you have shown that you have no love for Galar."


 Bede was flabbergasted. "But, there are hundreds of other ways this could be resolved, why are we going with the worst one?" At Olena's orders, the two officials confiscated the Wishing Stars that Bede had on his person. 

Rose told Bede to return to Hammerlocke and they will discuss things further then. The officials then escorted Bede away. Rose turned and saw the heroes. "Ah, hello challengers," he said. "I apologize that you had to see that. I wish we didn't have to competitors in that fashion, but we have to keep things fair and sportsmen-like. I apologize, but I must get going. Good luck with the rest of the gym challenges." Rose and Olena then walked off while Jenny was roping the area off for safety.

There was a bit more rumbling as the damaged mural crumbled away. When the dust settled, there was a statute inside. It appeared to be of a pair of wolves. The one in front had a shield in its mouth as if to use it, and the one in back had the same with a sword.
