>AHHHHHHH OMG THE PROTAGONIST AND MAIN CHARACTER IN A KID'S SHOUNEN ANIME ENTERED A TOURNAMENT ARC AND EITHER WON THE WHOLE THING OR ADVANCED ALL THE WAY TO THE FINALS
Are you people fucking retarded? It pains me but I have to seriously ask. No shit Ash beat Cynthia. It's a tournament arc. If he loses, it'll be on the final stage, not in the fucking semi-finals. This is the Pokemon anime. A show made for kids. It's a joke. It's good fun sometimes and has great world-building for the games, but the battling has always been a joke because there's never been (and never will be) any sort of consistency or structure. The outcome will always and only ever be determined by the plot, no matter how many rules they have to bend and break to achieve it.

You must have an actual, legitimate, debilitating mental disability to give two fucking shits about this. Now stop spamming the catalog with this garbage and keep it contained to your fucking general threads. No one else gives a fuck.
