Born and raised in [[Galar]], Leon was a childhood friend of [[Sonia]]'s. Due to having to take care of his family for a long time, she was his only friend and taught Leon the concepts of a [[Pokémon battle]]. During this period, Leon found a {{p|Charmander}} that would become [[Starter Pokémon|his first Pokémon]] and what motivated him to go on a [[Pokémon journey]]. Sonia and Leon traveled together when they started on their journey, where Leon shortly after had his first Pokémon battle against Sonia herself. He wound up losing to her, but still found battling exciting and decided to devote his life to it.

In his first victory in battle, it was evident that Leon had a natural gift for being a great Trainer. In this period, Leon met more people and knew more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As revealed in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', [[Rose]] was responsible for inserting Leon into the world of competitive Pokémon battles. But, Leon's closeness to Rose ended up driving Sonia away from him, which made the two go their separate ways over time. In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Rose reveals that his goal with this was to guide Leon so that he would become the hero of Galar, and be able to control {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}.

As expected from a high-level Trainer, all of Leon's Pokémon are very powerful. Leon's [[party]] consists of several Pokémon originating from his [[Galar|homeland]], as well as his [[starter Pokémon]] Charizard, some of which have been shown to be capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. This has allowed Leon to achieve impressive victories in the [[World Coronation Series]] and the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] against other powerful Trainers like [[Raihan]], [[Flint]], [[Alain]], and [[Diantha]].

Leon's adaptability is very similar to Ash's, being able to rapidly teach his Pokémon some improvised techniques, such as [[Counter Shield]] for {{p|Inteleon}}. Another point in common with Ash is that Leon is very close to his Pokémon. This allowed Leon to develop his relationship with {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}}, which left aside its more aggressive side and became a more docile Pokémon over time.

In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Charizard was Leon's sixth Pokémon during his Masters Eight Tournament match against Ash. After Gigantamaxing, Charizard clashed with Ash's Pikachu's {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} [[Z-Move]], which caused {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} to awaken and appear at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. After being briefly recalled in favor of {{p|Cinderace}} in [[JN132|the next episode]], Charizard resumed its battle with Pikachu. Both Pokémon gave it their all, with Charizard ultimately falling and suffering its first loss in an official battle, thus causing Leon to lose the match.}}
