The scan does say that Ash may take advantage of Dragonite's unnatural endurance factor, we might see some substitution after the initial Dragonite vs. Dragonite clash pertaining to the "how does Ash deal with Dragon Rush", that's where the bite locking may come into play.
I have a feeling that Dracovish will be the one to deal with Dragonite by using its large jaw (Strong Jaw ability) and stopping the Dragon in its track with a surprise Ice Fang to boot.
Kind of like how Gible pinned Dusknoir in the Sinnoh League with its jaw and delivered a devastating Draco...
This makes it more than likely that Ash wins now, even if they decide to pull the comeback trope (which I hope they don't, it's stupid and cliche).
So much for the Iris Champion speculation.
Don't be overly optimistic about Iris being a Champion and jump the gun.
This. Too much off screen development and 'tell not show' would be needed to make Iris a Champion in title. It's also disrespectful to Alder given how poorly and underwhelmingly Alder was used in BW, like some sort of...
That translation is quite wonky, and I still won't take it as literal confirmation unless they literally give her the title instead of vague wording like "climb the championship"
games =/= anime
they only serve as a basic framework, so unless she's confirmed to be a Unova Champion in some magazine scan or summary or even the episode, then till then she's not one
eh, having the champion outfit from the games suddenly doesn't make her the Unova Champion unless explicitly confirmed otherwise. its probably just a Gym Leader getup
