Pretend that the anime was actually serious and Ash had kept every Pokemon ally and nonsense powerup from every season and movie. That means things like calling in a favor from Mewtwo and Mega Fug, shooting aura balls, Super Saiyan Ocean Rider, throwing trees, jumping into hot air balloons mid-flight, and so on.

Now put that against the protagonist of the last non-Pokemon anime you watched. Who wins?
