I was enjoying Cameron vs. Ash until Cameron pulled out a Ferrothorn against Ash's Pignite, and then a Swanna against Pikachu. I could've made peace with the decision if they had some gimmick that made their choice make sense, but they both went down without doing anything substantial. With the 5 vs. 6 bit at the end, it just seems like they didn't want to write a full battle. At least Pikachu vs. Lucario for King of the Shillmons was pretty hype. I'm glad Virgil won, anyway, and claimed the crown of Shillmon King for Eevee.
So that's the last of the traditional Leagues for the Ashnime that I've seen. Ash has a tendency to either lose to the winner (Tyson, Tobias, Alain) or for his opponent to go on to lose the next round (Ritchie, Harrison, Cameron). It's an interesting pattern at least.
