At the time, he was confused as to whether he should challenge [[Gym]]s or compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Trying to decide between the two, he battled both {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} with his {{p|Budew}}, which evolved into {{p|Roselia}} during his battle with Ash. After the battle, Nando decided to go after both [[Badge]]s and [[Ribbon]]s. | ||

Nando reappeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', in which he informed Ash that the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Hearthome Gym]] was absent and would be away for quite a while. He then suggested Ash to enter the famous [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. After that, he walked with Dawn towards the [[Contest Hall]], where he met [[Zoey]] for the first time. When Nando introduced himself saying he is both a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, Zoey said he needed to make up his mind, to which he replied that {{cat|Nando's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} guide him. | |||
He later entered the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest, which was held under the [[Double Performance]] format. During the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], Nando used his {{TP|Nando|Kricketune}} and {{p|Sunflora}} to deliver a music-themed performance, impressing [[Raoul Contesta|the]] [[Mr. Sukizo|three]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]] enough for them to secure him a place among the Coordinators proceeding to the [[Contest Battle]]s. There, he managed to defeat [[Jessilina]] to advance to the final round, where he faced off against Zoey and won. This victory gave Nando his second Contest Ribbon. | |||

He made it past the Performance Stage and quickly reached the Top 4 as seen in ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]''. In the said episode, he fought a hard battle against Zoey with his Lopunny and Kricketune, even impressing [[Fantina]] a lot with their combinations; however, Zoey eventually won the battle. In the same episode, Nando was seen playing music to the Pokémon around the area. He made a brief appearance in [[DP177|the following episode]] watching Dawn and Zoey compete in the finals and then again after the Grand Festival had finished announcing that he was going to compete in the [[Sinnoh League]]. | ||
He also appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it is revealed that he is Ash's first opponent in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], with the match occurring in the [[DP183|following episode]]. Despite his Pokémon putting up a good fight, he lost his match against Ash and was eliminated. After the match, he mentioned that he would continue his travels in order to train further before leaving. | |||

Nando's character can be easily described as calm and collected. Even in the most tense of situations, such as being arrested for a crime he did not commit, he will always look to the positive side. He enjoys music and his favorite pastime is to play his harp for anyone who will care to listen, whether they be [[human]] or {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, in hopes of spreading the tranquility he feels inside to others. This personality trait is also reflected in his choice of Pokémon and even the [[Seal]]s he uses in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. | |||
Even if Nando encounters a Trainer that has hostility towards him, such as [[Zoey]], he will still treat that Trainer with the utmost respect. As seen in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', Nando likes to be a peace maker, helping Ash and Dawn settle their differences on whether battling or coordinating are better than one another. | Even if Nando encounters a Trainer that has hostility towards him, such as [[Zoey]], he will still treat that Trainer with the utmost respect.
