Quoted By:
Alain would put up a better fight than Iris against Cynthia while Iris wouldn't even be able to beat the fucking Ape
Why?
Because Iris never fought or defeat any trainers outside of Unova which is filled with shitters that Ash would've swept it if he used his Sinnoh team
Meanwhile Alain is out there traveling the world, fighting every Mega Evolution Master he can find and had enough guts to face Super Ancient Legendary Pokemon
