Similar to Each Other

Yo, Galar Champion! We were just talking about you.

Heh...

You're looking stronger than the last time we battled.

Lemme guess... You've been training a lot since you lost to Red, haven't you.

...Yeah.

I knew it.

You're just like Red. Especially how you react to losing.

You think I'm like Red?

But we have such different personalities and styles.

I'm not talking about your appearance or personality. I mean on a core level.

Winning makes you two happier than anyone, while losing makes you the most frustrated.

You're both unbelievably straightforward and earnest when it comes to Pokémon.

Leon, you and Red are the same kind of strong.

So trying to outdo each other isn't gonna be easy.

... ... ...

That said, I know you're not the type to stay down after losing, right?

You beat me, after all. So make sure you beat Red, too!

I'll be your training partner, if you need one!

Sure! Thanks!

Blue has been analyzing Red quite a bit.

I'm sure he'd be an excellent teacher. Don't you agree?

I bet he will. And a reliable ally!

So...Rose was gonna take me to you so we could chat, but before he could...

Charizard was already on it and brought you to us!

Hahaha! Your partner sure knows how to get work done!

I suppose it's Charizard's job to guide Leon when he's lost, hm?

Charizard...

That's true. Whenever I lose my way, you're always there to guide me.

You helped me out today, too!

Thanks, Charizard!

Hahaha! That's Leon and Charizard for ya! What a sync pair!

If I may, I have a proposal.

Would you like a rematch with Red in the Arceus Cup?

It'll be your chance to redeem yourself, and I'm sure it'll get everyone's attention.

Just say the word, and I can make a match between you and Red happen!

Well...that means...

This is a battle I can't afford to lose, not for the second time in front of everyone. And there's no backing out, either...right?

Indeed.

But I think pushing yourself even further would make you stronger.

Hahaha. You sure are crafty, Chairman Rose.

You already knew how I'd respond, didn't you.

My answer's yes, of course!

I was hoping for a rematch with Red on a grand stage!

I don't think we'll ever reach where we need to be for an arc suit unless we push ourselves.

An...arc suit?

Yeah. Lately, I've been training to awaken my arc suit.

Fantastic!

If you reveal it on the day of battle, the crowd will go wild!

Now that you've a goal in mind, time to get a move on!

Precisely! I'll be counting on your expertise, Blue!
