" Life is good. I wouldn't trade what I have now for anythin' else. "

"I had quite a lively past. Idol/Popstar, TV and Movie... I was doing all things entertainment back in the day."

"My old life was a pit that I narrowly escaped.... everyone thinks that they want fame or fortune, but they don't know how much it consumes you."

Another sunny (as usual) day out in Alola! It's been awhile since the bear has done any Mantine surfing, it's tempting...!

"I'm getting good at this cooking thing! Maybe I've got the makings of a chef. It helps that one of my friends helped me learn back in the day though too, haha."

"I've learned something, as I've grown older. The worst thing that you can do is tell yourself how terrible you are. Why do we set the standards we have of ourselves so incredibly high...?"

"Hey 𝙿𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚒𝚎, I'm goin' on a shopping run! Want to tag along?"

He's sitting by the docks, cracking open a cold one in one hand and holding a fishing pole in the other. Time to just kick back and enjoy another day in Alola.

“ Hmm... the sun's beatin' down on my back, the waves feel good against my feet... Yep, this is the life! ”

“ Wonder if anyone knows that I was an idol in the past... heh! Embarrassing, that would be. ”

“ Life was certainly different then, wasn't it? Mhm... ”

Although he was good on funds, being idle is something that didn't sit well with the Bewear. Having set up a small shop on the docks of Poni Island, he'd help beat the summer heat by serving others some refreshing smoothies.

“ Another scorcher of a summer... though I can't say I'm too surprised! Once I'm done for the day i'm dipping my feet in the water. ”

“ Stardom ain't all that it's cracked out to be. I'm just happy to be doing what I do now. ”

“ Patch wasn't my stage name, nah... I went under a whole different persona back then. ”

Patch is sitting in the soft sands, watching the waves roll on by. Not a dark cloud in sight, in this tropic paradise. The rather laid back nature of Alola contrasts the bustling life of Unova, he's put together and come to realize. Memories of his youth came flooding back...

“ I lost my shades in the water... oops. ”

“ My sister is flyin' in from Unova... damn! Why did she have to find out where I live now?! She's despicable, incorrigible, an absolute menace- ”

“ Nah... maybe it'll be okay. Polly might be the worst, but time has passed! She can't pick on me anymore, nope. ”

The bewear was shaking his legs as he sat down, thinking. How did she track him down? Well... it didn't matter. As long as it wasn't his parents, he didn't care too much. She was the only other person who knew about his past and how embarrassing of one it was, though.
