The conclusion to a two-episode battle comes tonight in about half an hour! Will it be Ash, who has trained for 20 years and is long overdue for a heroic victory, or the Mega Evolution champion Alain?
THIS IS POKÉMON HISTORY IN THE MAKING PEOPLE! As the image above suggest, we WILL be sharing who comes out victorious so you have been warned. Please use the comments below for your anime discussion. There are various ways to watch Japanese TV online, such as with programs like Keyhole TV, or other methods but we will not be sharing any links to questionable livestreams, sorry. Do at your own risk.
AND THE WINNER IS… Alain!
Let’s enjoy some anime! Is it a coincidence we also get to see new Pokémon Sun & Moon footage today? Hmm…
<3 PJ

Nah I can wait
I don’t know if anyone cares but we’re getting a new gaga single next month. *cries*
Wow I thought she was done 😮
She’s been doing jazz and working on a new album, and after 3 years the new single is finally coming out. She’s worked with tame impala and mark ronson : O I used to listen to her all the time but since 2012 it’s been Lana Del Rey 24/7. But glad gaga’s releasing non-jazz songs again
Mhmm I love Lana too
Come here, daddy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
:/
..
Oh my god. It turns out, they brought back the B/W writers for the final.
OF FRICKIN COURSE!! They must hat Ash. First they made him stupid in B/W and now they make him fall at his highest peak. Buuncha pricks is what they are.
uh Guys Shigeki Morimoto is on Staage NOW!
Just about color splash now
oh
It’s okay S/M soon
YaaaaaH!
Yes
Screw the writers!!! After 20 yes they couldn’t give him the win. They doomed us all!!!! Ash-greeninja clearly hits consecutively and on here he didn’t do sht. They hyped me up with altaria’s loss and mega Sceptile but on here they added some depressive song AND THAT FIRE/Water shuriken didn’t do sht to charzard ????.. The anime will Loose a lot of viewers. Now I want to see the writers reaction to that lol!
What’s with the salt? He had a good solid team this season, Alain had
strong pokemon as well so it’s believable, and it’s the closest Ash has
ever gotten to winning the league o.o I can actually believe this loss
over Unova where he just caught a massive stroke of stupidity, used an Oshawott against a freakin Hydreigon and lost against a guy who not only forgot that he needed 6 pokemon for the battle, but turned out his sixth was the regional rodent. =.=
Alain is a fraud.
Hey the way I see it, he’s better than the random guy with legendaries in Sinnoh and the forgetful guy in Unova who won cause his Riolu evolved.
Numerous people now expecting Ash will still get the title because Alain will be exposed as working for Team Flare
Sounds legit
What happened exactly? Team Flare disrupted the battle and they gave it to alain?
No, it was a regular 6v6 and Ash was basically dominating the whole thing, until the writers made the decision to reset Ash-Greninja to level 5 and transform Alain into Tobias.
So why would Ash get the title if Alain were to be exposed? He still won the battle
Because Team Flare want to terrorize Kalos? And Alain is helping them in doing it. He’s a criminal?
but Alain still won the battle fair and square, I don’t get how being a member of team flare would change that.
Why give ash a trophy for mediocrity
Yeah, this isn’t Gen One xP
Ash was better than Alain, the whole battle. Then suddenly they decided to make his Charizard look like a deity and Greninja like an ant.
Unacceptable. They hyped us with the Diantha, Wulfric and Sawyer battles. Not to mention the Greninja recap vid they released in June, only to disappoint us, yet again.
that doesn’t really change much, I watched it, clearly Alains charazard was just better than Ash’s greninja, while his other pokemon were on par with his other pokemon
Dude if Ash-Greninja is on par with Diantha’s Gardevoir, its clearly stronger than Charizard. The writers just took the easy route, again.
Not necessarily, we never saw Alain’s Charizard go against that Gardevoir.
Doesn’t change the fact they choose the easy route. Him losing means many people will continue to watch the show. If he’d have won they might have feared that the show would die out.
Yeah, pretty much. I guess I was one of the few who assumed he wouldn’t win. I mean, it’s like Gilligan leaving the island xD
Honestly I think if he had won it would make more people watch it, most people are tired of seeing him lose.
I am tired of his presence in general
well did gardevoir beat charazard? if not then it still stands as the better pokemon
He’s a criminal but he still won the battle. They’d have to organize another tournament, not give it to Ash
OHHH so that happen. I thought they actually had thrown in a mega snivy with fire on its tail and wings!! Thanks for clarifying!!!
6:00 in US
Now I really hope Ash never wins anything, because no region deserves to have him as their champion
Wouldn’t be the champion anyway if he’d have won, Diantha’s the champ.
You NEED to stop. When anyone talks about Ash being champion even after this battle, they mean in the end if he gets to challenge Diantha. Stop being so technical!
What kind of answer is that after you almost defeated megabride with a NORMAL SHURIKEN!! And she is too Pokemon of the KALOS LEAGUE!
Except Orange Island and the battle Fronteir!
He would’ve lost to the first person who challenged him. And by this time there must be other champions already
Yeah and In the orange islands that was his easiest match his first down was a tie and he beat half of Drakes team with that
They really broke my heart with this one. Ash really deserved this. The agony should’ve ended today.
almost 2 hours left right right ?
Yup
That’s my hope right there. This is what keeps me going even after suffering such loss from that mega snivy vs ash greeninja battle … OH THE HORROR!!!
jp?…….r u the dark side of PJ?
left right up down right right left
Thought you were entering a cheat code
It’s up up down down left right left right B A Start
That’s exactly wat I meant.
I live in the Netherlands, so time here as it is in Germany. Its a little over 90 mins left.
Omg a fellow Dutchman ??
Inb4 all that is shown today is the sand castle pokemon x)

The dislikes are real!
They buried the show, with one stupid decision. Watch SuMo series collapsing after 10 episodes
That…..seems a little harsh lol
Harsh, but that’s the first time they got everybody excited for change (Ash winning), only to go back to status quo in the end.
They kinda deserve it, not for the fight, but really, he is basically the only main protagonist on a big anime that didn’t achieve much after 20 years….
Fully deserved
Alain and Numbuh 55 Vs Team Flare!
I gotta admit they got me. After 18 years of watching the anime for the first time I actually thought Ash might win. The only other time I thought he actually desereved to win was the Sinnoh conference, but I honestly am a little surprised! Good going Pokemon anime . You got me!! lol
I’m befriending the commenters on the live stream on youtube lol
Link?

What is that stupid plopping sound that goes off every 5 seconds
Being honest, the only anime-related thing I’m upset about is how they throw in the boring Team Arc after the league now =/ The N-Saga was boring filler, no new pokemon, no new moves, no evolutions, and now it’s Team Flare’s turn! =D *Roll Eyes*
New arrival me Matee’s
ahoy
I meant article spell check is bad
an article stupid spell check
This is stupid.
They get everyone hyped, for the first time I believed that ash would win. XY in general was very good, but the league aside from Shouta Vs Ash sucked.
Alain winning makes no sense. He already beat Ash twice before and already collected mega evolution energy for team Flare.
Sun/moon will not have gyms, so this was Ash’s last chance
Still very sad and hurting, but I’ve just realized that Ash has now reached every stage in a league conference at least once. I don’t know how they will do it, but at this point I actually believe he might really win the Alola league.
He got the final for the 1st time, it shows he has vastly improved as a trainer, but also as a person.
there is no alola league, this was his last chance, alola has island challenges
Just because ash lost doesn’t mean a thing. Remember Alan is in alliance with Team flare. What i think is going to happen.
Ash fights alan in a good vs evil battle during saving the world from zygarde. This is when ash beats alan, maybe with the epic water shuriken?
Diantha finds out that Alan was actually bad and was working for team flare. With that in mind, after ash beats Alan, she announces Ash as the winner, in which he goes on to beat the elite four and champion.
Just because he lost here, doesn’t mean we can lose hope. Remember, we have different writers. in the past, after ash lost the leauge, pretty much nothing happened. Just, oh, i lost. Lets go to a new region. But now, team flare is attacking while everyone is watching. Only one minute of Alan’s glory.
Think about it this way, we haven’t reach the epic climax of this arc. Remember how the Kalos leauge felt rushed? It may because there is way more to come i believe.
hope you’re right
Dood trust me I am right
Only problem with that theory: The rest of the arc is going to be about Team Flare and then we’re going on to the Sun and Moon anime, so that’s not gonna happen. Besides, even if Ash were presented with that kind of opportunity, knowing how stupid he is, he’d say “No, Alain won, I lost! I didn’t earn it!”
Alain did win. He is in the league rules. He has all the badges and won is way through the league without cheating. He earned the title and accepted the price at the league ceremony. The league is officially over. Even if they found out Alain was involved with the big bad, they’ll redeem him eventually.
Alain will be fighting beside Ash though. He’s not the enemy.
I could definitely see this happening, but I feel like this match would still somewhat taint Ash’s title. Even if Ash beat Alain a dozen times after it wouldn’t matter cause he lost when at the League.
I wish I was this optimistic.
I hope thou is correct
Just stop…
Wow, you haven’t learned anything from a decade of watching this loser. Remember this from the kanto Arc? Gary was right.
I agree with Brant. That is Eggzactly what I thought
But I got so mad when he lost.
What a shocking revelation…I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
