Lucius is evil and want power to rule world and Ash is greedy he want power to become protagonist again and Liko just want to retire so new protagonist can carry next gen and continue cycle.
Liko wins because Ash was so dumb he didn't even check his pokeballs which Liko swapped with empty ones proving he is too dumb to compete with her so Liko leave him inside Rakua without any pokemon to help him leave and she take the treasure.
