More Ranger!Hop things now that Iâm having him stand in for the MC of SoA for this blogâs au:
Hop and Keith were fast friends, and were known by many as the danger duo
Kincaid reprimanded them at least three times a day for running in the halls, but I mean câmon he canât deny that these two have the drive and spirit to become rangers.
Rythmi Hop and Keith made the pledge by the pledge stone.
Odd, Marnie, Bede, and Hopâs family all travelled to Almia for Hopâs graduation. That would be the last time he saw them in person until he would open a branch of the Union in Galar.
Letâs be honest, the moment Elaine saw Hopâs rotom phone, she wanted to take it apart to see how it worked.
Crawford reminds Hop of Leon. Primarily the bad jokes.
Hop is probably the one who âughâs the loudest when Crawford cracks a pun, though.
Hop and Odd have a system for their phones that kicks in when one of them is in trouble(mainly when Odd gets kidnapped by a PokĂ©mon). Basically Rotom will send their location to the other phone. When Hop left the region for school, they configured it to only send locations when there was an emergency where they couldnât call someone else.
The first time Hop got a ping after that, he was on patrol with Luana. Turns out there was no emergency, Oddâs rotom simply panicked, but Luana and Hop had fun meeting/introducing Odd either way.
After that Luana joined Hop in calling Odd and the others after work.
Hop got along well with Barlow, though he was reprimanded several times for getting hurt saving a person or Pokémon, in particular getting burned during thw Vien Forest fire.
