Would you watch new episode about Ash get training with Iris and Alain before semifinal/final?

Training together with Iris and Alain?

Iris and Alain are close friends of Ash, so it would be nice if there was a new episode focusing on training together before fighting Cynthia or even Leon.
As long as there should be several episodes with a break between the rounds of the tournament.

For example:
Ep. 118 - Ash vs Steven
Ep. 119 - Chloe's Eevee
Ep. 120 - Ash's training with Iris and Alain
Ep. 121 - Leon vs Diantha
Ep. 122 - Ash vs Cynthia

If there's time then yes, I wouldn't mind seeing Iris offering to help train Ash's Dragonite and Dracovish. Plus she could give them some good advice too.

Alian would probably help with training with Mega Lucario.

We've already seen Ash battle and defeat Iris. It would be great to see him battle the other Regional Champions as training, outside of the Master Class.

Maybe Diantha & Alain (The two trainers who Leon defeats) and finally, maybe even Lance before the final fight against Leon. Despite Ash originally coming from Kanto, we hardly see any strong link between Ash and the region these days, outside of Pikachu. Would be nice if Lance sort of passes the baton to him and asks him to accomplish what he couldn't do last season.

Seems unlikely we'd have all this considering the number of episodes we have left.

Yes if Ash wins against Leon. No if he trains to lose in the end

Nah. We got plenty of time. We've got around 15 eps left. We're fine.
Don't forget we also have Project Mew Episodes + Chloe episodes + end of series episodes + 1 Filler at least.

There's also a very good chance we'll have an evil team arc towards the end of the series.
 

DuquÊ?

Too lazy to pick a pic
Yes. A billion times better. I want to see dragonite perfect the “dragonite meteor/kairyuseigun”.

Until groakey gets lost and everyone stop everything to search it, ruining the episode.

Evil Team arc can coincide with Project Mew.

118 is Ash v Steven
119 + 120 are both Chloe and a breather/training before semis
121 + 122 are both semi final battles.
123 - 127 is villain arc/Project Mew arc.
128 - 130 - Ash vs Leon
131 - 132 - Epilogue

If 120 is Chloe, then 119 Will be the second half of steven's battle + end of round 1 league stuff.

If Ash vs Steven is 2 battles, then, Ash vs Cynthia will likely also be 2 battles (Or 1.5 with Leon and Diantha's fight extending to 1.5 episodes).

So basically, that leaves no time for any training episodes.
 
No because then one of JN’s members will beat MCX before Ash Greninja which is a sin

Not necessarily. Most likely Ash v Steven is one episode.

For Ash vs Steven, not only should the battle end, but we need to also factor in the time to mention the semi-final matchups including some dialogue between the Champions regarding this and also, basically whatever is necessary to conclude the end of Round 1 battles of the tournament.

Hence, I think it's very likely the episode should extend to 2.

Plus, it would be strange to have an Ash training episode (119), followed by Chloe's episode in 120.

How about Ash vs Steven in 118, then matchups + Training in 119, then Chloe in 120, and semi finals begin in 121.

Don't you think it would be strange for Ash to go and train (Serious Training with important characters) and suddenly have a random Chloe episode without any connection to this?

How about we shift them round. 119 is Chloe and 120 is Matchups and Training.

Actually, the Matchups (End of Round 1 ceremony) should happen right after the Ash vs Steven fight.
I guess they could wrap up the Ash vs Steven fight and conclude Round 1 in Episode 118 (Something like the Raihan fight).
Episode 119 is the Chloe fight.
Episode 120 is an Ash training fight before Cynthia (Which would likely be with Iris).

Outside of Iris, I don't see Ash training with any of the other Master Class members, before the Cynthia fight.

Well, announcing the matchups takes like... 30 seconds at most. It'll be during the time they've previously used to get the next two people on the field.

I'm hoping to all see some dialogue between Ash-Cynthia/Leon-Diantha and also maybe some updated rules like Time Frame until the semi-finals, perhaps any additional rules (Would be great if they make it to 4v4), etc.

It can be done like the end of the Ash-Raihan episode where all the names of the Master Class contestants were announced.
