That moment I found a lifetime treasure
Now that Ash has become a world champion do you think he can beat any version of Red?

Canonically he went from amateur to the strongest in the World in less than a year. Red WISH he did something like that

You mean 1000 episodes? Red did it in 12 lmao.
12? More like 4 episodes, each being increasingly rushed with a personality less MC and having a weakass Mewtwo. No trainer in Origins looked half as intimidating as heck even Alain in the main series
If you take Game Red and his team, Ash easily clears him
In Pokemon Masters EX, Ash as a sync pair easily clears Red
In adventures also, Red is goated but Ash beats him

Red is the weakest main character canonically due to being the only one not to encounter a legendary in the main story ...

Adventures Red is skilled enough to equally matchup to Ash, and has experience comparable to Leon and Cynthia, but Ash is simply far more powerful and has enough to skills to battle him equally, so it could go either way.

Adventures Red is more than used at fighting in circumstances that Ash isn't, like fighting against trainers trying to literally kill him and his Pokemon, so he will have a type of experience that Ash and the others simply don't, as he's also acquainted to fighting things a billion times stronger than him like Mewtwo and Deoxys and outwitting them.

He's the strongest, best written, and most skilled incarnation of Red to date, but even then I feel like the battle could go either way with 1 gimmick for each, and on Ash's favor if he can go all-out.
