Assuming there's no Bewear shenanigans, I think James will win this, purely because he's using Maraenie, an Alolan Pokémon, while Jessie is using Wobbuffet, which has been around for so long, and is almost always portrayed as a joke. If Jessie used Mimikyu, I'm pretty sure she would've won.
My prediction:
Sophocles vs Mina - Mina
Kiawe vs Acerola - Acerola
James vs Jessie - James
Gladion vs Lillie - Gladion
Top8:
Guzma vs James - Guzma
Lana vs Gladion - Gladion
Ash vs Hau - Ash
Acerola vs Mina - Mina
Top 4:
Ash vs Guzma - Guzma
Gladion vs Mina - Mina
Top 2:
Guzma vs Mina - Guzma
Main battle:
Guzma vs Kukui - Kukui
Yeah, that prediction is extremely unlikely.No, no way Ash won't battle Gladion and no way Mina beats Gladion. Top 4 would be Ash vs Gladion, Guzma vs Mina
and Finale is Ash vs Guzma. Main battle can go either way.Al though I wouldn't mind Gladion beating Ash...
Also, since it's Wobbuffet vs Mareanie, it can go either way, if it was Mimikyu. Mimikyu would've won, tbh.
Or maybe he's annoyed at the fact that he has to face the most pathetic trainer in the whole knockout, who also so happens to be his sister.
Just please tell me it won't be like last episode where the main fight got so much focus the rest of short and feel like something out of BW...
I have a feeling Soph will get knocked out but Kiawe will pass to defeat his true nemesis (Lana). They already took out the main non-battler, Soph is the next logical target.As much as I want Acerola or Mina to win, I get the uncomfortable feeling BOTH Ash-tachii boys will advance...
Though is Lillie vs Gladion happening here, or are they saving it for next episode to give it some more action?

Even though I think Kiawe and Acerola looks pretty even, and I’m rooting for Acerola, while also thinking Sophocles stands no chance against Mina, I have a shaking suspicion that the boys will win and go at it in the Top 8
Also James is definitely winning this. That little scene with him and Mareanie in the preview means they are going to have a moment that leads to victory.
And the flyinium-z.Kiawe pretty much needs to.
They've got to do something with that Charizard of his
I'd have it almost the same, except swap Soph with Mina, and make it Gladion v Mina and Guzma vs TR.And the flyinium-z.
Ash vs Hau
Lana vs Kiawe
Gladion vs TR
Guzma vs Soph
This should be the matchups hopefully.
I liked that they barely showed Lillie’s battle with Gladion. He does seem ticked off for some reason.I
Next episode is dealing with Ash and Rowlet mastering Featherdance. They can squeeze in a few minutes dedicated for Lillie vs. Gladion at the endActually, I think that's him being annoyed at Lusamine cheering them one on the big screens.
For all we know (as previously indicated in my earlier post), their battle might not happen this episode and may happen in the next one.
Though Lille doesn't stand a snowball's chance. Yes, I get they're going for sibling vs. sibling drama, but she has EVERYTHING going against her...
(This may not be the Worst League, but boy is it a mess )
