>>48341129>Its as if the anime still trying to avoid any rematch between Ash and Alain where Alain loses.Alain isn't a trainer anymore, anon. he wasn't even capable of mega evolving his charizard at the end of XYZ because he threw away the stones lysandre gave him, and he no longer has a reason to want to be the strongest. He has no reason to enter the tournament besides wanting to battle Ash again, and for that much he could just ask. But that's only if they were to cross paths.
Alain is just adventuring with his loli now. Besides, he's already been surpassed by
ALOLA LEAGUE CHAMPION BEYOND CHAMPIONS: BEA So Ash is already ahead by proxy of being on par with them.
