Ash may have lost but i predict he will battle iris again sometime in unova and destroy her!
No, what is fact is that Pikachu will ALWAYS be on the show.
What is FACT is that every other Pokemon Ash gets means Jack crap in the end. No one will care that Ash had an Oshawott at the end.
Pikachu should be used sparingly, it's always going to have wins, it's always going to lose, it's always going to be in an episode.
But when it comes down to only being able to choose between three Pokemon, the last Pokemon that needs to be on there is Pikachu.
I already dislike Pikachu being used in every full battle (except that one 10 years ago) because the RAT will never be transferred out.
The least they could do is limit Pikachu's screen time, and battling. So many other Pokemon need it. And I don't care if it was Roggenrola, and Ash lost because Roggenrola lost, at least it would've gotten screen time and would've battled. This applies to any Pokemon.
But no we can't say that, can we? No we can't. All because of the choice Pikachu. Honestly all it needs is a decent win or battle once every 20 episodes or something, assuming everything else got treated fairly prior.
How would defeating Drayden payback this loss?
Pikachu's always going to be around and be used wether we like it or not, for those of you hating on it, get over yourselves.
I really don't mind Iris winning, but if she keeps calling Ash a kid over the next few episodes and starts acting like a snob because she beat him with type advantage then i will seriously doubt that the decision to have her win here was a good one and no different than Ash losing to Paul or Trip.

Pikachu seriously needs to learn some new moves, fast.
I knew iris would win, I love her and she's awesome
It's about time iris get her spotlight, she really deserves it, especially after taking so much unnecessary crap from fans
this might be a bit too much speculation for the episode discussion thread, but I really think the writers had Iris win here to set up a more significant victory for Ash later on: namely, the Opelucid Gym.
I may be way off, and there's obviously no way to know for many many months, but I've got a strong gut feeling (that's even stronger after this episode) that Ash will defeat Iris to earn his Legend Badge.
