Fair points. But that's just the angle I'm going at it with. Is the angle with the Togepi/Togetic/Togekiss reveal. Just cue some flashbacks but you're correct in the sense that Togepi did see Misty first even though Ash won the tournament. Clauncher would be the catalyst for it. It's also to surprise the audience. Even though Clauncher isn't Togepi by any stretch of the imagination. Is it a stretch, yes absolutely. Is it a calculated guess yes. Heck I could even be wrong. I probably am. But in scenarios I see some similarities. We don't even know if its a baby Clauncher. I want to see surprises and deep cuts and a hypothetical Togetic/Togekiss return is just right that alley. It's also something we don't expect. (Did anybody honestly think we'd see Ash's Butterfree again. Even though it was a still image pretty much. I don't think so.Not really as the difference is the fact that in the case with Togepi, Misty had bonded with it before hand and she was the first one it saw when it hatched so it thought Misty was it’s mother.
In the case of the Clauncher Misty has not bonded with the Pokémon before the battle so if anything it would be more insulting for Ash to give Misty Clauncher after he beat her in the battle because it would be seen Ash taking pity on her and instead of him coming across being humble.
In all honesty if Misty is going to get Clauncher then there is no reason for her not to beat Ash in this battle.
Heck if anything this reminding me of the situation back during the Alola League in Sun and Moon where some people were insisting that Ash was going to lose in the finals to Gladion but Gladion would give his spot in the exhibition match to Ash.
