Leon paused a moment as she mentioned the battle. It must have been Roy's sister. Frowning a bit, he decided not to mention his own battle. She had taken it kind of roughly when Yellow had praised him. He had full faith that all she needed was a little practice to be good and, truthfully, he had won through type advantages alone. Well, other than Spearow, but his Charmander was surprisingly well trained.

So he kept quiet, taking her jibe with a small smile. "Oh, well, you know. I couldn't stand to be away from you for so long," he said, spreading his arms out in an overly dramatic fashion. "I was so lost and confused without you at my side." He put the back of his hand to his forehead in a feigning gesture before grinning at her. He was careful with his words. He had almost commented on her beauty, but he thought that a bit too far for a joke. Especially, considering his feelings for her. He didn't want to reveal those! That'd just be mortifying and awkward. A light tint came to his face as the thought, but he quickly moved, his back to her as he went towards the Pokemart. "It was all well and good, but there's only so much you can see. There are a few places I want to visit now, but I knew most of what was said about the fossils already from the internet and books." He laughed lightly.

That was normal for him at least. He had known all that nerdy stuff before going to the museum.
