Ash's XYZ Pokemon team

My boy had all fully evolved pokemon other than Pikachu of coarse and a Psuedo-Legendary and still lost the finals, at least he finally won and became Alolan Champion but I would be happier if he didn't earn that title when he used Rowlet unironically. Rowlet even KOed itself like Charizard did in the Indigo League in one of his Alolan League battles, by just falling asleep without knowing the move Rest. He even forgets he was the Alolan Champion in Journeys, where he beats Leon to become the world's strongest "known" trainer. To be fair losing to Tobias was just the story writers saying Ash is never becoming Champion, but going up against a team of at least 2 legendaries, possibly a team of 6 of them, was just lazy writing, and Tobias doesn't even become Sinnoh Champion after because he still needed to beat the Elite Four and Cynthia and int BW Cynthia is still canonically Champion. Since we never see Sinnoh's Elite Four members again we can assume either he's now a member or he was..
