For one, that's cartoon logic. The moves don't work that way in the games, and the writers made that up so Ash could win. For two, that's Pikachu accomplishing that, not Ash. Ash never trained Pikachu to do that beforehand, which shows that it's Pikachu who's the elite one, not Ash who had to force Pikachu to figure out a new move on the spot.
There is nothing about Ash that shows he deserves to be world champion. He only received the title because he was gifted 5 elite pokemon so he finally retire. Ash did nothing to deserve it.
Honestly, anon, you have a serious problem.
