Doubtful. If Cynthia is giving him this rough of a time, Leon's gonna spank him. The L will give Ash something to strive for.
Ash is already a champion, and I don't see the anime doing another repeat of him going through the gym matches and Pokemon League again.
The latest series has so many returning characters, usually the anime will sometimes have a few returning characters but this latest series has way more than usual.
The Team Rocket Trio don't appear as much as they used to.
Ash finally defeated an Elite Four member and a Champion.
Whether or not Ash wins the world championships, it still makes me wonder what the anime will do for Ash in the next series.
Yeah I know the anime with Ash isn't ending, but the latest series really does feel like it.
