Aim to be a Pokémon Master
As I've stated before, I might not be a huge fan of Pokémon Sun and Moon, but I was always in the business of seeing Ash win the League no matter what kind it's going to be. He has already proven himself to be worthy back in the Kalos region 3 years ago. Yet so many people didn't looked at his character or skills; they just looked at his results in a zero-sum fashion. Thus, in their books, Ash was still a loser. And that made me quite furious.
Then there are the people who said that "If Ash wins the Pokémon League, the show will be over" because apparently "League Champion = Pokémon Master." I've done so many posts explaining again and again why this is not true, that it was a fan misconception, and that Ash himself never considered the League Championship to be the end. And yet, it seemed nothing had changed.
As a result, I wanted Ash to win the Alola League. Not so much because I want Ash to finally win but because I want him to prove something about the League that nobody really got back then. That the League is not the end. That Ash will still continue his adventure even if he becomes Champion. And that he should not be denied victory to maintain status quo. This League was perfect. It was still the biggest moment for Ash's life and yet still not big enough for the show runners to simply say "Okay, time to retire Ash."
Because really, would a Pokémon Master ever consider retirement so soon?
