While returning home, they encountered Leo, who recognized Kukui from his school days and invited them back to his place. AnAlolanDiglett also attended, showcasing its singing talents, though this only irritated Leo's star AlolanDugtrio.
Team Rocket,disguised as talent agents, offered Dugtrio the opportunity to pursue a solo career, which it accepted. Consequently, Dug-Leo officially split from Dugtrio, putting their upcoming concert in jeopardy. After hearing the news, Ash and friends rushed over to Leo's and offered to find Dugtrio. They tracked it down to the mountains and went on to defeat Team Rocket. Now with the addition of Diglett, Leo renamed the DJ group to "Dig-Dug-Leo".
InThe Professors' New Adventure!, DJ Leo attended the wedding of Professor Kukui andProfessor Burnet and provided the music for the event.
InBattle Royal 151!, DJ Leo was seen after Ash andhis classmates entered the battlefield onManalo Stadium before theManalo Conference began. DJ Leo was later among the 151Trainers taking part in theBattle Royal preliminary round, where he entered with his Alolan Dugtrio, but was defeated.
