Ash wins since he beat Leon but it'd be a close match,Paul mega evolves Garchomp with Magmortar as his 6th pokemon.I can see Paul beating Iris,Raihan,Gladion,Sawyer and Kukui.Ash and his JN team vs Paul (Torterre, Electivire, Garchomp, Drapion, Ursaring, 6th member of your choice). 6v6 with one gimmick allowed, though Paul probably has none. Who‘d win? @PokemonBattleFanatic-
Not sure about Cynthia,Steven,Diantha and Alain.But given the ridiculous powerscaling,the fact that Paul is still an active trainer,both were on equal footing in late DP and easily defeated Ash's Dragonite I'd like to believe that he could defeat them.
Of course the Paul haters will counter this argument by saying his best feat is finishing in top 8 of the sinnoh league and before that getting spanked by Cynthia and Brandon.
Either he stayed at the same level he was at in DP or he got a power amp just like everyone else in Journey,I'm going with the latter.I don't find it believable that Ash would leave Paul in the dust and have such a huge gap in power to the point of Paul getting swept in a full battle.
