>>24853767Ash is a 2 time champion earning that position by fighting someone at their very best.
Red is a one time champion and only got the position by cashing in his elite 4 in the bank on Blue/Green right after he already became champion.
Red became a Hikki, hiding out in a mountain for the rest of his life and reflecting on how terrible he is.
Ash fucks a new 10/10 every year.
Ash > Red
