God I fucking hate this faggot. how do you manage to job to TRACE, when HR ISN'T EVEN ON THE LIST??
D R A K E WAS ON THE LIST.
> Trace
not real. don't care.
> Drake, orange islands
the ONLY anime champion I'm putting here, for funsies. his "league" is just a little thing they do for fun, and that's okay.
> Prof. Kukui
certainly no pushover, but he seems more concerned with raising a NEW champion rather than training to be the strongest. his power comes without him trying, though, which I think is neato!
> Wallace
the only reason he's here is because Steven is a lazy faggot.
> Diantha
I really wish I could put her higher, I REALLY wish I could. but I just don't see Her surpassing Steven.
> Steven
Steven and his crystal gems can suck a fat bag of dicks. the only reason he has strong pokemon is because of MONEY. he has no sauce, no juice, no kahones.
> Hau
he alright. with drive to be the strongest, he puts out results. Gladion is still leagues stronger, though.
> Gladion
when I say leagues stronger, I mean it. this secret superboss is the real championship battle, and you know it.
> Alder
he'd probably be higher if we ever saw him in his prime, but oh well. my guess for Alder-Prime would be equal to Iris, maybe? but that's a big guess....
> Lance
a tough one to place, but between Adventures manga version putting in hella work, and Johto version trying to stop the rockets, I'd say he's just barely above Steven
> Iris
debatably equal to lance, I really think they're on the same level.
> Prof. Oak
let's get this out of the way, first; Samuel Oak in his PRIME with a capital P, MOPS THE FLOOR with Chump-Ass Leon over there. but age gets to him, so he drops below.
> Leon
again, debatably equal to Iris; this chump has been coddled by a league that rigs the rules and players just to keep him in. don't get me wrong, he has the sauce, but it's just not spicy enough.
