To be somewhat fair, this was most likely done solely because there were already way too many Pokemon battling at once as is, so adding Alain's entire team would have likely cluttered things too much and/or been too much of a hassle to animate. That might also explain why Ash's non-Pikachu and non-Greninja Pokemon were taken out so quickly, and also why Lysandre himself only used two Pokemon instead of a full team, something that I would have personally liked to see if only so the rest of Ash's Pokemon could each nab sort of a "consolation" win, particularly for Noivern and Goodra, who were pretty much dead weight during the League. Battling against Lysandre's other Pokemon would have also served to better justify Gyarados taking out the rest of Ash's Pokemon so quickly, since they'd already be tired from fighting against the rest of Lysandre's team. But oh well, shoulda, woulda, coulda...If only we could say the same for Alain’s non-Charizards
