Leon, Ash and others in “Partners in Time!”

[enters the centre's wing] Look like Pikachu is feeling better. [His Charizard takes a look inside]

Leon!

Pikachu

Pika! [Hey there!]

It was a good battle. Lots of fun too.

I've feel the exact same way.

It made me think back my very first Pokémon battle. A great time. [The flashback revealed that Leon's Charmander lost to a Rookidee owned by Sonia herself. Leon gets upset about this loss.] Yet frustrated. Of course, that's what a Pokémon battle really is. From now on, I'm just another challenger. I'll have lots of battles and become even stronger.

Me too! I want to have tons of battles!

[extends his hand] Let's battle again sometime.

[accepts Leon's handshake] You got it! [Pikachu delivers a friendly headbutt to Charizard]

It's getting to be about time for the award ceremony, Ash!

Hey Leon, you're coming too, right?
