>Alan just exists only to get humiliated by Leon as a writers' final apology to Ashfans for what happened at Kalos league (Ash beating Leon at final will also serves as him beaten Alan)>Lance is just an old geezer filler since writers need someone to feed on Diantha. As she is more popular. (imagine the fans backlash of her losing to a forgotten literal who)>same with Iris get chomped by Cynthia, as her fans are even more vocal (yet fans of both knew that this match is a dead end as winner will get mowed down by Ash at Semi. Basically winning for a privilege to get thrased by him)>Steven might as well surrender to Ash's plot armor.Those who lose at semi (my bet is Cynthia and Diantha) will have both their fans guaranteed seething and salty as fuck since they actually really want their champ to actually win this tournament.
>at least my champ is at top four. Not like your quarterfinal losers.Better, add third rank match between Cynthia vs. Diantha for maximum salt mining.
This entire tournament feels like rushed ending for Ashnime. The story is pretty much horrid and forced. Very oblivious on who will win and lose since the matchups revealed.
