Journeys is where logic goes to die.
Prior, it was on life support.
If you don't believe me, Ash has a Frankenstein monster that by all means shouldn't be capable of rational thought and should be feeling extreme excruciating pain. (Ignoring this joke, logic dies here anyway.)

I mean faint clues are better than no clues Id say, and again this series has been a fan of off screen training in the past so they definitely did it here, I agree that the Iris battle wasnt scripted well and dracovish being deserved to beat angrynite or not is worhty of being a debate with skepticism, but I just want to point out Dracovish wasnt entirely a newbie

Yeah I agree it could be a possibility but you’ll have clowns claiming that because he beat Iris she’s somehow not Champion tier (yet Diantha was struggling against Greninja EPISODES before the league even started but let’s not go there) because of the unfortunate fact they decided to make Ash OP when it’s undeserved. Even that battle against Valkner made no sense

I mean, why would I help my opponent's Pokemon have an easier time fighting me and maybe even win. It's the trainer's fault they didn't prepare accordingly. I'm not that chubby-chubby. To hell with that. You gonna get rekt'd and be forced to acknowledge your shortcomings to become better.

They clowns for a reason
Iris is the Champion and the strongest trainer in Unova, people can deal with it! People can argue that other champions are stronger, Leon and Cynthia definitely are but by canon she is champion tier and again, Alder never did anything impressive either so its just pure bias against Iris at play here

Honestly I say she gave up the match. She purposely helped Ash cheer Dragonite up (he should of been taken out) and stopped commanding Haxorus while cheering him on using Draco Meteor so take that as you will. Although I recognized that isn’t a popular opinion.

Iris, why would you do that? Sabotaging yourself to help a friend?

But Ash didn't know he was going to loose. Iris did this during the battle.

She’s the Champion of Unova and Ash is the Champion of a pedestrian island league. A monarch doesn’t have to prove themselves to peasants.

It's an Unova tradition to have strange outcomes for battles. The writers were tapping into that weirdness.

And they've been keeping that tradition going ever since.

If that's the case, they wouldn't have battled at all.

I think a battle would of happened between them anyway. It’s not like the writers marketed it as “Champion vs Champion” despite them spoiling she was the Champion before the episode even aired.

I don't think Ash even remembers he's a League Champion outside of Alola.

Coma dream theory does say that his brain is deteriorating the longer he's in it, so I guess that explains why he forgets some things.

I don't care about people trying to put their headcanons of Iris not being champion tier when she is canonically a champion tier trainer. Sometimes reality is hard to accept.

If anything, I'm glad that he still loses occasionally since it proves that despite him winning the Alola League, his character hasn't become an overpowered Mary Sue. This gives me hope that even if he does end up beating Dande towards the end of Pocket Monsters 2019, he'll continue to struggle against opponents in the next series despite his accomplishments in this one.
