I agree, she should have beaten Zoey, which is also why they shouldn't have been in the finals together. As for Alain, I don't care that Ash lost to him, seeing as Pikachu deserved the honor of defeating Alain but got taken out too early to do so, and there was no post-League battle to rectify that.Oh well I respect your opinion. As for dawn she had a very extensive arc detailing her progress and failures. She deserved the final spot. Just because it was her first grand festival doesnt mean she can't do well. Ash didnt do well in his first league yes but he barely earned to do well anyways. Half of his badges were illegitimate. Meanwhile dawn had full arcs detailing her progress. She failed a lot. Heck she failed to go past the two appeal rounds consecutively. It all added to her growth and her finally doing well in the grand festival. Heck her losing is for me as bs as Ash losing to Alain coz she never beating Zoey was dumb and ruined their excellent rivalry up to that point.
