As if the anime is insane enough to show 13 battles between that many important people.Since we know Volkner is ranked 27, I figure I'll do a list all the way down to 27:
1. Leon
2. Lance
3. Tobias
4. Cynthia
5. Steven
6. Diantha
7. Raihan
8. Gen 9 Trainer
9. Brandon
10. Palmer
11. Flint
12. Siebold
13. Alain
14. Drake (Hoenn)
15. Agatha
16. Caitlin
17. Lucian
18. Bertha
19. Allister
20. Paul
21. Drake (OI)
22. Anabel
23. Clair
24. Nessa
25. Malva
26. Aaron
27. Volkner
Regardless of the outcome, I feel like Ash's rank will still be lower than Volkner's. Maybe Volkner will drop a bit if Ash wins (and Ash's rank would obviously go up if he wins), but I still see Volkner being ranked higher.
Kind of hard to judge characters that haven't appeared in the anime, but this is generally the way I see things.
