I'd be pretty pissed off if after all this build up Ash doesn't even get to challenge Leon in an official battle. They have to battle again even if Ash loses.

All that time wasted, with likely no rewards at all to show for it unlike his badges
Not to mention I've always hated Leon(and his dumb brother), I don't want him retaining that title. Bad enough the games remind you that he's 'unbeatable and owns a Charizard' every five minutes.
I have a question, why is Ash wasting time visiting other regions when he is supposed to be exploring Galar? Why is he catching fan favorites all of a sudden from previous regions? I don't like the new direction. At least, make him see his old friends, it would make it a lot more enjoyable than what we have now.
Nothing wrong with the Pokemon he's catching, it's quite refreshing to see him capturing Pokemon that aren't to promote the newest region/games. So long as he still gets 5 Galar Pokemon, it's fine.
I do agree with the Galar focus though, it's
really annoying. As incredibly boring and overused as Melemele was, at least they were in Alola. I hope they make Ash challenge the Galarian gym leaders,
all of them, for the PWC. It's the best way at showcasing Dynamax more(Especially as he now owns another Pokemon who can Gigantimax, and he could potentially get more) and boost up his ranking while properly showing off Galar.
