>>29389307>>decides to keep his champ title despite Lysandre giving him the power to gain it in the first placeLysandre gave him the Mega in exchange for his servitude, and threatened to take it away should Alain underperform. Alain was the one who trained his Pokemon to be powerful. He trained because he wanted to use his power to help others.
It's just like how Ash got a very powerful Froakie from Sycamore, which gained a special snowflake form because plot. And Ash had to work to master it, albeit doing much less work than Alain did to train his Pokemon.
Once he realized that Lysandre was bad, he used the power to fight him. After he helped stop Lysandre, he stopped using it.
>never actually apologizes for almost blowing up the worldDoes it matter? He showed he was sorry by fighting Lysandre and trying to stop him, and also saving Manon's Chespin.
>doesn't recognize Ash as the hero, doesn't give him the champ title for being the better manIf anything, Bonnie and Zygarde are the main heroes. Ash and Alain mostly spent the arc fighting Lysandre together.
Ever since Alain met Ash, he's been praising him and battling because Ash helped him forget his troubles and find momentary happiness. He's always shown appreciation for Ash.
And why would he give his title away. He earned it, Ash thinks he earned it, Diantha and Sycamore think he earned it, and there's no way Ash would take the Championship if offered.
>doesn't hand himself over to law enforcement so he can face justice for his crimes, whether he would get pardoned is unimportantHe was a victim, and he is only indirectly responsible at best. He also helped save the world.
You're just being extremely nitpicky for the sake of some "punishment" he doesn't even deserve.
