I agree. I also hope Rinto (Gallade guy) ends up being Ash's main rival in the series since he lacks one so far. It will be interesting if he ends up battling Ash in the Hyper class later.
He kind of has Bea as a rival, since he's yet to beat her after two battles which mirrors his usual main rivals. There's also the fact that Gary is returning and it was questioned whether he'd take on the role of being Ash's rival again, so I wouldn't count on a COTD like this Gallade guy becoming a main rival.
