>>55879204>Alain has canonically already fought and defeated an Elite 4 memberWith a single Blast Burn that the Pokémon freaking resist, you can totally see the forced writing and plot armor from there. That's how Alain's wins always were in the show. No skill, no talent, no strategies, just dragon claw dragon claw and plot armor protect me .
>Objectively speaking,Ash was always more developed, stronger and smarter trainer than Alain who only trained one Pokémon and wins with plot armor because he was some incel executive's self insert who is still salty that nobody liked him on highschool and sees Ash as the "popular guy" from his school that he is still jealous off.
