Easygoing Luxray.
I mean there will already be a whole bunch of Lucario pandering once Ash's Riolu evolves.
Yes, but I don't want his eventual Lucario to have...another Lucario rival. There's over 900 critters to be rivals.

It's like Ash totally missed a Charizard-only rivalry with Alain but things ended up awkward because freaking Trevor got the Y version.

I'm fine with a rematch happening, just so long as it's not ridiculously overextended like Torracat vs Incineroar! Just have them face off again in 20 episodes and let Ash's Lucario win, the same species vs same species rivalry crap is boring as heck!

Still not over the fact that he got a Mega and not Tierno -_-
 
I don't know if I want Ash lose to Korrina, of all people. He'll eventually lose to someone and, with Korrina confirmed to the PWC, she'll pretty much come back in other matches. I prefer if Ash win to display he can win against someone of her tier, then bringing someone really hard to serve his first defeat.
Maybe they can get someone like Bruno, who recently registered for PWC, beating Ash. That would make much more sense then losing to her.
An Elite 4 level Lucario for the WCS would be amazing, it would even give Riolu a real nice endgame goal to push for.
I don't think any E4 uses Lucario. Cynthia has one but she is a champion.
Are you sure about that? From what I remember we didn't even see its face after it lost.

Why do you want that Ash loses?
To create a sense of tension and stakes. If Ash has his rank go down it means that losing will have consequences.

Of course he may not end up losing to Korrina at all and have his first loss in the WC be against Raihan

Because that's good writing and shows he still has to improve as a trainer

like ya know, training his pokemon that he's done nothing with for 20 episodes, which an episode summary literally calls him out on
If it's the same summary from that magazine that praised one of his monsters for being big and apparently reliable, it should be taken with a grain of salt.

*Blurb: Satoshi grins even as he sees Mega Lucario's power. What kind of plan does he have?!

Satoshi's goal is FIGHTING DANDE, THE STRONGEST OF THEM ALL!
Even if he beats Corni, he'll have to challenge and win against powerful opponents with high ranks in order to fight Dande!
He currently has 4 Pokémon!
The Pokémon he currently has on hand are Kairyu and these 3: Gangar, Pikachu and Riolu. Aim to increase your rank through battle training and getting even more companions!

BOKUREI: They use voices that resemble humans' to lure people deep into forests where they get lost!
KOFUKIMUSHI: It can regulate its body temperature using the power that covers its body. This lets it live in both blazing hot and freezing cold areas.
