>>39982429Even if Ash wins the league, he'll lose to the Masked Royal, thus pulling a "I have more to learn and experience! I'm going on another adventure! You can be the Champion in my place, Masked Royal!", You just know this is how it's gonna go down, they're not going to hand Ash the title of Champion to a joke of a league, the writers have also said that if Ash were to win a league, it would be using Pikachu and it seems as if Pikachu is his second Pokemon.
It'll go like this:
- Ash will lose to Gladion
- Ash will win the league but lose to Kukui
