Matches are fair. Ash has already defeated Iris. It would probably be absurd if he ever met Iris again. The much stronger Ash already defeats Iris.

Maybe he could have a rematch with Alain in the first round. But the authors wanted to fight gigantamax and mega charizard. I think it's a fun and beautiful pairing.

I'm starting to like Journeys. I criticized it at first, but now I think it has turned into a good series.
Not even gonna be GMAX Charizard cause Leon is gigantamaxing Rillaboom

I wish i could feel excited for the tournament, but at this point i feel nothing, which in it‘s own way really frustrating.

The only thing i‘m even slightly interested in is seeing people‘s reaction from ash beating cynthia, and not really anything from the actual show.

Can‘t even hope for some good chemistry and interaction between characters since we‘re immediately going into the fight next ep.

Also could we talk about how Tomiyasu are doing the thing by giving them moments in the anime. Geez Louise was it annoying when people were saying she bullied him or made him feel small during BW
LOL I still remember the dumb "Iris mean bully" bullshit when Misty got physical and actually tried to put Ash down for every and any mistake he made. Whereas Iris was more of a tease who clearly respected Ash beneath that harmless banter

Weirdos and you know its selectivity like Misty didn't slap Ash, question his trainer skills (joking wise) , argued with him or didn't threaten to slam a bike over Psyduck but "lol she so quirky and her temper is funny!"

Rillaboom, Charizard vs. Chesnaught, Charizard
Haxorus, ??? vs. Milotic, Garchomp
Dragonite, Hydreigon vs. Gardevoir, Aurorus
Pikachu, Gengar vs. Cradily, Metagross

Those are some cool matches! Did not expect 2v2 battles but I guess if you want to show everyone off this is the quickest way to do so (maybe it goes 2v2 quarter-finals, 3v3 semi-finals and 6v6 finals?)

Nice to see Aurorus and Cradily being used in proper battles (have we ever seen either under the command of a trainer before?) plus it keeps some sort of Gen VI connection between Steven / Diantha with them having a Mega Evolution and a fossil. Ash using Gengar is great, will we see GMax Gengar or Z-Move Pikachu vs. Mega Metagross? Lance having Hydreigon is neat and showing off his own Dragonite is awesome, hope he can differentiate his from Ash's or Iris's.

GMax Rillaboom indicates we're seeing Leon's Charizard beat Alain's Mega Charizard X without a gimmick which is... interesting? I have no strong feelings towards it. Chesnaught is also finally getting some presence and it represents some attachment from Alain to Mairin which is a funky callback! Plus it's just nice to see someone using Chesnaught honestly.

Curious to see who Iris's second Pokemon will be, I don't think it'll be Dragonite so Excadrill / Emolga / new Pokemon would be my guess. Wonder what gimmick she'll use, if any? Maybe she's recreating the affection mechanic from the games and we can watch Haxorus shrug off everything with the power of love. Cynthia having Milotic finally rounds out her team which is cool and iconic, guess her final team is established now?

It's not going to be Gigamatix Charizard vs MCX. It's looking like it's going to be G-Max for Rillaboom and Alain is going to get his **** pushed in.

I would be so owned if they brought back Incineroar to fight Steven. I really hope that the hidden pokemon is not a fire and dark type ace who has never had an on screen battle since evolving and would have a type advantage against Mega Metagross. It would be terrible writing to bring back Incineroar and give him a good showing and the alola champion starting the M8 with an alolan pokemon.

With all respect for Alain, but isn't choosing a Chesnaught vs Leon a stupid move?

It's 2x weak to fire and 4x weak to Flyign.

As much as I love the Rillaboom vs Chesnaught fight, choosing the latter by Alain makes no sense...

Yeah, Iris even only called Ash a kid over him legit being dumb and that was about it. Like at worst she'd truly get angry but to hit or truly demean/be a jerkass over Ash's flaws? Nah, she's better than that

Also too. Cynthia has a Mioltic which probably means she got rid of the slug. You guys think that Iris boxed her mons since she's the only Champ here who's team we practically know

it's actually 3 vs 3.

Reverse psychology; I like it. Incineroar & Hawlucha double battle when

I wouldn't be surprised either. The water-type Greninja defeated the grass-type Sceptile but lost to the fire-type Charizard. It's no surprise that the authors lost O Charizard to a grass-type pokemon.

But I was disappointed. A battle between Gigantamax Charzard and Mega Charizard would be great.
