None of the childhood-friend trashnime retcons.
They are next door neighbors and research assistants of Sycamore constantly chasing each other on skates, pokemon rides and dates throughout the story.
Dianthia stalks them because she wants to film their whole dating relationship with their permission, occasionally employing Ash and TR as a filming crew giving them goodies while they challenge the league (Ash), contest circuit (Jessie) and Battle-mansion (James) all with great success with TR realizing they have become decent trainers.
Ash goes big on Sky battles (he is a Flying type specialist like Lance after all)
The two groups fight off TF multiple times with Calem requesting a mega ring for Serena from the league as his reward since he is the one who got the ring from Sycamore.
Ash really getting tired of romance forgoes the mega ring for a chance all out match with Malva instead.
TR gets a small mansion with a pokemon stable as a reward instead since they like Kalos (they later let orphans live in it in exchange for them helping them out as caretakers while they travel with Ash).
During the final battle with Lysandre Ash still plays the hero persuading Malva to switch sides while TR handle the scientsists and Calem&Serana beat the BBEG.
All parties are commended and granted the right to challenge the E4 afterwards.
Calem and Serana both beat them with Dianthia/Malva retiring, Calem as Champion, Serana as the final E4.
James beats two E4 members surprising everyone as a good Fire specialist.
Jessie beats one E4 member surprising people as a great Ghost type specialist.
Ash manages to beat Calem but rejects the title because Calem deserves it more and can handle the job properly as an adult.
