In [[JN127]], Leon called Ash and Goh to [[Wyndon Stadium]], where he revealed that he, Professor Magnolia, and Sonia had been working with Eternatus for it to become comfortable around people ever since the Darkest Day incident. Seeing this, Goh decided to entrust Eternatus to Leon. | In [[JN127]], Leon called Ash and Goh to [[Wyndon Stadium]], where he revealed that he, Professor Magnolia, and Sonia had been working with Eternatus for it to become comfortable around people ever since the Darkest Day incident.

In [[JN129]], as Ash and Leon's battle was about to begin, Leon requested that Ash should be allowed to use [[Mega Evolution]], [[Z-Move]]s, and Dynamax, instead of just one of them, which was accepted. The battle continued for the next few episodes. Near its climax, Eternatus appeared over Wyndon Stadium and recharged both Trainers' Dynamax Bands, allowing them to Gigantamax their Pokémon one more time. Ultimately, in [[JN132]], the battle ended in a passionate showdown between Ash's Pikachu and Leon's Charizard. In the end, Charizard was defeated, putting an end to Leon's winning streak. Later, Leon promised to Ash that he'd keep on having more battles to grow stronger, and handed Ash his trophy during the awards ceremony. | In [[JN129]], as Ash and Leon's battle was about to begin, Leon requested that Ash should be allowed to use [[Mega Evolution]], [[Z-Move]]s, and Dynamax, instead of just one of them, which was accepted.

Leon is a strong Trainer, having reached the final round of the [[World Coronation Series]] and subsequently becoming the Monarch, thus being undefeated for some time. Although Leon comes across as unstoppable, he revealed to {{Ash}} that since the [[Darkest Day]] he felt powerless to deal with the threat. This made him question if there are people stronger than him and how far the strength limit of each one goes. [[Sonia]] is apparently the only person who can see this side of Leon, unlike most people, to her, Leon is more child-like in his relationship with Pokémon. | Leon is a strong Trainer, having reached the final round of the [[World Coronation Series]] and subsequently becoming the Monarch, thus being undefeated for some time.

Leon is also a good sportsman, as seen in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', when he complimented [[Lance]] after their battle and shook his hand and again in all his battles in the World Coronation Series, acting the same way after his battles with [[Raihan]] and {{EF|Flint}}. Leon also has a very strong sense of justice, refusing to follow [[Rose|Chairman Rose]]'s orders to capture {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} for the former's personal ambitions, opting to seal Eternatus away to prevent the [[Darkest Day]] from occurring. | Leon is also a good sportsman, as seen in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', when he complimented [[Lance]] after their battle and shook his hand and again in all his battles in the World Coronation Series, acting the same way after his battles with [[Raihan]] and {{EF|Flint}}.

During Ash's battle against [[Opal]], he realized that Pikachu had not Gigantamaxed, but rather bloated from the cream of {{m|G-Max Finale}}. Furthermore, Leon is shown to have great knowledge on how [[Mega Evolution]] works, being able to recognize the great bond {{AP|Lucario}} has with Ash. | ||

As stated by some people, Leon and Ash have a lot in common, mainly in the way they take care of Pokémon. During the course of the anime it is shown that Leon takes a keen interest in Ash's battles and more than once, Leon declared to Ash his desire to face him in an official battle. This even made Rose offer the same offer he made to Leon to be trained by him, but Ash refused even before knowing Rose's real intentions. As in the games, Leon is idealized by his younger brother [[Hop]], who yearns to defeat him in battle. Hop also reveals that Leon often talks to him about Ash's progression in the World Coronation Series. | As stated by some people, Leon and Ash have a lot in common, mainly in the way they take care of Pokémon.
