I read that as the anime's not-so subtle way of telling us that Ash is not allowed to win with type advantages in this series. So that this somehow justifies his dumbass decisions the other 90% of the time when he battles, and probably to "justify" his poor choices in his upcoming battle against Clay.
I'm sure there's some storyline reasons for this too because Chili needed a win, but you'd think they'd just have Ash stay the course and use like, Snivy or Swadloon or something. And then show that type logic is actually not a bad thing. But then people might read that as Chili getting a cheap win.
In that case, they should've had Ash go the neutral route with something that's not strong or weak against fire. But that's too sensible. Even in a great episode like this, BW logic can't resist fucking things up juuuuust a little bit.
