"I've heard of the bloke," Leon answered, matter-of-fact. He seemed more awe of the Pumpkaboo than this man in question as he knelt down to observe the big Pokemon. Despite the morbid fact, he found it cute and once again reached out to give it a pat of his own. "I haven't contacted him yet, but I probably should. Being champion and all: I should be able to ask him favors like that, right?" He cross his arms and then hum to himself, a solemn expression on his face. "I'll look out for it. Maybe have a great friend of mine do it for me."

While he spoke of the professor, he seemed bitter for some reason, but only the champion himself would know. His demeanor changed quick when he focused back on the Pumpkaboo—one of gentleness. "I hope they haven't been running off so often. That's spooky, I admit, but at the same time, very busying." Standing back up, Leon stretched his arms above his head, giving a little groan. "Alright! You want to continue playing tennis or would you like a Pokémon battle?" His face was lighting up like a child's with so much expecting.

The Pumpkaboo floated on up and presented a happy expression, seeming to enjoy their first impression of Leon. The light within them would glow different intensities, fading in and out. As an act of kindness, they presented a berry to Leon.

'Pumpkin says it's a pleasure to meet you, Leon.' The Pokémon connected once more. 'To Rhea, she's adjusted to the disappearances. As a sort of apology, Pumpkin usually brings presents. It's an ability they have, to find that stuff.'

Rhea seemed to give an answer to the next few questions, putting the racket away and bringing out her phone. She then texted on it for a little bit before sliding it in her cardigan pocket and picking up her tablet. 

Moving over to Leon, she decided to use her device again, implying she was no longer doing tennis. 'I contacted my mother to contact him. It's not always guaranteed that people know champions from other regions, but I think he knows me. If yes, I'll send your contact information.' She typed down, giving a delay for Leon to hear it all repeat.

'And it would be interesting to participate in a battle. How about this. We have a battle and exchange favors. You get to mega evolve. I get to dynamax. Deal?'
