>>50982773>as for Steven, losing to Ash after pinning him to the wall is the least insulting way to go outAsh beating the champion of his own region would be more kino and he also had history with Lance while Steven is a literal who in his eyes. Ash is probably just fighting Steven in the first place to avoid another Dragonite mirror match. They should've let Diantha and Steven duke it out from the other bracket.
