Leon: Difference between revisions

Leon started originally as a Trainer at the age of 10 with his partner {{p|Charizard}} when he entered the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] after being endorsed by [[Chairman Rose]] who saw talent in him <ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/story/pokemon-league/</ref>. He proceed to win his first-ever Gym Challenge and become [[Pokémon Champion]] of the Galar League, without losing a single battle once. Since them he and his partner have remained undefeated in every League and exhibition they participated in. He has been referred to as "the unbeatable Champion" and "the greatest Trainer in all of Galar."<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/champion-leon/</ref>. He is considered hero to many Trainers in [[Galar]]. However, he is also known for his poor sense of directions. His catchphrase is "Let's have a champion time!". According to [[Mustard]], Leon was once his best student at the [[Master Dojo]], but was never able to finish his training there, as he never made it to the [[Towers of Two Fists]] due to his horrible sense of direction.

Later, Leon travels via train to [[Wedgehurst]], where he entertains a crowd outside Wedgehurst Station with Charizard until [[Hop]] and the {{player}} meet him. Together, the trio return to Hop and Leon's home in [[Postwick]]. Once there, Leon reveals the gifts he brought for Hop and the player — the [[starter Pokémon]] {{p|Grookey}}, {{p|Scorbunny}} and {{p|Sobble}}. He allows the player and Hop to choose which of the three Pokémon they want, then adds the remaining Pokémon to his own [[party]]. Leon then watches the battle between the player and Hop before joining in a barbeque dinner he and Hop's mother hosts at their home.

After the events of main story, he gained ownership of [[Rose Tower]] and transformed it into the [[Battle Tower (Galar)|Battle Tower]]. His reason for this was to fulfill a lifelong dream he had while he was still Champion, where [[Galar]]ian Trainers can become the strongest in the world. Another reason for Battle Tower was so that he can never get lost inside it. Some say Leon has become more lively then when he was champion and currently having a hard time looking for a new catchphrase to use.

Leon reappeared in [[JN013]], where he heard a commotion outside the stadium and went to see what was happening. He saw {{Ash}} battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and noticed that it had Gigantamaxed without a [[Dynamax Band]]. He gave Ash advice that allowed him to defeat Drednaw before properly introducing himself to them. The next day, Leon approached Ash and [[Goh]] at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]] and accepted Ash's earlier request for a battle. Beforehand, Leon gave Ash an explanation of how [[Dynamax]]ing and [[G-Max Move]]s worked and gave him his own Dynamax Band. During the battle, both sides Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, with Pikachu even managing to land a couple hits on Charizard, but in the end, Pikachu was defeated. Ash and Leon then promised to each other that once Ash was strong enough, they would battle again.

Leon reappeared in [[JN027]] where Leon defends his title in a tough battle against [[Raihan]], after the victory he greets Ash and [[Chairman Rose]].

Leon debuted in the [[PASS02]]. He was first seen on the outskirts of [[Wedgehurst]], trying to move a flock of {{p|Wooloo}} off of some train tracks. He was helped by [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]] and [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]], who drove off the {{p|Obstagoon}} that was terrorizing the Wooloo. After introducing himself to the children, Leon headed off to [[Motostoke]] to appear on a television program, only to get lost on the way there.
