Leo saw the injured Rockruff crawl back to its trainer and couldn't help but feel bad for the thing. Nado was also disappointed that they wouldn't give their battle a proper conclusion and let a saddened cry out to its trainer, who was already taking out a potion to heal the minor injury that his Gible had received as well as the poor Rockruff that they had fought. Maybe he had let his temper get the best of him too easily. Before he could even offer to heal either of them up, the professor's son had already pointed out a healing station a short distance away.

"I 'preciate it, your pokemon was pretty good out there. I'll keep an out for you." 

"Bible!" Nado cried out in shock and jealousy as its trainer seemingly forgot to compliment his efforts during the match.

"What?" Leo picked the Gible up with both of his hands, smiling at it as the creature looked back at him with squinted eyes. "You always do good. No point in me telling you what you already know, right? Let's get you healed up, alright?" The Gible happily buried itself in its trainers embrace as it was carried over to the healing station. 

"You'll be out in a sec." Leo returned his companion into its poke ball and handed him over to the nurse for healing. As promised, it was out and about soon thereafter, now with reinvigorated energy. He hoped the registration line wasn't too bad, that battle must've taken some time. Although they had lost, he still felt it right to congratulate the opposing trainers for a job well done, at least with a handshake. Not many had been able to survive so long against Nado. They lacked manners, but he wasn't so thick that he couldn't recognize skill when he saw it. He at least wanted their names.

Leo had finished registering for the League and was officially ready to start his journey. It was a big step forward, but Nado's cheerful demeanor was more than enough to quell his nerves.

"Is that..." Leo squinted his eyes to see the same trainer girl from before talking to a boy and a girl. He gestured for Nado to follow along with him as he reached the girl. He politely cleared his throat as to bring his former opponent's attention to him. 

"Sorry for the interruption, but I just wanted to say that we had a good battle. You and the other man lasted much longer than I expected." Leo closed his eyes to give her a short bow of respect. Nado gave the Rockruff a simple cheer to congratulate it, only to imitate its trainer after Leo opened his eye to take a sideways glance at it.
