See, this is what pisses me off about Ash.
It takes ages for his companions to learn about his achievements (sans Max who followed his Silver Conference).
Think Paul, who took three seasons and a offhand comment from Ash himself to find out that his nemesis beat the Battle Frontier. Think Trip (especially him!) who dismissed Ash as a floopy when the latter beat Darkrai and Latios in Sinnoh; no chance in hell do people miss that kind of news. The XY gang had zero clue of his previous exploits, and now we have Iris and Dawn not knowing about his Alohan champ status.
Fucking hell, Ash, I know that you're humble these days, a far cry from your days at the Indigo League, but maybe let it slip that you're an regional champ early on at least?
