Leon's eyes had been downcast, thinking over what had been happening. At Rasca's words, though, his eyes lit up in recognition just before he offered a small smile. "Ah, nothing. I just...get a weird feeling from here is all," he explained, laughing lightly. It was a clear attempt at hiding it. He hardly ever talked about his problems, trying to bottle them up rather than bother his friend with them.

Stepping to the side of the girl, he gestured towards Superior. "Why not try to bond with him and our new friends for a bit? I think I'm gonna sit outside for a while. Enjoy the forest. First time I've been out of Viridian City and all," he said quickly, grinning a bit as he tried to get around her. If he managed to, he'd retreat quickly outside, Nido close behind him. This forest was odd. He had a weird feeling inside of him and he could understand Pokemon a little bit better. It was always so much more of a struggle, more like he was guessing than anything. Here? It was as if they were speaking plainly. He couldn't wrap his head around it.
