So Ash is going to win the league with an over powered frog that he suddenly has a massive bond with? why dont they just name him the winner since every battle is going to be like what 5 - 10 minutes long? All Ash has t do is go Ash ninja, spam water shuriken and win easily. We all know the japs love overdoing the "muh protagonist bond!!!" with Ash so he can win anything and this time is no different.
