>>18050373Why couldn't Malva be champ? She's the one with motivation and enough embellishment of character to do it. Plus, there's never been a fire champion. There's been steel, dragon, and water already.
Wulfric would be a nice second option, though.
Wikstrom and Drasna would probably stay the same, though it'd be nice to see some development on them (the former working for Parfum Palace maybe?)
Seibold is seriously the least likely of the four to advance. He'd probably drop the league to become the owner of one of the Lumiose restaurants.
Valerie or Clemont could take his place in the E4.
I can see the rest staying the same. Korinna is another candidate, but she seems more preoccupied with studying MegaEvolution.
