I think that Ash can have a rival in the BF saga...They don't need a league they can do what Ash and Paul are about to do...just have one massive battle just between the two of them...But, that's just my own opinion
1. More then likely he'll have Rpidash and Snorlax but, he might be used to show case Gallade.
2. We might get to see his battle against Volkner...I don't know why we would though
3. We might in their final one but, not their next one
4. Yes, Berry isn't the strongest but, by him losing to ash he trains and so in the BF he is alot stronger when him and Ash have a big battle at the end...with Palmer watching.
