I personally don't see Greninja's loss against Alain devaluing what it did earlier or later.

Despite failing to beat Alain, Greninja achieved wins in many other fights, like against Mega Abomasnow.

Greninja got plenty of spotlight and success in XY. Journeys is Lucario's time to shine. Greninja's brief return was just to advance Lucario's story and development. Lucario did train with Greninja. That helped both its base form and Mega form.

May I ask why do you hate Lucario so much?

There are people who think that way. I personally am not one of them.

Ash doesn't need to rely on his old aces to achieve big wins.

That was the fan subs only. Dragonite's gender wasn't actually confirmed here.

To me, Ash leaving Dragonite in and hoping it'd wake up was better than recalling it and leaving it wide open when sent back out later.

Players in the games also sometimes keep their sleeping Pokémon out in the hopes it'll wake up before losing. Sometimes that happens, sometimes it doesn't. I'd say Ash's strategy was relatable to many.

I personally think the switching played into Cynthia constantly keeping Ash on his toes and not giving him the chance to gain momentum against a single foe.

Oh, right! Roserade can have Natural Cure! Didn't even consider that! Smart play from Cynthia! I hope that's the case. The surprised reactions would definitely be worth it.

It's to show off Cynthia's strength.

I've seen one person in Twitter theorizing that the way Ash beat Gastrodon was a reference to how he beat Grant's Tyrunt.

Leaf Storm, actually.

They both have scored wins in the past. They needed to lose in order to display that Cynthia isn't messing around.
