>>52516056Ash obviously, considering him going in with the #8 rank and winning it all. But protagonist armor and all that.
Leon stomped anyone not named Ash, but that's to be expected.
Outside of that, Diantha impressed by beating a higher ranked opponent. Even if 4 vs 5 can be very close in these things, it was shown fairly well that Lance had the power advantage and she won by being the smarter battler. She did really well.
Iris is the last standout, actually keeping it close with #2 despite her #7 rank.
The rest didn't exactly impress compared to their rank, but had pretty nice battles nonetheless.
