He'll probably clash with the villains for a majority of it and maybe there will be a tournament thrown in there.
Teh **** is Bades??
Oops my bad. I meant badges sorry.
^this topic does in a way beg the question, what's Ash's goal post here?
What is he to obtain during this arc, cause if he's just getting involved in Team Plasma (and Rocket if they come back later on in a big way) business then this filler arc at the end is pointless for him (As at the end of the day right now he is the only character who's development matters most) if nothing comes out of it, cause another team other than Team Rocket disbanding ain't exactly unique, taking TR down with them for example however would be.
I will say one thing though, we're past the league so if Ash does call on his older pokemon besides just Charizard then it doesn't matter, cause the unova pokemon have had thier time, thier past thier league so all bets are off.
Hopefully this arc will do something spectacular to get people over the region itself, since we all know how most people feel about that--;
But simply fighting an enemy team doesn't exactly seem all that spectacular since we've seen Ash do it before.
As far as a "tournament" goes, i'd rather see Ash redo the "indigo league" (who knows, Charizard could be an indicator) and win that than some offshoot tournament that will have a silly little trinket prize that won't matter in the end.
Why the hell would he go for Badges?
There are none left to get.
Except maybe the Legend Badge, but that's utterly pointless.
Please no. You saw how all the other tournaments were treated and received by the fandom. :/How about the actual World Tournament. With older gym leaders, or/and cotd's and rivals. Like a legit badass tournament.
