One really big problem with trying to figure out how the battles will go is I'm not really sure how the battle are gonna be taking place. Will it be in brackets like the Pokemon Leagues or will they be completely ranom? Either way, it's kinda hard to guess how they will go out. Not only that, but some of these could be very wasted (not like Journeys hasn't been disappointing tons of fans anyways). While I'm not really into the whole "Who's stronger, Leon or Cynthia" debate people always bring up, I can't deny that sounds like a really interesting matchup. But if we do that, Cynthia doesn't get to battle Ash and she is the champion he has the biggest connection to. It also doesn't help that, with the obvious exception of Leon, Cynthia is the champion with the most presence in Journeys There is also Ash vs Diantha considering they never even finished their battle, but 2 at least 2 other characters have a bigger connection to him. Regardless, assuming it's in brackets these are the matchups I'm predicting.
Round 1
Ash vs Alain- Victor: Ash
Lance vs Cynthia- Victor: Cynthia
Diantha vs Steven- Victor: Steven
Iris vs Leon: Victor: Leon
Semi Finals
Ash vs Cynthia- Victor: Ash
Steven vs Leon- Victor: Leon
Finals
Ash vs Leon- Victor: ???
Gonna be honest, I was going back and forth between this and Alain facing Steven just because I'd like to see Alain and Steven finish their battle from MES II. Well, like I said, with a brackets system interesting ideas could be utterly wasted.
