* HistoryRepeats: A Galar Pokémon Trainer in a Pokémon Center gets picked up by the Infinity Train.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Bede thinks he's better than Hop, but he also falls for the allure for the Train just like Hoppy did and barely listens to Hatenna warning him to ''not'' enter.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Bede is the cause of Hop being on the Train and he was chewed out by Leon for his KickTheDog moment. While he did make a valid point that this is also on Hop not able to handle losses well, it was ''still'' a dick move and him not even caring about how Leon felt just proves that he wasn't empathetic in the first place.

''Infinity Train: Court of Cyclamen'' is a story in the ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomverse'' by Green Phantom Queen, taking place during Acts 2 and 3 of ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail''.

Taking place after his humiliating loss against Ash Ketchum and being chewed out for his callousness by Leon, Bede is beside himself at his actions. It's not ''his'' fault Hop got stuck on a Train because he just put in some honest truths! And what would ''they'' know about struggling to survive? The Train doesn't scare him!

And then the Infinity Train picks him up and he's whisked off to see a good look at himself.
