>>39807714his future depends on the next battles
if he loses it will be marnie, meaning both pikachu and ash will have to deal with marnie and morpeko being tsunderes and having to earn money by working really hard
if he wins he wil go to Galar being sponsored by the aether foundation and as a sponsored champ he will go back to being true shonen protagonist with a theme song similar to xyz, he will have tons of people working for him helping him become the new galar champion with the best training equipement money can buy
honestly god knows what kind of anime we would have now if he had won in kalos
