Champion
A Kingler appearance. What a comedic thing to do. I wouldn't have minded seeing Misty travel with the group for a while longer as well as Brock staying out of the group a while longer. Maybe Tracey could've went along and it would've felt like the Orange Islands again sans the Lapras riding. I also felt that May and Max returned way too early. Maybe they could've rejoined the group at the site of the first contest.
