I don't really see the problem with it.

Ash, Hikari and May all pursuing tangible goals at the same time is improbable enough, let alone the girl/boy ratio.
I know these writers are inept beyond comprehension, but I don't see why
every character in the main group should be restricted to reaching a certain goal, just to be a worthwhile addition to the cast :/
It would be nice if Hiraki actually did contribute to a possible *gasp*
plot, by taking an alternate route to the already tired and tested methods of collecting crap to make a career. Perhaps having some information on hand that threatens the progress of Team Galaxy, thus resulting in her seeking refuge with a group of trainers. Maybe she actually
is a member of Galaxy on an undercover mission, but eventually warms up to the idea of being friends with these trainers. Or even some farfetched link with the new legendaries. Those are lameas
s ideas that I pulled out of nowhere, but the point is that not every character needs to have 'insert goal here' to work.
