I think this proves that ash's team wasn't ready for the league, he did better in sinnoh and hoenn
OMG aha.
Ash made it to Top 8 in Hoenn and he is in Top 8 this time around too. Are you saying Hoenn team wasn't ready too? Seriously biased fans at their best.
On Topic: Don't you people find the title little strange. How can Lucario vs Pikachu be Unova League Conclusion? It is a Top 8 battle. They could very well mean it is conclusion for Ash but that would sound a inappropriate because league is for everyone.
And who is to say that the league can't end on Jan 17? It could take up like 5-7 minutes from that episode where Ash loses to Virgil who goes on to win the tournament. They have done it before.
