>If Cynthia it would've raised the stakes and show Cynthia in a scarier and a huge threat like LeonLeon was the world champion that had been hyped that season, not cynthia.
>That would've been pretty kino but they decided on her facing number seventh while still trying to show how that little girl raising Axew grew.An upset where somebody beat Leon and took his place in the finals against Ash would have been very kino, I agree.
