>>39867065>Ash would probably lose every tournament except 1 (the one he'd need to qualify for the final tournament)There are more than eight regions in the pokémon world, so just make it like Contests/Tripokalons, where there are dozens of tournaments but you need a set number of victories to get to the finals
If the requirement is four victories for example, then he could compete in seven tournaments taking place in the old regions, but only lose three. His opponents in the finals could just win four tournaments in different, unknown regions
But I honestly don't care how they do it as long as best girl appears again
